fedia

First, I want to thank those who pointed me to mbin. I spent about 14 hours today with help from the mbin team on and off and found/fixed many problems....

I’m trying to access this community from fedia.io:...

This is something that could go in the FAQ. If the answer is to post to a community on another instance, I never figured out how to do that....

Hi all. I was recently made aware that people have been getting error 429's and other error 500's when visiting fedia.io. My hope/expectation is that those will no longer happen now that I've moved back to a bare metal install, but if you do experience that, please comment below, or if that doesn't work, send me an emai to...

I've noticed that recent submissions made in both @LoLFanArt and @FloatingIsFun don't seem to have federated out:...

Hello everyone. I will be taking fedia.io offline in a few hours (timing dependent on work meetings) to apply the latest mbin updates, which should, among other things, fix 2FA....

I spent an incredible amount of time over the past few days unf*cking the fedia.io database. It should be clean now and that should both dramatically improve performance and fix all or most all of the remaining error 500’s

When I look at https://fedia.io/all/newest right now there seems to be very little getting through today, with only 3 new threads in the past 10 hours....

While I’m skeptical there are many people still using fedia.io, I have been continue to try to fix the error 500 problems. These errors are caused by kbin thinking it stored database records with pointers to images (like the avatar image, images attached to posts and the like) but not actually finishing. So when certain...

You have no doubt noticed that federation is breaking again. I am painfully aware of it. The issue is with the symphony queue runner that processes incoming messages from other instances. Occasionally, the server receives a message that causes the queue runner to die. I have to manually remove the offending message out of...

Is anyone else having the QR image not generate when trying to setup two-factor authentication?

Recently, there's been a pretty serious spam bot on a federated community: https://fedia.io/u/@ThuleanSneed@startrek.website...

You literally can't do it. If you try, you just get an error message. Pretty much anything from hexbear.net is unblockable. Which is really unfortunately, because it is one of the worst instances out there.

For a while now all video threads are basically just opening a screenshot of the video when you expand them instead of opening the video itself. I noticed this both for YouTube and Catbox hosted videos and you now have to first open the thread itself, and then click on the actual link of the title to open the actual page where...

Fedia.io is now running on it's own stand-alone server. This server is costing me $210/month, so any contributions are welcome. Please let me know of any issues.

Hi all. It took a while for me to get to it, but I have just completed rehoming fedia.io from containers back to a bare metal install. This should fix the issue with federation stopping. I'll keep an eye on it, though.

Uploading GIFs on this site has been hit-or-miss for the few months I've been here, but where they used to fail with an error page a while back, the GIF is now quietly discarded from the thread. Posting GIFs to this instance is broken from kbin.social as well (where the whole post fails) so it's not a front-end issue.

I tried to comment in this thread:...

I get the threads, but there's no votes, no replies. Nothing. None of my comments show up anywhere if I look at the original instances....

I have ensured that I am not subscribed to any mags on centralized instances. E.g....

I cannot view the “we’re back” thread -- just get the error 500....

Opening the following thread leads to a 500 error to me:...

The server fedia.io had been running on started developing stability problems overnight from Thursday April 4 to Friday April 5. By Saturday (today), the system was completely unbootable. After attempting to resolve the hardware issue with Hetzner (the ISP) for about 6 hours, I gave up and moved the site to a new server. All...

So, I'm have some topic I want to write a post about, but don't know what would be the best fitting magazine to post it....

I am going to be rehoming fedia.io to a new server. Today, fedia.io runs on shared app server and shared database server. I will be moving fedia.io to a dedicated 48 core/96 thread AMD epyc server with 256GB of RAM, which will house both the app and the database. This is less about fedia.io and more about the other apps running...
