Hi everyone

I just upgraded feddit.ch to the most recent Lemmy Version v.0.19.2 and hope it fixes some ongoing issues with lemmy. Together with the upgrade this instance to a little performance boost to cope with the higher load.

If you want to know more about Lemmy v.0.19.2, here you go.

The pictr-rs migration is still pending and will probably cause some downtime too, but i'll keep you posted.

If you have any questions or issues, please let me know.

Hi everyone

I just upgraded feddit.ch to the most recent Lemmy Version v.0.19.1. The new version brings a lot of new features. For example, you can now block entire instances, if you don't like their content, enhanced post ranking, reworked 2fa and much more. I think the new update brings many great improvement, take a look at their change log.

I installed Version 0.19.1 over 0.19.0 because was causing some federation issues. If you like to know more, here are the recent changes to lemmy.

With the update, i also restored image uploads, so you can post your favorite images again.

The update caused some downtime, since the database somehow used all the remaining disk space and needed to do some clean up afterwards.

The next step will be to relocate the pict-rs to a different datastore, since it is using a lot of space together with the db.

If you have any questions, just let me know. If you like to contribute, you'll have some information about that in the sidebar.

Happy Xmas and enjoy your time with your loved ones.

Regarding the ongoing CSAM problem on the lemmy instances, i will temporary disable image upload for this instance.

With this action, i hope i can also restrict possible CSAM content being cached to feddit.ch. I know this is a rather harsh measure, but i want to keep the instance running as long as i can.

There devs seem to acknowledge the issue and a lot of mods are looking for options to cope with this problem. As soon as there will be a better solution for this issue, we will be back to normal.

For now, if you want to upload images to a post or a comment, there are various sites that offer free image upload.

I hope you understand.

Edit: typos

As of right now, i temporarily removed the community from federating with our instance because of CSAM, which was and still is posted on this community. As soon as the issue is resolved, we federate again.

Sorry for any inconvenience, but this is for better for us all.

Edit: The purge command seemed to lock up the db and the instance was unresponsive for some time. I hope we god rid of the content for now. There might be some other actions taken. I hope you understand.

Sorry for any interruptions caused.

Edit 2: All files which were uploaded to the feddit.ch instance from 27.08. until now were deleted. Sorry if i disrupted any of your posts or comments. We really don't want any CSAM content on this instance an hope we got away with some cached content.

Hi guys, _Frog again.

We had a minor downtime, because Microsoft decided, that my free credits would run own... now. I just got the notice via mail and some 5min later, Microsoft decided the stop all my services.

This has nothing to do with the ongoing XSS attack on some instance, but more like Microsoft trolling me.

Sorry guys, shouldn't happen again - hopefully.
