Tenacious iPhone user finally unlocks phone locked for almost a decade in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Ooh an iPhone that's been locked for 50 years, I wonder what iPhones looked like in 1974!

I haven't read this. But I know you can unlock your iPhone using your icloud account.

(Still, happy I switched to android this year)

Yes there is an issue with the Mlym container (old.lemmy.world), we have now stopped it because it also slowed the other alternative UI's. We'll troubleshoot this.

What happened with active users on Lemmy? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It would have been better if they communicated to us first. I don't disagree that user signups should be spread over instances. We now have a link to https://lemmyverse.net on our signup page so people can check if another instance would fit them better.

Let's clarify something: does Bluesky allow federated servers on their network? Is there a list of those independent servers? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (4 children)

I have setup bskysocial.world to test that (there's no web interface, just select this domain when logging in or signing up via the app or https://bsky.app)

Note: This is for testing only, I can't promise it will remain running.

Why isn’t this sub correctly named “’90s Music” in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I think the owner of this (and other decades music) is no longer active. I'll find some other mods for it if he doesn't respond to my message, and I'm sure we can update the title ;-)

Why You Should Self-Host Everything in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 11 points 5 months ago (6 children)

I do host some stuff myself 😉 but there's one thing to keep in mind.

Don't self host stuff that your family still needs after you're gone. Unless they are self host nerds like you. I stopped self hosting our mail and docs for example.

Would you agree?

Hosting a writefreely.org instance in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 6 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I did register writefreely.world planning to host that one day, but I need some more selfhosting nerds to help out running all these instances :-) The foundation is now already running a few dozen Fedi instances :-D

Any chance of lemmy being recognized as an official community? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 0 points 5 months ago

I found this community via their website :-) The link is here: https://proton.me/community under forums.

I deleted pasts posts with personal information in them after at least two users admitted to doxing me in c/[email protected]

You're welcome. And thanks for the interview video, that's cool :-)

[Fixed] Issue with image upload/display (lemmy.world)

Currently we have an images issue. Our Wasabi (S3) account was disabled because of some illegal content that was found, we're working with them to get the account re-enabled and the content removed.

[Update 20240308 14:47 UTC] The issue has been fixed.

[Fixed] Donation platforms for Lemmy.World (mastodon.world)

There's some unrest because the Open Collective Foundation is stopping.

Don't worry, we use Open Collective Europe as a donations platform, they're going nowhere.

We've added some donation platforms, so if you would like to support us running our .world servers, you can do so here:

And for those wanting to donate crypto:

  • Monero address: 83tnuFN4f28jRxTBW9qGDad2U23qNE5nfeW4Pfyd85oWMW7J9gqpXi3S8FDbX5uEeCAKcGnSpS2XT5dGwYiELthg8XuDrxH
  • Cardano address: addr1v9qv6xvfwcx9ny56uag4umu6238sw2e7ff2kcxl3qe7p9esayjxgu

Thank you!

[Edit] Some of the links were broken, they should now all work! [Edit 20240314: Added Liberapay]

I created a Sharkey instance... (sharkey.world)
submitted 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

Next to Mastodon.world and Lemmy.world I am also running Calckey.world. This was running Calckey, a Misskey fork. That was re-branded to FireFish (that's the danger of running sites with the software name in the URL... :-) ).

Unfortunately due to circumstances the FireFish software will no longer be maintained. Therefore I was looking for another Misskey fork that could replace it, and I found Sharkey. This looks really nice.

So being who I am, I registered https://sharkey.world and installed it. It still needs some configuring and branding, but it works and you can use it! (As you will see it currently uses the Calckey.world branding)

I will write a brief how-to on migrating from Calckey to Sharkey and hope the calckey.world users will migrate.

Mastodon.world and Lemmy.world August blog post (blog.mastodon.world)
 

I've written a short blog about what happened in August, and the finances.

2
BookWyrm.world (bookwyrm.world)
 

I did it again.... started another Fediverse service, this time a Bookwyrm instance.

I used Goodreads, but if there's a Federated alternative, why not use that.. So I setup a server and opened registrations.

Enjoy, and please let me know if you find anything that can be improved or changed.

[Fixed] Comments temporarily broken, being worked on (lemmy.world)
submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

There was another attack going on (as you might have noticed). We're working on a fix. In the meantime, we've blocked the listing of comments, so we at least aren't down, but it did break comments.

Hope to have a fix in the next hour. Stay tuned!

Update OK we've implemented a fix, again many thanks to @[email protected] for his assistance. This will prevent the outages we've seen last couple of days. Let's see what they will come up with next...

Lemmy.world stickers! (www.etsy.com)
 

A few days ago I saw some cool JoinLemmy stickers created by @[email protected] . I asked her if she could also create lemmy.world stickers, and she did!

You can see and order them here, also check the other cool stickers in her shop.

Thanks for creating them!

Outage today (2023-07-31) from 02:00 UTC - 05:45 UTC (lemmy.world)
 

Lemmy.world has been down between 02:00 UTC and 05:45 UTC. This was caused by the database spiking to 100% cpu (all 32 cores/64 threads!) due to inefficient queries been fired to the db very often.

I’ve collected the logs and we’ll be checking how to prevent this. (And what caused this)

[Done] Lemmy world was upgraded to 0.18.3 today (2023-07-30) (lemmy.world)
submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

Update The upgrade was done, DB migrations took around 5 minutes. We'll keep an eye out for (new) issues but for now it seems to be OK.

Original message We will upgrade lemmy.world to 0.18.3 today at 20:00 UTC+2 (Check what this isn in your timezone). Expect the site to be down for a few minutes. ""Edit"" I was warned it could be more than a few minutes. The database update might even take 30 minutes or longer.

Release notes for 0.18.3 can be found here: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/blob/main/RELEASES.md

(This is unrelated to the downtimes we experienced lately, those are caused by attacks that we're still looking into mitigating. Sorry for those)
