Various distros across different families freezing when doing package manager updates - sh.itjust.works
Hi All. I’m having an issue that I am hoping I can get some help with. I have
been using linux on this particular laptop for over a year now, and for the past
6 or so months (right around the time I upgraded to Plasma 6, but I think it is
just a coincidence) about 50% of the time, when I update all my packages via
package manager, the whole system freezes. Like, hard freezes. Waiting any
amount of time won’t get me out of it. I have to hold the power button to power
it down. I can’t use ctrl+alt+F3 or whatever to get another TTY. Mouse doesn’t
move. Nothing works. It originally happened with OpenSUSE Tumbleweed on btrfs. I
thought maybe it was btrfs, so I reinstalled with ext4. Same issue. I tried
Manjaro. Same issue. I tried EndeavourOS (wasn’t really expecting different
behavior at this point). Same issue. Now I am thinking, what could cause an
issue like this? Well, a package manager update just is a ton of file I/O
operations, right? Could I have bad RAM and that is getting written to disk?
Well, I did a memtest today and it came back perfect. So now I’m thinking it
might be the SSD, but I’m not even sure how to check that. Does anyone have any
ideas of what might be going on or what I should do to fix it or debug it?
As a Sharks fan, I am ready to be disappointed tonight.

I also found this table, which I thought was cool.

Federation broke on my instance - sh.itjust.works
So, I run my own instance (dandroid.app), and as of about 10 days ago, all
outgoing federation stopped working. Incoming federation still seems to work
fine. I’m not sure exactly what changed. It was around the time that I set up
pihole on my network, but I have since shut down pihole and federation has not
resumed. I have tried restarting all the services with docker-compose down and
then up. I also tried restarting my server completely. What debugging steps can
I take to figure out where the failure is occuring?

Selfhosting lemmy with no pictrs - sh.itjust.works
Hi all. Due to the news of the illegal images being hosted on lemmy, I shut down
my instance. I read some comments from people stating that they were able to
selfhost lemmy without pictrs, they just can’t upload or cache photos. I think
this is what I am interested in doing at this time. I tried commenting out the
pictrs section of my docker-compose.yml and removed the “depends on pictrs”
sections. However, I get the error message in the attached screenshot when I go
to my page. Does anyone have any info on how to selfhost lemmy with image
hosting completely disabled?
