This weekend I’ll be working to upgrade AZ to lemmy 0.19.4, which requires changes to some other back end supporting systems.
Expect occasional errors/slowdowns, broken images etc.
Once complete, I’ll be making further changes to enable/tweak some of the new features.
Champion! Thanks for your hard work.
This is an inexcusable breach of the SLA. Lodion must be offered free Timtams as recompense.
I’ve been nomming down on home made cookies 🤤
Home made biccies > timtams anyday
Thanks! Nice of Lemmy to time the release with the instance’s anniversary!
Thanks for the hard work
thought I got banned or something earlier today :) this makes sense, cheers
Just a heads up that all comments show as 0 karma for me. I use connect on android. Not sure if client or widespread.
0.19.4 introduced some changes to the way votes are displayed, they seem to be working fine for me on the web ui. I don’t know if connect has been updated for 0.19.4 or lets you change account settings, but if you go to aussie.zone/settings (when logged in) there is a “Show Scores” setting which was off by default for me.
Logged in and it was set to default off for me too. Likely an oversight with the new update.
Thanks for the tip.
What app are you using? I’ve tested Boost, Sync, Jerboa, Memmy, Voyager and Connect. I can’t reproduce this symptom.
It has been happening for me also since the update on voyager.
I’m personally only seeing this issue with lemmy.world posts, and it’s happening to me on both Arctic (I think it’s iOS only?) and aussie.zone’s web page.
I’ve been noticing since the upgrade, some images both locally and foreign don’t show up when embedded in comments on my third party app (Boost). I assume this is a lack of support on Boosts part, but worth noting anyways I guess

I’ve seen that myself. Sync works fine, web works fine… and Boost is inconsistent, so I can only put it down to being a Boost bug… but don’t haven’t been able to narrow it down any further.
It’s working on connect, so probably boost’s problem
Great!
The proxy thing seems to be working most alright, however I have noticed a couple of occasions where images aren’t loading, and trying to open them in my browser results in a “429 - too many requests” error. I haven’t been DoSing AZ, so I’m guessing this is an issue with the proxy exceeding rate limits?

I did see mentioned of imgur being one site that has issues with the new feature. Will see where I can find that and look for a solution… I had assumed it would revert to previous behavior id proxy fails… my mistake for assuming.
Reporting iPhone web still unable to sort by anything except ‘hot’
I don’t have an iPhone, but Firefox on my Android phone works normally. Which browser are you using?
All browsers on iOS are required to be Safari/ WebKit based, so it will probably not make a difference. Updating iOS will update WebKit tho and might help.
Sorry I’m not sure. Whatever i8 has forced?

pict-rs upgraded to 0.5… which is now performing its own backend update. No idea how long it will take… currently ~7%.

pict-rs backend update has some issues. Kept bombing out part way and restarting. Looks like I’ve sorted that now, so the update is progressing without stopping.
Next up will be an upgrade to postgres 16, which will require some site downtime.

pict-rs backend update is now complete. Image functionality should be pretty much normal again now.
