    Thanks for taking good care of us. I’ve noticed some of the other servers are crawling, but aussie.zone is always nice & fast 😃

    Have observed a few times recently where CPU usage was high, and resulted in very brief periods of slow performance on the site. This appears to have been due to DB queries maxing out 1 core. Have just upgraded from 2 to 4 vCPU which should mitigate this for now.

    Noticed the server wasn’t reachable this morning (~06:30), checking to see if there was a scheduled outage or maybe it was my end haha

      AEST? That would be the daily server snapshot. I’ll see if I can bring it forward, trouble is there are daily Lemmy DB tasks etc running earlier that I don’t want to disrupt .

      I’ll see what can be done …

        Yeah AEDT. I don’t mind it being unreachable for a little bit if it’s for maintenance!

          Caught me off guard this am too. Mind you, only notice because the site is so damn reliable 👍
