Brief outage for Pictrs upgrade today Oct 2nd 18:30 CEST - Lemmy.world

We will upgrade pictrs today, from 0.3.1 to 0.4.4. This will enable us to switch to S3 storage later on, and is needed for more anti-CSAM tools. Outage should only involve picture uploads, and should be brief.

OK, the pictrs database upgrade is taking it’s time… please wait… ;-)

how’s it faring? 👀
It’s building a 0.4 database, which is already twice as big as the 0.3 one
It’s grown from 3.1 GB to over 8GB and still running…
thats a lot of pictures
And that’s just his personal collection of feet pics
Don’t tell them about the feetish
That’s not the pictures… The picture take up 1.2 TB… it’s just the database with the metadata about the pictures. (11.8 GB now…)
Who pays for that s3 storage?
The people that donate to lemmy.world
But it’s not in S3 yet. Still on disk.
I know. Giant database = Giant × 10² amount of Pictures
Yeah we can upload pictures again!
I’m not sure where I was supposed to post this, but as much as I appreciate the custom dark theme used by lemmy.world, I also dislike how it does not respect the system theme on my PC.
Are you manually updating Pictrs or is this included in the new lemmy update?

Newest update defaults to 0.4, but the latest version is 0.4.4. I don’t think there’s a significant difference.

But it looks like ruud stayed on 0.3.x until now because there’s a pretty serious migration between 0.3.x and 0.4.x

Lemmy.world hasn’t gone to object storage yet? Oof
