https://libravatar.org - freeing the web one face at a time
A few small hiccups in the past few days, but I promise it‘s for the best.
While the number of requests partially increased, we managed to increase the cache hit rate and decrease the CPU usage significantly!

Around a week ago we migrated to the new infrastructure. Guess how many requests we've served since then?

Folks... We know libravatar.org has been under heavy load recently and we relentlessly worked on getting this under control. The only way forward that we saw a few weeks ago is a new server. Good news: It's ready and we're in the middle of switching over the service. We'll keep you posted!

Happy birthday @libravatar.org !
While the original #Libravatar was created 15 years ago, the new version (code name ivatar) had it's first commit on the 7th of May 2018 - that's 7 years already! We missed the "May the 4th be with you." just by 3 days. :-)

Love in the air. @libravatar.bsky.social ❤️ @bsky.app!
And we hope this love becomes mutual! That's why we've been working on an integration for the profile picture - maintain it on Bluesky, use it with every service supporting the Libravatar API!
Thanks @ofalk.bsky.social for the idea and code!

We are here!

Yes, we ditched X as well. As many others. We're still on Mastodon of course, but Bluesky may become our preferred platform for announcements going forward.
