It seems to me that about 20% to 50% of when I click on a post here, or reload a page or something, I get an error. Is it only me, or does the server not have enough resources or something?
The servers are sleepy and need regular naps.
What is up with the frequent little outages with ttrpg.network?

Hey there, we swapped to a new host back in December after our old host went out of business. So far the results have been… lackluster. I’ve been reporting to the host when I notice outages, which seem to be reasonably frequent unfortunately.

I see. Thanks for the info. I signed up for a small monthly contribution to help offset the hosting costs.

Certainly always appreciated. I will continue working with the host; It’s worth noting that things have gotten better than we first migrated. I prepaid for a year with the host because there was a 10% discount vs monthly, so somewhat locked in at the moment (not really locked in, but ya know, sunk costs), so we’ll see where we’re sitting as the year goes on.

The way these servers are federated may be the issue. As federation becomes more prevalent this may become more robust.

How would federation be the issue? I don’t understand. Do you mean that the federation process somehow overloads the servers?
