today's (later than planned) upgrade to lemmy 0.19.2 provisionally appears to have gone alright. if you see excessive amounts of jank (and your page footer can't decide what version of lemmy it's running on, IE it shows separate FE and BE versions), clear your browser cache and cookies since lemmy doesn't seem to do that cleanly on its own

next up I'm planning to deploy the Proton frontend as an alternative to the default and I'm also going to start pushing code to codeberg (most likely) so stay tuned for that

I frequently roll out new upgrades on lemm.ee without any downtime (so some servers running 0.19.1, some running 0.19.2 for example).

also motherfucker, those versions are compatible! no shit there’s no downtime for a hotfix upgrade. we got into this mess upgrading from 0.18.4 to 0.19.2 cause nobody seemed to think the upgrade process through in any detail

for anyone interested, the hack that NixOS uses to fix the asset path is here. the config we’re running predates that, and we may not be able to use that hack with a flakeified lemmy-ui (which is what makes it a hack — using src.rev like that is brittle and feels like it breaks Nix’s abstractions. maybe using git hashes like this is actually a bad fucking idea, huh? and the real fucked up part is, the UI knows its version so they could use that, but they woke up and chose jank)
