Update schedule? (self.feddituk)

Curious if there is a specific update schedule when the site goes down for maintenance/when the latest releases are loaded or if it's ad-hoc?

Do you know if this is a single admin instance?

I don't know the answer to that.

I’ve noticed some issues gong back a month or so and @tom@feddit.uk hasn’t posted in over 2 weeks.

Technically, as long as he keeps the lights on and installs updates then he doesn't have to post much.

Very true! But I know first hand how easily life can get in the way and things like servers are amongst the first things forgotten.

Without a secondary admin things can go south quickly, so an active admin can be reassuring.

To be honest, admin reliability is pretty much a deciding factor which instances to choose.

Thanks though!

Understandable and I'd be interested in an answer to your question. I'd hate to get invested here only for it to disappear overnight.

Yeh it is a single admin instance, I'm going to look to add a few more admins this week as we really should have more than one

Thanks for the information.

It's a good idea because life happens (I had a friend who woke up in hospital with a fractured skull caused by eating lasagne), so I am trying to get two mods on the various communities I've started, which is hardly mission critical like the instance.

Now that sounds like story...

[–] Emperor 2 points 1 year ago

That is pretty much the story.

As best as he can piece together he was sorting out the evening meal and, classic dad move, was eating while dishing everything out. Took a bite of his lasagne (notoriously the hottest of all the Italian foods), fainted, banged his head on the kitchen tiles and woke up later on in hospital with a fractured skull.

The moral of the story is: lasagne can kill.
