Curious if there is a specific update schedule when the site goes down for maintenance/when the latest releases are loaded or if it's ad-hoc?

Really a question for @[email protected], but, If the last update was a guide: new version gets released, another instance (usually lemmy.world as they have a large well-funded infrastructure) jumps on it and updates, everyone waits to see if something breaks and then most of the big instances install it.

I'd imagine, if there was a patch for a critical security loophole, then all the admins would move quickly on it but it'd also likely be quite a small patch so relatively easy to do without disrupting the business as usual.

Do you know if this is a single admin instance? I've noticed some issues gong back a month or so and @[email protected] hasn't posted in over 2 weeks.

I don't know the answer to that.

I’ve noticed some issues gong back a month or so and @[email protected] hasn’t posted in over 2 weeks.

Technically, as long as he keeps the lights on and installs updates then he doesn't have to post much.

Yeh it is a single admin instance, I'm going to look to add a few more admins this week as we really should have more than one

Thanks for the information.

It's a good idea because life happens (I had a friend who woke up in hospital with a fractured skull caused by eating lasagne), so I am trying to get two mods on the various communities I've started, which is hardly mission critical like the instance.

Now that sounds like story...

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

That is pretty much the story.

As best as he can piece together he was sorting out the evening meal and, classic dad move, was eating while dishing everything out. Took a bite of his lasagne (notoriously the hottest of all the Italian foods), fainted, banged his head on the kitchen tiles and woke up later on in hospital with a fractured skull.

The moral of the story is: lasagne can kill.
