And yet people will plug in a random USB drive they find in the parking lot

Hmm. If only it could all be done client side somehow, like maybe there should be a client side programming language for browsers? How cool would that be?

Because they were the first to be rejected from all the mainstream sites, whereas all the normal people are still on reddit.

Yeah our DB dropped from about 35gb to 8gb!

Shadow, 10 months ago

Yeah I discovered that too. Already been reported here - github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/issues/1999

Shadow, 10 months ago

Wouldn’t be hard to cobble together, but it’s hard to justify the price when the hardware reqs are really minimal.

Shadow, 10 months ago

Please add support to not run as root!

I was going to bring this up on lemmy.ca but haven’t had time to submit a PR to fix the user ID first.

Shadow, 10 months ago

Yes this, thanks!

Basically it’s not hard to break out of docker, I don’t want to run photon as root. If it gets hacked while running as root, it’s game over.

A quick google tells me there were 3 vulns in 2022 allowing it. I’m not sure why you would argue for a horrible security practice under the excuse “it’s not common”. Even if it was only once every few years, the app doesn’t need root so it shouldn’t run as root.

Shadow, 10 months ago

Touche.

Shadow, 10 months ago

I have vague memories around that time of doing it, I think it took 3 days to compile IIRC.

Or maybe I’m thinking of early Gentoo installs…

We seem to be missing about 20gb of our system memory. pastebin.com/teprs4qA

Let me know if you have any ideas. No it’s not cache, and there’s no ZFS on the system =)

Shadow, 10 months ago

Never mind, figured it out. I turned on hugepages without setting it up properly.

Look at all this beautiful free ram.

I have no idea what boost option you’re talking about.

Shadow, 11 months ago

Feel free to make requests if you see useful things that other instances are doing =)

Shadow, 11 months ago

No, each is completely isolated from each other. They’d all have to support some shared SSO, which I can’t see anyone bothering to write TBH.

Shadow, 11 months ago

Don’t thank me so much, it took me 5 minutes to install. The developer deserves all your appreciation since I’m sure it took them way longer.

Shadow, 11 months ago

It’s not something we built, you’ll have to check the project site.

Shadow, 11 months ago

Agreed. I personally think it’s ugly, there’s a reason I don’t own an iPhone

Shadow, 11 months ago

The old interface

Shadow, 10 months ago

No

Shadow, 10 months ago

It might not be.

Shadow, 10 months ago

Done!

Shadow, 10 months ago

Thanks, I’ll add this one too!

Shadow, 10 months ago

Just add it to your docker-compose file, then create a new /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/ vhost that points to the port you expose from docker.

Shadow, 10 months ago

This container currently needs to be run as root, which I’m unwilling to do. I’ll see if I can patch it this weekend and submit a PR to fix it upstream.

Shadow, 11 months ago

Some instances have their own status pages, we have status.lemmy.ca

The outage several instances faced this morning was from github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/3165

Shadow, 11 months ago

OS you mean? Ubuntu server lts

Shadow, 11 months ago

Please go ahead and add lemmy.ca!

Also I don’t think this is correct, shitjustworks just had an extended outage while they were doing config updates.

Shadow, 11 months ago

The original issue is just a symptom of all database threads being tied up. People just don’t know how to follow an error message to the root cause.

The real source of the issue is db locking from triggers and cascading deletes on a major user change.

My report in github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/3649 has the offending query.

Shadow, 11 months ago

Not an attack.

See github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/3649 and github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/3165

I just gave things a quick restart, but that didn’t help. @smorks pointed out that this will be coming in the next release and should hopefully help: github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/3617

Edit: Maybe I just spoke too soon, looks like my hot feed is better now…

Shadow, 10 months ago

We’re still on the same one, but a restart resolved it that time.

Are you seeing this again?

Shadow, 10 months ago

Join the club, I’m just as confused.🤣 There’s active work being done on Github improve it.

Shadow, 11 months ago

Yeah I think this is to be expected, I agree we’ll probably see slower consistent growth from here

Shadow, 10 months ago

I’ve enabled this again now.

Shadow, 11 months ago

Uptime kuma we’d have to self host, and since we only have a single server today I’m not too keen on hosting the status page on the same infra as the site. What’s the point of a status page if it’s possibly down when the site is down?

We’re just on the free plan of better stack, it meets our minimal needs and didn’t take much time to get up.

Open to other alternatives if anyone can suggest any free cloud based ones, I just settled on better stack after trying out a few.

Shadow, 11 months ago

Reply below fyi.

Shadow, 11 months ago

Not easily atm, looks like I’d have to patch the lemmy-ui container.

I’ve been resisting manually patching things until I have more time, but yes I’d like to get support in for a custom error link.

Shadow, 10 months ago

Can I ask for a minor tweak? On a black background the black outline just disappears, maybe toss a white border around the black to give it some definition on dark themes?

Shadow, 10 months ago

Cheers!
