I want to update Lemmy-UI to fix a couple of bugs and update the backend to hopefully fix the federation issues.
Before doing that, of course, I want to make a snapshot to be able to revert!
Hopefully all goes well :)
This is in 30minutes from now for those bad with time!
it me
Snapshots are my least favorite operations operation. It takes a long time, blocks other work, and you have to name your snapshots
The two hardest tasks to get right in computer science are cache invalidation and naming stuff.
Really couldn’t agree more. Though - I do not name my snapshots, I let DO just put beehaw-whatever time since we only want them like, one day after max because otherwise we just lose TONs of data.
The
whateverpart is the part I have challenges with. I always went with a simple date-based number strings
How are you running Beehaw? At least on my Proxmox VMs I can take a snapshot in a few seconds thanks to ZFS having it built in and QEMU guest agent letting the host ensure the guest is properly stopped quickly.
We’re running things on a Digital Ocean droplet.
Just wanted to tell you both good luck. We’re all counting on you.
It’s already done but thank you!
It was a reference to Leslie Nielsen’s line in “Airplane”.
P.S. And don’t call me “Shirley”.
I’ve never watched this movie but ok, Shirley.
(did I do it right?)
Oh man… You’ve got to watch it! During the next server upgrade maybe?
Well, if I’m watching it, does that mean it’s okay if y’all are suffering the downtime? 👉 👈
Just want to double check, but what date will this be happening? Will it be on 4 July? It might help to clarify in the title with the date in addition to time.
It has already happened, will modify title.
