[Update - March 3rd 2024 , 21:14 CET]

The update seems to have worked well. The database migration took some time, but after that it looks everything works as far as we tested. Let us know what you think! And if you like our work, check the donations links in the sidebar ;-)

(As you might notice, the new comments are shown YELLOW, that's not a bug, it's apparently a new feature in Lemmy...)


Hey everyone,

We wanted to announce that we will be attempting to upgrade Lemmy.World to version 0.19.3 on Sunday. The update will start at 2024-03-03 1900 UTC and should hopefully take no more than 2 hours. In the event there are issues, we will roll back to 0.18.5. In the event of a roll back, any data created by users will be lost, so we'll try our best to avoid this!

Hopefully downtime should be minimal <3

During the upgrade, please feel free to make yourself at home on our Matrix and Discord chat rooms.

Lemmy.World Pub

Please follow Lemmy.World (@[email protected]) - Mastodon for updates.

As usual, status can be tracked by visiting https://dash.lemmy.world and https://status.lemmy.world

Thanks for your patience in waiting for us. Stability is king for us!

Hi, all my bookmarks got totally messed up: I lost some bookmarks and for new bookmarks I never asked for.

This happens for instance on the "Traditional art" Community.

Could you please have a look?

Thanks

see you on the other side

eta: 27 minutes. The end is near!

I'm curious about lemmy.world server upgrades. How do you test something like this? Do you upgrade a private staging server and run scripts that simulate user interaction at scale, or is it more like "fuck it, v.73.9.0.367.12.42.0.9 looks safe enough, just deploy it on production"? I'm trying to think of how you would handle any kind of maintenence for something as massive as lemmy.world, and it makes my brain hurt. Frick.

Best of luck with the upgrade tomorrow, gang!

[–] [email protected] 0 points 9 months ago

We do try it ( if possible ) everything out on our dev instance. The automation and upgrading.

True question: why Sunday? hopefully you’re not in the US. Do this stuff during normal person hours and not during time you should be off.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 9 months ago

I'm assuming this isn't their full time job.

Greatly appreciate the 2FA improvement! I can finally enable it now without locking myself out, which happened every time I tried to enable it previously.

However, in true Fediverse fashion, they've made it 122.6% more complicated than it needs to be. Why contain all of the relevant information in a button pointing to a highly specific protocol? I had to manually copy and paste the button's URL into Notepad++ and cut the parts I needed from it. Why not just give the secret or a QR code like literally every other implementation of 2FA that has ever existed? I've never seen such a button before on any other website when I wanted to switch on 2FA, even on Mastodon they use a QR code and/or the secret key.

And no backup codes? πŸ€”

I sound like a complainy complainer, but I'm genuinely happy/grateful I could enable 2FA. I'm just a n00b who worries about people even n00bier than I am trying to figure it out.

Cheers!

You mean Imma have to get a life for a whole two hours? Maybe even more??

[–] [email protected] 0 points 9 months ago (1 children)

sh.itjust.works Managed to finish in only 27 minutes which was much sooner than the estimated time. Lemmy.world might finish quickly too, estimated time is just a maximum, it isn't always going to be the amount of time it will take.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 9 months ago (2 children)

It will take surely minimum 1 hour for us probably just because the database migrations and moving our automation.

Would you be open to changing who hosts your servers?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Yes narnia, would be perfect place to host server stuff XD

[–] [email protected] 0 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Maybe, but you would be billed about 4.5 years for every month you rent a server

[–] [email protected] 0 points 9 months ago

I guess that makes sense considering just how much bigger Lemmy.world is. Bigger instances are bound to take longer to update.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 9 months ago (3 children)

It's tragic, I have nowhere else to go for that long. And the alternative is to socialize? πŸ˜₯ I'd rather have a third wank.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Create an alt account on another instance.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 9 months ago

But where do you find the material for that?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 9 months ago

You could completely fuck up your sleep schedule so that you're sure to be sleeping during the update.

Would only be a couple extra hours for me since my schedule is already so fucked. I'm considering it.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 9 months ago

I'm looking forward to it. I've actually been cutting back my Lemmy waiting for a the scaled sort. To keep my feed fresh, id been subscribed to mostly memes and I have been getting tired of it. It wiltbe nice to seey niche community getting more love from my feed at last

[–] [email protected] 0 points 9 months ago

Good luck, boss.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 9 months ago

Oooh, excitement! 🀩
