baraag under max load, needs upgrade
🕑 Added 2024-10-16 20:50:30 +0000 UTCEarlier today, I noticed baraag being extremely slow to load pages. At first I suspected a possible ddos attack but upon closer inspection it appears that baraag is experiencing a spike in legitimate traffic. All the VPS slices in charge of serving the web to baraag users were under max load and they were struggling to keep up, causing a slowdown in page loading.
The only way I could make baraag usable was to go into cloudflare settings and activate a security setting that greatly cuts down on the load for the servers to breathe again, but it came at a cost. For those of you that browse baraag using an app, you may have already noticed that apps no longer work. Another side effect is that federation is broken, so baraag is essentially silo'd away from all other instances being able to communicate with us.
This is all temporary until I have another VPS deployed to raise the load ceiling, which shouldn't take longer than 1-2 days from the time of this post. The new VPS has already been ordered and should be added to the existing network of VPSes that runs baraag (for a total of 6 VPS slices) by the end of this week. Unfortunatey this will also increase my monthly cost by another $60 but l am grateful for all the support I receive to hopefully cover it going forward.

personally, it is better to ban predatory artists, posting their preview works solely to want people pay for the full version.

Only if they significantly disproportionately post more works than others. The person with 500 works posted might be making it more difficult for the other 9/10 with 50.

hi, could someone help me with server joining information? (and sorry if was already answered for someone). I'm an ai NSFW artist and I would like to know if it's still possible to join Barrag server to start posting my works through there. I'm looking for a good place to post uncensored content. Thanks in addvance!

usually as a guest, but right now the search access is limited, can't search by tags.

forcing people to delete their old works would defeat the entire purpose of this website.
Spring
Would limiting filesizes more, or total filesizes posted per account (to force users to delete older works), or compression to lower sizes for things help? Seems to maybe be worth implementing something long term, a limited space for freedom is better than none at all and since revenue options are limited it seems to me you'll have to continue to find ways to limit your costs while scaling the service.

Then how does one see your art?

Baraag only allows artists to have an account, otherwise you would need to link it from another instance that supports this.

I have heard of Baraag, but how do I find it and login to use it. please
lottery248
registering accounts on baraag is only for artists, have to use other instances instead.

It's good to know that I'm not the only one. You don't get an answer from the admin.

I got this domain address from another site and may be interested in fanifying but I have never used this site before. How do I see what kind of posts you share?

Are new users able to sign up for a baraag account or are we still locked out?
