19.4 upgrade

cross-posted from: https://feddit.uk/post/13242302

Hello, I'm hoping to take the instance to 19.4 in the near future.
Before doing this, I need to take pictrs up a few versions.
This will take a while, so while 19.4 is in the works, it won't happen for a week or so.

Cheers, GA.

Pictrs will take a long time, unfortunately.

It's partly on me: I'd been putting off the upgrade due to the time required for almost half a TB of images.

But of course, the longer I procrastinated, the longer it took!

We took about 34 hours, iirc.

Flamingos handled it (which was so appreciated), and it was run on a lot of threads.

Let us know if you want to check anything.

Yeah it looks like Pictrs is broken.

I'm upgrading my own instance slowly too and pictrs has been a pain. So far its been upgrading for a day and still going!
