Okay, I got a fun idea for a new project! 😅
Let's re-create MySpace from around 2007 with a modern tech stack and make it fully functional again!
I'm going to call it !

Exactly one year ago today, I launched
@SpaceHey
on Product Hunt, Hacker News and Reddit. I created the initial version in about 3 weeks as a fun side-project.
Now, one year later, it's at around 400 000 users - which is unbelievable - and my life has changed A LOT since then! 🧵

My number one priority right now is to stop losing money with spacehey.
Servers do cost money and monetising a privacy-friendly social network with 550k+ users is very very hard.
I don't want to shut it down anytime soon 🥴
And ideas/help/suggestions appreciated! 🙏

Welcome everyone to the SpaceHey Community! 😊
Sorry for the slow server in the last days - if everything works out we'll have moved to a brand-new server cluster by tomorrow!

I'm finally done moving everything to the new System 🥳
Old setup:
- 1 server
New setup:
- a load balancer which distributes the requests between 2 Servers
- the 2 Servers connect to a 3rd server which hosts the DB
I can easily add more Servers to the load balancer if needed!
[Server Status] ✅
Server migration completed!
SpaceHey is now faster than ever before and we are able to easily scale it even more in the future! 🥳
If you're still seeing the "We're experiencing Server impacts" message, please restart your browser and/or device and try again!

@spacehey
Currently on 12 big cloud servers from
@Hetzner_Online
!
The vCPUs of the instances are currently at 100% pretty much all day long so I really need to make a plan on how to fund more servers. Oh, and the database cluster software crashes too occasionally.
Pretty crazy!

Advertisements don't need to be instrusive or privacy-unfriendly.
The
@ridgewallet
Ad on SpaceHey is just an image hosted on the SpaceHey servers which links to the Ridge website. No external content, no animation, no tracking. Just an an image.

Screw it, I need this and I'm building it.
I should totally study for my uni exams right now, but hey. PHP is one of the exam topics, so let's just do this in PHP and call it "studying", okay? 🤷♂️
I'm calling it 🦉
Lets build this! 🧵
Since freshping is shutting down, I'm looking for a new downtime alerting service - and it's surprisingly hard to find one. I need an affordable service that just checks a given HTTP endpoint every minute and calls me when it's down. Nothing more. Any recommendations?
