Our best haj, Shonky (they/them) is available now, over at their own Github repository for use when referring to Blåhaj Lemmy.

I’m guessing we’ll need them to make an appearance for the Canvas template.

So this was at the very start of the s02e10 episode - “Pegasus”.

Not that I am aware of, and not that it’s not possible, but the protocols are quite different, the Lemmy API, the Misskey API (with various dialects for Sharkey, Iceshrimp and Firefish) and the Mastodon API (with Akkoma, Pleroma, etc) are all very different from each other and even making a third party UI that completely understands and implements a single API / dialect is an enormous undertaking.

Wow, okay that’s weird. It’s doing it for me too, must be some debugging option

I’ve been using alexandrite and haven’t noticed.

I’ll take a look tonight.

For a desktop client, it actually works pretty nice on mobile too.

okay, i’ll take a look… probably something to do with the media proxy or the pictrs config.

Yeah, you just need to login again and put in your totp code this time. Kinda annoying that it doesn’t provide a field for your totp code on the first page.

Test

So I’ve completed migration of the pict-rs server to our new infrastructure. I’m not sure what the issue was you were having, as I am unable to replicate.

Based on the father ambiguous error message, I presume it was returning a “Request timed out” or something.

Anyhow, after the migration, I’d be interested if you still see errors. Let me know.

Migration has been completed!

Fixed!

Okay, the new media cache server was locked up. Fixed the code and redeployed it. Images should come good after a page reload.

For transparency and posterity the maintenance log is here: lemmy-2023-09-03

Lemmy was running a bit slow on the new database due to too few slots in the pool.

I’ve increased and seems to be keeping up now.

The maintenance has completed and everything is now running from our new database.

Thanks for your patience while we performed this migration.

You are super welcome, lovely.

It brings Ada and I a whole heap of pleasure running these instances and it’s largely knowing that we’re making a difference to our users, and providing a safe space for you all to grow and flourish that makes it all worth it for us.

Oh let me count the ways…

Ada is super smart and knowledgeable across a broad range of topics from physics, astronomy and technology all the way to the subgenus species and origins of varieties of birds.

She’s pretty, loving, caring, empathetic. She has a big strong heart.

But the ruthlessness and absolute conviction which comes out whenever she sees something wrong… that is honestly the most awesome thing about her. The way she goes from zero to 100 in under a second, that’s her true superpower, and quite something to see.

I’m somewhat enamored, tbh.

It’s okay…

Ada is actually really great, and a tech girl in her own right.

She honestly just lets me play being the tech wizardess cause it goes with my aesthetic.

I have been watching my love tie herself in knots over the last several days, having to deal with the drama that has been brought on, trying her best to bring everyone back together.

There’s been bad behaviour from both sides, and I’m really disappointed to see that some of the worst of it came from our users, who didn’t keep to the moral high ground, disregarded our instance rules and stoopped to levels of behaviour worse than that leveled against them.

There have been accusations against us (or Ada specifically) that we are a safe harbour for bad behaviour and cause harm to trans people through our inaction.

This is perhaps the cruelest accusation they could have leveled at Ada, as she works tirelessly to maintain a safe space for our community, and while I was hoping, for all the effort that she was investing into this issue, that she could make it work despite my own reservations, this last attack on her impeccable morality has made me very angry.

I’m sorry for those that wanted to remain federated, sorry that it came to this, but I am glad it’s over now, purely for the mental health of my precious beloved.
