after some extended downtime, I rolled out the following changes to our instance:
- pict-rs was migrated to version 0.4 then 0.5. this should hopefully fix an issue where pict-rs kept leaking TCP sockets and exhausting its resources, leading to our image uploads and downloads becoming non-functional. let me know if you run into any issues along those lines!
- NixOS was updated to 24.11.
- the instance's storage was expanded by 100GB. this increased the monthly bill for our instance by €1.78 per month. to keep the bill low, I disabled an automated backup feature that became unnecessary when we started doing Restic backups.
I have one more thing I want to implement before our big Lemmy upgrade; I expect I should be able to fit it in tomorrow. I'll update this thread with details when I start on it.
Ow god you are back. shaking stops just one more f5. One more!
But yes, thanks! Interesting to see the monthly bill listed as well.
if you ever need to, you know you can rattle the tin. if LessWrong can get fucking $2 million ...
