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.
The (relatively new) server that Fedia.io was running on, a Hetzner AX 162-R, died overnight. Hetzner tells me that the main board failed and had to be replaced. In the process of repairing, the raid set got corrupted and would no longer boot....
Hello everyone. I just upgraded fedia.io to mbin 1.7.1-rc1. One of the notable changes is that mbin is deprecating mercure, which is the component that provided streaming updates. As such, you will have to refresh the web page to see new posts and comments.
I will be rehoming fedia.io to a less expensive server the afternoon of July 1 - exact timing is TBD. Downtime should last about 2 hours. The current server is quite expensive and donations are dwindling, which is normally ok, but I am losing my job and have to be a bit more frugal.
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...
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...
Shortly after upgrading to Mbin 1.7.1-rc1, php ran out of workers. I dramatically increased the limit. It isn’t clear to me why that happened and if it’s related to the upgrade or just coincidental. My intuition is that it’s related, but I have no evidence.
Hello. I will be taking fedia.io offline on Saturday, Feb 3 to rehome it to a different server. Since moving fedia.io to a container-based platform, federation has been very unreliable and slow. I'll be moving to a non-container-based/bare metal install, which should address the federation issues.
