Thank you, beautifully said! When federation between Lemmy instances was finally implemented and people started forming their own instances, I decided to take part in that despite not having extensive system administration experience. I also wanted to experiment. Now I have thought that my intention for Sopuli is to be an alternative to the shitty corporate social media platforms you described – and looks like this has taken off very well in the last few years. Good to hear that I am doing something inspiring and beneficial.

That's our defence minister Antti Häkkänen, who is here participating remotely in a Nato-Ukraine council meeting with other defence ministers.

Not a minor bug, I just decided to put random things as taglines for the instance, such as that one quote from some Lemmygrad user. Just for fun.

As the instance's owner and admin, there was a server migration that lasted for a day and nearly 8 hours. And yes, [email protected] and my Mastodon are good places to check out regarding Sopuli's status.

I can't pin my own replies, but I can mark them with "speaking as an admin".

This makes a good feature request to make at Lemmy's GitHub: add a feature for pinning messages in a thread.

There's a Patreon page?

 

Hello there! Because of performance problems and latency I arrived at a conclusion that moving to a dedicated server would be the better option for Sopuli in the long run. I looked at Hetzner's server auction page and got one from Germany with beefy specs: Intel's Core i9 processor, 64 GB of RAM and two 512 SSD's in a RAID configuration. The price isn't too much, around 38 € per month plus VAT.

I already told about the migration coming on Matrix and Mastodon but it's time to make it official here.

The migration starts tomorrow at 12:00 (Finnish time) and it will likely take several hours. Be prepared!

EDIT 27.06.24 19:48 I underestimated how long this all will take, and there were problems with restoring backups and networking. Regardless, the migration is done and we're up again!


Terve! Suorituskykyongelmien ja latenssin takia tulin johtopäätökseen, että dedikoituun palvelimeen siirtyminen on parempi vaihtoehto Sopulille pitkällä aikavälillä. Katsoin Hetznerin palvelinhuutokauppaa ja hommasin palvelimen Saksasta mehukkailla ominaisuuksilla: Intelin Core i9 -suoritin, 64 Gt keskusmuistia ja kaksi 512 Gt SSD:tä RAID-asetuksella. Hinta ei ole liikaa, se on noin 38 € kuussa ja lisänä arvonlisävero.

Kerroin jo palvelimen siirrosta aiemmin Matrixissa ja Mastodonissa, mutta nyt on aika tehdä asiasta täällä virallista.

Siirto alkaa huomenna klo 12:00 ja se vie todennäköisesti useamman tunnin. Varautukaa!

EDIT 27.06.24 19:48 Aliarvioin kuinka pitkään tässä kaikessa kestää, ja ongelmia oli varmuuskopioiden palautuksessa ja verkkoyhteydessä. Joka tapauksessa siirto on valmis ja taas ollaan ylhäällä!

Onko tuolla matrixin puolella minkälaista juttelua? Tähän sopuliin liittyvää?

Pääosin Sopuliin liittyvää, kyllä. Instanssilla on oma Matrix-tila, löytyy linkattuna sivulpalkista.

Vaikka niin paljon kiinnostaisi räplätä, päätin että teen Sopulin palvelimen migraation VPS:ltä Hetznerin dedikoidulle palvelimelle ensi viikolla. Kerroinkin asiasta jo Mastodonissa ja Matrixissa. On aika muhkea palvelin, 8-ytiminen Intelin Core i9, 64 gigaa muistia ja kaksi 512 gigan SSD:tä RAID-asetuksella. Olkoot juhannus nyt sapattina sitä ennen. Ajattelin ainakin käydä sisarusten luona, syödään hyvin ja katsotaan leffoja. Olisi myös tarkoitus nähdä kavereita. Kaupunkijuhannus oikeastaan.

Well, if anon thinks he is too late at 30+ years, it will become a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Kiitos tuosta lomakkeesta, täytin sen ihan periaatteesta kun olen laittanut tietojenluovutuskieltoja aiemminkin.

"It's not a bad game, it's a AAAAA title!" "Oh great, yet another AAAA game from Ubisoft". That high number of A's is becoming a synonym for a bad rushed game with a big budget.
