Hello,
while preparation our upcoming Lemmy update we're also be updating to a newer database version, which will provide additional performance benefits and functionality.
We are planning for around 10 minutes of downtime for the database update between 19:00-19:30 UTC on 22nd of February. This is not yet the planned Lemmy update, we will be announcing that separately when we are ready.
edit: You can convert this to your local time here: https://inmytime.zone/?iso=2025-02-22T19%3A00%3A00.000Z
edit 2: The database upgrade has been completed successfully.
Thanks for letting me know I’ll be sure to hit F5 a few thousand times
I've got that covered, but feel free join in and help. #activeActiveHA
40 minutes from now
a link has been added for your friend
Hey, don’t be so hard on him. His account is only 16 days old.
Is that a UTC minute or an EST minute?
You shouldn’t take advantage of her, it’s not fair
I'd be pleased if a time was also mentioned that relates to the local server time; and I don't even care which time zone. I can convert from all five zones way faster than loading a javascript-tainted URL, cursing, going back, reopening in a private window, enabling js, reloading, closing.
No worries though.
local server time is UTC.
time in UTC is included both in the title and the post itself.
In the winter, we're -5. In the summer, we're -4. Winter and summer being defined as when the clocks change for daylight savings.
It's good to know even if you just have a link sometimes.
Edit: This is just from my memory. It could be more complicated than this.
Isn’t it more like -4 for a couple of weeks in spring and autumn?
You know, I'll edit and make it clear that I don't know what I'm talking about. You might be right.
EST is UTC-5, so tell your friend that it'll be between 14:00-14:30 EST on the 22nd of February.
Came here to post this.
(And stop calling me Shirley)
Just repeat to yourself, “It’s just a site. I should really just relax!”
Best of luck on your restore-from-back-up test tomorrow! 😉
What will I do with my life during that downtime?
Get one
No thanks
That’s what alt accounts on other instances are for. Fediverse, baby!
I've got a few of those!
I've got a few of those!
I need to come up with a creative username. But you are correct.
I have no idea what time that is and I figure I will probably be sleeping
Are you a sleepy eepy zeppo?
Good luck with the update !
...also be updating to a newer database version, which will provide additional performance benefits and functionality.
Which functionalities are you interested in?
For me the faster VACUUM would be reason enough to migrate :-) But I think overall it's best to keep up-to-date and a few minutes downtime is worth it.
incremental backups might also be something worth looking into
I always thought it's just something you say, whenever upgrading to anything newer. Even if there are no additional benefits.
One benefit is that you have a tested upgrade path if you keep up with versions. If you don’t and you make big jumps in version when you update, there’s a chance that you’ll run into an untested situation that causes an issue.
What about "read-only friday"? :)
I would say it is rather opposite for a volunteer driven team. "Read only-Mo-Fr " because we have more time on weekends in general.
sick one. Thank you for your efforts.
Awesome thanks! Appreciate you all doing the update!
