Great work, team. Happy Halloween! π»
This is honestly hilarious π€£
I appreciate the concern, but we are doing this because we enjoy doing it and our skill sets allow us to contribute. These are exciting times, even with the issues we are working through :) No worries.
FYI, this is due to a confluence of issues.
- We are the largest instance with the highest active user count - and by a good margin.
- We are dealing with a premature software base that was not designed to handle this load. For example, the way the ActivityPub Federation queues are handled are not conducive to high volume requests. Failed messages stay in queue for 60 seconds before they retry once, and if that attempt fails it sits in queue for one hour before attempting to retry. These queued messages sit in memory the whole time. It's not great, and there isn't much we can currently do to change this, other than to manually defederate from 'dead' servers in order to drop the number of items stuck in queue that are never going to get a response. Not an elegant solution by any means, and one we will go back and address when future tools are in place, but we have seen significant improvement because of this.
- We have attempted contacting Lemmy devs for some insight/assistance with this, but have not heard back yet, at this time. Much of this is in their hands.
- We were able to confirm receipt of our federation messages (from lemmy.world) to other instance admins instances at lemm.ee and discuss.as200950.com. As such we do know that federation is working at least to some degree, but it is obviously still in need of some work. As mentioned above, we have reached out to the Lemmy devs, who are instance owners of Lemmy.ml, to collaborate. I cannot confirm if they are getting our federation at this time. Hopefully in coming Lemmy releases this becomes easier to analyze without needing direct server access to both instances servers.
As you can see, we are trying to juggle several different parameters here to try and provide the best experience we can, with the tools we have at our disposal. You may consider raising an issue on their GitHub about this to try to get more visibility to them from affected users.
Just to be clear, are you saying that when you go to your profile page, the sublemmys that you have 'subscription pending' for do not show up there??
The other thing to note with this bug, at least in my experience and what I have seen, even if it shows pending it will still show up in your 'Subscribed' feed. So while visually it is inaccurate, it seems to actually function properly. To be seen if the upgrade to 0.18.1 has any effect.
The Lemmyverse site is good. There is also https://browse.feddit.de which I have used to find a few smaller communities from instances that don't show up on my own home instance (Lemmy.world). Then I can search the specific community name on lemmy.world which makes it visible for anyone else on my instance to find going forward from the main community search.
How do external drives behave in relation to internal NAS storage/management?

Not sure the best place to ask this.
I have a DS420J 4 bay NAS, primarily used for my Plex server and data backups (among a few other things). I currently have 8x6x6 TB Iron Wolf NAS drives in a single volume with SRH and an extra 1 TB SSD JBOD. I have my Plex app and metadata stored on the SSD due to the increased performance I have seen vs. having it installed on the large pool (7200 RPM cap). I am sitting at about 85% used storage of my available 10.8 TB on the primary volume. As such, I am pre-planning my next storage upgrade and am curious about my options while staying with the current hardware. The future plan will be a NAS upgrade, but this little beast has been chugging along so perfectly I want to push it as far as I can.
If I was to remove the 1 TB drive and replace it with another 8 TB Iron Wolf, I would jump to 20 TB available storage. https://www.synology.com/en-us/support/RAID_calculator?hdds=6+TB%7C6+T
Thanks for posting this over here. I otherwise wouldn't have known this was going on. As I used a mostly lurker account for game day threads I wasn't going to bother with a data request. It's a whole different story if we can inundate them though. Request submitted. o7
Thanks @[email protected] for getting this going. I have high hopes π if you need any mod support, please let me know.
Funny Story About Reddit's Failing Systems Hitting the Corporate World - Almost
I am a PSE for a large corporation that most people would not be familiar with (those users that frequent this sub probably would). However, we supply business critical software to many of the big companies you definitely do know. This puts me in a position where I work directly with some of the most well paid 'tech execs' you can find and has lead to many hilarious situations. Those are stories for another day however. Today is about Reddit - for they have angered me greatly.
I get a ticket this morning around 10 AM. As usual, I get a bunch of helpful information including an irrelevant screenshot and a one liner about how the RSS feed that they have pulling into one of their widgets wasn't working. On closer inspection, these mf's were hitting the r/sysadmin(!) RSS feed and pulling in new posts. Now, this is strictly business software we are dealing with. So while I can absolutely see why certain groups would value that feed, it was definitely the first I had ever seen such a thi
Bravo to you. This was absolutely the right call and I hope you let it rot if there isn't a massive change of direction. Frankly, for me, even if they do roll things back I am still done with them. P2P is how the internet should be (funny considering torrenting has been a thing for how long now?) and thankfully we have guys like you to step up and help get this off the ground. Thanks!
