okay i give up i'm just gonna power off the linode and make a backup from there
when i turn it back on to run updates it'll probably come back online on its own but anything you post after that point might disappear if i have to restore the backup :anim_shrug:
no we're not updated yet but i managed to somehow bash my head against ubuntu 20.04 enough times to update a bunch of our shit and turn jorts back on to see if it still works (it appears to still be working)
(do not tell me to update from ubuntu 20.04 i do not care i will not do it)
also linode won't let me have more than one manual snapshot at a time how fucking annoying is that
if i make a new backup right now i'll lose the backup made before i fucked with a bunch of shit to update ruby and PG and all the system packages (and force GPG to shut the fuck up about unsigned keys)
okay leaving it alone is just *increasing* the backlog, the feeds are still not building correctly, and i still can't upload anything but someone else managed to upload a screenshot so i'm not gonna worry about it, we're just gonna have a backlog for a few days until everyone on other instances goes to sleep probably
ROUND TWO
SHUTTING JORTS DOWN AGAIN IMMINENTLY TO ATTEMPT TO SWITCH TO GLITCHSOC
THIS SHUTDOWN WILL PROBABLY LAST LONGER (AND I MIGHT BREAK EVERYTHING)
the server permissions are fucked so you'll be stuck in limbo til i give you a role but feel free to hop in there if you are a JORTS DOT HORSE user and are losing your mind because you can't post about piss or whatever
if things go catastrophically wrong i'll probably update in there
actually the server doesn't really seem to lag anymore huh, that shit fixed itself at some point in the last 5 or 6 months i guess, another victory for communism
i'm very hungover rn but i'm slowly figuring out my various passwords to log into our crumbling server architecture
after that the biggest hurdle (and what thwarted me last time when i tried to update us) is that i do not remember what dark magicks i used to set up our reverse image hosting -- "media.jorts.horse" is a reverse proxy that points to a wasabi bucket -- and so i have no fucking idea how to update in any way without ruining that setup and killing media
i wanted to update to glitch soc but glitch soc uses fucking docker packages and if my hands are in contact with my keyboard while a docker command runs in my terminal window i will instantly perish
