Just wanted to say thank you for all your hard work and commitment to this server. I love it here, and I appreciate you!
Night and day difference for me, thanks for upgrading!
Huzzah!
Thank you!
Thank you for your continued effort!
I guess that was the downtime overnight? Glad to see an active admin team. Sounds like it's time for me to setup a support subscription. Is there a Patreon account, or similar?
No, wasn't overnight. Not sure what that was about but CPU was at 100% for most of it. That's when I decided to upgrade the resources.
There's a liberapay link in the sidebar if you're so inclined.
The sidebar for the whole instance? I think that's jusy not visible anywhere, in Jerboa. I'll have to look for it at my desktop, later.
You can get to it on Jerboa by tapping the 3 vertical dots in the upper right corner and going to "site info". Either way, this is the link on it: https://liberapay.com/seahorse
Sure enough, there it is.
❤️❤️❤️
it's working much better now, thank you!!
Thank you for all you do.
Thanks very much! Curious what the specs are at this point, if you’re willing to share!
Nothing terribly impressive. 4 vCPUs and 8 GB RAM on a 120 GB ssd.
Boy 120GB doesn't seem like much. Do photo uploads go somewhere else, perhaps?
Yeah there's object storage I use for photos.
What CPUs are they? Like a modern Epyc, or a crusty 20 year old box like some of our appsrvs at work?
I guess it doesn’t need much for essentially database and the base of the website. I always figured it would need more. Any plans on going physical?
Not sure. Whatever digital ocean runs
Thank you!
Just chiming in with another thank you for this as well as everything else you do! The difference is super noticeable, and makes the experience a lot better.
Hi there! first of all thanks for all your work- i love this instance- and second, sorry if this is the wrong place, i literally could not figure out where else to ask- but is it normal that i'm experiencing ~30 second or more load time when trying to access any page on the instance? i don't use an app, just browse thru firefox on my phone. if this is expected, what kinda infrastructure do we need to improve it / where can i donate? if not, what am i doing wrong? i love being here but sometimes the wait time makes it inaccessible for my doomscrolling.
I suggest giving Jerboa a shot, which is the Lemmy android app. I know there are others for iPhone as well.
Strange. I doubled the cpu not long ago. I'll look into it more. Not sure what could be going on. Thanks for reaching out.
