Welcome to this week’s casual kōrero thread!
This post will be pinned in this community so you can always find it, and will stay for about a week until replaced by the next one.
It’s for talking about anything that might not justify a full post. For example:
- Something interesting that happened to you
- Something humourous that happened to you
- Something frustrating that happened to you
- A quick question
- A request for recommendations
- Pictures of your pet
- A picture of a cloud that kind of looks like an elephant
- Anything else, there are no rules (except the rule)
So how’s it going?
In case you missed it, Lemmy.nz is going down tonight to move to a new VPS: https://lemmy.nz/post/34413158
It may not be straight away at 7:30, but once it goes down it will be fully down until everything is on the new VPS (or until I roll back if things don’t go well).
For Lemmy.nz users, this means the lemmy.nz website won’t work. You can lurk on a different server or just have a night off.
For people on other instances, this means any content posted to Lemmy.nz communities won’t be federated until Lemmy.nz is back online. For example, if your account is on lemmy.world and you post to !newzealand@lemmy.nz, other users on Lemmy.world will see the post but users on other instances (say, sh.itjust.works) won’t see it until Lemmy.nz is back up and federating.
As you might have noticed we were back up and running after a little over an hour last night.
I have noticed some slowdown this morning, and checking logs it seems 75% of traffic is coming from Asia and Africa. In a service like this, most traffic is federation, and we should see Lemmy.world at the top of that list. Unfortunately they are only about 7% of traffic, so it’s likely most traffic is from AI scrapers.
I hope to look into getting Anubis set up this weekend, to see how much of a difference that can make.
