Why did uploading that video make everything on my server slow down? Something to do with postgres I'm sure. Every time I encounter even the slightest of performance issues I think about upgrading to a much more powerful machine... just to be FASTER. Not actually needed. Need more disk space and personal computer shit first.

@krruzic maybe transcoding? I know on Mastodon at least the most intensive part of posting media seems to be transcoding.

@msh maybe but htop didn't show anything. I should get a gpu to speed transcoding up for streaming anyway, would that work for this too?

@krruzic can't say for sure. I'm not familiar enough with pleroma to know if it would leverage GPUs for image and video processing. In the case of mastodon it seems to eat lots of memory for what it dies, and provisioning 4 vCPU cores instead of the initial 2 when I waa the only user helped with performance...and postgresql was actually fairly modest with resources relative to all the other moving parts.
