Lemmy Online @lemmyonline.com HTTP_404_NotFound @lemmyonline.com Pictrs disabled
A heads up....
Since, attackers/etc are now uploading CSAM (child porn....) to lemmy, which gets federated to other instances....
Because I really don't want any reason for the feds to come knocking on my door, as of this time, pictrs is now disabled.
This means.... if you try to post an image, it will fail. As well, you will notice other issues potentially.
Driver for this: https://lemmyonline.com/post/454050
This- is a hobby for me. Given the complete and utter lack of moderation tools to help me properly filter content, the nuclear approach is the only approach here.

Lemmy Online @lemmyonline.com HTTP_404_NotFound @lemmyonline.com Negativity on Lemmy
I am just wondering... is it me- or is there a LOT of just general negativity here.
Every other post I see is...
- America is bad.
- Capitalism is bad. Socialism/Communism is good.
- If you don't like communism, you are a fascist nazi.
Honestly, it's kind of killing my mood with Lemmy. There are a few decent communities/subs here, but, the quality of content appears to be falling.
I mean, FFS. It can't just be me that is noticing this. It honestly feels like I am supporting a communist platform here.
I am on social media to post and read about things related to technology, automation, race cars, etc.
Every other technology post, is somebody bashing on Elon Musk (actually- that is deserved), or talking about Reddit (Let it go. Seriously. We are here, it is there).
On my hobby of liking racecars, I guess, half of the people on lemmy feel it is OK to vandalize a car for being too big.... an

Lemmy Online @lemmyonline.com HTTP_404_NotFound @lemmyonline.com The issue, and next steps
Turns out... its ceph storage.
Despite having 7x OSDs on bare metal NVMe... despite having DEDICATED 10G network connectivity.... Its having significant performance issues.
Any spikes in IO (Large file transfers, backups. Even copying files to a different server) would cause huge IO delays, causing things to break or drop offline.
There are no errors shown. The configuration is pretty standard. I have no idea why it is having so many issues.
I have cleared off a new NVMe, and will move this server to it tomorrow, and hopefully end all of the issues from this week... Assuming I have any users left here. (I wouldn't blame you for leaving, it has been a really bad week for LemmyOnline)
IF, my assumptions are incorrect, then f-it, I will just run lemmy on a bare metal server I have on standby.
Update
Server migrated to local storage. Was, nearly unnoticeable, unless you did something in the 3 minute window it took to clone/restore/etc.

Lemmy Online @lemmyonline.com HTTP_404_NotFound @lemmyonline.com Downtime Followup
As a continuation from the FIRST POST
As you have likely noticed, there are still issues.
To summarize the first post.... catastrophic software/hardware failure, which meant needing to restore from backups.
I decided to take the opportunity to rebuild newer, and better. As such, I decided to give proxmox a try, with a ceph storage backend.
After, getting a simple k8s environment back up and running on the cluster, and restoring the backups- lemmy online, was mostly back in business using the existing manifests.
Well, the problem is.... when heavy backend IO occurs (during backups, big operations, installing large software....), the longhorn.io storage used in the k8s environment, kind of... "dies".
And- as I have seen today, this is not an infrequent issue. I have had to bounce the VM multiple times today to restore operations.
I am currently working on building out a new VM specifically for LemmyOnline, to seperate it from

Lemmy Online @lemmyonline.com Ganbat @lemmyonline.com Unable to Subscribe?
There seems to be some kind of bug with the Subscribe and Block buttons in the sidebar. They're appearing for me as nothing but text. Here's a picture with the inspector open showing that there's no
<a>
element at all.Also, this only occurs from the community view. Going into a post displays the buttons correctly.
I don't know if this is a Lemmy issue or instance issue, all I know is that I don't believe it was an issue on another instance I was signed-up to.
