I've been binging The X-Files with a friend, half way through season 2 and it still holds up.
Are you using sync? If so, It's a sync bug. Open the post and then click the image from there.
Yep you look great. Go and own the interview!
If I'm running the meeting, 5 minutes. If it's large group meeting, 2 mins early. If it's 1:1, right on time.
A few of us are, but more importantly I am and I wrote it 😁
Morning all!
I'm going to be taking the site down for about 5 minutes, so that I can get a consistent copy of our databases (postgres + pict-rs sled).
Will do it at about 10am PST.
Depends on the country from / to, but unfortunately yeah it's usually way easier to just gift them.
I bet it's a ton of fun to drive. A friend had a recumbent trike with a beefy ebike motor on it, was a total blast to drift it around trails.
I recently went mint on my laptop for the first time in years, and it's been great.
That being said, I'm now looking at switching to endeavoros instead to give me more desktop environment options. Maybe check that out?
Expect a post with details sometime in the next few weeks, once I stop procrastinating and start deploying things =)
They have a nice status page where you can see how many servers are down in a rack, I think that was a mis-comm between the tech + support since it only showed 1-2 down. No way a whole rack pdu failure should be down for that long.
Yep, planning on it. It looks like we should qualify for one free month, which would be nice to make our migration a little easier.
Hey everyone, and happy new year!
Sorry about that super long downtime there. Yesterday (Sunday) morning at 10:03AM PST our server suffered a physical hardware failure, apparently a power supply failure. Unfortunately despite opening a ticket with our hosting vendor (OVH) a few minutes later and them claiming to have 24/7 support, nobody looked at our ticket until this morning when their phone support lines opened and I called them.
They've now replaced a defective power supply and we're back online, after ~26 hours of being offline. Some pretty disappointing response times, to put it nicely.
We're planning to move away from OVH at the end of this month, onto proper enterprise grade hardware that we own and control. This will give us a HUGE boost in server resources and allow us to scale for the foreseeable future, while also giving us the control to resolve problems like this much quicker. Expect another follow up post about this in the next couple weeks once I've put together the migration plan.
Timeline:
- Jan 5th 10:03am PST - We get alerts to the server being non-responsive.
- Jan 5th 10:05am PST - I pull up the console via IPMI and it's completely non-responsive. Attempting to power off / on the server or do anything, does not work.
- Jan 5th 10:15am PST - Initial support ticket created with OVH. I followed up a couple times over the next few hours, and got no response.
- Jan 6th 6:32am PST - Called OVH, gave them the case number and asked them to investigate
- Jan 6th 7:34am PST - I get notified they'll start their "intervention" in 15 minutes.
- Jan 6th 11:04am PST - Call them again, the tech is still working on it and they'll get back to me with an update
- Jan 6th 11:34am PST - "I was informed by our data centre technician that there is an issue with the power supply unit for the rack on which your server resides. Your server will come back online once they have replaced the power supply."
- Jan 6th 12:17pm PST - We're back up finally!
Edit on Jan 7th @ 8:40am PST: We just had another outage of about an hour. Investigating with OVH.
One of the drives in our server has failed. =( Even though it should be a 10 minute job OVH needs a 2 hour window to replace it.
I've requested they schedule it for Tuesday from 8am - 10AM PST. Hopefully it'll be reasonably quick, but expect cloudflare tunnel errors while they perform the work.
Hey All!
I'm going to upgrade us to 0.19.7 tomorrow (Sunday Nov 24th) around 10am PST. I don't expect significant downtime, but expect a few minutes at least.
Update: All done!

I've been messing around with circuits my entire life but this design was time sensitive and I've never done my own PCB designs before, so I hired someone to put this together. After getting some test boards, when I plug them in the charger chip gets very hot and smells like burning....
Circuit is just a simple li-ion usb charger and a switch. I've gone through the datasheet for the bq25302 more times than I can count and I'm missing something obvious here. Using it just for delivering power seems to work fine, the problem is only when charging.
I do see R6 + R7 off TS don't have the recommended 10k values, but I don't feel like that would cause what I'm seeing. This is being connected to a 21700 lipo.
Someone mind lending me their eyes please?

Recently I was asked if we'd be willing to reconsider federation with Hexbear, followed by CARCOSA reaching out to me to see if it was something we'd be open to.
They made a post asking if their community was interested in refederating with us, similarly I'd like the opinion of our local users.
Why refederate?
Hexbear has a decent number of sizable active communities:
- https://hexbear.net/c/games
- https://hexbear.net/c/technology
- https://hexbear.net/c/movies
- https://hexbear.net/c/food
- https://hexbear.net/c/vegan
These all seem fairly well moderated, giving us access to more diverse posts and viewpoints. A lot of our feed right now is dominated by US centric communities, and it'd be nice to get some more variety.
Why not?
They love trolling and I don't expect them to follow our rules when commenting (primarily "be civil").
Just looking at their thread about us, there's a significant number of immature replies slandering us / Canada. I'm not confident their users will engage in actual discussion in our threads, rather than just showing up to throw out insults and memes.
We can try to handle this by banning users / blocking specific communities, but that's going to increase moderation workload for both admins and mods. Hexbear is self admittedly quick to ban users on their side, but they also don't mind ban evasion - not ideal for us.
So what's next?
This is where we solicit your opinions, how does our community feel?
Edit: Well, it looks like the community is overwhelmingly against refederation. Decision made, thanks everyone for your feedback!
Sometimes I want to find a post I viewed a while ago. I can hide read posts, but is there any way to view read posts?
I can't find anything in any menus.
The bees love my garden but I'd never noticed these orange things on any of them before. I thought it might be a parasite but nope!

Hi everyone,
We'll be undergoing maintenance on Saturday morning from about 11am - noon PST.
We've been having some stability issues over the past few days that I've tracked down to database performance, so I'll be doing some tuning and also applying all our needed system updates at the same time.
Cheers!
Update: This is all done now!
Sorry for the brief bits of downtime here and there, I snuck in a quick upgrade of us to the latest lemmy 0.19.4 now that a few bugs have been patched out.
More details here! https://join-lemmy.org/news/2024-06-07_-Lemmy_Release_v0.19.4-_Image_Proxying_and_Federation_improvements
I'm in the process of upgrading us to the latest 0.19.4 release.

You might see some brief downtime during the next hour or so, pictrs is currently upgrading its database.
Edit: Holding off on lemmy as Blaze was nice enough to flag some new bugs - https://lemmy.ca/comment/9660430
Edit: Pictrs upgrading taking longer than expected after the migration crashed, hopefully wrapped up soon!
Finally Done! We're all ready for the new lemmy version now, maybe once a patch release comes out.
Two men from Metro Vancouver are facing more than a dozen charges each after police recovered 29 stolen vehicles, many of them found in shipping containers at British Columbia ports.
