Upgrade is complete in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

Upgrading is always a nightmare but once its done generally lemmy improves bit by bit :)

Upgrade is complete (lemmy.myserv.one)
 

Upgrade did actually complete. pictrs had some issues but I think I fixed them (hopefully).

Any issues let me know.

Upcoming downtime (lemmy.myserv.one)
 

Lemmy once again needs upgrading. This time all components - pictrs, postgres and lemmy itself. This will mean that at least 1 of these (fragile) things will almost certainly break and leave the server down for some time. I will be investigating how best to unbreak the server over the next couple of weeks and post when we intend to do the update that inevitably will destroy the server in some way. If you use the server daily you may wish to create a secondary account so that you are not too disrupted when the update happens. Unfortunately upgrading lemmy is not as easy as one might hope so I cant tell you exactly what will happen ahead of time. I will post again when we have a general idea what to do with an intended date.

Downtime 26-27 May 2024 in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago

Just to let you have an update, we are caught up with all instances except lemmy.world which is still 3 days behind. You can monitor or track the federation progress here: https://grafana.lem.rocks/d/bdid38k9p0t1cf/federation-health-single-instance-overview?orgId=1&var-instance=lemmy.world&var-remote_instance=lemmy.myserv.one&from=now-12h&to=now

[QUESTION] How do instances that use platforms such as Lemmy send verification, password reset, etc. e-mails? Do they use SMTP or some external service that provides an API? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 8 points 5 months ago

Either a local SMTP server (less used) or an external service (more common). The SMTP is configurable but I believe most used option is ssl smtp over port 587.

Federation is returning to normal and should be working again fully by tomorrow. There is some catch up to do.

Thank you, I am busy looking at the federation issue right now and hope to resolve it soon. This instance is just a single server so if its turned off then the impact is total, but in terms of the datacentre the entire site was down and power was slowly restored to parts of it and is still ongoing, we are luckily back online but some parts are still down and damaged. The site is 1515 round table drive Dallas TX.

I also purged the post you reported.

Downtime 26-27 May 2024 (lemmy.myserv.one)
 

Hi there,

Unfortunately the site was down for about 2 days over the 26-27 May this month.

This was due to the datacentre we use being affected by a storm/tornado: (https://apnews.com/article/tornadoes-weather-texas-oklahoma-93001e1d81f120d0d55c8dfa24938250) which took out power to the facility for just under 2 days. At no time was there any risk of loss to the server due to off site backups, however we did have to wait for the centre to come back online.

While this server is run extremely cheaply, at just $20 USD per month (approx) which includes paying for the compute, domain, email, and off site backup as well as object storage, it does mean that there is not redundancy when a site wide outage occurs. The low cost means that there is no risk of this server ever being unable to meet its costs and be paid for, but it does mean we sometimes can have an outage if a major event happens such as what happened and a delay before being brought back online.

The decision for this was because this server is designed to help reduce load on the rest of the fediverse and does not store much local content so a couple days a year the server is out was deemed acceptable during the design phase.

If you have any questions or comments feel free to post and I will try my best to answer them :)

I mean so is control d a set and forget. Even more so because they manage any changes and workarounds the companies come up with. Its basically designed for this. Having tried both options its my preferred option.

Set your country to Albania, Moldova, or Myanmar and you wont get ads on youtube.

Yes I do use opnsense and it was more annoying than control d. I tried both options.

Just an apology for downtime (lemmy.myserv.one)
 

Just want to give everyone an apology for the downtime last few days. Its unfortunate that we were down around 18 - 20 hours in total and rest assured I have made improvements based in what happened to reduce this going forward. Its been 24h now since the upgrade to 0.19.1 and everything has remained stable so far.

Hopefully thats the end of it. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you all :)

Today on 27 October 2023 lemmy.myserv.one reached 98.5% uptime. We are also in the top 700 most reliable lemmy servers now as measured by this site: https://lemmy.fediverse.observer/list

Next goal is top 500 servers and/or 99.5% uptime.

Thanks everyone:)

Reminder in light of recent events for members here to always conduct themselves appropriately on other instances and not make racist comments towards any race. Keep opinions clean, factual and constructive and be dignified in your responses.

I would prefer not to have to act on other admins reports that members from this server have been acting inappropriately.

Many thanks in advance for your considered and exemplary behaviour.
