minus-squareNoodlez@programming.devlinkfedilinkarrow-up3·1 year agoMm this could be a problem because server load is too unpredictable. I would actually say just randomize the list, so that it kinda does its own “load balancing” by incentivizing to pick whatever random top one it selected?
minus-squareSquare Singer@feddit.delinkfedilinkarrow-up6·edit-21 year agoYeah, whatever metric. Could also use a mix of number of users, some form of reputation measurement, uptime, etc. I mostly meant that the system should pick a “best server” and recommend that. Smarter people than me can come up with the best metric. But swamping the user with >100 servers to pick from is counterproductive.
