Pages randomly not loading
Unsure if this is just me or my vpn (mullvad) to blame or the server software but on my phone and desktop every now and then the site will fail to load, no errors just a blank screen and just before I posted a comment but it just sat there and didn't do anything for like 10 seconds then I was able to click post again and it put it through. ... read full post

Upgrade complete to 0.19.6
I'll be working on upgrading aussie.zone to lemmy 0.19.6 today. All going well disruption will be brief, but there may be some performance issues related to back end DB changes required as part of the upgrade.
I'll unpin this once complete.

Pictures are broken
I'm in the process of migrating images to a properly configured object storage setup. This involves an offline migration of files. Once complete, I'll start up pict-rs again. Until then, most images will be broken.
All going well this will finish by morning Perth time, and once up and running again may help with the ongoing issues we've had with images.

Timeout errors in last few days
Over the last few days I've noticed that I'm semi-regularly getting Cloudfare error pages with timeout errors when I go to load a page here. Once the site loads it normally works fine for a while. Sounds similar to Baku's post from a few months ago, if others are experiencing the same at the moment possibly a reboot would help here too?

@unionagainstdhmo@aussie.zone's comments were deleted in a thread I was just looking at, and I went onto their profile and it also appears to have been deleted? Anyone have any knowledge about them? It's sad if we've lost such a long-time excellent member of this community.

Emails from Aussie Zone
After some users have had issues recently, I've finally gotten around to putting in place a better solution for outbound email from this instance. It now sends out via Amazon SES, rather than directly from our OVH VPS.
The result is emails should actually get to more people now, rather than being blocked by over-enthusiastic spam filters... looking at you Outlook and Gmail.
