Perl.social server upgrades


So if anyone noticed things being a bit unstable recently it looks like the server was hitting the OOM killer sometimes and caused some odd behavior. In response to this I've added more ram to the VPS running perl.social so this shouldn't happen anymore and it'll also probably mean things run faster now too since more things will sit in the caches.







perlbot and related status


to stave off any rumors, i just had a hardware failure in my main server of some kind (likely motherboard failure) and I can't fucking fix it right now. I'm about to go out of town and won't be back for a little more than a week. there is literally nothing i can do right now, perlbot and all the related stuff will be down for that time while i get back from vacation and then spend gobs of money fixing the thing.

@Paul Evans pinging you here so you see this too, sent the above on irc too.







Perl.social updates


I've done some updates to https://perl.social/ to get it up to date with the latest Friendica version, along with getting it to properly use Redis to cache data and sessions instead of the mysql database. This has lead to some improvement in performance but it's still not at the level I'd (or others I imagine) would like. I'll be trying to do some more updates over the next week as I'm finally getting around to setting up some automation pipelines for building and deploying the site so that I can do tests of everything before pushing out updates, and to make keeping things up to date a bit easier. I'll also be looking at getting things finally setup with those changes to make it easier for anyone else to try to help out with development of things too (Mostly I'll need help with theme editing and finally giving this place it's own look).
