Hello,

while preparation our upcoming Lemmy update we're also be updating to a newer database version, which will provide additional performance benefits and functionality.

We are planning for around 10 minutes of downtime for the database update between 19:00-19:30 UTC on 22nd of February. This is not yet the planned Lemmy update, we will be announcing that separately when we are ready.

edit: You can convert this to your local time here: https://inmytime.zone/?iso=2025-02-22T19%3A00%3A00.000Z

edit 2: The database upgrade has been completed successfully.

A friend of mine never uses UTC. What an idiot. Seriously, what a dumbass. Somone one should tell him what time that would be in EST. God, he's so dumb.

a link has been added for your friend

[–] YamahaRevstar 23 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Thanks. What a stupid dork he is.

[–] PlasticExistence 11 points 23 hours ago (2 children)

Hey, don’t be so hard on him. His account is only 16 days old.

You shouldn’t take advantage of her, it’s not fair

Wait, a minute...

[–] WhiskyTangoFoxtrot 6 points 19 hours ago

Is that a UTC minute or an EST minute?

[–] [email protected] -2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I'd be pleased if a time was also mentioned that relates to the local server time; and I don't even care which time zone. I can convert from all five zones way faster than loading a javascript-tainted URL, cursing, going back, reopening in a private window, enabling js, reloading, closing.

No worries though.

local server time is UTC.

time in UTC is included both in the title and the post itself.

[–] Serinus 7 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

In the winter, we're -5. In the summer, we're -4. Winter and summer being defined as when the clocks change for daylight savings.

It's good to know even if you just have a link sometimes.

Edit: This is just from my memory. It could be more complicated than this.

[–] jagged 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Isn’t it more like -4 for a couple of weeks in spring and autumn?

[–] Serinus 1 points 1 day ago

You know, I'll edit and make it clear that I don't know what I'm talking about. You might be right.

[–] Perhyte 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

EST is UTC-5, so tell your friend that it'll be between 14:00-14:30 EST on the 22nd of February.

[–] YamahaRevstar 7 points 1 day ago

My stupid idiot friend says thanks. What a real ding dong
