...why?

Just confirming, but is Ditto itself running? That's what a 502 Bad Gateway typically indicates, that the service being proxied to isn't active, and your triage list didn't actually mention that. Please don't mistake me, just eliminating the obvious.
Next up, if you have some sort of firewall set up it may be blocking nginx's ability to communicate with Ditto.
Also, if you've configured ditto to listen on a different port other than 4036, please check that your nginx config is updated to reflect that.
There have been some issues with nginx configs in the past but as of latest ditto, nothing. Could you also confirm if you're on latest `main`?

Well, it depends how many users will be using it, and things like that. I have a testing instance over at https://metaman.space which i use as my primary client, it has 2vcpu/2gb of ram/60gb of disk and that is more than enough. Our bigger instances are 2 or 4 vcpu with 4 or 8gb of ram, gleasonator.dev is 4 vcpu 8gb of ram, and this has maaaany many users.
metaman.space runs its own Postgres, the rest all share a single postgres with 320gb of disk, 8 cores, and 16gb of RAM.
I wouldn't worry too much about CPU and RAM honestly, ditto itself is pretty lightweight. Try starting with a single vCPU and 1gb of ram + 1.5gb of swap and seeing how that goes. You can always trivially scale up your VPS if it feels slow.
In my opinion, the bigger scalability problem is actually disk space -- the gleasonator database is like 30gb at the moment. metaman, a much smaller instance, is using about 10gb. So I'd keep an eye on your usage.
Feel free to @ me if you have any more questions!

So I've been using time-tracker-cli (https://pypi.org/project/time-tracker-cli/) to track my hours for freelance work. It's great but it has a lot of rough edges, the UX is a bit ugly, it just feels unfinished and incomplete. I have some kludged together shell aliases to handle billing and stuff and the result is not super great but it's ...manageable.
Well I finally had enough and channelled my inner Bender (except I didn't follow up with "ah, screw the whole thing...").
Presenting etu, the cool new time tracker on the block.

doesnt your phone pop up a little toast saying there's so-many hours before your exam?

You can't edit notes unfortunately, I just realised. When I was talking about edits I meant replaceable events on Nostr, which is a concept somewhat analogous to editing.
Ditto has an option to "Delete and re-post", though.

It's much the same, aiui. A rogue relay could just ... not honor your edits or deletions, but people would pretty quickly stop publishing to it if word got out. Much like a rogue Mastodon instance that won't honor deletion requests being defederated.

technically they can be, you just can't be sure other people will respect it :P

this is a test. you may safely ignore this, but if you got it it probably means the test succeeded.
