Blahaj Lemmy Meta

I fillout all of the fields & nothing happens when I hit create?

Recently I was browsing some communities I typically hang out in and I started noticing Hexbear accounts being... well their typical selves.

Which made me check which account I was on because I've got a few, and when I noticed I was on my Blahaj account I had to check and it looks like we're federated again?

Why?

Hey all,

Having trouble uploading an avatar. Is there some file size limit or something? Thanks!

I'm not sure if this is a local issue, but I'm not able to load any thumbnail images. I keep getting a connection timed out.

Example URL: https://pictrs.blahaj.zone/pictrs/image/d3046f30-72da-4798-aacf-a5809e6872bd.jpeg?format=webp&thumbnail=256

Posting this is anyone is having similar experience today, or has advice.

There are a number of posts that I have seen, namely nsfw posts, that I like but don't want stuck at the top of my scroll when going through.

I like the posts so I don't want to block the user, so it's there any way for me to hide the posts?

So I was about to make a post with 5 images but remembered that sometimes there's issues with them here sooo would it be safe to just host them on this server or would it be better or preferable to host them somewhere else? And if so, any recommendations?

My main worries are the images taking too long to load or not loading at all which I've seen happen on new posts/comments and on very old ones and also taking up space on the server because I guess at some point it would need more storage and to load more stuff but I might just be being silly x3

We're currently in the process of migrating our pict-rs service (the thing responsible for storing media/images/uploads etc) to the new infrastructure.

This involves an additional step of moving our existing file-based storage to object storage, so this process will take a little time.

New images/uploads may not work properly during this migration, however existing images should continue to load. We expect this migration to take about an hour.

[EDIT]

Migration has completed.

685,271 files / 153.38 GB were migrated. Copying to object storage took about 1.5 hours. Starting service back up on new server and debugging took another 30 minutes.

Timeline:

• Migration started at 2023-10-01 22:43 UTC.
• [+1h32m] Objects finished uploading to object storage at 2023-10-02T00:15 UTC.
• [+2h06m] Migration was completed at 2023-10-02 00:46 UTC.

the HTML is close to the emptiest it could be while being valid HTML. Pretty much the only thing there is a reference to a css stylesheet. The server obviously still works, but the frontend on the website is gone entirely.

Edit: It seems to work now

Follow up on a previous post: [DISCUSS] Recent momentary outages

I've been working on a simple opt-in solution, primarily for Lemmy end users like me (but also helpful for admins), to easily check the status/health of their favourite instance.

🌎 lemmy-meter.info

You can find the details of the implementation in lemmy-meter github repo.

❓ @admins: would you be interested in adding your instance to lemmy-meter?

You don't need to do anything except confirming - I'll handle the rest. It should only take a few minutes for your instance to show up in lemmy-meter.

Out of the box it will send only 4 HTTP GET requests per minute to your instance. However that is totally configurable if it sounds too much or too little.

PS: I wasn't sure how to reach out to the admins short of messaging them individually.

have i said how much i'm glad blahaj lemmy/misskey exists and how amazing the admins are today?

I seem to get a ton of errors while trying to upload a profile picture. The console keeps throwing CORS errors.

I'm using latest Chrome and just use the official website (so no weird client or third-party website)

I'm on mobile and I was wondering if anyone had a link for the community matrix chat? Is there one. I can't get the calckey instance to load right now to find it.

It’s just an instance of reposting reddit links. These showed up in my All feed sorted by Hot even though there’s zero interaction. It just feels like spam.

I have noticed quite a bit of delays on the frontend, not mad as I understand a ton migration stuff has been happening just wanted to check if I was alone in my expereince.

I just wanted to appreciate all the works all the mods do on this instance! I took a look out of curiosity earlier and was shocked how many things had been removed or banned just within the last hour! Holy shit you guys are hard at work keeping this place awesome! I appreciate, so much more than I know how to express, all the work you all do! 😄🥰

Other people comment like they can see them. I thought it was from reading via a different instance but it still happens reading directly on blahaj. It doesn't matter if my VPN is on or not. I'm running in an app so there's no ad blocker

Any ideas?

If you are a mod on an active community hosted on Blåhaj Lemmy and would like to join our matrix room, please send me a DM with your Matrix ID

This room will mostly be used to aid moderation, but also to give space for communication with the admins etc, however all of the existing contact channels remain as well

Blåhaj Lemmy will be down for database migration to the new servers in approximately 1.5 hours from now (06:00 UTC).

Downtime is estimated at under an hour.

I will have more details on the maintenance page during the migration and update the status as the migration progresses.

@DroneRights@lemm.ee I’m a chaser and came on to you? Despite telling you I had a partner in the same message? I’m sorry, but you’re just not that interesting. It was a joke because you had a PM_ME username. But yeah, now you’ve accused a trans person of being a chaser. What next? I’m glad the 196 mods saw through your application, yikes.

@HardlightCereal@lemmy.world @HardlightCereal@lemmy.ml @PM_ME_FAT_ENBIES@lemmy.blahaj.zone @clueless_stoner@lemmy.world @poVoq@slrpnk.net You all need to sort this out because I am livid at being accused of being a bloody chaser by some troll when I’m a trans woman, then getting a permanent ban from lemmy.world for trying to alert the admin of a third instance. Clueless Stoner? You sure are, you make us other stoners look switched on by comparison.

There have been users spamming CSAM content in !lemmyshitpost@lemmy.world causing it to federate to other instances. If your instance is subscribed to this community, you should take action to rectify it immediately. I recommend performing a hard delete via command line on the server.

I deleted every image from the past 24 hours personally, using the following command: sudo find /srv/lemmy/example.com/volumes/pictrs/files -type f -ctime -1 -exec rm {} \;

I was trying to change my profile picture this morning and found myself unable to change it.

All of my attempts to upload a new one are met with no feedback and no updated picture.

I had one before but I removed the old one thinking that was the road block but no dice.

Any solution is greatly appreciated

Keep up the great work 👍

Image posts from startrek.website don't seem to load when they appear on my timeline, to see them I need to go in the thread and open the image in a separate tab as a direct link.

Here's a screenshot of how !risa@startrek.website looks to me:

This happens only when I view its content from blahaj, if I visit the website directly everything looks fine.

Edit: Ok, I also tried accessing risa though lemmy.ml and the result is the same, but if I try though feddit.de then it works fine.

Edit2: The problem was Ublock origin, I'm not sure how but tinkering with it fixed the issue.

I'm from Connecticut and dropping by for a day trip today (August 26th.)

Hello I am wanting to shid post gifs or vids, but I do not do it correctly.

Adding them like you do with pictures makes gifs not show up, webms try to download as a file while also not showing up, and mp4s cause “SyntaxError: JSON Parse error: Unexpected identifier “Request”. I know these problems are not site admin’s fault, as you are not JSON.

What is the correct way? So they work like the pics do. (I use web browser to access)

Thanks!
