    • On certain parts of the tchncs infra, an emergency-co-admin already got access, I should prioritize this more so that it also counts for the host lemmy runs on. Other than that, unless something happens to me, there will not be any surprise shutdown of service. In the highly unlikely event of a planned shutdown, there will be at the very very least half a year time for users to move to other instances.
      • The donation situation for tchncs is … fine, at least for securing cost coverage excluding my time. If cost cutting is required (which luckily has not happened yet), I of course try to prioritize on actively used services and try saving on services that are wasteful in terms of user/needed resource ratio. Something like peertube perhaps where terrabytes of video only get a handful of views.
    • Only instances that seem dedicated to lawbreaking/extensive rulebreaking content or unmoderated instances overrun by bots will be blocked. And ideally only if there is too much or risk of too much exposure to our instance, causing too much moderation effort required. There will not be an instance block against instances where I dislike people or similar (there are quite sensible admins in the network tho that would act like that or similar, sadly). If we have an instance on the list, that does not seem to belong there, I am open for reconsideration.

    And note: I keep trying to do whats best for the community. I am always open for ideas and opinions. :) If i don’t respond to something, it is very likely that I once again failed to manage my inbox and tasks. 😅

    i keep telling myself what a timesaver ansible is, while at the same time my simple scripts got abstracted and puzzled into more files, much harder to quickly read and understand them and after hours of frustration, ansible actually works. there may be multiple minutes of delay between my tasks wasting time like hell but it works (as in not randomly fails to connect). except when it doesn’t. there still is a playbook where the host cannot be reached and i keep on failing to understand why as everything appears to be the same and looks correct. there will be more hours wasted.

    It was indeed down for a little while because one of the two nvmes went missing on the host. I’ve copied the containers to a different host before consulting the hoster just in case and stopped them in the process. Luckily it showed up again later so we didn’t have to rely on the already worn out other drive upon reboot that may fail in the nearish future. Check out https://status.tchncs.de/ as in such cases, i leave a note there … and also usually on Mastodon and Matrix at least :)


  • ive got a somewhat defective ankle joint for 2-3 years now… however i managed it to reach 10k again with some painbreaks not a smart move tho considering how the days after a run feel, and also trying to figure things out with doctors but i am seriously missing running. perhaps it could also help not to run in barefoot shoes in this condition, i am not sure… that by itself does not really feel wrong.

    regarding the op image here, i have long hair and when it rains, i do not use a jacket - instead i enjoy getting wet and open up my hair on purpose :P
