Updated Voyager to 1.8.0 since that was just released (linked)

Expanded the volume for lemmy by 100GB

Cleaned up old snapshots of VMs, created new baselines.

Scripting and posting shit on Gitea.

New VM for Lemmy w/ separate VMs for Redis and PostgreSQL are just about done. Same with MediaCMS, Pixelfed, and Invidious.

I was also smart enough this time to remember and make snapshots along the way so I don't have to start over if something goes completely wacko.

Finally started putting some things up on the Gitea for the server config.

Started by adding the docker-compose.yml files for two of the lemmy-ui alternatives that are running now.

mlmym, Voyager, and others don't seem to have docker-compose.yml files on their project pages yet, so I'll fork and properly PR those later this afternoon.

Here is a message from his family:

Dear all,

It is with a heavy heart that we have to inform you that Bram Moolenaar passed away on 3 August 2023. Bram was suffering from a medical condition that progressed quickly over the last few weeks.

Bram dedicated a large part of his life to VIM and he was very proud of the VIM community that you are all part of.

We as family are now arranging the funeral service of Bram which will take place in The Netherlands and will be held in the Dutch lanuage. The extact date, time and place are still to be determined. Should you wish to attend his funeral then please send a message to funer...gmail.com. This email address can also be used to get in contact with the family regarding other matters, bearing in the mind the situation we are in right now as family.

With kind regards,

The family of Bram Moolenaar

Was messing with the docker earlier, took it down for a sec then got busy and forgot about it for a bit.

My bad.

Anywhoo.... Lemmy 0.18.3 seems to be nearing release. Just updated the server to lemmy-ui: 0.18.3-rc.5 and lemmy: 0.18.3-rc.4

I'm going to migrate this instance to a couple new/individual VMs over the next week or so (hopefully) so it can scale better/improve uptime. This one that lemmy is running on currently pisses me off because docker has the zfs overlay enabled. It's harshing my mellow making me think disk space is lower than it actually is.

I also want to get the redarc VM accessible (the reddit archives) finally. I need to go over to the colo to unfuck the iDrac on the current before going on vacation. I was going to take more drives to the current server.... but fuck that. I'll take another R720xd over w/48TB and add it to the rack w/the R730xd. Needs done anyways, no time like the present i guess.

Gitea is back online. The VM's virtual disk filled up QUICK be

Updated Server to 0.18.3-rc3 for Lemmy/Lemmy-Ui

Had open registration on, noticed some "businesses" setting up accounts that I'd prefer not be on the server.

As a result email verification for new accounts has been enabled again for this lemmy server.

This is why having your own stack top top bottom is important too, IMO - PHJ

An update:

• fmhy.ml is gone, due to the ongoing fiasco with mali government taking all their .ml domains back
• As such, lemmy.fmhy.ml is also gone, we are currently exploring ways to refederate (or somehow restart federation entirely) without breaking anything substantial
• We have backups, so don't worry about data loss (you can view them on other instances anyway)

Currently, we have fmhy.net and are exploring options to somehow migrate, thank you for your patience.

lol

It might be me making a one-off VM snapshot before possibly fucking everything up.

The fanbase is still large, but the Lemmy community hasn't quite caught up yet, and now there is a transitional period where the audience is smaller.

It was one of those few 3rd party Apps that still worked. Apparently dev was in talks with Reddit in obtaining Paid-API-Access, but now they cut off his API-Access mid talks without informing him
