Just used it myself. Still very much working.

Goddammit Loch Ness Monster!

Came to the comments to say the same thing. Cool collection, but invest a few bucks on some cable ties my dude.

It just sounds like slavery with extra steps.

Ah, that’s fair. Best of luck either way. This is the tough part of admin work. FWIW, the stability we’ve had thus far has been pretty impressive!

Unless one of your subscribed communities is a victim of this spam. That’s kinda rough.

I’m not familiar with what the server architecture looks like, but is there a possibility of using a load balancer in front of the instance’s server and swapping a “beta” server into the load balancer when you need to do testing? You could basically migrate your traffic with zero downtime, assuming Lemmy’s architecture allows for it.

Dude, I’d ask so many questions if you brought that up in regular conversation and I’m not in your line of work at all. That sounds awesome.

I’m a sysadmin. No one really knows what people in my profession do, so they just assume it’s all servers and computers. I’m all about the automation tools, though. With the right tools and credentials, you can install apps, create accounts, provision a new VM, parse through your emails, brew a cup of coffee, and let your wife know you’ll be home early so she can get rid of her boy toy before you get home…all with a single click.

This is legitimately one of my fave movies of all time

If you think about it from a security perspective, it makes sense. If a random person you don’t know sends you an email, the chances are non-zero that it contains something malicious. The provider has an obligation to filter emails that could be dangerous. They know that if a large email service sends an email, they have that same obligation and are therefore doing some filtering on their side to prevent malicious content. Trust is pretty important.
