remembered I took this good pic when I just got my new Xiaomi

pixie.town started with a full borgmatic system backup

The migration will be happening tomorrow, starting around 11:00 UTC

services will stay online during most of the migration, but expect performance to be affected (main reason for this migration was existing IO bottlenecks)

During the postgres move at the end of the migration, Synapse and Mastodon will both be down. moving around 33Gb of data from hdd to ssd

then a reboot to make sure everything is reboot-proof. If everything goes well actual downtime should be very limited

getting as much people as possible to sanity-check my homeserver's upcoming disk-migration, feedback welcome:

tfw you change your avatar and dissociate with the messages you just sent because you don't quite recognize the icon as 'you' yet

qemu++

after being reminded I should enable kvm (oops) it all works really well. Can now set up Debian unstable, and experiment with a disk setup similar to my homeserver, to figure out how to mess with the RAID's etc

"Did you just lose 100m customer SSNs because your root password was "password", you set an S3 bucket to public or you didn't patch a well known vulnerability for 8 months? Is the media and government chewing you out because of it? Worry not! Our free excuse generator will help you develop an air-tight breach statement in no time!"

I still need to figure out how long this will take, switching around data and RAID setups, expect a maintenance window announcement soon(tm)

(I got the Debian one a while ago, it was made in the same way but by someone else)

btw I use Arch :P

Hackerspace got a new Vinylcutter, so I made these dual-color Arch stickers that turned out suuper well

if anyone would like to critique my very first PCB design:
silkscreen is a mess I'll fix later but all the components/copper should be done:

pixie.town got a donation for a new 500GB SSD :)
when it comes in terra hardware configuration will change from:

256GB ssd (rootfs)
2x 2TB hdd in RAID1 (postgres and media storage)

to
2x 256GB ssd RAID1 (rootfs, postgres)
media storage:
200GB ssd cache (remainder of the 500GB)
2TB hdd

this should definitely improve Matrix and Mastodon performance a lot

taking terra (synapse, mastodon) down for a bit while I debug a possible hardware failure

"So i just came out to my dad abt being #nb, and he said something really wise about names, i think.

He said “Gifts are not obligations. You give things to people, and you hope they like them. And your name was a gift from us to you. If it doesn’t work for you anymore, you’re not obligated to keep it.”

and i just thought maybe other people could use hearing something like that."
