We’re going to try to make the leap forward today. There will be some downtime while we attempt to do this. Rollback will be around 3pm if things are not working as expected.

      I will hold my hands up: I went from “we should do this soon” to “oh, that’s not too horrible” to “ok, let’s do it” in the space of about 30 minutes.

      Really, I should have stickies the post for an hour or so!

      Emperor is talking about some cool custom error pages, which much improve things going forward.

    Thanks for your continued service.

    Any idea what’s up with the response times? I was thinking there may be some ongoing conversion operation but it still seems somewhat slower than before. Unless the reporting has changed.

      The newer versions are slower, though I don’t know exactly how much by.
      I could definitely feel it when going between 19.4 and 19.5 mid upgrade (unless the quick switch caused the slowness!)

      We’re now federating more (as the newer version supports more things between instances)

      We’re also caching and resizing images too, so the server load is roughly 3 times higher.
      (This may not continue).

      We may do a restart once we’re confident that things are stable. As it’s possible that a little weirdness crept in!

    This has now been completed :)

    Other than me missing that Lemmy does not like jumping multiple versions in one go (which does make sense), and a few issues with files not deleting, we are now running 19.5.

    You can now see a list of images you have uploaded in your profile (and delete them if required).

    Any bugs/issues, post it in this thread.

    Thanks! Did @[email protected] speak to you about the rate limiting? Since the upgrade I’ve been rate limited on my own account which hasn’t happened before (I was getting it with bots when I spoke to Emperor previously). The limit seems to be set to one post every 15 mins, which seems a bit low.
