Dear users,

the long time users may still remember that we had a support forum over here on Nerdica.net until the big database accident.

I've set up a new one now at !nerdicanetsupport@nerdica.net

Please feel free to join.
For latest updates you may also follow @order

!Nerdicanet Support

For those who are interested why Nerdica.net have had so many outages during the last weeks and months, please follow @order where I explain many of the background infos...

As of today, during the night, the backlog of >5 Mio. worker queue items has been resolved and new posts are delivered on time again.

Hopefully it stays that way.

Counter measures were:
- increasing count of CPU cores from 8 to 24 vCPUs
- increasing memory size from 20GB to 65GB
- redundant setup of Friendica behind a load balancer, so that two virtual servers can work on the backlog

Whileas CPU and RAM are back to their old settings, the redundant setup will stay and maybe extended to a third virtual machine.

Sorry for the downtime in the last days, but there seem to be an issue with php8.4-fpm which caused the backend being unavailable.

I've now switched to php8.5-fpm and will monitor the site more closely in the next days...

Ich überlege, ob ich mal wieder versuche, mehr Friendica zu nutzen. Seit geraumer Zeit bin ich primär auf Mastodon unterwegs, aber die neue Version 2026.01 von Friendica sieht wieder ein bisschen frischer aus.

Schade finde ich immer noch, dass der Datenbank-Crash vom letzten (oder war es schon vorletztes) Jahr solche Auswirkungen gehabt und fast die Instanz d´gekillt hatte. Vieles ist einfach verschwunden, was meiner Motivation, hier etwas zu posten, auch nicht unbedingt zuträglich war.

Naja, mal schauen...
