This is an experiment. Please boost.

mastoddosnt.ddns.net/

Here's the idea: This post is going first to my followers, then, if they boost it, to other people. This domain has been registered for only this experiment. I should see in my web server's logs when mastodon instances start crawling the site for info. Then maybe also some curious humans.

I just want to play with my monitoring a bit :)

@futurebird just my home server, nothing nefarious :) But more seriously, I wanted a better description of the 'thundering herd'¹ that popular accounts sometimes complain about. Also, see how well the tools I have handle this for monitoring. I already know that Prometheus is not made for this.

¹ yes, I know I'm not using the term properly :)
