yeah. although we don't totally know what happened we know for certain it was nothing too serious
ah ok thanks for the update. I thought maybe you were getting severely increased traffic today or something!
we are also but we're pretty sure that's not what this was, lol
ah fair enough. Thanks for working so hard to keep this going!
I got similar errors when I was running out of disk space. Maybe not the same problem you had but just mentioning
I wonder how much disk space the big instances are using... I'm only at a dozen users. I have subscribed to most of the largest communities across the "threadiverse" so my instance is caching a copy of everything happening across those. I'm under 2GB space used so far.
I imagine it's mostly the media uploads. I think that doesn't get cached, just the text. But anything a user uploads will get saved to their instance's storage. I think.
I think we're at around 25GB at the moment.
Huh, that's it? I think my free 150GB on my server will do nicely then. I plan to cap my user count at 100 (active) so it doesn't get out of hand.
I was also under the impression that instances don't cache remote images, but I'm seeing a lot of cached images under volumes/pictrs/files.
I think it caches thumbnails. And I imagine it probably deletes older ones?
I noticed it earlier too, I chalked it up to it dealing with a big spike of traffic or something but I don't know what was really the cause
I had been having a bunch of issues attempting to connect different communities from there to my instance - so it wouldn't surprise me xD
I guess there has been a crazy influx of new users today!
Indeed - today something finally toppled in the internet realms. I felt it, and I created my first instance and joined. I'm sure many others will to.
I even ran into a few difficulties setting up my instance not yet documented but added a few comments to the relevant github threads. It's happening, and fast.
Relaxed section for discussion and debate that doesn't fit anywhere else. Whether it's advice, how your week is going, a link that's at the back of your mind, or something like that, it can likely go here.
