I've been building Flóðgátt, a replacement streaming API server for Mastodon. The goal is to cut RAM usage and make hosting an instance that much cheaper.

So far, we've cut RAM for the streaming server of an empty instance by ~94.2%

The next task is to make sure that lower RAM usage can scale without other issues (e.g., CPU).

To do that, I need a test server with enough connections to see how Flóðgátt performs under load.

That's where y'all come in: can you please follow @codesections ?

Hello! I'm a #programmer by trade, and a serial hobbyist. I use #rubyonrails in my side project. I would call it a business, but I've yet to be paid for it. I'm interested in prototyping ideas, and in learning #ruby best practices!

Some of my serial hobbies include singing, playing drums and guitar, drone racing, rock climbing, knitting, dancing at weddings, running, and visiting breweries!

Hey #ruby folk ... I'm trying to trigger an autoscaler for testing purposes. Anybody have a simple cpu-pegging method handy per chance?

has anyone upgraded a rails 5.x app to rails 6 beta?

I thought the javascript assets were going to be required to be moved to webpacker, but it looks like they still work via asset pipeline

is the change that webpack is the default for new apps, but sprockets will continue working for existing apps?

So where does one post Ruby jobs in 2019?

@usmanity you can try out https://exercism.io/tracks/ruby

Question. In which namespace `B` is defined?

```ruby
A = Class.new do
B = 1
end
A::B # => ???
B # => ???
```

Hi guys.
Ruby student here.
I just learned of mastodon and wanted to check it out. Never caught on to Twitter. This looks like a nice small group. Looking forward to knowing everyone.

Hi, I'm Jan, also known as halfbyte on the internet. Together with Florian, who's not on the Fediverse, I run Depfu.com, your friendly dependency update robot factory. I'm interested in weird and odd uses of ruby. I occasionally speak at conferences. I co-run the Hamburg Ruby Usergroup. #introduction

This is quite interesting!
Hey ya'll! I'm learning Ruby from Launch School which is an online school for Software Engineers. Cheers everyone✨

I'm extremely pleased to launch Run Your Own Social: How to run a small social network site for you friends.

This is a guide book to running a small, tight-knit federated social network server. It comes from my year of experience running Friend Camp. It's focused largely on SOCIAL solutions, though it does touch on the technical.

I've tried to keep it technology-neutral, and it should be a pretty easy read for anyone who's been on the fediverse for a while.
