Surprised it’s not mentioned here, but Bzflag.

Super fun tank shooter game that doesn’t take much to run, and reminds me of a cross between the very old bolo game and Mario kart’s battle mode.

Nope - rust only for the backend. Node runs the frontend. Could definitely use a bot library in golang - it’s the language I program in daily so I’d definitely appreciate it

$. Plus, it’s been awhile and the writers have loooots of material over the years to work with I’d think. Also sounds like the general cast/animators/writers have fun with making the show

Yeah - this was a tad annoying at work today. Thank god for terraform if outages had become more severe

Been working fine on brave for me, haven’t had any issues

That too! All boils down to the unexpected. Reddit back in the day was always crashing too, only really remember it being stable the past few years

I’ve found with running my own it’s generally in the kilobits to keep up, except when subbing to new communities when it can spike up. Obviously more with more users, but it’s not terrible. Hosting in a DO instance

I’m guessing a lot of them all at once requires all the various CDN caches to be refreshed, so higher load on the database(s)

Did another today (June 12th)

In all honesty, there are a ton of us tech enthusiasts who have no problem paying 10-20$ per month to run an instance out of our own pockets. We get the ability to subscribe to content we used to use Reddit for, and we can have a few folks hop on with us. Multiply that by a bunch, and add in community funded instances, and we’ll be fine.

Gotta consider server costs were only a fraction of Reddit’s costs. Salaries are quite pricey, and we have lots of folks volunteering time which will make it all work.
