Meta discussion about Reddit + this Lemmy instance

meta @latte.isnot.coffee jon2 @latte.isnot.coffee Old theme
Lemmy does what Reddit did more. Sadly this meant, as bad as New Reddit's UI was, Lemmy's front end was worse.
This is a solution. It also works without JavaScript.

meta @latte.isnot.coffee coffeeisnotlatte @latte.isnot.coffee Alternative contacts for admins
Since many people have asked me already, I created a Mastodon here: https://mastodon.social/@latteisnotcoffee
You can follow that for server downtime, updates when this server is down etc :)
-
meta @latte.isnot.coffee coffeeisnotlatte @latte.isnot.coffee Server has been successfully moved
Sorry for the downtime, the server has been moved onto better infrastructure so hopefully it won't go down as frequently in the future

meta @latte.isnot.coffee coffeeisnotlatte @latte.isnot.coffee 0.18 released, should we upgrade?
They killed captcha support in 0.18, which basically negates one of the methods to stop the bots... so if we upgrade, we will likely need to email verification until 0.18.1 is released OR stay on 0.17.4 until 0.18.1 is released where they've promised to bring it back.

meta @latte.isnot.coffee coffeeisnotlatte @latte.isnot.coffee Registration is now reopened
Bots cleaned, there is now a captcha and I have some additional admin tools. I'm not going into too much detail as the bot maker may be reading :)
I will be keeping a close eye on the numbers and patterns over the next few days, so it may close again for a few hours depending on the types of attacks. If anyone sees a latte.isnot.coffee user spamming anywhere on Lemmy please let me know immediately

meta @latte.isnot.coffee coffeeisnotlatte @latte.isnot.coffee Admin approval now reqd for signup (Temporary)
Admin approval will be granted every few hours, not ideal but I need to get a handle on the 28k+ bots that have signed up.

meta @latte.isnot.coffee bakavic @latte.isnot.coffee latte.isnot.coffee offers open sign ups - should we implement anti-bot measures?
latte.isnot.coffee PSA: Many Lemmy instances are currently experiencing massive automated sign-ups (bots)! If you run an instance with open sign-ups, please read! - CoffeeToday, a bunch of new instances appeared in the top of the user count list [https://lemmy.fediverse.observer/list]. It appears that these instances are all being bombarded by bot sign-ups. For now, it seems that the bots are especially targeting instances that have: * Open sign-ups * No captcha * No...
Same post on lemm.ee - https://lemm.ee/post/197715
This instance has open sign ups - and is one of the instances which the lemm.ee admins noticed bot posts from.
Should we do anything to stem the bots? Would very much like the lemmyverse to be many small instances federated together, rather then just a few mega ones.

meta @latte.isnot.coffee coffeeisnotlatte @latte.isnot.coffee Downtime again + cause seems to be a memleak
Seems we have a memory leak in Lemmy, I will report it upstream and see what they say since we have 4GB RAM now and it was fine with 2GB for days and now goes down with 4 over 24 hours :|
All I will say is bloody node.js
./syslog:Jun 18 04:38:38 ip-172-31-33-220 kernel: [142633.319174] Out of memory: Killed process 1349 (node) total-vm:2700484kB, anon-rss:2004100kB, file-rss:0kB, shmem-rss:0kB, UID:0 pgtables:18016kB oom_score_adj:0
Reported upstream, in the meantime I may need to do a quick reboot every 24 hours where the server may be down for 1-2 minutes: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/3183

meta @latte.isnot.coffee coffeeisnotlatte @latte.isnot.coffee Sorry for downtime
Server went crazy in CPU and killed itself, looking into it now.
