Yes, there is: 0.18.2-rc.1, which has the hot fix, but will also require a DB query to “fix” the modlog once upgraded.

Same!

Also the source of a great meme!

There are so many great episodes to chose from. Since most of the ones I’d pick have already been listed by others, here are my favorites that haven’t been mentioned yet:

• Time’s Arrow
• Cause and Effect
• Relics
• Data’s Day

Time’s Arrow is such a great two-parter, I’m surprised no one has mentioned it yet!

For me it’s 3AM rewatching a Star Trek series I’ve already watched many times (in this case, Voyager), knowing full well my work day starts in 5 hours.

Is there anything Grafana cant do?

I have so many things pumping data “into” Grafana these days I’m surprised they haven’t tried to force me to pay for an enterprise license.

Anyway, thanks for sharing these, @ruud@lemmy.world. As a performance engineer, I love to see this level of detail and commitment on your part to keep the user experience for lemmy.world at acceptable levels.

Sorry I didn’t get a chance to look at this, but I’m mostly on mobile and the link doesn’t work.

For future reference you can put it in a code block and lemmy-ui should be able to render it for you.

Example code block

I recommend using the docker images directly. As you see, the ansible scripts are basically another abstraction layer used to build the docker containers and their configs (and has string substitutions like {{some_string}} which are not valid for docker-compose.yml). Some will disagree but I feel ansible adds unnecessary complexity to deploying lemmy containers.

Anyway, glad you figured it all out!

Hi there! This sounds like you might just have a typo in your docker-compose.yml file. It might be helpful if you posted your docker-compose.yml contents here (be sure to remove any sensitive information).

Line 26 of my docker-compose.yml file is the volume block/map for letsencrypt. Did you perhaps mix tabs and spaces, or have one too many spaces in your indentations, in your yaml file? That’s a no-no…

Personally, I setup my instance using the same guide as you, opting for the docker containers. There were definitely a few pitfalls to deal with.

As a Performance Engineer myself, these are the kind of performance improvements I like to see. Those graphs look wonderful. Nice job to all.

Hi there!

TL;DR: probably have an nginx misconfiguration. Check the nginx logs for errors.

You don’t need to install and run nginx on the host. It has its own container in the docker-compose.yml which gets started up on docker-compose up -d

If both instances of nginx are trying to bind to the same port, one will start and one will fail.

Is the lemmy proxy nginx docker container running? Check with: docker ps or docker container ls. If the lemmy nginx proxy container isn’t running, try stopping the host instance of nginx (systemctl nginx stop) and restart docker lemmy (docker-compose down, docker-compose up -d), the try to access your site again.

I think the safest option is to not host from your home network. If you aren’t up to date on security patches, you could potentially expose a lot of data from an insecure server running inside your network.

There are precautions you can take, like isolating any external facing servers from the rest of your network, for example, but I generally recommend using a hosted service instead.

From a real-world perspective, I suspect that the headskirts were originally created to avoid creating a full head prosthetic for guest actors. Once the character of Quark was created, the cost of a reusable full head prosthetic would have been less prohibitive.

Your suspicion is correct. Several behind the scenes videos and past producers have confirmed this as the main reason. Not only cost, but time needed to do the full head makeup.

I turned that off, as well as show online status, years ago.

Great write up!

Huzzah!

Commenting to bookmark this for future reference! Great write up. I’ll likely try this on my instance at some point.

Also testing to see if my comment shows up…

I ended up nuking my Postgres DB, and recreating that container from scratch. Not sure what went wrong, but it feels like some data in the DB when upgrading from 0.17.4 to 0.18.0 perhaps broke stuff? 🤷‍♂️

Is… is that a photoshopped nail?

Hahahah no you aren’t! I’m just too addicted to startrek and refreshing like a madman for no reason.

BTW, that SNW banner is awesome.

Great! Sorry, I guess I missed the announcement that was happening.

Nice example of why federation is so great. While the site was down I could still look at my startrek community subs from my instance.
