I’m probably not the best person to answer, I only really got into this 3 years ago when I took a chance on setting up a lemmy server, and I have learned so so much (and am clearly still learning based on the intrusion!).

There are great tools and resources, but the biggest challenge has been finding people to help who actually know what they’re doing for when I inevitably break something. Gazby has saved Lemmy quite a few times when something stupid has happened.

There always seems another layer to it too, you think you understand something and it turns out it goes deeper. So many different technologies and services interacting together. I’d hate to think what a real sysadmin has to go though each day!

Glad you’re here 😊

Yeah, its a super niche issue I think, exacerbated by the fact we insert community blocks for all new users, which further impacted on how badly postgres struggled with it. Schwim had 10ish communities also that he had blocked personally, but we had since banned the mods of from .zip, and the way lemmy handles these is basically to hide them from the user in the blocked communties screen, hence the ghost-blocks, so all around it was just a mess. Thankfully such a simple* fix.

*It took hours and hours and hours.

Yes, me messing with the DB config to try and prevent loads of micro-crashes (if that’s such a thing). You can see it starts to ease up then, but the drops are further crashes (and also me restarting the db for various things).

Traffic spike is probably redditors finding a new home!

You are super generous, thank you ❤️

It’s not an issue in 1.0 because they’ve changed how it works, I’m not sure if they’re planning on another 0.19 release or not, or how many people are actually impacted by this to make it worthwhile implementing elsewhere? @nutomic@lemmy.ml

Thanks for being here and happy 2 years! 😊

❤️ Appreciate the kind words. Couldn’t do it without all the other admins (Druid, Gazby, INeedMana, Schwim) :)

This should be back up and running now :)

Im not sure if you can access user settings in summit to remove totp. If not, drop an email to hello@lemmy.zip from the email for this account and I can sort it for you next time I’m by my PC!

I played the shit out of this as a kid. Nice.

Its not a Jiraffe though is it 😉

Let me guess… someone stole your sweet roll?

Thanks for being part of it 😊
