Instance shutdown per 31 Oct 2023 - what's next for /c/fountainpens? (wayfarershaven.eu)
 

I’ve been having trouble keeping this instance up - right now, it’s a problem with proxy errors between the docker containers as well as with the Ansible scripts. It’s taking too much time to maintain. I'll be shutting down wayfarershaven.eu per 31 October 2023.

That means that the fountainpens community here will also disappear. Anyone who would like to restart this on another instance is more than welcome to do so.

Instance will shut down by 31 Oct 2023 (wayfarershaven.eu)

I'll do my best to keep the server up until 31 Oct 2023. After that, it will likely be shut down.

I read before bed but am unsure if I should be using a no back light Kindle or if the Kindle app on my iPhone is ok? Anyone have experience with sleeping quality after reading using either of these? in c/[email protected]

[Meta] Server was down - update (wayfarershaven.eu)

Hey all! My apologies for the fact that the instance has been down. For those who are curious, it turns out that the Lemmy volumes had ballooned and taken up all the space on the server. I've reclaimed the space and set a recurring task to make sure that it automatically gets cleaned up going forward.

This shows the vulnerability of small instances run by a single admin - I wasn't able to sit down and troubleshoot the issue. I don't have a good solution for you beyond recognizing that sometimes things willl take time when there isn't a team or paid business with SLAs. If you have things you'd like to see change, I'm happy to discuss.

Instance back up per 30 Sept (wayfarershaven.eu)
 

Hey all! You may have noticed that Wayfarers' Haven has been down. I noticed, too, but didn't have time to get to it until the weekend.

It turns out that the docker images had become so bloated that there was no longer enough disk space to do anything at all. A simple docker system prune -a --volumes sorted that right out and I'll set a cron job to handle that going forward.

With that said, this simple issue showed the vulnerabilities of an instances with a single admin. I'm sorry for the downtime and confusion. Personally, I'll be creating a backup user on other instances using this tool: https://github.com/CMahaff/lasim

Eating M&Ms by color - it has absolutely no purpose and they're bad for me, but oh so satisfying.

Why not call this board, "supportlemmy"? in c/[email protected]

@[email protected], I'm responding to your DM here.

We don't move posts to the correct community because Lemmy doesn't have that option - and I'd rather you got to choose where your content lands.

As for why we don't reach out and tell people - this is a volunteer job on a big community. We rely on the mod log and allow this kind of meta post to stay up for transparency and discussion. Otherwise, we focus on following the rules laid out so that this community can stay within its intended scope. This is a community for open questions and discussion - not support.

I'm sorry you don't feel welcomed - that's tough. However, communities come with their own rules and mods will make sure they're enforced. I'd recommend checking those rules carefully before posting in the future as that will help the reception of your post.

This is more of a support question, related to using Lemmy. Please see the sidebar for a list of communities that offer support. Removing under rule #3.

What Lemmy Client(s) Do You Use? in c/[email protected]

I access Lemmy through the browser all the time. The experience is solid and consistent across devices and I need access to both mod and (occasionally) admin tools.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

We could - but we're still getting comments here. Why not continue to use this thread and sort by new?

Also - this topic doesn't even really belong in Asklemmy per the rules. If anything, I'm more inclined to unpin it and return to dealing with posts as needed.

How is Lemmy so good and you guys all so awesome? FUCK! in c/[email protected]

It's not just the mods but the admins going to lengths to keep their instances clean. The awfulness outlined in that post means I'm not sure I should keep hosting my own instance.

This looks like it was great fun. Would you take part and if so, which house would you represent?

Update: it's fine to share your thoughts on the author's personal views but please leave the insults at the door.

Personal Item Travel – The Toiletry Kit (ladylighttravel.com)
 

It's interesting to see the breakdown of what she carries - especially the decision to treat her toiletry kit as her junk drawer. I didn't expect to see a clothesline in there!

What unexpected item do you keep in your toiletry bag?
