October: kbin.social planned technical outage
This week (at the latest at the beginning of next week), there will be a several-hour technical break. A banner with detailed information about this will appear 24 hours before the planned work.
Have a great week, everyone!
Thanks for the heads up, good luck!
Does a technical break mean a downtime for system maintenance? Will there be any fixes or enhancements?
Thanks for all your hard work, Ernest.
Ernest has previously said that this will be an upgrade to address several issues, such as those related to federation, spam and lack of moderation tools.
I’m excited about the upcoming update that will roll out the API for kbin.social. Is there any updated information that can be shared about the timing of the roll-out?
So, I made a new thread asking about the status and ernest responded to it.
It seems there's been some unexpected irl issues that have prevented ernest from properly working on the update.
However, I'm almost ready to continue on this journey, so you can expect that in the near future, there will be a banner with information and the update date of the instance and release. After that, we will work on avoiding such longer development downtimes in case of my absence.
Thank you for sharing and all the work.
Any chance that the broken inbox bug is among the things getting fixed by the suite of changes?
Does it have an issue on codeberg?
If not, I recommend bringing it up there. If you only bring it up here, you rely on ernest or another contributor writing it down and remembering it, which probably isn't too reliable. Better to put it on the issue tracker.
This post has no comments visible for me (though it should have 9 as of now). I do not see it in the kbinMeta at all. I also sometimes get 500 errors in kbinMeta, particularly when sorting by new. I only found this post by clicking on Ernest's name to see activity. Any ideas (though I'm not sure if I will see any responses, heh). Not seeing anything but 200s in the network tab of inspector.
You probably won't see this, but I've sent you a private message. Hopefully that one arrives.
I assume it's the blocking bug, which is getting fixed this update I think.
