The network Burggit is on is experiencing performance issues. I’d encourage everyone to use shota.nu for right now if you can. I talked to the host about this and evidently it’s an upstream issue with the datacenter.

The datacenter is refusing to help out with this and thinks everything is working fine so there’s plans for migrating to a new datacenter that are underway sometime soon. So in the meantime, I’m afraid we need to just grin and bear it.

Lemmy errors out if the NFS mount is nonresponsive. It doesn’t like not being able to access the huge swathe of pictures that are stored on the server. I’ve switched the NFS mount to TCP and have it retry the connection every second in an effort to mitigate the severe packet loss.

As I was composing this, the packet loss shot up to 90% so I don’t think even that will help…

That’s really all I can do for right now. I wish there was more that I could do to resolve this… 😔

    Is this related to the recent upload errors I’ve been getting?

    Such as this one

    For now I’ve been using Links to upload stuff. I’m the founder of r/CultureImpact and the leading mod of r/okbuddytrailblazers (not to confuse with r/okbuddytrailblazer who are anti-loli)

    And my goal has been to port as many users as I can out of roughly 60K towards Burggit,

    And will continue to do so. introduce them to the beauty our great Netherlands provides.

    spoiler

    Ja, Hallo, gegroet landgenoten!

    Hahaha =) I’m doing my best in helping spread the word of this platform, since incompetent and powerhungry leadership has lead to a spiral of cancel culture on platforms such as Reddit.

    The internet truly needed a place like Burggit.

    But I can see how the lack of being able to upload images directly is deterring some people at the current moment, I see a couple of my Burggits have been experiencing quite some steady growth. But people also stopped posting for a few days now.

    Not really complaining btw, I’m giving feedback of what I’m experiencing, I want this place to grow and evolve into a platform that becomes lively and stands tall, and I will help wherever I can.

    I also noticed you guys want feedback for future updates, will share some stuff on said post later. (I don’t have blocks of code like some others, but I’ll spitball some reasonable ideas)

      For now I’ve been using Links to upload stuff.

      Even before the performance degredation, it was recommended to use shota.nu for file uploads since it “saves us storage and will result in less upload failures because the built-in Lemmy uploader sucks” (from the Burggit tip).

      This should be fixed. I goofed somewhere when I was trying to fix a separate annoying issue. I rolled back the changes and I’ll have to take a stab at it later whenever I’m feeling up to it. For glaring issues like this, please ping me on Matrix. I don’t bite, and it’s the fastest way to get ahold of me.

        Bit late to replying, but I do not have/use Matrix, so wouldn’t be sure how to get a hold of you there.

        Down to learn tho. Got a link to read up on it, and how to find you on there?

        I am looking for various places that also express a similar level of free thought and sexual content such as Burggit, that have a more Discord form of concept, having a sort of “server with channels”. I found Revolt a while ago which is acting on somewhat of a grey area due to still being obscure and not used so much yet. But in essence Revolt also does not outright allow cunny, and acts upon laws from their respective base countries. And Discord has started taking more and more action. A lot of the chat platforms that do allow it, are so barebones though that there’s not much reason to use it at that point.

        But a completely loli friendly backup is something me and my community have been looking for. Of which Burggit is currently our main one. Since all of us actually come from Reddit, which is just Burggit, but for Karens. We use Reddit/Discord a lot on tandem. And want to transition this towards using Burggit/Something as our new core, our goal is to be a safe haven for the “okbuddy” members that don’t get cancelled left and right by oversensitive and overreactive westerners. Just wish another Dutchie would make a Chat Platform though and apply the same policies as you do. (Dutch myself, but sadly don’t have the experience to create anything of the sort.)

            Interesting, and is anime cunny 100% allowed on Matrix/Element if you create your own space etc? Just like here on Burggit.

              It depends on the policies of the home server. It’s technically allowed on Burggit’s space, but we’ve never had any requests for such a room on here. Most of what gets discussed is technical issues with the site, giving updates on matters, etc.
