Server memory change
Server seemed to be running slow so I changed some memory settings and rebooted it. Let me know if its not working as expected.
Dont forget declare war on Canada too.
Yes understand completely:)
Fair. I didnt check any of the other myths so some may well be myths. Just interesting to me that his opinion is stated as fact when its a bit of a grey area and one could easily interpret her to be the first programmer in some ways. Its not like a computer has to exist to write a computer program, for example, you can imagine a world where all computers are destroyed in an event but a surviving programmer can still write a computer program if you just handed them a stone tablet and charcoal. The non existence of a computer isnt a problem, and a computer program written in a textbook is also valid.
The mac osx is linux certainly is a less controversial myth.
The video claims ada lovelace did not write the first computer program but it would kind of depend how you define what that is. If you check wikipedia it states:
“During 1842–1849, Ada Lovelace translated the memoir of Italian mathematician Luigi Menabrea about Charles Babbage's newest proposed machine: the Analytical Engine; she supplemented the memoir with notes that specified in detail a method for calculating Bernoulli numbers with the engine, recognized by most of historians as the world's first published computer program.”
From : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_programming_languages
This would indicate its not a cut and dry as the youtuber suggests and also I would assume he is not a historian(no clue who he is) so its unclear why his opinion or definition of computer program should usurp that of most historians who would recognise a term may change over time and be less well defined initially when inspiring a new technology?

Yeah only 27%. I mean everyone I know thinks of them as an enemy. They betrayed Mexico, Canada and Ukraine already and its only February.
Just the one I like the most.
Some downtime today
Site will be down for the upgrade sometime today as I run the scripts we have and see what happens and then troubleshoot. Hopefully not too long.

lemmy.myserv.one reaches 99% uptime.
Today on 22 April 2024 lemmy.myserv.one reached >99% uptime. We are also in the top 350 most reliable lemmy servers now as measured by this site: https://lemmy.fediverse.observer/list - currently on page 11 if sorted by uptime.
The server is also now almost 1 year old. It will be 1 year on June 2024. Thanks for sticking with us!
Next goal is top 100 servers and/or 99.5% uptime.
Thanks everyone:)
Just good practice. Nothing more. Cant harm you to use a vpn.
Encrypted doesnt mean impossible to guess what it is. Your traffic to pornhub is encrypted. Your isp knows exactly what kind if content you are consuming when you download 1gb of data from pornhubs ip range.
Yes but changing audio and subs while technically could work is not well supported at this time.
Ah ok, to be fair Im an apple user.
Never replace the VPN dude
I didnt like it compared to uhf personally. Lacked polish imho.
Its has live tv and also video on demand. Kind of like how netflix works but with also a live tv selection in addition. That is what iptv is.
Im sure there are some that accept it. I dont remember all the options. You can just adk if they take it idk.
I dont understand your question. Can you elaborate?
I figured out how to make IPTV as easy as using Netflix so you dont have to
Disclaimer: Obviously this is for educational purposes only. I would personally never use my internet connection for anything illegal at all. I simply tested the below setup then deleted everything out of pure interest to understand how things worked and do not use any IPTV service. I love paying Netflix and other streaming platforms and will always support big companies and their profits.
So...
If you are like me and have a TV, and either a firestick or (in my case) an apple tv, where the users are used to just clicking with a remote into Netflix, switching to IPTV might be quite a struggle.
I have found what I now consider the perfect setup, easy enough for an 8 year old to use and required no intervention from users, no moaning "something has broken". Seamless and easy. Impossible? Not at all. And if you don't have an IPTV provider I can hook you up with one if you send me a DM message also (they have trials).
Requirements for this to work.

Upgrade to 0.19.1
Another apology to everyone.
I upgraded the instance to 0.19.1 today, and the upgrade unfortunately had a major issue. This caused the Database to become fairly broken and it has taken several hours to repair the damage and the database.
I have found the root cause of the issue and will be implementing some changes to the backup routine to avoid this issue in the future for future upgrades. This is thanks to some very welcome help from the admins on the Beehaw instance who are incredible and supportive.
As a result this will be improved and shouldnt happen again in the future when upgrading. I still need to run a vacuum on the postgres database but I will do this tomorrow, but there will be a 15 minute window tomorrow when the site is unresponsive while this is run.
Hopefully after that there are no more issues and the site can finally come back to being reliable again.
Kind regards,

Another appeal for admins
Unfortunately the server went offline today for approximately 12 hours. This is due to a deficiency in the backup routine, where if the vps hoster I use turns off the server/has an interruption, during the window of about 30 minutes where the backup runs then the script does not put everything back in place to ensure the server can start up again.
The good news is, this new issue that was not thought about should be resolvable with a reboot script, that uses an if or statement to check if the backup did do what it was supposed to and if not take some fairly simple logic to put things back as they should be.
In the next couple of weeks I will implement and test such a solution.
However it does raise another issue in that lemmy had some growth and then shrinking, that has stabilised and left us with a constant but slow increase in users, lost some of the admins that used to help check this server and they have abandoned their lemmy deployments for whatever reason and there are less
Follow up post on a question I asked
A short while ago I asked about a youtube alternative. While I was happy to try odyssey a small subset of commenters here were fairly cynical that any solution could be developed that could challenge a big company like YT and some even suggested just paying google.
This is the original question: https://lemmy.myserv.one/post/3116340
I am now happy to learn that in fact a solution has been developed which I will be trying. In fact it is presented in a YT video: https://youtu.be/5DePDzfyWkw?si=eMGHNGsxICcLmFOW
It warms my heart to see that solutions you difficult problems can be found and that we as thinking people and as humans still have the ultimate ability to change the course of the ship. I will be giving this new video app a try that similar to the messenger apps looks like it has a chance to begin the slow eroding of a single entity having all the content. Many years I am sure but feel like my question was answered even if not on Lemmy.
Thanks everyone:)
Youtube ads finally got me
Looks like its over for me and youtube. Being told I cant watch because of an ad blocker.
Where is everyone moving to and using instead of youtube? I will just move to the same place.

Upgraded server anyway
Server didn’t need more memory but I upgraded the memory anyway to 8gb just because I felt like it.
Members needed
This server is still very underutilised and I havent even had to upgrade to 8gb ram yet which is something I have been waiting for. Uptime is now continuously above 99% so if anyone has any friends they want to invite please do. The server doesnt take much work and is cheap and simple so no reason to fill it.
Any issues let me know. For pictures loading this will be improved when stable version of pictrs is released as I will change to image proxying. This is not currently supported in 4.0 and only arriving in 5.0.
Any other performance issues let me know. Im not aware of any.
Looking for admins from members on lemmy.myserv.one
In order to keep lemmy.myserv.one clean and the rest of the fediverse, it would be helpful to have members who are interested to assist in checking new user accounts that are created are not troll/spam accounts.
Currently when a new user signs up, an email is generated to admin staff with their username so that after a suitable delay we can review their comment history/posts and delete any user who is just a spambot or a troll looking to harm communities.
So far just one user has had to be removed in this way, but I expect there to be more as time goes on. In addition you may be contacted by other instances admins/mod teams from time to time via DM asking to ban a user if they have egregious behavior. This has never happened yet, but eventually one day I am sure it will.
If you are interested in helping please DM me so I can review your account (ie you are a normal person) and have been posting/using the server and have a vested interest in helping out.
Kind regards P
Downtime later tonight
Unfortunately there will be some downtime later as I work on optimisation of the database which is a problem for lemmy instances at the moment and will mean the site is inaccessible for an hour at some point later while I take a dig around and aee what O can change.
Maintenance time moved slightly
Maintenance time has been moved from 3AM daily to 3:16AM daily. Maintenance takes about 10 minutes. EDT time. This was done because I needed to script something else first. Tnx.
Upgraded email and security
To combat email issues over the past week I have upgraded the email setup and security so it will hopefully be more reliable.

Answering ‘what if you die’ questions
Currently this instance is run by just me, however there is currently an effort started to figure out what happens if I am away on holiday and there is an emergency/site down situation with other trusted instance admins.
It will be a long work in progress, starting simple but eventually enabling another trusted admin to do everything to get the server back online including start/stop the vps via api calls if it has died.
To begin with I am working on this with just 1 other admin for now - the admin from boulder.ly - who is creating a docker image that will allow us to connect to each other instances and resolve basic problems. This will be extended as we have time to add them.
Also I am having to create the workflow and documentation on what to do in various scenarios and the commands and processes and procedures to do them.
Eventually also (although not being worked on now) we will need to consider how bills are paid if another admin dies/drops off the face of the earth and ho
