Great work, great transparency, as always - great job @[email protected]
No problem!
Just so you know this has been reported and is a known issue (happens to me on the browser as well). Presumably, it is due to Lemmy’s use of websockets for API requests, which has its issues for this particular application.
This has been addressed in version 0.18.0 as, among quite a few other changes, an HTTP API is now in place for API requests which will (should) resolve this issue.
Lemmy.world is currently on back end version 0.17.4 which still uses websockets. You can see this at the bottom of every page. The reason for this is that version 18 removed the ability to use Captcha for account registration. Given the size of the instance and its rapidly growing user base, and the fact that we are still accepting registrations, we simply must have the ability to leverage Captchas to mitigate the bot spam signups, which has been an issue.
We have tested the 0.18.1rc build (non-official release) in order to try and get this new functionality as soon as possible, but as you can see in the post 18.1 needs some time to bake still - at least for large instances.
This is definitely being discussed among the admin/mod team and we will be upgrading as soon as we realistically can while providing a stable - usable - experience.
The Lemmyverse site is good. There is also https://browse.feddit.de which I have used to find a few smaller communities from instances that don't show up on my own home instance (Lemmy.world). Then I can search the specific community name on lemmy.world which makes it visible for anyone else on my instance to find going forward from the main community search.
Thank you for the detailed reply and thoughts! This is definitely helpful information and you make very good points.
but from what I can find the DS420J doesn’t support docker?!
You know, it’s funny. I have been considering taking the dive into Docker for some time, just to learn how it works and leverage its capabilities. I could have sworn I’ve seen a Docker app in Package Center previously, but when I just checked - no results. Interestingly, their documentation seems to include the DS420j as an approved model. I anticipate this is because I am still on DSM 6 and it is only currently supported on DSM 7. So, this is still something to consider. I appreciate the suggestion.
that external device would be online all the time your server would be online, adding to your overall power consumption and might not even be designed to run all the time.
Yeah, this is one of my concerns with moving it to be over USB. I mean, the SSD is already in the NAS (and is not a NAS grade SSD by any means, just an extra I had) so I don’t necessarily think the uptime will be an issue as I have a backup in case it dies anyway - more of how the added power and data translation that will have to occur and its effects. Might be a total non-issue. I suppose the only way to really know is to test it and find out :)
To your final paragraph - That is a great point and part of the reason I wanted to make this post. The primary reason I want to go with the second 8TB is that, due to SRH, I can have no wasted space with the 6x6x8x8 configuration and enough additional space to last me until I am ready to upgrade to a more mid range box with large drives. Since I want to use it to expand the primary volume for more Plex storage, I don’t know that an external drive is going to do the trick even if I can swap drives out (though as noted, maybe with Docker. I will definitely be looking into that more). The downside to the RAID though and my current drive sizes is definitely that, yeah, I can’t just buy a giant drive and throw it in there to solve the problem.
Thanks again for the reply!
Great video. Louis is one of us.
Thanks for posting this over here. I otherwise wouldn't have known this was going on. As I used a mostly lurker account for game day threads I wasn't going to bother with a data request. It's a whole different story if we can inundate them though. Request submitted. o7
God I wish I could upvote this, but after about 5 minutes of trying to get it to stick, I will leave this comment instead. Well played ;)
Totally agree, I have a feeling the Reds are about to be hot for many years with all the younguns showing up. This year though, it is definitely still anyones division to take. The next 6 weeks up to the deadline will be very interesting indeed!
Also, see my post here. As well as Ruud's recent post here for full details. You shouldn't need to block these accounts anymore (if it is even doing anything currently, I am not sure it is) once we are on 0.18.1. Hopefully tomorrow.
