**Update 21:00 CEST:** all services that had their home on this host have been moved and launched.  **Update 20:30 CEST:** the linux container was launched on the new host. It is possible that some of you still cache the old IP address. Please be patient. **** **tl;dr** Surprise maintenance! It looks like it is once again time for some fresh hardware. Within the next hours (perhaps also tomorrow, depending on time among other things), you might experience a downtime of up to one to two hours due to Lemmy being moved to a new machine. This is needed for more future proofing as well as making sure the current hardware is not about to die and forcing us to apply a backup. **This post will be updated as soon as there are any updates.** Old specs (about € 37.72 /month): * i7-7700 CPU @ 3.60GHz * 2x512 GB KXG50ZNV512G TOSHIBA Gen 3 in Software Raid * 4x RAM 16384 MB DDR4 * 🇫🇮 Expected new specs (€ 76,16 € /month): * Ryzen 7 7700 * 2x1 TB SAMSUNG MZVL21T0HCLR-00B00 (not that i was given a choice) Gen 4 in Software Raid * 64 GB RAM * 🇩🇪 (they would be few eur cheaper in helsinki but AX52 are out of stock) *Additional costs are involved – **if in your budget** and if you want to support this instance, feel welcome to donate at https://tchncs.de/donate :)* **** Right now. both of the servers drives report 255% used. I have already received this machine in the unluckly state of equally (and much) used NVMe's... and there is some promising `iowait` going on, making me worry. It's not just the very unfortunate and (as i had to learn by actually losing drives upon reboot) dangerous state of the drives, but also the fact that the i7-7700 seems a bit overwhelmed with the load from Lemmy and Firefish. Another thing I am not (yet) sure about is whether the 64G memory are actually sufficient... ```` Total virtual memory: 61.74% - 38.6 GiB of 62.6 GiB RAM: 61.74% - 38.6 GiB of 62.6 GiB Committed: 65.29% - 40.9 GiB of 62.6 GiB virtual memory Commit Limit: 50.00% - 31.3 GiB of 62.6 GiB virtual memory Shared memory: 17.05% - 10.7 GiB of 62.6 GiB RAM Page tables: 3.15% - 1.97 GiB of 62.6 GiB RAM Disk Writeback: <0.01% - 2.42 MiB of 62.6 GiB RAM RAM available: 20.10% free - 12.6 GiB of 62.6 GiB Hardware Corrupted: 0% - 0 B of 62.6 GiB RAM ```` This is fine'ish but not sure for how long. Maybe for now I wait with upgrading the memory... – on the other hand... why not give some room for even more database tweaking perhaps?

I [first noticed this with push.tchncs.de](https://matrix.to/#/!PQOOuZmmjzGoXWzKuZ:tchncs.de/$lgvhbkU3tGt45a4trGTFcXwJsvGzelY73hc42APeCTs?via=tchncs.de&via=matrix.org&via=envs.net) but there's actually a lot of other domains which interestingly don't have IPv6 addresses. It feels like it's just missing AAAA records because a lot of these addresses come from the same place, but some of them just don't have any. 🤷
This community, under the guise of Christianity and discussion thereof, is just a place filled with conspiracy theories and hatred. Exhibit [1](https://discuss.tchncs.de/post/20223391): Bigoted, trans- and homophobic video. The comment section shows heavy mod abuse. Exhibits [2](https://discuss.tchncs.de/post/20468319) and [3](https://discuss.tchncs.de/post/20428156): Conspiracy theory. Again comment section is heavily "moderated". All of those posts are mod-posts because the community locked for non-moderators to create posts in. Is this really the kind of community that tchncs wants to foster?
I've noticed the site loading slowly for the past few days. Wondering if there's something going on with the instance. Edit: also getting a 504 Gateway Timeout error sometimes.
Hello, I am new to this forum community and very excited to get involved ! I am looking forward to contributing and learning from the community. Could someone guide me in the right direction for where to start? Are there any specific threads; resource ; areas of the forum that you would recommend for a newcomer? Any advice on how to get the most out of this forum would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance for your help!
I have read in the TOS for the Matrix server that all messages are deleted after one year. If I am talking with someone, does that mean that messages that are older than a year are deleted on my side, or both sides of the conversation? What if the chat is E2EE? If I am using a device that is signed in and has seen old messages, are they removed from that device too?

I’m thinking of moving to tchncs on mastodon (moving from floss.social) because for me floss.social limits some big instances a bit too much, causing me to be unable to see a lot of replies and posts. Is there a way for me to check which instances tchncs has “limited”? Limited is different from blocked. You can still follow users from limited instances and open their posts. They just won’t appear in trending or in replies. Thanks in advance and thanks for the great lemmy instance! :)
Well hello there, I hope you are having a good time and that apart from the shaky recent update, discuss.tchncs.de serves you well! 🚀 > ### tl;dr > tchncs is doing wonderfully in terms of donations, but I have reason to worry about an ongoing decline. Please don't feel pressured but if some of you would help looking out that it doesn't fall below a certain threshold, that'd be amazing. :) Many of you are already using tchncs services elsewhere, but for those of you who are new, I'd like to briefly mention that this service is powered by donations of its users. By donating a small monthly fee, you ensure that I will be able to keep paying for the infrastructure and its upgrades, as well as investing my time, trying to keep the thing rolling. Donating is 100% voluntary and not each and every one of you need to do it – **also for now, there is no critical need for new donors.** ### If that's the case, why am I even pointing this out? For a couple of months, our dear Elon (and later /u/spez) gave us not only waves of new users, but also motivated them / existing users to boost donations quite a bit. **In fact, it is kinda unreal how much you kind people have donated to tchncs over the time.** The server-costs have increased and unlikely will go down soon again. Even tho it happened before, **the past month was quite weak compared to the previous trend.** Of course it is still much more than ~~many~~ most fediverse admins sadly have to deal with(!), but **also this month started weaker than usual** and I worry that this time it might become a new trend. At [tchncs.de/donate](https://tchncs.de/donate), I give you (maybe too) deep insights about the tchncs funding situation. Here you have what I just wrote as a screenshot: ::: spoiler 🖼 **very bright for darktheme screenshot of the previous months in donations** 🖼  *Screenshot from july 12, 2024* ::: There is also tracked workhours on the site and together they even form dynamic goals with some hacky bash scripts. 😁 ### So what do I ask for?! If, and **only if** you can afford it and if you really want to, please consider checking from time to time as to whether tchncs currently achieves goal #1 and ideally goal #2 (hw upgrades). It is important to keep a buffer for new hardware. And if not needed for new hardware, you are helping your fellow admin (me) with day to day expenses and ideally, savings for bad times. *...so that's all, this got longer than anticipated, sorry for that. Please do not feel pressured, as of now it's all fine. Just trying to make sure it stays this way. ✌*
Wenn ich einen Post erstellen will und "Browse Image" klicke bekomme ich den Fehler: .... error sending request for URL (http://127.0.0.1:8080/image) ... Klar, auf meinem Rechner läuft kein Webserver. Eine Idee was falsch läuft?
There are a no thumbnails for videos or link previews visible on tchncs since the update / maintenance. Thumbnails of links posted before the update are visible, but aren't working for links posted after the update.
This time no crosspost of the original statement in [!lemmy@lemmy.ml](https://lemmy.ml/c/lemmy) because somehow the content is lost as I select the community 😅 I hope that this is just a small bug and that otherwise everything is healthy. Image proxying is not in place yet. I will have a closer look at the now possible setup changes soon™. Enjoy! 🍺
Normally I do not shut down services in order to perform updates, but [the new Lemmy release](https://join-lemmy.org/news/2024-06-07_-_Lemmy_Release_v0.19.4_-_Image_Proxying_and_Federation_improvements) requires a newer version of the PostgreSQL database server, which in turn requires a migration of the very cluster. If nothing special is hindering it (this happened with the Synapse Matrix server recently), this will be done quite quickly by just linking to the newer Postgres version (this is a feature of Postgres itself), otherwise it might take an hour or two. This will also affect the Firefish microblogging instance under https://procial.tchncs.de
Adjustments and updates are planned to the pict-rs instance (this is the software Lemmy uses in the background for handling media). I will need to stop it for a few minutes. Lemmy itself is expected to run without any interruption – without the media tho. 😉 Don't worry, if everything goes to plan, it will be done very swiftly. 🚀
I cant access !lemmyshitpost@lemmy.world . Its not searchable in community search. When I force-enter it by changing link ending its empty  
Da feddit.de jetzt einiger Zeit lahmgelegt ist, gibt es hier aktive deutsche Gemeinschaften? Oder sollten sie wieder hergestellt werden wie auf feddit.de?
Whe using my `discuss.tchncs.de` account with the app Jerboa on my Android phone, I get a message > This account (silmaril) is being verified and things don't work, whenever I try to use certain functions, eg. listing my saved postings. If I continue trying, the message changes to > Failed to connect to instance (https://discuss.tchncs.de/) General reading of posts still works. So I am wondering if there is something I still have to do in the verification process of my account? This might just be some bug in the app or incompatibility between app and server - but before digging deeper into this I wanted to check if there is a known solution.
Hi! When I go to https://discuss.tchncs.de/activitypub/externalInteraction?uri=https%3A%2F%2Flemmy.ml%2Fc%2Fprivacy it says "Could not fetch !privacy@lemmy.ml" However the community definitely exists: https://lemmy.ml/c/privacy Anybody know why this is?
Hello comrades! I am new to the world of reddit alternatives and have been interested in exploring welcoming anti-capitalist communities. I want to see a post-capitalist world in my lifetime, which means we are going to need to be open to new comrades of diverse backgrounds and abilities. With that in mind, we need to talk about the problematic signup process. In question here is the all important Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart every user must engage with in order to join the community. The current captcha process is very difficult for those with divergent visual abilities. As someone who relies on accessibility tools to interact with the digital world, I call on the techncs community to address the problematic choices in the sign up process. Additionally, consulting people with different abilities for input on technical architecture is a must to promote diversity in the community.

Hey, I'm noticing that I get many broken comment chains and comments failing to load. Is that just for me or does anybody else experience issues. I guess, it started when I was updating the mail address linked to this account a couple weeks back. The token I got with the email to verify my address was rejected (Invalid token) and since then, I'm having issues. My settings show the correct email and I cannot send a new token to verify (it says nothing about verification status). It was, probably incidentally, at the evening of when the lemmy update got installed onto this instance, so maybe I've chosen a bad time for the mail change. [Here is a thread](https://discuss.tchncs.de/post/9369514) that showcases my problem: Logged out:  Logged in:  (Clicking on more comments does nothing) Maybe someone knows what's wrong. Thanks in advance!

I've made 3 comments in the past 2 days but none of them show up if I look at the home instance of the communities they're on. They're all on lemmy.world, but I see comments from other instances in the threads so I don't think the problem is on their end. edit: specific comments https://discuss.tchncs.de/comment/6118062 vs https://lemmy.world/post/10292419 https://discuss.tchncs.de/comment/6117417 vs https://lemmy.world/post/10293966 https://discuss.tchncs.de/comment/6060083 vs https://lemmy.world/post/10220386 edit: seems to go back further than I thought, at least 3 days, and including other instances: https://discuss.tchncs.de/comment/6058391 vs https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/post/7109033 https://discuss.tchncs.de/comment/6044803 vs https://lemmy.ml/post/9981184 edit: seems to have started working again on 1/6
I‘m aware of the current federation issues that might also be the reason for this issue but I noticed that while federation of posts from feddit.de works sometimes as well as posts and comments from other instances no comments from feddit.de are syncronised at all. It might be better to ask there but as I do not have an account there I thougt I first ask here if this is already known. Does somebody else also have this problem?

Is it just me or is federation broken on this instance? For example, take this post I made in !politics@lemmy.world on this instance: https://discuss.tchncs.de/post/7934396?scrollToComments=true It shows a post being downvoted with no comments. However, on lemmy.world: https://lemmy.world/post/9689389?scrollToComments=true It's shown as one of the top posts on politics with 6 comments and 66 upvotes. I'm hoping this will be resolved soon and thank you admins for all the work you do on this instance 😘
When the server upgraded to 0.19.0 and everyone's 2FA was reset, I again setup my 2FA. It accepted my code and 2FA was enabled. I tried to login again but it said multiple times that the code generated by the app was invalid. I try to disable this multi factor authentication but even that won't work since it asks for the TOTP code which it marks as invalid. How is a TOTP code generated by Lemmy's link and accepted by it's servers to validate 2FA in the first place be invalid? I am effectively now logged out from this account of mine because I can't sign into a new session and if I logout of this session, then boom, this account of mine is as good as dead.

Additionally there is a new [controversial sort](https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/3205) which brings posts and comments to the top that have similar amounts of upvotes and downvotes. Lemmy's sorts are detailed [here](https://join-lemmy.org/docs/users/03-votes-and-ranking.html). > > ### Instance Blocks for Users > > Users can now [block instances](https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/3869). Similar to community blocks, it means that any posts from communities which are hosted on that instance are hidden. However the block doesn't affect users from the blocked instance, their posts and comments can still be seen normally in other communities. > > ### Two-Factor-Auth Rework > > Previously 2FA was enabled in a single step which made it easy to lock yourself out. This is now fixed by [using a two-step process](https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/3959), where the secret is generated first, and then 2FA is enabled by entering a valid 2FA token. It also fixes the problem where 2FA can be disabled without passing any 2FA token. As part of this change, 2FA is disabled for all users. This allows users who are locked out to get into their account again. > > ### New Federation Queue > > Outgoing federation actions are processed through a [new persistent queue](https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/3605). This means that actions don't get lost if Lemmy is restarted. It is also much more performant, with separate senders for each target instance. This avoids problems when instances are unreachable. Additionally it supports horizontal scaling across different servers. The endpoint `/api/v3/federated_instances` contains [details about federation state](https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/4104) of each remote instance. > > ### Remote Follow > > Another new feature is [support for remote follow](https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/pull/1875). When browsing another instance where you don't have an account, you can click the subscribe button and enter the domain of your home instance in the popup dialog. It will automatically redirect you to your home instance where it fetches the community and presents a subscribe button. [Here is a video showing how it works](https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/pull/1875#issuecomment-1727790414). > > ### Authentication via Header or Cookie > > Previous Lemmy versions used to send authentication tokens as part of the parameters. This was a leftover from websocket, which doesn't have any separate fields for this purpose. Now that we are using HTTP, [authentication can finally be passed via `jwt` cookie or via header](https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/3725) `Authorization: Bearer <jwt>`. The old authentication method is not supported anymore to simplify maintenance. A major benefit of this change is that Lemmy can now send cache-control headers depending on authentication state. API responses with login have `cache-control: private`, those without have `cache-control: public, max-age=60`. This means that [responses can be cached in Nginx](https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ansible/issues/195) which reduces server load. > > ### Moderation > > Reports are now [resolved automatically](https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/3871) when the associated post/comment is marked as deleted. This reduces the amount of work for moderators. There is a new [log for image uploads](https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/3927) which stores uploader. For now it is used to delete all user uploads when an account is purged. Later the list can be used for other purposes and made available through the API. > > ### Cursor based pagination > > `0.19` adds support for [cursor based pagination](https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/3872) on the `/api/v3/post/list` endpoint. This is more efficient for the database. Instead of a query parameter `?page=3`, listing responses now include a field `"next_page": "Pa46c"` which needs to be passed as `?page_cursor=Pa46c`. The existing pagination method is still supported for backwards compatibility, but will be removed in the next version. > > ### User data export/import > > Users can now [export their data](https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/3976) (community follows, blocklists, profile settings), and import it again on another instance. This can be used for account migrations and also as a form of backup. The export format is designed to remain unchanged for a long time. You can make regular exports, and if the instance becomes unavailable, register a new account and import the data. This way you can continue using Lemmy seamlessly. > > ### Time zone handling > > Lemmy didn't have any support for timezones, which led to bugs when federating with other platforms. This is now [fixed by using UTC timezone for all timestamps](https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/3496). > > ### ARM64 Support > > Thanks to help from @raskyld and @kroese, there are now offical Lemmy releases for ARM64 available. > > ### Activity now includes voters > > - Previously, site and community activity counts were only based on people who commented, or posted. [Those counts now include anyone who voted on a comment or post as well.](https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/4235) Thanks to @Ategon for this change. > > ## Upgrade instructions > > Follow the upgrade instructions for [ansible](https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ansible#upgrading) or [docker](https://join-lemmy.org/docs/en/administration/install_docker.html#updating). The upgrade should take less than 30 minutes. > > If you need help with the upgrade, you can ask in our [support forum](https://lemmy.ml/c/lemmy_support) or on the [Matrix Chat](https://matrix.to/#/!OwmdVYiZSXrXbtCNLw:matrix.org). > > Pict-rs 0.5 is also close to releasing. The upgrade takes a while due to a database migration, so read the [migration guide](https://git.asonix.dog/asonix/pict-rs#user-content-04-to-05-migration-guide) to speed it up. Note that Lemmy 0.19 still works perfectly with pict-rs 0.4. > > ## Thanks to everyone > > We'd like to thank our many contributors and users of Lemmy for coding, translating, testing, and helping find and fix bugs. We're glad many people find it useful and enjoyable enough to contribute. > > ## Support development > > We (@dessalines and @nutomic) have been working full-time on Lemmy for over three years. This is largely thanks to support from [NLnet foundation](https://nlnet.nl/), as well as [donations from individual users](https://join-lemmy.org/donate). > > This month we are running a funding drive with the goal of increasing recurring donations from currently €4.000 to at least €12.000. With this amount @dessalines and @nutomic can each receive a yearly salary of €50.000 which is in line with median developer salaries. It will also allow one additional developer to work fulltime on Lemmy and speed up development. > > Read more details in the [funding drive announcement](https://join-lemmy.org/news/2023-10-31_-_Join-Lemmy_Redesign_and_Funding_Drive).
events.tchncs.de
[Mobilizon](https://joinmobilizon.org/) is federated software in the same network as Lemmy (but with some intentional restrictions*), **to help you organize your online or offline events!** The instance is now slowly opening its doors. For now, logins are restricted to our accountsystem at auth.tchncs.de but this might relax once a few things have been figured out. At the end of january 2024, i might evaluate whether people are actually using that instance and if it makes sense to keep it online. \* you may only follow groups, not individual accounts
Not sure if this is the right place to report problems with todo.tchncs.de, but here is my issue: I created a project and task, with start date, end date, due date, notification yesterday. Today I tried to mark the task completed. However, the checkbox does not stay in "done" state and the task goes back to the "incomplete" state. Also, I get a green popup on the bottom momentarily with the message:  I did try this on a private window as well, so clearing cache wouldnt help I suppose

Hi, I signed up for a tchncs.de account and I wanted to try out Element-X android app. It's login asks me for a password, which fails login, and I don't see the tchncs authentication method. Has anyone got it working?
[@tchncs](https://discuss.tchncs.de/c/tchncs) is there something going on with tube.tchncs.de ? I’m getting errors when trying to connect.
Using this alternative front end [mlmym](https://github.com/rystaf/mlmym). (example: https://old.lemmy.world/, https://old.lemmy.ca/, https://old.lemmy.sdf.org/ )
Since the federation the comment sections got so inflammatory. Literally everything gets turned into some political "capitalism bad" or "the west bad" discussion. It made Lemmy very annoying for me to use....
Hello all! I was looking at tchncs.de and all it federated services offerings. I was wondering if, having a lemmy account here, I could log in to Mastodon and Pixelfed. When I tried just now, I couldn't. Is there a way to do this and I was too dumb to figure it out, or I need an account for each service? Thanks!
!righttorepair@lemmy.fmhy.ml went down with lemmy.fmhy.ml when mali took back its domains about a month ago. See [here](https://sh.itjust.works/post/1484592). I am trying to make a replacement. This seems like this is the most active technical themed server, would this be a good place for it? Are there any rules or complications I'm missing? Thanks!
