Apologies to all for today’s performance issues and downtime.

Logging for our lemmy instance filled our main partition and brought everything to a halt. Our lemmy instance shares hardware with blahaj.zone, and the significant growth in lemmy over the last 10 days has caused the logs to grow in size exponentially! As a result of the logs filling up the main partition, both lemmy.blahaj.zone and blahaj.zone itself went down.

We’ve freed up some space, upgraded the hardware and spun everything up again, and it looks everything is back to normal.

Apologies for the inconvenience, and welcome back to everyone!

    Good to be back, and glad to hear it was only a slow hug-of-death. Any consideration in upgrading the server version to 17.4?

    Edit: are there any alternative channels where server status is posted?

      Yep. That’s on the radar. We’re trying to get a kbin instance up and running too, and we’ll most likely upgrade lemmy once that has been done.

      are there any alternative channels where server status is posted?

      Not yet. A week ago, it was basically just me on this instance. Now it’s me and my 1400 closest friends :)
