Howdy Fediverse - I'm looking for some folks I can discuss running an online community using #zulip instead of #slack or #discord and what their experiences have been. Is anyone around willing to share their experiences so I can help improve the #linux on #riscv community experience?

@edolnx are you thinking of self-hosting on a machine? no better way to shake out a platform than to put your primary comms tool on that platform. (also: somewhat risky)

@w8emv Indeed that is what I was thinking. It's probably going to have to move later, but it can start on a BPI-F3

I remember debugging all sorts of issues that only showed up with a net server that got busy or that I tried to push to the edge of its limits. So even if the BPI-F3 isn't enough in the long run, trying to get enough traffic through it that you discover something that needs to be looked into is definitely worth it.

Thinking a Usenet server got the load average way up without the thing tipping over, the key was a crontab of '* * * * *' to run the news queue.
