I apologize for the outage earlier, power was out longer than the UPS battery could handle; they're really only there for short outages of 1-5 minutes which are rare, but happen.. this was a multi hour outage which has never happened in the 15 years that i've lived where the server is located. The power outage was due to an electrical fire... I guess I should plan for those now. Again sorry for any trouble!

A heads up: I'll be taking down the server tomorrow at some point to replace a UPS battery (when the battery arrives). Down time should not be more than a few minutes. @dilly

Thank you to Random Penguin for creating this addon! You can choose backgrounds when making a new post on this server.

Sorry for the downtime recently - I have a love hate relation with unraid and docker. Docker images were not upgrading properly which required a total server reboot to address. I rebuilt docker now which HOPEFULLY fixes the issue going forward... we'll see.

As this is a religious holiday I know not everyone celebrates it, but those that do for either religious or bunny (or candy) reasons.. happy easter!

I created a wiki for this site and the others that I run in a centralized location that contains site information, uptime statues and a way to donate if you like. You can check it out at wiki.abyss.net/ (before you ask what abyss.net is... it's my oldest domain and what I put all of my personal projects under, so it made sense in this case to be the hub for everything going forward)

I sent it via message, you can view at dillyofapickle.com/message Regarding donations- at the moment there is no way but I’ve been considering putting something up on patreon or similar. If anyone has any suggestions which site to use for that let me know! That said our operating costs aren’t that high right now and I would be running this stuff for myself anyway :DRE: dillyofapickle.com/objects/8aa…

I ordered a new dedicated server that should speed this site up considerably. Should be done with the move tomorrow. If all goes well it should be seamless with little/no downtime... we'll see how that goes. Lol Also, I have a mastodon server up at turtlesallthewaydown.com and a lemmy server at kitty.ly you all should check out.

This is a feature of the bookface theme that we use. To see what it looks like check out my profile! To set follow the Cover Photos section of gitlab.com/randompenguin/bookf…

I made some changes which should further speed up things. I did notice one issue with avatars, if yours got screwed up you can reset it by going to the home icon > photos and setting the avatar picture again there.

I set up a matrix server, you can sign up and chat at chat.dillyofapickle.com .. it's linked to our discord server in channel parity. Test it out and let me know if you notice any issues!
