live updates in progress. Moved to SSDs, added more cores and 128GB and 64GB ram.

If you're wondering how to donate, like I was-

It is temporary as lemmy.world was cascading duplicates at us and the only way to keep the site up reliably was to temporarily drop them. We're in the process of adding more hardware to increase RAM, CPU cores and disk space. Once that new hardware is in place we can try turning on the firehose. Until then, please patient.

Two things that would be great:

• Have a tanoy/horn announce icon at the top like with Mastodon where status information can be posted.
• Change the heart icon to link to a method that supports the local instance

Attempts were made to create a thread for the almost daily upgrades we're going through with BE and UI changes, but even with pinning it doesn't have the visibility.

We're on site in about 1 hour to install a new RAID and once that is completed we'll finish the transfer of pict-rs data.

If this is true I will be making another account and moving to a different server. The only reason I joined this one was that it doesn't seem to block/defed.

Here is where we're at now.

• increased cores and memory, hopefully we never touch swap again
• dedicated server for pict-rs with its own RAID
• dedicated server for lemmy, postgresql with its own RAID
• lemmy-ui and nginx run on both to handle ui requests

Thank you for everyone who stuck around and helped out, it is appreciated. We're working on additional suggested tweaks from the Lemmy community and hope to let lemmy.world try to DoS us again soon. Hopefully we'll do much better this time.
