hi #MastoAdmins,

Is there any way to limit the size of files you receive from other instances?

My #Mastodon server often receives huge files -- 100s of MBs in size (videos). I'd rather block them. My Media Usage can get out of hand very quickly.

I can see anything in the docs.

I also run a #GoToSocial instance, and I can limit what I receive. It just means the user has to click a link to open the file on the remote instance. Seems a great solution.

Thanks

Anyone put their site behind Cloudflare? It seems like a simple process with just A records. Is the performance and security worth it? I'm looking at the free plan for their CDN/Reverse Proxy/DDoS services.

The one thing that annoys me about Mastodon is the loading times. I have a fibreoptic internet connection routed via two proxy servers in order to keep my communications secure and, even so, my internet speed is barely touched by this setup because the servers are also of very good integrity. I guess what I am getting at is that I think some of these server admins are being a little cheap regarding the money spent on their hosting. So, my creative mind gets to going and wonders if there is a way to balance the load between all servers in a manner similar to IPFS so that when one is lagging, another picks up the slack 🤔

Moin liebe #Serveradmins ich bräuchte für einen #UptimeKuma + #CoTurn Server eine neue VPS, hatte für das letzte Jahr ne VPS von #IONOS mit 2vCore + 4 GB für 1€ 12 Monate, habt ihr Empfehlungen für neuen Anbieter, würde auch auf 2vCore´s mit 2GB Ram runtergehen aber halt ungerne 10€ bezahlen wie jetzt für die IONOS Maschine.

Nehme gerne Empfehlungen entgegen, wenns geht möglichst lange Vertragslaufzeit.
