V17 has been a disaster. This could in part be caused by active Lemmyverse users increasing by a factor of 20 in the last month. It could also be some of the new instances we federated with trying some funky stuff.
In any case I know the devs are working very hard. I have never seen do many different people contributing to the development effort.
So despite these scaling problems, the future looks bright.
I had a look at github and it seems the sheer increase in volume of users has exposed problems/bottlenecks that were previously not apparent.
They are fixing as many as they can for v18 which some people are estimating is a couple of weeks, but there are a lot of issues to be fixed, do it could be longer.
My plan is to upgrade a couple of weeks after v18 is released to make sure any new issues are not introduced.
I think it is the most I can do to try and make them happy.
Even if their instance did defederate Exploding Heads, they could still see Exploding Heads content if they visited another instance that is federated.
Personally I’m of the mind that all drugs should be decriminalized and we should have a more practical approach to medicine. We need the education to be there though to turn people off, and the Healthcare to be there for easily avaliable treatment.
You missed the fine print.
Must support the preferred left wing narrative of the day in order to believed - otherwise will be trashed.
That does not sound good
The server is running a lot smoother today compared to yesterday. I have been doing a lot of small things tonight.
Good news, these tweaks have fixed the cpu spikes and the Disk i/o spikes.
You should be seeing better performance.
Still researching what is causing the images not to display.

It was configured to a much larger machine. So I plugged in the specs for my linode and updated it.
I also upgraded to V17.4 even though that breaks images for some reason.
I figured better to be up and running smoothly with no images, then up and down all the time.
I will watch the server today and see if it performs better and let you know.
Fingers crossed.
I have made a few tweaks and turned federation back on.
Images will be down for a few days while I keep working on this
Yeah I have been up working on it since 2am this morning.
Not much to show for my efforts yet sadly.
Onwards and upwards we go.
Me too.
V16 was very very stable for us.

Bring on V18

I have enabled down votes again.
Having them disabled did not seem to make a difference to the server.
Don't know. It has been happening since the upgrade
We are getting big CPU spikes every hour or so.
Not sure why
Nicely said.
I think it works, but I guess we will find out.
So do you want me to block you now or see how it goes?

I 100% support this position:
This change is more due to his 2024 primary battle with Trump.
Best if you don't.
Why upset people unnecessarily?
Agreed
