Yes, sorry. It is a problem that started over the weekend. I thought I had patched it by doubling the server’s RAM and adding a core, but that was not enough. Some process is causing the RAM use to spike and the image backend is crashing because of that.
Thanks. I noticed and reset the server a few minutes ago.
Something has been off recently. The CPU is spiking and the RAM gets used up, which crashes the pict-rs container. The pict-rs won’t reconnect until I reset the lemmy Docker container.
I doubled the RAM and added one core, but that was not enough to stop this problem, which means that whatever is causing these spikes is unconstrained. I need to look more deeply into Docker memory management to see if I can limit RAM usage such that the crash can be avoided while remaining functional.
Thanks. I have looked into it a bit more and I think that it is the postgres database grabbing all the memory it can. I have set a hard limit for the postgres container. Hopefully this resolves the problem!
On a road trip through Ontario one year we met a couple of teenagers at a country gas station near Ottawa with pupils in the shape of a cat … a vertical almond shape. I freaked out when I saw the girl first and jumped back. She was used to the reaction and said she just looked like that and it wasn’t a trick. She then said her brother had the same thing and he came to see us.
This was about 25 years ago before novelty contact lenses were around … they may have been around but I had never heard of them at the time.
It’s a weird thing to see just these tiny differences to the human anatomy … it immediately makes you think that something is wrong or not right. It makes you realize just how easily prejudices are born.
The two people were really nice small town people and we had a good conversation and we even left them a tip before we never saw them again.
Then again that is the special thing about differences though … I’ve seen so many 'normal looking" people in my life and none of them stand out, but I can still picture these two and I’ll never forget them.
That's because you're just far too old, and not down with the zoomers and their extremely flurgid memes. Or possibly you're not a paleontology enjoyer.
