I’m taking awful.systems down for a bit tomorrow (January 13) around 11 PM GMT because after 16 release candidates and 2 hotfixes, lemmy 0.19.x finally seems like a safe enough upgrade. this is going to be a major one, so I’ll be taking our instance down temporarily to get a database backup before I apply the upgrade. expect exceptional levels of jank!

I seriously am not sure if this was just a joke about how fragile that setup would be, or if "dust spec" is some fundamental Urbit concept I've never heard of before.

i figured urbit on windows would be the torture and it collapsed in the face of its mortal enemy
