Welcome to today’s daily kōrero!

Anyone can make the thread, first in first served. If you are here on a day and there’s no daily thread, feel free to create it!

Anyway, it’s just a chance to talk about your day, what you have planned, what you have done, etc.

So, how’s it going?

Why are some people on campgrounds so inconsiderate? Earlier this week a grandma, mother and child still noisy after 10pm. Kids trying to sleep, so tried to ask politely to be a bit quieter. They inmediately interjected, going full in the defense. This morning, from 5am a woman was talking super loud and fighting with her partner. Later in the morning again super loud to call her child etc.

For the rest it's awesome here.

This is why we don't go camping.

Don't get me started on people playing loud music in the camp ground either.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

It's much better in a campervan, we never have such issues on freedom sites.

Other than this, it's really great. Most people are friendly and considerate.

That's why I would never going to campgrounds, too many people and you will meet people like that. I'd better sleep alone in the forest on the mountain.

I've set up a test instance of lemmy with a recent backup restored (backups are each over 200GB because of the image cache) and am preparing to test the update to lemmy 0.19 and pictrs 0.5.

I'm thinking I might do the 0.19 first, then once others have updated to pictrs 0.5 and it's going OK then I'll give it a go in the test instance. The pictrs update is what I've been waiting for, which let's us set an expiry of the image cache (currently lemmy had all images ever cached still in the cache, in full resolution).

The lemmy 0.19 update shouldn't take long, but the pictrs one will take a while I believe as it's got some sort of database migration to do.

Anyone got any objection to having lemmy.nz updated to 0.19 later this week? It might break apps that haven't been updated in a while, but that is inevitable anyway.

Good news about 0.19! I read that it's more resource intensive somewhere, not sure if it's true.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Hmm, it's supposed to be less 😆.

No matter, I'm most exciting for the pictrs update that lemmy uses for storing images. Daily backups of 200GB+ and growing are beginning to be a bit of trouble to transfer and store. I've been hand holding the backup process recently.

I don't think the pictrs 0.5 update is officially released yet, but when it is our backups should be significantly smaller (as well as the general disk usage).

One exciting thing for 0.19 is that the issue should be solved where it loads the wrong page when you press the browser back button.

Update: I've run the 0.19 update in my test environment, all is working. It took a little over 20 minutes from starting it to having the site back up and available again.

I might do an evening update. I'll make an announcement post and people can post their objections or ask their questions there.

Update 2: I won't do the update today, there are some other instances still having serious problems.

Just mowed the grass and picked up a passenger in the process. It was a small green NZ Praying Mantis who I felt crawling around in the crook of my arm. Didn’t want to harm it, so left it there crawling around while I kept on mowing. Eventually it departed before I’d finished, but when I came indoors I discovered the little monkey had bitten me a number of times which was becoming sore. Didn’t feel it when I was working.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

I didn't realise they bite! Though I guess it makes sense.

I just did a search and apparently they bite but it's rare because they have big eyes and can clearly see you aren't prey. Well, maybe you look like prey?

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

I didn’t know they would do that either, it wasn’t that I felt it happening at the time, only afterwards.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Was it clearly a bite? It's not from their scratchy legs or something?

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

I think you’re right, the marks are like tiny pin pricks, and given it was on my arm for a while, I ended up with lots of them. Good observation, thanks.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Not that it changes anything 😆, you've still got sore marks on your arm.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Still very sore this am, put antiseptic cream on before bed as well. It’ll be OK, know to put the little fellow on a plant if it happens again ¯_(ツ)_/¯

I suppose at some point I should take the Christmas tree down..

[-] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

Or don't, and save yourself some time next Christmas?
