So after we've extended the virtual cloud server twice, we're at the max for the current configuration. And with this crazy growth (almost 12k users!!) even now the server is more and more reaching capacity.

Therefore I decided to order a dedicated server. Same one as used for mastodon.world.

So the bad news... we will need some downtime. Hopefully, not too much. I will prepare the new server, copy (rsync) stuff over, stop Lemmy, do last rsync and change the DNS. If all goes well it would take maybe 10 minutes downtime, 30 at most. (With mastodon.world it took 20 minutes, mainly because of a typo :-) )

For those who would like to donate, to cover server costs, you can do so at our OpenCollective or Patreon

Thanks!

Update The server was migrated. It took around 4 minutes downtime. For those who asked, it now uses a dedicated server with a AMD EPYC 7502P 32 Cores "Rome" CPU and 128GB RAM. Should be enough for now.

I will be tuning the database a bit, so that should give some extra seconds of downtime, but just refresh and it's back. After that I'll investigate further to the cause of the slow posting. Thanks @veroxii@lemmy.world for assisting with that.

Redditors made such memes a thing, we're taking them with us where we go.

I will add, joking aside, that Ruud is doing a bloody good job (sorry, I don't know yet how to tag a user).

@rarkgrames@lemmy.world type the @ symbol and first few letters. a drop down menu should appear. it might delay by a few seconds.

Didn't realise you could respond with images on lemmy. Smoother jokes than r***it...

[-] rarkgrames@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Well i just thought Iโ€™d give it a try and it worked. :)

When a volunteer can run a server better then a big tech company

unsurprising pikachu face

[-] GaryPonderosa@lemmy.world 34 points 2 years ago

To be fair the volunteer isn't trying to squeeze value out of the users to inflate his IPO.

Won't somebody think about the corporations!
