Reason number 327 you know you love your job:

Volunteering (insisting) to code an emergency workaround fix for your prod ecom website at 11pm on a Friday night, whilst on vacation with your laptop tethered to your phone.

And having a LOT of fun doing so (#regex, #Fastly VCL, Fastly Fiddle, ftw)!

@shlee clearly the (completely unbiased) answer is to go with my employer, #Fastly, instead 🤣

We've just flipped our CDN from #Bunny to #Fastly (#Cloudflare is next in the coming days).

Everything looks good, but if you see anything wonky with media not loading etc. please reach out to @kev or @mike.

Thanks to #community efforts, Fastly.com is sponsoring @opensuse with bandwidth, which enhances download.opensuse.org's reach. This change is live for #Tumbleweed & expected for Leap 15.5 soon.

Are any of my friends here going to #RustGlobal at #WasmCon?

I'm giving a presentation about how #Fastly uses #Rust on Wednesday — we're proud to support Rust through our open source program #FastForward, and we're rebuilding our systems in Rust to ensure a more trustworthy and resilient internet into the future.

Come stop by or let me know if you want to meet up and say hey. :)

A few weeks back, my company #Fastly put on a (partially) live conversation between our #Security team and @renchap about protecting @Mastodon from #DDOS attacks.

Thanks so much to everyone who attended live and asked great questions!

If you couldn't make it, here's the recording, and a PDF with the answers to questions we didn't get to live.

(it's... very enterprise marketing. But you do not need to give us any of your information to view!)

Além das #universidades e outras instituições que fornecem #mirror, espaço em disco e banda para as pessoas baixarem pacotes nos repositórios do #Debian, ainda tem as #CDN do próprio Debian.

A melhor aqui é a <cdn-fastly.deb.debian.org> que usa o #Fastly. Tem também o #AWS #Cloudfront em <cdn-aws.deb.debian.org> e o <cloudfront.debian.net>, mas o desempenho é bem inferior ao Fastly, mesmo sendo #Amazon.

Para usar um dos dois a depender da sua localização tem o <deb.debian.org>.

Para outros espelhos no Brasil tem o <ftp.br.debian.org>. Aqui encaminha para a UFPR.

@AyPapi
Yep, here is the exact quote:

> "These numbers are plucked out of the air however an indepth open-source analysis may expose that a cap of 256K or even 128K IP addresses may be appropriate"

We should probably lookup how many IP Addresses #Fastly has and maybe do a patch or something?? Note, the above page is **not** an official repo.

@blake Really? Are these posts coming from floss.social, or someone on their behalf?

We're fully aware of the trepidation regarding our use of #Cloudflare, and we're currently working on migrating over to #Fastly instead.

Proud to support @ernest and #Kbin — moments like what Ernest describes in this post are _exactly_ why I do this work, and why #Fastly (@devs) has a program like #FastForward. Because your contributions to #OpenSource, to the #OpenSocialWeb, shouldn't be stressful moments, and they shouldn't cost you. You should be focused on building.

Pricing has always been Fastly's Achilles heel, imo. So this is a welcome development: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20230613922301/en/Fastly-Expands-Its-Market-Reach-with-Simplified-Pricing-and-Packages

But I'm searching for the details (i.e., the actual prices of the packages) and all I can find are buttons to "Contact Sales."

I'm not sure the team actually gets it yet. Forcing me to engage a sales person to get basic information is not "simple." Just tell me upfront.

As much as I dislike Cloudflare, they have always understood this: https://www.cloudflare.com/plans/

#fastly

#Kubernetes, the #opensource system for automating deployment, scaling, and management of containerized apps, is one of those crucial bits of the #internet that everyone uses but fewer outside the tech community know about.

What's more, their community exemplifies so many of the values I hold dear: open, inclusive, trustworthy, and kind.

Today, the #K8s infra SIG announced their migration to #Fastly through #FastForward. Needless to say, we're thrilled to support.

⏩

@signalapp finally figured this out (partly). #Signal uses #Fastly and for some reason Fastly likes to reset connections with my network, and Signal doesn't try very hard to defeat the DoS

Our #FastForward program members have been up to so much great stuff recently! I wrote a round-up of the latest news on Fastly's new developer community forum:

To summarize:
— #Kubernetes Infra SIG updates from lead, Arnaud Meukam
— @Mastodon's May update from @Gargron
— Why the #Ruby API switched from Cloudflare to #Fastly
— How David & Niji keep Lorem Picsum running for millions of people globally

What have you been working on this spring?

@risottobias Heavy long time user of #Fastly here (Fastly SME at my large retail firm which has high volume traffic behind many Fastly services). Admittedly I can’t remember the onboarding process, but if you have a couple of questions, I can see if I can help (without, of course, becoming fulltime tech support 😉).

I attended #FediForum a couple weeks ago — there was so much great conversation, and you can see notes from all sessions here: 
https://fediforum.org/2023-03/

I called a session about how companies like #Fastly can be good stewards of the #Fediverse and grow it sustainably, for people, projects, and the planet.

I’m curious what everyone on #Fedi thinks too — here's more info about we’re doing with #FastForward and @glitchdotcom now: 
https://www.slideshare.net/HannahAubry1/fast-forward-for-the-fediverse-257444373 

So what are your ideas or concerns?

@b0rk For #Fastly (a CDN)'s language VCL (Varnish) they have an open interactive playground at https://fiddle.fastly.dev/

I’m excited to participate in @FediForum this coming week, along with so many people doing great work for the #fediverse.

If you want to check out the sessions & topics we’ll be covering over the two half-days (mornings EDT), you can see them here: https://github.com/PythonLinks/FediConf/blob/main/README.md

And I’m really excited to lead a session covering how #Fastly and #FastForward are supporting, and can further support, #Mastodon and beyond.

I’d love to see you there! Register here: https://fediforum.org/attendees/
