i try to investigate but its a bit tricky - could you confirm that this does not happen in apps? from my tests it looks like its actually a problem with the lemmy-ui itself. not lemmy or another component, as when moments where i cannot curl the ui on server level, i still can curl the lemmy server for example

i sadly struggle gathering helpful logs but i am confident the cause will be found

interesting i primarely use an app and everything seems responsive. will try to investigate

first fork i noticed and following with careful amount of hope: https://github.com/we-promise/sure

Thank you very much! Don’t overdo it ;)

Thanks for your support and kind words!

Thank you!

Thank you! I was actually quite insecure about the effect such a detailed page could have, but it didn’t actually seem to make any negative impact, which is awesome. It’s fun to figure out how to to generate the stuff on there automated. :)

Thanks a ton! And don’t worry, the magic is in the amount of people donating - it doesn’t have to be much per donation :)

Thank you! I will for sure do my best to provide a reliable service for years to come! In the unlikely event of discontinuation, there will be multiple months or more for users to find a new home - as long as the event does not take that power away from me ;)

Thank you very much! I will try to update if there is anything notable happening - usually a post like this from me or by users, causes a spike in donations that goes away quickly again. It would be amazing if this one was an exception. :)

I totally agree with the busfactor part. The thing is tho that I do not have real life contacts that are skilled and trusted enough to help. However there is @[email protected] (even tho we sadly don’t know each other in real life yet), who actually has emergency access to some of the tchncs servers already. We really need to complete this. However one reason why i struggle to prioritize this, is that bad things already happened in the past when i granted admin access to a supposedly trustworthy person.

My issue is not tchncs in particular, at least i’d like to think that… i am trying to figure that out, however, tchncs is something that happened organically over the course of more than 10 years at this point. It’s the result of me discovering Linux and selfhosting and is practically my self-teaching journey. Everything like the remaining part time job and clients, all that came after or/and due to tchncs. It truely is part of my identity and i couldn’t give that up easily.

Indeed an interesting approach that i think about from time to time, not sure if it would gain much traction at this point tho, because there are so many servers to chose from.

Thank you! PayPal is not a very likeable platform and i would prefer not to offer it at all for weird events in the past. But at least right now, that account is not marked as a business account. If you send as friend, (assumingly) via the linked PayPal donationpage and not via Liberapay, no fees should take place. Via Liberapay counts as a business transaction, still. I am not 100% certain as to whether there are gotchas from other countries tho.

Oh well technically it is, it’s just harder to “feel it” for the monthly transaction count and to show it in the current statistics on the donation page. Thanks a ton!

Thank you for considering to donate :)

Thanks for your support!

Actually, Stripe as well as PayPal via Liberapay take a fee, still. ;) Those are the providers that Liberapay uses. Still a nice platform - thanks for considering to donate regularily and thanks for the previous donations! :)

Thank you, but please don’t donate if it hurts, even if its only slightly uncomfortable to you!

Danke für den Beitrag und die lieben Kommentare 🤗

the more or rather less testinstance at trails.tchncs.de was updated :)
