Hello friends!

Lemmy.ca will be undergoing scheduled maintenance from approximately 12:00 - 12:30 PT (3:00 - 3:30 ET), while we move to a more powerful server.

Happy Canada day!

Are there plans to bump to v0.18.1 at the same time? Only asking as my themes will need to be updated when we do.

[-] Shadow@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago

Do you have an updated copy of your theme already? If you send it ahead of time, happy to drop it in whenever we do the upgrade.

This should get us going: https://pastebin.com/TxTNn8y5

I'm reworking the theme a bit and trying to shape it into something that stands on its own.

Thanks! Unfortunately, I've had to push more updates, because many frontend elements have changed even between the v0.18.1 release candidates. This may be an impossible task to maintain as a native theme option.

For now, the layout changes appear to be working as intended but most of the colour changes are not. I'm wondering if we should just pull the plug on this approach before too many users grow dependent.

I'm maintaining a version for Stylus and other CSS injector add-ons on Github. It's also available at UserStyles, and these might be the most sensible solutions as I can update them on the fly.

Happy Canada day. And wow! The instance is extremely fast now. Thank you!

We won't accept anything less than extremely fast!

It's a big difference going from a 8vCPU 8GB RAM VPS where the actual resources were likely quite over subscribed to a dedicated server with a 6c/12t Ruby Lake Xeon, 32GB RAM, 2x 512GB NVMe drives in RAID with it's own 1Gbps Public connection. From the data we have it should be sustainable with this server until about 40-50K users.

We're currently paying ~$140/month for that, and have plans in place to scale up as needed when it's needed. Over the next few days we will reopen the ability to make donations to cover the costs of operations.
