    (luckily I was posting this to newcomers whenever I had the chance...)

    Good stuff, Sergio! 😄

  • Lol love the new username, fitting! 🙂

    Yarr, thank ye kindly, Lazy 😛

  • Yeah I had plans to set up something like that, but always other priorities and in this specific case I could maybe access other internal servers but i would need KVM access to reboot the firewall or some other way to cut physical power. And exfiltrating hundreds of GBs of lemmy database wouldn't work over such a small pipe either.

    This is something that even larger corps struggle with. My old company would buy some other company, lay off a bunch of people, others would quit, and then it was shocked Pikachu faces all around when That One Thing stopped working in an office they turned into a ghost town and, well, no, nobody was going to be there until Monday morning to power cycle etc. True lights out/OOB reachability is WORK. And there's always going to be a SPOF somewhere that requires hands on-site.

    Do what you can, when you can. And thank you for all that y'all have done so far.

  • Good luck and all the best. Time to touch grass, everyone 😔

    You mean create an alt, right?

  • My loss of time is small true. I will just move on. But keep in mind new users may not be as knowledgeable as myself.

    Knowledgeable? Lmao

    Our instance is currently down and I can't get remote access to the servers. It appears that there might have been a hardware failure of the main firewall, which is the one thing I can't work around remotely.

    I am still trying a few things, but I am not very optimistic that I can get access.

    The really unfortunate part is that just now I am on one of my rare work deployments abroad, so I also can't access it physically during the next few weeks and my usual back up that could restart it is not available either.

    As something like that never happened in 3 years operating the servers, I thought I can risk it, but murphy's law seems inescapable 😓

    I will try to keep you posted here on any updates, but probably there will not be much I can do for a while. Really bad timing 😥

    Edit: we might use this "opportunity" to migrate the instance to Piefed, which has been an idea for quite some time now. I will keep you posted on that.

    This is actually great timing, i'd say. Just now most of the northern hemisphere is starting into summer. At least i deeply feel it on a personal level that summer is arriving. I take this as a gift from the universe that directs me towards touching grass, and going swimming. Enjoy your summer, you all! Connect with your local community, if you can.

    Okay I touched grass and now I'm bored and itchy

  • Yeah I had plans to set up something like that, but always other priorities and in this specific case I could maybe access other internal servers but i would need KVM access to reboot the firewall or some other way to cut physical power. And exfiltrating hundreds of GBs of lemmy database wouldn't work over such a small pipe either.

    For that, I'd highly recommend a power conditioner with outlet controls (and preferably sequencing).

    Most are pretty expensive, but you can get something like a surgex squid or a gude expert power control for a few hundred here and there, which will give you great data on power usage as well. You can also grab an older model with serial and/or relay controls, and use a pi or whatever is handy to trigger it. Actually have a setup like that in a few racks for clients (mostly orange pis and a couple of Asus tinker boards).

    Hope your trip goes well!

    Try not to stress too much about it while you're away! If nothing can be done, nothing can be done. Solarpunks need to be resilient to things like this anyway. Community over convenience.

  • This is making me want to create an alt on slrpnk.net , since you're so chill and communicative about issues.

    communicative about issues

    Aren't most admins this way?

    *glances at your instance name*

    Ah...

    Thanks for letting us know! Try not to worry about it too much, it’s all good

    Thanks, I am trying, but it really is quite annoying to lose access like that.

    Glad that at least someone sees a positive side of it, because I sure don't... well at least it gives me a bunch of ideas how to avoid such situations in the future 🤷

    Lol. Yeah, sdf.org feels pretty hands-off. They have longevity going for them--I've had an sdf account of some sort since 2009 at the latest. The system started life as a BBS in the 80s. The name comes from the anime "Super Dimension Fortress", which I've never seen.

    Thanks for the heads up! My Main account is in slrpnk, so I'll set a reminder in an month to switch back. 🙂

    pretty hands-off

    Given that the single admin @SDF@lemmy.sdf.org hasn't been active in two years, yeah, I'd say that counts as "pretty hands-off". The SDF organization as a whole will probably be around for decades to come, but they don't seem to care that much about their Lemmy instance.

    Yeah! It's definitely worth adding to my list of migration contenders now that lemm.ee is closing and I have to jump ship

    tchambers@indieweb.social this, in a nutshell. The fediverse vid AP can support both A and B, and we can wax poetic about how one is superior to the other but both are legitimate UX decisions by their respective software stacks. I prefer B myself, of course. cc tommi@pan.rent j12t@j12t.social

    Tell me about it! There are some very cool people (i.e. thisismissem@hachyderm.io) working on content classification and tagging so that the burden of filtering out this kind of content isn't borne by server admins directly.

    snoopy@jlai.lu personally, since I create AP enabled software I am on the side of votes being public data. We already have enough issues with votes being out of sync with each other. Mixing in private voting is just asking for trouble. Emoji reactions are neat, although niche to those softwares that utilise it. They allow for greater expression which is nice. They're useless for deriving value (for ranking purposes) unless you assign value to them.

    Very interesting article! I have immense respect for jerry@infosec.exchange, he was one of the first people I found on the fediverse, and it's no wonder why, he's revered quite highly by others as being a generous and kind admin. I do want to point out one thing, and that is that Mastodon has some design decisions that make it rather resource and storage intensive. There are oodles of lighter software out there, some with even more features than Mastodon, and some with less. For example, snac.bsd.cafe (https://snac.bsd.cafe/) runs on Snac, which is fast as hell. I am going to guess that a not insignificant portion of Jerry's bill is caching assets. Mastodon likes to save everything it encounters, videos, images, avatars, everything... forever (though I imagine this is customisable). Most likely the assets are viewed a handful of times in one day and never seen again... but you'll pay to store it forever!

    Thanks! It's something that I personally feel is more performant and future proof for other important things like private discussions (which Mastodon also doesn't support natively yet — mention spamming doesn't count.)

    I think the FEP process is overly complicated for what it is, but it's definitely helpful if you have multiple implementors on board. The easiest (but least accessible) solution is to document something on your own site, but that lacks the social proof that a finalized FEP has. Just some food for thought I'm looking to create an FEP for cross posting and would love to get the entire threadiverse dev community involved.
