Thanks for getting into the specifics!

No, it's not just EU. Proton mail is the first one I saw, haven't checked for others.

Can teleport anything? An atom, perhaps?

It appears Trump is going to be the next president of US. I'm not sure such a thread is needed in the first place, but here goes.

Feeling anxious? Desperate? Got the expected result?

What do you think went wrong? What do you think went right? What do you think the future holds?

I'm actually surprised it's not more. I alone have contributed at least 2 disappearances!

Thanks for the feedback!

I might have to. Feels weird advertising it, though. Maybe it's just all in my head

Maybe, but then I'm not aiming for generic sysadmin. I was hoping to get true graybeards to share their experience(s). It'll get there, I think, but it will take a lot more than just a few tens of thousands of users to get enough people from the crowd.

Trying to make !graybeard@lemmy.cafe a thing, but so far allbymyself.gif. Was sort of looking to have it as a sysadminy discussion thing, but lemmy is too small for it, yet, so it's just a bunch of links to The Register, Drew DeVault and a couple others.

I had never read the actual story! Very interesting language :)

Leaving a builder account enabled after build has completed is a fairly big oversight.

Maintenance Complete (lemmy.cafe)
 

Everything went through smoothly, but please do report if you notice anything.

[Maintenance] 13 October, Sunday, 12:00 UTC (lemmy.cafe)
 

Lemmy Cafe will be having its database upgraded.

Reasons

  • PostgreSQL 17 has been released and the changelog is promising a lot of IO improvements. Lemmy sure could use it given the constant stream of small events flowing in.

Plan

  • Point nginx to the maintenance page
  • Shut down PostgreSQL 16
  • Run the upgrade tool
  • Start up PostgreSQL 17
  • Point nginx to lemmy

Expected downtime

About an hour, if things go well. More if not so.

Will try to keep the maintenance page updated.

Admittedly, I have a fairly serious bias against Microsoft, so it's unlikely they'll every say much I can trust; but I am genuinely surprised their marketing department didn't even bother coming up with another name to try selling this atrocity.

Lemmy.Cafe Housekeeping (lemmy.cafe)

Due to the recent @Soup's post I have decided to do some housekeeping. I've been getting frustrated at lemmy's performance at times as well and this simply was a wake up call, if you will.

I am sorry about no advance downtime annoucement - Sunday is the only day I can really put any meaningful amount of time into lemmy.

Things done today:

  • Upgraded database VM 1 core 2GB -> 2 cores 4GB. Double the compute, double the memory.
  • Adjusted database config to account for increased resources
  • Adjusted hugepages config to account for increased database's requests
  • Updated both lemmy and database VMs
  • Rebooted the lot

Thank you for your patience. I will also use this moment of focus to write up a financial report in a separate post.

Also, thank you, @Soup!

EDIT: I've also marked all instances known to lemmy.cafe as active. What this means is that lemmy.cafe will now keep retrying to federate to everything very aggressively. This is a compute-intensive process and will also impact performance for a few hours, until exponential backoff kicks in. I've done it to revive any falsely-marked-as-dead instances; there's no fix for it on lemmy itself.
