Depends on the weather outside and the insulation in my apartment, since I don't turn the heater on.

Probably around 10-15 C

Successfully upgraded to 0.19.7 (endlesstalk.org)
submitted 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

There was an issue with the database, since the migration somehow took 200GB extra space, which caused the database on one of the server to go down. The database switched over to its replica, so it works now, but there is a period of 30 mins, where some data will have been lost.

Let me know, if there are any other issues.

EDIT: There does seem to be an issue with creating a post. I will look into it.

EDIT2: Fixed.

Upgrading to 0.19.7, since it contains some fixes discovered after 0.19.6 have been released . Release notes here for more information about the bugfixes.

For this upgrade there will be downtime and I expect it to last around 30 min but it all depends on how long the database migrations will take. If there are any major issues with the upgrade, you can check the uptime site here or site status here

Local time can be seen here

Images not loading EDIT: Fixed. Images for last 4 days lost. (endlesstalk.org)

Images aren't loading and I'm not sure what the cause is, after looking into it shortly.

Will look more into, when I have the time.

EDIT: Pictrs db was missing a lots of data. I'm unsure how the data was lost. I have now restored from a backup from 4 days ago(Earlier backups didn't contain data), so images for the last 4 days will be lost.

Moved to new host again. Images for the last 6 days lost. (endlesstalk.org)
 

This should however be the last time for a long time, since I have greatly improved the setup.

Pictrs database got corrupted during the process, which is why the images for the last 6 days are lost.

Let me know, if there are any issues after moving to the new host.

Restoring from backup after database corrupted. (endlesstalk.org)

The database was corrupted, so had to recover from backup. About 6 hours of data was lost.

~~There does seem to be a weird network error sometimes. I'm looking into it.~~ FIXED

Lastly I apologize for all the downtime lately.

Migrated to new host(again). Is a bit slow (endlesstalk.org)

So I had to migrate to a new host again. The response times are a bit slow and spikes sometimes. I'm looking into it.

EDIT: Should be a bit better now, but there are still some spikes in response times, so I will keep looking into it.

Migrated to new host succesfully. (endlesstalk.org)

Endlesstalk has been migrated to a new host.

There did seem to have been some caching issues, causing some certificate issues, but it seems to be fixed(Atleast for me).

Let me know, if there are any issues after the migration

EDIT: The 525 ssl certificate error shows up intermittently. I'm looking into it.

EDIT2: Fixed. Was an issue with the nginx loadbalancer.

Downtime caused by server going down. Migration to new host tommorow at EDIT: 20:00 UTC (endlesstalk.org)
submitted 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

Earlier today one of the servers, where endlesstalk is hosted went down. After some time, the server came back up again, but there were some unknown issue and the server was unstable. So preparation to migrating endlesstalk to a new host began. However after setting the new servers up, there was success with getting one of the "old" servers up and running again.

Tommorow at ~~18:00~~ 20:00 UTC the migration to the new host will begin. See local time here. There will be some downtime with this, probably around an hour or less.

EDIT: Server went down again, but should be back again now.

EDIT2: 20:00 UTC, since I forgot I have something from 17-19 UTC.

Successfully upgraded to 0.19.5 (endlesstalk.org)
 

The upgrade went smoothly and everything seems to work.

Let me know, if there is anything that dosn't work after the upgrade.

Upgrading to 0.19.5 on 22th June at 13:00 UTC (endlesstalk.org)
 

I have found the issue with the database migration, so the upgrade to the latest version of lemmy can proceed.

0.19.5 brings a lot of smaller bugfixes. See release notes here for more information. I will also upgrade the database to a newer version(postgres 16).

For this upgrade there will be downtime and I expect it to last around 1 hour or less. If there are any major issues with the upgrade, you can check the uptime site here or site status here

Upgrading to 0.19.4 postponed. (endlesstalk.org)
 

The database migration to 0.19.4 failed, because the database schema doesn't align with the state the migrations want. The reason is probably because it didn't restore correctly from a previous backup, but I don't actually know the cause.

I thought I could create a new database with a correct schema and then import the data from the currrent database into the new one. This might still be possible, but it simply takes too long and it has gotten too late for me(03:00 in the night).

I will look into a fix for the migration and when I have a fix I will announce a new date for the upgrade to 0.19.4.

Lemmy, what's your internet speed in mbps? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

1000 down and 100 up for ca 40 euro a month

Any service cheaper than Backblaze? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

For s3 iDrive e2 is cheaper. It costs 4$ per month, if you pay monthly and down to ca 3$, if you pay yearly.

The egress policy is mostly the same as backblaze. You get 3 times the storage you pay for. With backblaze you get 3 times the average amount of data you have stored.

[RESOLVED] Endlesstalk sends every activity twice? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

I restarted the federation containers and my test site now only receives 1 activity, when I upvote something. Before I received 2 activity requests, where nginx returned 400 for the first request and then 200 for the second request.

Is it fixed for now for you as well @[email protected]?

[RESOLVED] Endlesstalk sends every activity twice? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

For federation I run 3 containers as lemmy.ca seems to do, however the indexes are set to the correctly value. So that doesn't seem to be the cause, as it has been for lemmy.ca

I run 2 lemmy-ui and backend containers, so maybe that has something do with it? I run a test site, so I will look into it and see if I can figure out the issue.

Thanks for notifying me of the issue :)

Is lemmy.ml down for y'all? in c/[email protected]

Down for me as well

I really enjoy boost.

How do you manage your photos and videos? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (3 children)

I selfhost PhotoPrism.

I use a folder sync app, to upload all my pictures from my phone to a directory on my server, which PhotoPrism imports from every 15 mins(Might be a bit more or less).

I have used it for a couple of years and it has worked fine for me.

This still baffles me, but I guess it's good for federation? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Thank you for clarifying(and sorry for the late answer).

For you (and anyone interested) I will answer the questions you asked.

Are you going to close upon any legal threat, or only upon a certain degree or size of threat?

If the legal threat is real(they have a real chance to win in a court) and there is nothing I could do(come to an agreement, move the hosting to another server etc), then I would close the server.

From the US only, or from any country?

Server is hosted in Germany

Will you close instantly, or will you guarantee a Minimum Survivability Timeframe for eg.: helping users to migrate away, like Mastodon’s covenant does?

As long as there aren't fines for keeping the website up or I get arrested, I would give a notice, so users can move to another server.

Lemmy.world does a great job(with a little downtime) and it is the same software we are hosting, so I can only see a couple of ways to make a better "offering"

  1. Better uptime as you mentioned
  2. Different deferation/moderation policy.
  3. Visual customizations(eg. different theme)

I try to provide a better uptime and a different deferation/moderation policy. I don't have the skills to make visual customizations, but I have added multiple frontends(like lemmy.world).

I'm open to suggestions/ideas if there is anything else that could be done to improve the "offering".

Looking for lemmy.world alternative. in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

In Germany on a hetzner dedicated server.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (6 children)

As an alternative to lemmy.world I would like to suggest my own instance endlesstalk.org.

I have no plans to deferate or ban anything releated to piracy. Only thing that might change my mind would probably be a company taking legal action against me.

I also strive to have as little downtime as possible and keep everything running smoothly.
