It was actually to do with docker rather than postgres itself. Docker limits shared memory to 64MB, and postgres died when it couldn’t allocate more. I saw this in the test server as well, but I didn’t want to assume so I waited to see it in production before applying the fix.
The error was something about failed to allocate disk space, the solution was to add shm_size: 1GB to the docker compose section for lemmy’s postgres.
This says there are fat naked mole rats, but it says their role is to connect to other naked mole rats communities by digging when the ground is soft from rain. That’s quite different from the claim that their role is to block the tunnels to stop them flooding.
A very good point!
Not OP, I couldn’t find a paper. Just this site that makes the same claim almost word for word, and cites a youtube video of a lecture at Stanford. I didn’t watch the video, but this seems best described as a “plausible” explanation rather than a proven fact.

It’s good to hear you are aware of it and in contact with Nothing4You.
It unfortunately doesn’t have an obvious solution, and seems there’s no consensus yet. See the github issue. So I wouldn’t hold my breath on getting an update to fix it any time soon. Also LW are always careful about updates, often taking months to upgrade. They should be especially careful when it’s an upgrade to change how federation works.
The work to install the batcher isn’t that bad. The software is all there, you just add a container to your Lemmy stack and then run an ansible playbook to set up the remote VPS automatically. It was the first time I’d used ansible properly and it wasn’t too hard.
Nothing4You can hold your hand through it, it’s worth doing!
That’s honestly pretty amazing that you’ve been here a year and haven’t seen a troll! Though you’re on an instance with a very active and determined admin, there is definitely a difference in how much you see between instances because of how removals work.
Me as an instance admin sitting here reading about how Lemmy doesn’t have trolls and Russian bots, while I’m in a chat with other instance admins and mods where we need to actively coordinate to fight the trolls and Russian bots 😐
From what I’ve seen, they aren’t building the games, they are licensing existing ones. There are decent games in the mix.
Thanks! I did pictrs some time back when I was setting up the cache cleaner that needed pictrs 0.5. And then in anticipation of this update I did the postgres 16 update a week or two back.
I know the instructions say you have to dump and import the database, but postgres supports an in-place upgrade. I used this helper container: https://github.com/pgautoupgrade/docker-pgautoupgrade
Basically you swap the postgres image to this one and set the tag to the version you want, then recreate the container, watch the logs until it’s done, shut it down, and swap the tags to the new postgres image and recreate the container again. It handles the magic and it happens really quickly.
Hey on another note, do you know your federation with Lemmy.world is super far behind and you’re losing content because Lemmy stops trying when activities are over a week old? We had the same issue a while back but managed to solve it with a Finland VPS that batches the activities to send them. I’m happy to point you to someone who can help if you’re interested!
I’m hoping so!
Yes, definitely. Perhaps highlighted if it’s one of their first few posts or the account is new.
Beta is the wrong word, but there is quite a difference in stability between Fedora and Debian.
Yeah, it might be easy to install but you are also a beta tester of things that will be in more stable distros two years from now.
But with that said, I love Fedora, but with Gnome. I use Nobara for the gaming simplicity but with the vanilla Gnome spin. I’d recommend it to anyone, most Linux distros these days are pretty user friendly once installed.
I am convinced this is already happening. One example is the endless new accounts posting ibtimes links.
There are also propoganda websites posted regularly by new accounts (especially sowing disinformation about Russia’s war on Ukraine).
Basically be wary of anything posted where it’s their first post. Often they make accounts and don’t use them for months so they look older.
I also think astroturfing is happening but at lower rate than reddit.
Like you, I have no idea how we can counter this at scale.
Oh I didn’t thing about access points. With something like ZigBee, the switches add to the network range. But for WiFi, each switch will need to be in range of an access point. We have pretty decent coverage but the benefit of using ZigBee is other devices can take advantage of the extended network.
Others have talked about Zwave, I’m not sure which camp they sit in.
I thought barometers were initially included to help with location. Air pressure isn’t just for weather, it also helps work out your altitude.
