was lemmy.sdf.org down for you? the outage was reported several times on bboard, but judging by the admin response, it seems like there never was any problem.

It wasn't just Lemmy. Even sdf.org was inaccessible (not responding to ping either). Perhaps admin just checked from local network.

where were you during the great content famine of 2026?

[–] CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org 7 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Definitely not cheating on the instance. /s

[–] goferking0@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 6 months ago

I just wish I could say the other instance didn't also have performance issues

[–] notptr@lemmy.sdf.org 5 points 6 months ago

Rendering animated content.

[–] lambalicious@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 6 months ago

The second one or the third one?

Oh, yeah, about that. My bouncer is logged in, but I haven't set up my client since I formatted my laptop well over a month ago...

[–] pmjv@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 6 months ago (1 children)

i just said "i'm getting the content shakes, man, if i dont post anything in the next 3 months, i will probably die."

It was down since Friday, and last time looked into it was getting name server errors. So maybe issues with the provider it runs on?

[–] pmjv@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 6 months ago (1 children)

well, I don't know about that, but i reported it on sdf's irc in #helpdesk, where it was corroborated that there was an issue with the certs, but that it was also broken beyond.

[–] goferking0@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 6 months ago

I really need to get setup to connect there. Always forget until after it's dowm

I feel like this might warrant the consideration of some response by the union.

[–] MistressRemilia@lemmy.sdf.org 6 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I cleared the browser cache, tried on two machines, and also logged out/back-in with Jerboa. Nothing. It's gotta be on the server side.

[–] qrstuv@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Try turning off your norton.

[–] MistressRemilia@lemmy.sdf.org 5 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Is there a Slackware package for that?

[–] qrstuv@lemmy.sdf.org 5 points 6 months ago

That's not on the official supported list, so I don't know what that is and can't assist you further.

As chief Funhole moderator, does that make you the president of F.U.C.C. or are you considered to be in a management role?

I am taking crazy pills, but also we were down.

[–] pmjv@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 6 months ago

far out, man

[–] MistressRemilia@lemmy.sdf.org 6 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I really wish the admins would actually use Lemmy themselves, even if it's just a tab they check every few days in their browser to make sure it's not dead or hasn't stopped federating. Feels subpar.

[–] pmjv@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 6 months ago (2 children)

should someone volunteer to report the image issue? :')

[–] MistressRemilia@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 6 months ago (1 children)
[–] pmjv@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 6 months ago
[–] user224@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 6 months ago

At this point I feel too guilty to even mention it when Lemmy has issues, as it is frequent. I just wait and see what happens.

[–] CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org 5 points 6 months ago (1 children)

It looks like federation is still catching up, too.

[–] lambalicious@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 6 months ago (3 children)

Any means to check on progress? I'm interested in seeing if it'll catch up on a weekly thread I usually participate on before the week of the thread ends.

I just sort all subscribed communities by new.

[–] pmjv@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 6 months ago

You can go to All/New and see if there are any posts made by users from foreign instances (and when they were made).

alternatively you can try to open one of our local comunities through a foreign instance and see if the local recent posts show up.

[–] dis_honestfamiliar@lemmy.sdf.org 5 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Was giving me errors the entire weekend. Also what's Bboard?

[–] pieguy@lemmy.sdf.org 8 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

BBOARD is the bulletin board system accessible when you SSH in to the "real" SDF

[–] goferking0@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 6 months ago (1 children)

And based on current feed, it's been out of sync for a while since world so far behind 🙃

[–] 6jarjar6@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 6 months ago (3 children)

How much storage do I need to run my own Lemmy server at home?

[–] ThorrJo@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 6 months ago

I dunno but I'm fixin' to find out. currently provisioning a couple Proxmox hosts.

although... I might choose Piefed.

It was out long enough for me to create my own lemmy instance in frustration.

The xmpp server also seems to be out of date. Conversations can't connect to it.

[–] qrstuv@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 6 months ago (8 children)

Gaslighting is a huge red flag.
