Decided to look at network stats again. There are 1M more people using #Mastodon today than there were on October 27.

Setting up my Mastodon server made me think about availability and backups.

At the moment it's just a single database instance.

Harald's talk on Reasonable Availability, did a great job in explain that we don't always need the complexity.

However it prompted me to think that there are many times where sensible backups probably should be the first port of call rather than availability.

Pretty happy to have finally dipped my toes into Mastodon. Late to the party as usual.

It's super cool to see non-tech people joining and some organisations, definitely feels like some momentum building.

Time for a cuppa... Earl Grey please!
