#ResPublicae was down for about 5 minutes as a service was killed by an OOM. Mastodon services spontaneously shut down and had to be manually restarted.

No further action is deemed necessary as we already have more memory than usually necessary. Shifting to a smaller instance would probably increase the need for manual work like this.

To reduce costs (and possibly save energy), we're experimenting with moving older files to cold storage.

For now the simplistic approach is a #Scaleway object storage lifecycle rule to move all attachments older than 180 days to the Glacier class. It's not possible for such rules to target only originals, or mp4 files, or files above a certain size.

In a few months we can consider whether to refine this approach. Feedback appreciated.

Some instances managed to survive a bit longer but now we're suspending updates of #ResPublicae accounts. We'll reassess in a little while.
