Hey mateys, as I mentioned earlier I have been forced to migrate the Database to a new server as it grew out of the previous location I had it.
This is why we had around 20 minutes downtime just now. Fortunately this is the only downtime I’ve had to do so things seem to be running smoothly. Likewise we’ve fortunately been spared from fediverse drama lately, so the personal time requirements are still low.
The new database also gives us plenty of space to grow so things should stay stable for a while until I have to consider more upgrades. Unfortunately it also means that the cost of running this instance have also increased, so I’m increasing the 6-months goal I’ve set.
Please consider donating a grog or subscribing to the instance costs here: https://ko-fi.com/db0/goal?g=77 and you can get you own personal custom emoji for your troubles :)
I love this place. Thank you so much!
