Reddthat Announcements

Small update as I’m now tired and going off to sleep.

That’s 2 hours from this post.

So much has happened since the last update, we’ve migrated to a new server, we’ve failed to update to a new lemmy version, automated our rollouts, fought with OVH about contracts. It’s been a lot.

We just successfully upgraded to the latest Lemmy version, 0.9.10, probably the last before the v1 release.

Hello Reddthat! We are back for another update on how we are tracking. It’s been a while eh? Probably because it was such smooth sailing!

Let’s bring in the new year with some maintenance.

Hello Reddthat-thians!

We had a brief outage today due to the server running out of space.

It’s our Birthday! 🎂

April is here and we’re still enjoying our little corner of the lemmy-verse! This post is quite late for our April announcement as my chocolate coma has only now subsided

In the past 24-48 hours we’ve done a lot of work as you may have noticed, but you might be wondering why there are posts and comments with 0 upvotes.

There was a period on an hour where we migrated our database to it’s own server in the same data centre.

Our server rebooted and unfortunately I had not saved our new firewall rules. This blocked all Lemmy services from accessing our databases.

Edited: this post to be the Lemmy.World federation issue post.

Just got the server back up into a working state, still investigating why it decided to kill itself.

Unfortunately we had a Valentine’s Day outage of around 2 hours.

Happy leap year! February comes with a fun 29th day? What will we do with the extra 24 hours? Sorry I missed the January update but I was too busy living the dream in cyberspace.

We’ve finally updated to 0.19 after some serious wrangling with the database migrations.

Hello Everyone, I would like to wish everyone a happy New Year period where we’ve decided as a human race to stop working and start enjoying spending copious amounts of money on loved ones, items for ourselves, or just relishing the time to relax and recuperate. Whatever your desired state of mind while the New Year period is we at Reddthat hope you enjoy it!

Hello Reddthat,

The things that I do while I’m meant to be sleeping is apparently break Reddthat! Sorry folks. Here’s a postmortem on the issue.

After looking at our UI for a while I thought, someone will have created something special for Lemmy already. So I opened our development server, told it to get the bag rolling and investigated all the apps people have created.

Hey Reddthat,

Unfortunately we had an issue updating to the latest version of Lemmy. This caused database corruption and we had to roll back to a backup that was unfortunately from 2 days ago!

After updating to the new pictrs container, all image uploads are (randomly?) failing.
