Blåhaj Lemmy will be down for database migration to the new servers in approximately 1.5 hours from now (06:00 UTC).

Downtime is estimated at under an hour.

I will have more details on the maintenance page during the migration and update the status as the migration progresses.

The maintenance has completed and everything is now running from our new database.

Thanks for your patience while we performed this migration.

blobcat, code

blobhaj, heart

Lemmy was running a bit slow on the new database due to too few slots in the pool.

I've increased and seems to be keeping up now.

Too few sluts in the pool, you say? That's awful, let me help!

jumps into the pool

There we go, that should help you out. You're welcome! 😋

(that's legitimately how I misread it at first [probably due to my cognitive issues/learning disabilities lol oops] and I couldn't pass up the perfect opportunity to make a silly, self-deprecating joke. I hope that's okay. I love this instance! 💖🤍💙)

See this is why you should take some time to dry off and read so others can get in.

Thank you Kaity A for all your hard work with this place! It means more than I can put into words! 🩵🩷🤍🩷🩵

You are super welcome, lovely.

It brings Ada and I a whole heap of pleasure running these instances and it's largely knowing that we're making a difference to our users, and providing a safe space for you all to grow and flourish that makes it all worth it for us.

It really is. I don't know where I'd be right now without this place. It's honestly my favorite place on the fediverse. I have other accounts, and intended this to be an alt, but it's turned into my main 😅

Is there a place I might figure out how to do the emojos? I forgot they were a thing.

Thanks!

It looks like it may not be supported yet on Sync for lemmy, which has been my exclusive method of lemmy-ing

For transparency and posterity the maintenance log is here: lemmy-2023-09-03

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

That was seamless

I wish everything I did on my server was this seamless

It seems like every time I touch it it gets new issues lol

Mines also a self hosted thing for self hosted stuff so it's far lower stakes

Can we have a picnic afterwards?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Wait you're not a fellow blahaj! You would be an honored guest at our picnic!

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

Whoooooo friendly picnic!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

🙌 awesome, I'm bringing corn

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Idea for future maintenance page: The Community fire pizza gif but with Blahaj. :P

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Thanks for posting a notice about planned downtime. It's nice to know it wont be because of a denial of service attack.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Cool! Thanks!

So I forgot about the custom enojos, any idea if there's a convenient way to get them for Sync for lemmy?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Best of luck

Server stuff is always nerve wracking in my experience

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Right?! This is a routine thing, it should take 3 minutes with little to no interruptions.

2 hours later

WTF is going on?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Straight up the last time I tried to work on my server with what should have only taken at most an hour or 2, it ended up taking the entire day before I just had to roll it back and call it good enough.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Everything was being slow a while ago but everything's good now I think, good job everyone!
