Your office sounds awesome.

MinRes aren’t in the CBD, they’re out in Osborne Park.

Plain old reboot. When 0.19.16 is out of beta I’ll upgrade to it. We have enough issues without running pre release versions.

That took longer than expected… sorry about that.

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.

Much huger than intended, but I’m leaving it… made me laugh.

Is that software available for others to use? I’ve been busy lately, but Nath messaged me about this… I was traveling and forgot about it by the time I returned.

I’m open to the idea of setting up an EU VPS to proxy LW traffic temporarily. But the best fix is of course for Lemmy to operate in a way that doesn’t cause this.

As Nath posted, the domain was registered June 8th 2023. Lemmy was set up on the domain that same day.

That’s a year that has flown by…

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.

TPAs?
CF is best for static content such as images, by default that’s almost all it caches. We’ve had some popular images cached and save us terabytes of egress traffic.

Current kitty is enough for the next ~7 months, thanks to some generous larger donations in the last few days. Ongoing monthly contributions currently cover about 50% of the monthly operating costs. Early on monthly donations exceeded monthly costs… leading to the current surplus. Between the surplus, and the existing monthly donations, we won’t hit the red for… 12 months?

Total costs are ~$85AUD per month for the server and object storage. I can cover that myself if needed.

tldr; finances are fine 🙂

Cheers, Phil. Appreciate it.
Seems to be the lemmy backend and its associated Postgres DB.

Yep, thats what it means. What is the swap monster? Seems to be a mix of the lemmy backend and the associated Postgres DB. Its likely the Postgres config is sub optimal and my fault, but honestly given the other issues the lemmy code has had in the past I’m happy to leave the daily restart in place.
