I'll be doing some server maintenance today around 11 AM EST. You will be unable to upload images to fanaticus until the maintenance is finished.

For the technical, I'll be (finally) migrating the pict-rs data to object storage. I was lazy last fall and simply upgraded the server size (and therefore the volume size) instead of doing the proper thing and migrating. This is bad for two reasons:

1. It's not scalable -- volume storage is limited and requires regular updates to increase the size of the volume. Object storage automatically scales. You pay for what you use and that's it
2. Our server is way beefier than it needs to be, soley so our volume size can be large enough to store all our images. That means I pay more for server power we just don't need. I knew this was an issue when I kicked the can down the road last fall but my life got busy and I needed to just buy myself some time.

I'll be following these docs:

Hi all, it was brought to my attention that Lemmy.World is not federating with Fanaticus as of about a week ago. I did a little digging and found that we were recently added to Lemmy.World's blocklist.

I've reached out to the admins on multiple channels and am hoping to resolve this soon. Sorry for the inconvenience!

Check out the new features here.

Fanaticus will be upgrading to 0.19.0 at 1:30 EST. According to the release post, this will likely take 30 minutes.

Check out the new features here.

Any idea what this is about?

Not a tech guy, can't code or anything. Just created a Real Madrid community here and would love to deploy one (pls join if you’re a football fan or curious).

Idk if I can do it but i'd love to hear how it's done.

Wondering how many instances fanaticus has defederated from or has been defederated from simce I haven't found fanaticus communities in my main account and similarly don't see many other here.

It might take some time. I've got resize the server's disk.

We understand that some users in the fediverse don't want to see sports content and are frustrated with Fanaticus's game bots' daily posts.

Currently, lemmy doesn't support blocking entire instance's at a user level. Because of that limitation, I am providing a list of the current communities on Fanaticus that have active game bots and a little python script so users can block those communities.

I’d love to set that up for football games for /c/scgamecocks if possible!

Today is my first free Saturday since mid summer. With that time, I was able to fully migrate our game bots to their dev server and upgrade them to our latest version of code.

This should improve the stability of fanaticus as well as the bots.

@[email protected] - are you able to reboot it? Ive been MIA for a bit since lemmy.world was having issues connecting but I made a new account which seems to be working.

Hi, everyone! A few of you have brought to my attention that lemmy.world is not receiving new posts from fanaticus and vice versa.

I've been debugging it and haven't been able to resolve the issue. Fanaticus' nginx logs are reporting that all requests incoming from lemmy.world are returning a 400. Additionally, we've found that outbound requests to lemmy.world from fanaticus are being responded to with a CloudFlare page.

I am reaching out to the lemmy.world admins to see if we can get fanaticus's IP whitelisted on their CF config. I'll update this thread with any news.

Well we just updated to 0.18.3 and a new one was released today. We'll update tonight.

Sorry for the delay! It's been a wild month, lots of vacation :)

We're going to be updating to 0.18.3 in 15 minutes. The upgrade should take 5 minutes or so.

Not the end of the world, but I don't see a pre or live game thread for twins v mariners on either side (7/26)

@headie_sage, I don’t know if you’ve seen this and I don’t know if we could/would want to implement this on fanaticus.social, but I thought this was an interesting post.
