Thanks for letting me know I’ll be sure to hit F5 a few thousand times

[–] corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca 6 points 7 months ago

I've got that covered, but feel free join in and help. #activeActiveHA

a link has been added for your friend

I'd be pleased if a time was also mentioned that relates to the local server time; and I don't even care which time zone. I can convert from all five zones way faster than loading a javascript-tainted URL, cursing, going back, reopening in a private window, enabling js, reloading, closing.

No worries though.

[–] MrKaplan@lemmy.world 7 points 7 months ago

local server time is UTC.

time in UTC is included both in the title and the post itself.

[–] Serinus@lemmy.world 7 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (1 children)

In the winter, we're -5. In the summer, we're -4. Winter and summer being defined as when the clocks change for daylight savings.

It's good to know even if you just have a link sometimes.

Edit: This is just from my memory. It could be more complicated than this.

[–] jagged@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Isn’t it more like -4 for a couple of weeks in spring and autumn?

[–] Serinus@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

You know, I'll edit and make it clear that I don't know what I'm talking about. You might be right.

[–] Perhyte@lemmy.world 6 points 7 months ago (1 children)

EST is UTC-5, so tell your friend that it'll be between 14:00-14:30 EST on the 22nd of February.

Just repeat to yourself, “It’s just a site. I should really just relax!”

[–] okwhateverdude@lemmy.world 14 points 7 months ago

Best of luck on your restore-from-back-up test tomorrow! 😉

[–] robocall@lemmy.world 13 points 7 months ago (3 children)

What will I do with my life during that downtime?

[–] GrammarPolice@lemmy.world 8 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Get one

[–] robocall@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

No thanks

[–] Zachariah@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago (3 children)

That’s what alt accounts on other instances are for. Fediverse, baby!

[–] lka1988@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I've got a few of those!

[–] lka1988@sh.itjust.works 1 points 7 months ago

I've got a few of those!

[–] robocall@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

I need to come up with a creative username. But you are correct.

[–] zeppo@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I have no idea what time that is and I figure I will probably be sleeping

[–] robocall@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

Are you a sleepy eepy zeppo?

...also be updating to a newer database version, which will provide additional performance benefits and functionality.

Which functionalities are you interested in?

[–] ruud@lemmy.world 27 points 7 months ago

For me the faster VACUUM would be reason enough to migrate :-) But I think overall it's best to keep up-to-date and a few minutes downtime is worth it.

[–] MrKaplan@lemmy.world 14 points 7 months ago

incremental backups might also be something worth looking into

[–] slimerancher@lemmy.world 4 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I always thought it's just something you say, whenever upgrading to anything newer. Even if there are no additional benefits.

[–] PlasticExistence@lemmy.world 4 points 7 months ago

One benefit is that you have a tested upgrade path if you keep up with versions. If you don’t and you make big jumps in version when you update, there’s a chance that you’ll run into an untested situation that causes an issue.

[–] Blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 points 7 months ago

Good luck with the update !

What about "read-only friday"? :)

[–] Rooki@lemmy.world 9 points 7 months ago

I would say it is rather opposite for a volunteer driven team. "Read only-Mo-Fr " because we have more time on weekends in general.

[–] vikingtons@lemmy.world 4 points 7 months ago

sick one. Thank you for your efforts.

[–] mesamunefire@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago

Awesome thanks! Appreciate you all doing the update!
