Server upgrades complete! (self.announcements)
submitted 1 day ago by bdonvr to c/announcements
 
 

It looks like everything is functional as far as I can tell! And it only took 2.5hrs instead of 3 :P

Let me know if you run into any oddities. Other servers will be playing catch-up to send us all the federated posts we missed in the past few hours.

Now to go test and see if my janky backup scripts still work.....

See text from previous post below for details about the upgrade.


It's been a while, how have you been?

The Lemmy Club has been chugging along just fine, but with one issue - our database is beginning to push the limits of our storage drive. We're pushing 60gb on the DB. That's not photos, just text, vote records, etc. We have a larger drive with plenty of space but I only use it for backups because it's a slow drive and putting the database there would cause the site to crawl.

The last time this happened I just upgraded to the next tier of server up, which gave us a bit more storage and a decent bump in RAM/CPU. I could do the same again but the current server provider only offers an upgrade to a tier with 25gb more storage. We'd also get a bump in CPU/RAM but we're already overpowered in that regard. I like our current server provider however the numbers just don't make sense for us.

Instead, I've secured a server with a different provider. We'll get way more fast storage, more (albeit less powerful) CPU cores, and more RAM. For $7 less per month.

So what's changing?

  • Server location moving from NYC to Washington, DC.
  • Going from 6 x86 cores to 14 ARM cores
  • Going from 24GB to 32GB of RAM (way more than we need tbh lol)
  • Going from 100GB SSD storage to 1TB
  • New company is European (server physically in US)
  • Going from $27/mo ($22 main server + $5 for 1tb extra storage) to $20/mo

I've got the server up I'll just need a few hours to shut down the current one, back everything up completely, transfer, and restore it all. After that you shouldn't notice any change.

As always, thanks for being a member of The Lemmy Club.


If you’d like to help contribute to our ongoing costs, or would like to show some appreciation, you can at OpenCollective: https://opencollective.com/thelemmyclub

This instance is mostly self funded with no return whatsoever. The costs aren’t too high (~$440/yr) but community donations are always very appreciated. At the moment, we’re about 27% community funded. Either way, The Lemmy Club isn’t going anywhere anytime soon. Also that number has went up quite a bit since I last looked. The photo storage (served by a seperate network storage solution) has started to balloon recently. I may have to look into a cheaper provider.

Federal employee pension benefits are set to be pared back in Republicans’ giant tax and spending package working its way through the US House, another slap at a workforce roiled by Elon Musk’s cost-cutting efforts.

I've been here years and I'm still getting new ones that make me laugh

U.S. District Judge Terry Doughty, a Trump appointee, said the child — identified in court papers by the initials “V.M.L.” — appeared to have been released in Honduras earlier Friday, along with her Honduran-born mother and sister, who had been detained by immigration officials earlier in the week

Lawyers for the guardian told the court that V.M.L.’s father had been attempting to contact the girl’s mother to discuss plans for their child but ICE officials denied him the chance to have a substantive phone call. He says ICE allowed the two to speak for about one minute on Tuesday, while the mother was in ICE custody, but that they were unable to make any meaningful decisions about their child.

"The guardian" in that quoted paragraph refers to a friend of the girl's father, who he sent to pick up his daughter from the ICE detention center

The actor, who was once the face of The Six Million Dollar Man, still has charm and presence that made him a household name in the ’70s.
