I genuinely don't understand how a few dozen RPS from fedi server autofetch can bring down folks' websites

Are you like, set up to get slashdotted on purpose?

@noracodes I run nginx on a raspberry pi 4 and I'm pretty sure it can handle it (just a small static website)

@noiob oh yeah absolutely. See here: medium.com/@jamesjudd_21057/ho - it's bandwidth limited, not really CPU limited, up to 2.5kRPS at least!

Follow

@noracodes oh yeah then my upstream is probably my biggest bottleneck (and I have 50 Mbit/s, so I think I'll be fine)
