We run the database and backend on a ax161 on Hetzner. The media is in Wasabi. The alt uis run on a cloud vps.

Ooh an iPhone that's been locked for 50 years, I wonder what iPhones looked like in 1974!

I haven't read this. But I know you can unlock your iPhone using your icloud account.

(Still, happy I switched to android this year)

It would have been better if they communicated to us first. I don't disagree that user signups should be spread over instances. We now have a link to https://lemmyverse.net on our signup page so people can check if another instance would fit them better.

I have setup bskysocial.world to test that (there's no web interface, just select this domain when logging in or signing up via the app or https://bsky.app)

Note: This is for testing only, I can't promise it will remain running.

Woo-hoo today's my cake-day on Lemmy.world.. actually I'm the first here but many will follow the next days. Happy cake day to you all!

I do host some stuff myself 😉 but there's one thing to keep in mind.

Don't self host stuff that your family still needs after you're gone. Unless they are self host nerds like you. I stopped self hosting our mail and docs for example.

Would you agree?

[–] ruud@lemmy.world 6 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I did register writefreely.world planning to host that one day, but I need some more selfhosting nerds to help out running all these instances :-) The foundation is now already running a few dozen Fedi instances :-D

Well thanks! ;-)

I like Vivaldi, which is Chromium based. I also like Safari for the speed. Difficult to choose between the two. The feature that Vivaldi has and Safari hasn't, which I'm missing in Safari, is tab auto-refresh.

I run a pixelfed and misskey on the same server, and used to run a mastodon besides that. No issues. (I use docker)

[–] ruud@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

Yes. At the NLNet stand.

I did get Lemmy stickers of course

[–] ruud@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

I am there. But will leave soon

Next to Mastodon.world and Lemmy.world I am also running Calckey.world. This was running Calckey, a Misskey fork. That was re-branded to FireFish (that's the danger of running sites with the software name in the URL... :-) ).

Unfortunately due to circumstances the FireFish software will no longer be maintained. Therefore I was looking for another Misskey fork that could replace it, and I found Sharkey. This looks really nice.

So being who I am, I registered https://sharkey.world and installed it. It still needs some configuring and branding, but it works and you can use it! (As you will see it currently uses the Calckey.world branding)

I will write a brief how-to on migrating from Calckey to Sharkey and hope the calckey.world users will migrate.

 

I run a server https://calckey.world , which used to be CalcKey, but the software was re-branded to Firefish. Unfortunately, firefish.world is taken. What domain should I use for my new Firefish instance? Preferably a .world domain.

I have remembered these options suggested to me so far:

  • dartfish.world (a sort of fish similar to the firefish)
  • fedifish.world
  • fire-fish.world
  • f-fish.world

Any other suggestions? Or do you like one of the above?

 

I've written a short blog about what happened in August, and the finances.

 

I did it again.... started another Fediverse service, this time a Bookwyrm instance.

I used Goodreads, but if there's a Federated alternative, why not use that.. So I setup a server and opened registrations.

Enjoy, and please let me know if you find anything that can be improved or changed.

 

There was another attack going on (as you might have noticed). We're working on a fix. In the meantime, we've blocked the listing of comments, so we at least aren't down, but it did break comments.

Hope to have a fix in the next hour. Stay tuned!

Update OK we've implemented a fix, again many thanks to @sunaurus@lemm.ee for his assistance. This will prevent the outages we've seen last couple of days. Let's see what they will come up with next...

 

A few days ago I saw some cool JoinLemmy stickers created by @cheeseblintzes@lemmy.world . I asked her if she could also create lemmy.world stickers, and she did!

You can see and order them here, also check the other cool stickers in her shop.

Thanks for creating them!

 

Lemmy.world has been down between 02:00 UTC and 05:45 UTC. This was caused by the database spiking to 100% cpu (all 32 cores/64 threads!) due to inefficient queries been fired to the db very often.

I’ve collected the logs and we’ll be checking how to prevent this. (And what caused this)

 

Update The upgrade was done, DB migrations took around 5 minutes. We'll keep an eye out for (new) issues but for now it seems to be OK.

Original message We will upgrade lemmy.world to 0.18.3 today at 20:00 UTC+2 (Check what this isn in your timezone). Expect the site to be down for a few minutes. ""Edit"" I was warned it could be more than a few minutes. The database update might even take 30 minutes or longer.

Release notes for 0.18.3 can be found here: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/blob/main/RELEASES.md

(This is unrelated to the downtimes we experienced lately, those are caused by attacks that we're still looking into mitigating. Sorry for those)

 

Today, like the past few days, we have had some downtime. Apparently some script kids are enjoying themselves by targeting our server (and others). Sorry for the inconvenience.

Most of these 'attacks' are targeted at the database, but some are more ddos-like and can be mitigated by using a CDN. Some other Lemmy servers are using Cloudflare, so we know that works. Therefore we have chosen Cloudflare as CDN / DDOS protection platform for now. We will look into other options, but we needed something to be implemented asap.

For the other attacks, we are using them to investigate and implement measures like rate limiting etc.
