This Weekend
There will be some periodic downtime this weekend as I do some physical cleanup / rearrangement to my equipment. I’ll try to keep these to a minimum, but at some point, everything is going to need to go offline for a bit in order to re-cable the UPS and power connections.
Plan is Saturday afternoon between 1 and 4 pm. Hopefully any interruptions will be brief.
Next Week
I’m switching to a new fiber provider next week (FTTH vs current FTTN), so there will be a brief disruption as I cut over to that. That downtime should only be a matter of seconds since both connections will be active, but just in case it turns into a whole thing, I’m mentioning it now. The new fiber is supposed to be installed Tuesday afternoon, and I plan to do the cutover around 7PM local time.
Next Few Months
I’ll be expanding the storage server in the coming weeks, but that should not have any immediate impact on DubVee’s normal operation.
With these, I hope to provide a better, faster experience. I’m also looking into setting up an Invidious instance to use with DubVee as well as exploring setting up and integrating a Peertube server.
First phase of the maintenance is completed. Still have some work to do, but I can finish that up while the engine is running.
Spot checking the federation stats of a few different instances, it looks like the next retry interval after the downtime should be around 3:51 PM local time for most of them. After that, all the activities we missed during the maintenance should start coming through. It’ll take a bit after that to play catch up, but the backlog isn’t as severe as I anticipated (~38,000 from LW, 5500 from SJW, 3500 from Lemmy.ca).
