You missed the fine print.

Must support the preferred left wing narrative of the day in order to believed - otherwise will be trashed.

The server is running a lot smoother today compared to yesterday. I have been doing a lot of small things tonight.

Good news, these tweaks have fixed the cpu spikes and the Disk i/o spikes.

You should be seeing better performance.

Still researching what is causing the images not to display.

"You can use the PGTune tool to tune your postgres to meet your server memory and CPU."

It was configured to a much larger machine. So I plugged in the specs for my linode and updated it.

I also upgraded to V17.4 even though that breaks images for some reason.

I figured better to be up and running smoothly with no images, then up and down all the time.

I will watch the server today and see if it performs better and let you know.

Fingers crossed.

I have made a few tweaks and turned federation back on.

Images will be down for a few days while I keep working on this

Yeah I have been up working on it since 2am this morning.

Not much to show for my efforts yet sadly.

Onwards and upwards we go.

Me too.

V16 was very very stable for us.

V17 has been a disaster. This could in part be caused by active Lemmyverse users increasing by a factor of 20 in the last month. It could also be some of the new instances we federated with trying some funky stuff.

In any case I know the devs are working very hard. I have never seen do many different people contributing to the development effort.

So despite these scaling problems, the future looks bright.

Bring on V18
