Maintenance complete! (lemmy.frozeninferno.xyz)
 

All of the primary Lemmy services have been updated as part of this maintenance.

PosgreSQL database: 15 -> 16
pict-rs image repository: 0.4 -> 0.5
Lemmy: 0.19.3 -> 0.19.5

Also, as part of the migration, the pict-rs image repository's backend has been migrated from its internal sled-repo database to the shared PostgreSQL database, which will simplify backup and recovery in the future.

Please report any issues on this post or a new post in [email protected].

Thanks for your patience as we work to improve your Lemmy experience.

 

We'll be taking the instance down for maintenance at 4PM UTC on Saturday 9 August. Use this to convert to your local time.

The instance will be upgraded to Lemmy 0.19.5, which requires upgrading several other services Lemmy relies on.

The maintenance window will be 5 hours

Just now seeing this, sorry.

I'm not sure why the instance would struggle with this, it's running on a modern i7 with plenty of RAM and an NVMe solid state drive.

The only thing I can think of is that Lemmy's blocklist import functionality is incredibly unoptimized. I would suggest breaking the blocklist up into smaller chunks and trying to import them individually, if you can.

Apologies! The host machine was having networking issues early this morning. Everything should be resolved now, and the federation queue should be catching up. This may take some time, given I'm not entirely sure how long the issues were happening. I'm going to be keeping a closer eye on things for the next day or so.

Again, apologies for the inconvenience.

IIRC, Samsung recently announced they're moving to A/B partitioning as well.

The Twitter thread says that the website with the linked keys is a fake imposter site. Not sure how true that is, but if so, that's fucked.

Honestly, it's probably not worth the hassle to try to install system apps elsewhere. Steam and Lutris, on the other hand, can put games on any mounted drive. Install them as normal, and then in Steam, set up a steam library in /Apps. In Lutris, you should have the option to choose where each game is installed each time you install one.

 

We ran into some unexpected issues upgrading the instance to the latest Lemmy version, and troubleshooting was starting to take too long and extend past the previously given maintenance window. As such, we decided to restore from backup and attempt the upgrade again another day, next time with a larger maintenance window.

Everything should be back as it was before the downtime. The next maintenance will be announced soon.

Thanks for your patience!

Correct. Unfortunately, it's something that each desktop environment or window manager has to implement themselves. But all the button is doing is moving some config files around, so you can probably do some digging to figure out what it's copying to where.

This is the system settings application for the KDE desktop environment.

Literally yes. And you don't even need to know the exact pixel resolution of the TV.

Edit: Here are the problems with you "Wayland isn't good enough" people.

First, you don't use Wayland, so you don't even know if it's fixed whatever weird issue you encountered with it before or if it supports a niche use case, for example.

Second, Wayland won't get good enough for you until you start using it and reporting bugs. You think X11 was a bed of roses when it first started? Or do you think they bumped the version number 11 times for fun?

Not sure if you're a troll, but if you're serious, nothing I say is going to change your mind, so I won't bother.

If you're using Wayland, you can go to Settings -> Colors & Themes -> Login Screen (SDDM) and click "Apply Plasma Settings..."

If you're using X11, it looks like you'll have to resort to hacky scripts, unfortunately.

Same! Senior dev here with both dyscalculia and dysgraphia. Numbers literally transpose for me, for example when I'm filling out a restaurant receipt and calculating tip+total. It's wild.

I'm curious, my playthroughs of both the original and the remake were so long ago - but does D-pad movement buy the player anything? I agree it's rather silly that it's not an option, but I don't remember being hampered by the control scheme in any way.

 

I found MoonDeck while perusing the Decky plugin store and it's absolutely awesome. I've had Moonlight and Sunshine set up for a while because Steam streaming is very inconsistent between Deck and Linux, but I didn't use it often because it's a pain setting up launchers in Sunshine for each individual game. MoonDeck takes the hassle out of that completely, and I find myself streaming GPU-intensive games to my living room much more often nowadays.

I highly recommend it!

 

I was looking through various RCON tools and found this. Someone does not like commit messages.

 

Also, the location on the LinkedIn job listing was a city nearby, even though I'm over 300 miles from SF. Fuckin' dumb.

Maintenance complete! (lemmy.frozeninferno.xyz)
 

The storage backend for the instance has been upgraded, which means the instance should be faster by quite a bit. It also enables a few new data resiliency features, which is pretty cool. Hopefully we don't need them, but better safe than sorry!

Please report any issues on this post or a new post in [email protected].

Thanks for your patience as we work to improve your Lemmy experience.

 

We'll be taking the instance down for maintenance at 6PM UTC on Friday, 22 Dec. Use this to convert to your local time.

This maintenance is due to a much-needed storage upgrade, which will hopefully speed up the instance quite a bit. The maintenance window will be 3 hours to account for full system backup and restore, but I'm hoping we'll be done quicker than that.

Now running Lemmy 0.19 (lemmy.frozeninferno.xyz)
submitted 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]
 

We are now running Lemmy 0.19! There were a lot of cool changes in this release, definitely check out the release notes if you're interested in the specifics.

The important ones for users are:

  1. Improved Post Ranking - Scaled sort! This is similar to Reddit's Hot sort, that is, ranking is based on the proportion of votes to active users, not just votes. This will greatly improve visibility for small communities, which is great!

  2. Instance Blocking for Users - Users can now block entire instances themselves. If there's an instance you personally dislike but doesn't technically break our instance rules, you're now free to block it yourself.

  3. Two Factor Rework - Enabling 2FA is now a two-step process, so it's harder to lock yourself out.

There may be breakage depending on what Lemmy client you use, so be sure your client supports the breaking changes in 0.19.

Accurate? (lemmy.frozeninferno.xyz)
 
 

In the interest of transparency, we're announcing the implementation of defed list synchronization from Fediseer.

Fediseer is a community of fediverse instances that work together to crowdsource classification of both safe and harmful fediverse instances. This instance has just recently been "guaranteed", which means a member of the Fediseer community has sponsored us to join them. You can see details of our Fediseer presence here.

This enables a couple of things.

  • This instance's admins can now guarantee, endorse, or censure other instances.
  • We can implement block list synchronization with our endorsed instances.
  • Block list synchronization can be filtered by tags.

Given this instance's stance towards censorship, we've been hesitant to implement block list synchronization, as we don't want to block an instance prematurely. However, given the recent influx of loli / pedo content creeping in, we feel it's in the best interest of this instance to at least synchronize blocking by loli and pedo tags.

So going forward, we will sync block lists with our endorsed instances' block lists filtered by loli and pedo tags. We'll also include spam tags, since there's been an influx of that, too.

As always, comments and questions welcome.
