Broken emojo caused site outage, (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

I have a process which copies emojos from the hajkey blahaj.zone site to our lemmy.

Last night (for me) it copied an invalid emojo into the database and it broke lemmy for hours while Ada and I were sleeping.

I've found the issue and fixed it now, so everything should be purring along once again, but for those who were left without the instance to use, I sincerely apologise.

blobcat, sorry

It wasn't an actual emojo. The script processed the SQL header column names as an emojo and tried to add them. Unfortunately publicUrl is not a valid URL, so lemmy's /api/v3/site metadata endpoint started returning an error relative URL without a base instead of the JSON that the website was expecting and so the site just stopped working for everyone the next time it tried to load that url.

This coincided with me resetting my password, and I thought I brought down the site somehow
