Hello everyone!

I'll be taking the site down for two maintenance windows this week to complete our server migration.

Weds Jan 29th - 09:00 - 11:00 PT (12:00 - 14:00 ET)
Thurs Jan 30th - 09:00 - 11:00 PT (12:00 - 14:00 ET)

During the first window I'll be migrating us from OVH to our new dedicated hardware. After this migration there will likely be some temporarily broken images, as it takes approximately 8 hours to resync our object storage from OVH.

This is a major change and despite my testing, may have some unintended side effects. If you run into any problems that aren't just a broken image, please let us know.

The second maintenance window is to migrate our pict-rs database from it's local sled-db into our primary postgres DB. This is a much smaller change but since pict-rs checks every image as it goes through them, it takes about 1.5 hours.

As usual, you can check https://status.lemmy.ca/ for updates.

First move complete, went smoothly =)

The broken images and thumbnails should fill in over the next 8-10 hours 🤞

Let me know how performance is for everyone, I expect it to be quite a bit snappier!
