[Completed] Lemmy.World maintenance/downtime 2025-02-22 19:00-19:30 UTC

a year ago by lwadmin to c/lemmyworld

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/...

edit 2: The database upgrade has been completed successfully.

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.

Which functionalities are you interested in?

ruud 27 points a year ago

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

slimerancher 4 points a year ago

I always thought it's just something you say, whenever upgrading to anything newer. Even if there are no additional benefits.

PlasticExistence 4 points a year ago

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.

Rooki 9 points a year ago

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.
