I also have backup accounts on these instances:

The server is overdue for a reboot, I’ll do it late tonight before I go to bed… if I remember 😁
Seconded.
I agree wholeheartedly.
Cloudfront? No. Cloudflare? Yes 😀
Edit: affecting AZ I mean.
The native lemmy web interface works from mobile devices pretty well.
I’m happy for someone to run one, but don’t have time to run it myself.
I tried to get on the 35 recently while in Melbourne. Right from the start of the loop at Waterfront City. It didn’t show for 3 scheduled departures. I phone the information number to ask if it was running, “yes, it will be there in 5 minutes”… “are you sure, its not been here the last two scheduled times?”…" yes absolutely it will be there". Surprise, it didn’t show.
I don’t mind things not running, life happens… but don’t feed bad info to visitors.
I’ve just moved to a Boost annual prepaid plan. I was paying Belong $15 per month, but they’re about to bump the price to $21 per month… making it slightly more than the Boost option, but only on the wholesale network. Cheaper and better coverage? Sign me up!
Hey Dave, yeah I know about the issues with high latency federation. Have been in touch with Nothing4You, but not discussed the batching solution.
Yes losing LW content isn’t great… but I don’t really have the time to invest to implement a work around. I’m confident the lemmy devs will have a solution at some point… hopefully when they do the LW admins upgrade pronto 🙂
The biggest gotcha with 0.19.4, is the required upgrades to postgres and pictrs. Postgres requires a full DB dump, delete, recreate. Pict-rs requires its own backend DB migration, which can take quite a bit of time.
Looks like the doovalacky to turn the hexagonal cap on the handle.
Votes missing from lemmy.world is expected, due to backend federation issues over long distances between servers.
I’ve seen some image issues on Boost too, but not in Sync. So I believe this is a Boost issue. But the image proxying feature is new and may have some bugs also.
It was removed deliberately during the reddit exodus in order to direct new Lemmy users elsewhere. Rather than to overload lemmy.ml further.
Ok, pict-rs had an update yesterday that looks related:
When the same proxy endpoint was accessed more than once concurrently, only one request would end up
succeeding. Now pict-rs better handles when multiple concurrent requests are made.
I’ve updated pict-rs just now, we’ll see how it goes.
Had a quick look at 3… browsing /new I see many thumbnails working, some not. Checking pict-rs I see some errors indicating it wasn’t able to download from the home site… not sure if it correlates, and if they’re genuine issues at the origin or if its a bug on this side. I’ll see if any other admins have seen similar issues.
1 and 2, I have the same… looks like a bug, or possibly uploads that were never submitted?
3 seems hit and miss, will look into it further tonight.
I’ve been nomming down on home made cookies 🤤
I’m locking this post. There has been some good discussion within the comments, but I don’t believe the linked article is in good faith, and the discussion here is heading off the rails.
I disagree. Its deliberately inflammatory and offensive. I only leave the post here as responses such as this one have value.
Not a stupid question at all. If donating will cause you any issues, please don’t 😀.
I’d like to get to a point where I can prepay for the server for a year, as this will lead to a lower overall price. However until server resource requirements stabilize this isn’t possible.
None of the donations will be spent on me or for my personal enrichment. If I ever close aussie.zone down I’d be looking for suggestions on where to donate any surplus funds.
As it stands we’re in a good position and I’m not worried at all. If things do ever become a worry for me, I’ll keep everyone informed.
That took longer than expected… sorry about that.
