What am I missing here? Why can't I unlock everything?
I had the same issue last season, am I doing something wrong?

This seems reasonable to me?
If you're running it that way you still can, they're just not going to accept bug reports or have end user docs anymore. All the developer docs will still cover it.
It's an open source project and they need to focus their energy on known good configs.
I can confirm that if they did ban you, that ban information wasn't federated out. There's no mod actions in the lemmy.ca DB for you from that instance.
Subspace, also known as Continuum later in its life.
Oh man I thought that was the needle, not a toothpick. Suddenly this makes sense.
The toothpick is to provide spacing for the button, then you pull it out as you wrap the thread around underneath it.
We don't blame you for your leader, just don't say stupid maga shit and you'll be fine.
Many people on lemmy just read everything and block subs they don't want, rather than sub to what they do want. Subscriber count might not mean that much.

The load wasn't causing any issues, I was just getting ahead of it. I'm not worried about deploying countermeasures yet.

I might try out anubis on old.lemmy.ca specifically, since bots seem to love it the most
Too many IPs, so I did it by ASN at cloudflare.

There's just no way we have thousands of legitimate but logged out users browsing old.lemmy.ca from their phone in China.
Cloudflare tries, but bots do a pretty good job looking like regular users these days. There's some more advanced "AI" solutions that learn based on existing traffic patterns, but I've been out of that space for a while so not sure what the latest tech is.
I sample every 15s so just multiply the graph numbers by 4
Hello all and Happy Thanksgiving!
A few people have asked how the server is doing and I've been meaning to post some metrics for a while.
We're running on a "Advance-1 Gen 2" server with OVH hosted in Beauharnois, Quebec. This is a 6 core xeon 2386G with 32gb of ram and 2x 512gb nvme ssd's (raid 1). It's also ended up being pretty overkill for what we need so we may want to consider downgrading in the future, but it's relatively inexpensive ($130/mo) for what it is.
We store image uploads on OVH Object Storage, consuming about 430gb.
CPU peaks at barely 10%:
Similarly most of our RAM just gets used for filesystem caching. The pattern you see is due to a cronjob I have in place that restarts lemmy each night at 3am PT, since it seems to leak memory for us.
A few weeks ago we migrated our pict-rs over to OVH's object storage platform, so our disk needs are pretty minimal.
and with postgres basically just keeping the working DB in memory, disk IO is mostly just writes:
Database throughput shows some interesting activity happening for the past few days, but I just noticed and haven't dug into who/what might be causing this.
but still performance is fine with most queries returning in under 100ms
Lemmy tends to return 4xx errors hence the high error rates from nginx:
Most of our traffic is still ipv4:
Lastly, we use cloudflare as a caching proxy and ddos protection layer in front of our server. They absorb about 64% of our bandwidth usage:
Let me know if there's anything else you're curious about!
Hello everyone!
I'll be working on migrating our image uploads from local files over to object store this Sunday starting at about 11am PT.
This may require extended lemmy.ca downtime as pict-rs has to be stopped while the migration happens, but I'm hoping I can keep things running as read-only and run the migration off a second instance.
Updates will be posted here - https://status.lemmy.ca/maintenance/257501
The sun was invented by big sunscreen in the 20's.
The fact that so many plants have adapted to thrive on it in only 100 years, is nothing short of amazing.
