Well I’m the owner of lemmy.world, and I’m Dutch. But still I know what Thanksgiving is, and many users are from the US, so why not?

But I do agree we should also feature days like the Trans day of Remembrance. Maybe we could create a community-created list of special days?

OK, the pictrs database upgrade is taking it’s time… please wait… ;-)

It’s building a 0.4 database, which is already twice as big as the 0.3 one

ruud,
@ruud@lemmy.world avatar

It’s grown from 3.1 GB to over 8GB and still running…

ruud,
@ruud@lemmy.world avatar

That’s not the pictures… The picture take up 1.2 TB… it’s just the database with the metadata about the pictures. (11.8 GB now…)

@ruud@lemmy.world avatar

Don’t tell them about the feetish

ruud,
@ruud@lemmy.world avatar

The people that donate to lemmy.world

ruud,
@ruud@lemmy.world avatar

But it’s not in S3 yet. Still on disk.

ruud,
@ruud@lemmy.world avatar

1.2 TB for pictures and 100GB for Postgres

Too bad fire.fish is also gone…

ruud,
@ruud@lemmy.world avatar

Ooh… I have that on CD… brings back memories

ruud,
@ruud@lemmy.world avatar

No, not yet…

ruud,
@ruud@lemmy.world avatar

That’s a good idea. I’ll do that

I’m 50. But my kids of 9 and 10 are also on the server.

I just setup a matrix server at lemmy.world, so just register an account on that if you like ;-)

ruud,
@ruud@lemmy.world avatar

Well .world is also managed partly from NL :-)

When I turned 50 this year…

@ruud@lemmy.world avatar

What did mastodon.world do poorly?

ruud,
@ruud@lemmy.world avatar

Ah OK. Yeah lemmy had a big growth past months. Mastodons growth is mostly absorbed by .social

ruud,
@ruud@lemmy.world avatar

Yes, that’s the plan. But determining which instances are suitable isn’t easy… I’ll ask them what’s the status on this.

ruud,
@ruud@lemmy.world avatar

I will check

ruud,
@ruud@lemmy.world avatar

I will contact the admin. I see we are sending activities to d.o, but haven’t received any since Jul 30th

ruud,
@ruud@lemmy.world avatar

It should get the image from the URL.

Tekchip, to support
@Tekchip@mastodon.social avatar

@support I think I somehow botched my 2FA setup. I don't have a code. I don't suppose there's a way to recover an account with only username and password? https://lemmy.world/u/Tekchip same username and Avatar as I have here if that counts for anything.

ruud,
@ruud@lemmy.world avatar

Could you mail [email protected] from the mail address used for the account? Thanks!

ruud,
@ruud@lemmy.world avatar

Anything that the family uses. Because when I cease to exist, my wife isn’t gonna take over self-hosting! So e-mail, chat, documents etc.

ruud,
@ruud@lemmy.world avatar

I hadn’t either until a few years ago. It’s something worth considering.

ruud,
@ruud@lemmy.world avatar

I’ll check the new way Lemmy detects dead servers, it’s possible an outage caused lemmy.ml to think we’re dead (we’re not!) :-)

ruud,
@ruud@lemmy.world avatar

Ohh sorry to hear that. RIP

ruud,

@nutomic contacted me about an issue with federation, seems we blocked an IP too many in our attempt to block malicious requests… I’ve removed that block and federation works again. Sorry about the inconvenience.

ruud,
@ruud@lemmy.world avatar

Either post here or mail to [email protected], and if it’s really urgent you could try to reach me via Matrix @ruud:h-y-p-e-r.space. Also for Moderators there’s the Discord channel if you’re interested

ruud,

I really like Joplin

@ruud@lemmy.world avatar

Ooh… Silverbullet looks really useful!! Just installed, need to figure out what I can do, looks like a lot of functionality!

Lemmy.world: why not focus on stability instead of growth?

This instance happens ti be down quite often. Why do the admin doesn’t close the subscription and focus to keep the instance stable? It’s not like there will be blocked outside Lemmy, there ar plenty of instances out there. From outside (and IMHO) it seems a power hungry needs (sorry,bI don’t know if this does make sense...

ruud,
@ruud@lemmy.world avatar

The downtime is not related to user growth. We do however plan to change our registration page, so it will refer to other instances and explain Federation in short. New users will be advised to choose other instances but will still have the option to sign-up here if they would like.

But all the troubleshooting these downtimes hasn’t left a lot of time to work on this…

ruud,
@ruud@lemmy.world avatar

No problem, it’s good to ask those questions. Sometimes we also learn from them. The outages of last days were because of database queries that took very long, which were fired many times. This is being looked into.
