Is there an issue with picture upload? I couldn’t make a picture post last week, and tonight it’s not working again. I only get a generic “failed to upload” error. Texts posts are working fine.
Hey, thanks for bringing this up. It has been breaking intermittently but comes back when I restart the service. I’m planning to upgrade our picture service this weekend which should hopefully resolve this (we’re on a pretty old version!).
I went ahead and restarted it, so feel free to try again with making your post. My apologies!
Thanks for looking into it!
If you’re doing upgrades this weekend, do you think you could do Alexandrite as well? I’ve noticed that that’s also a few releases behind.
Frontend updates are easy, I went ahead and updated alexandrite. I might automate this at some point, but kind of like to be intentional about frontend versioning.
For backend stuff I’m much more careful and intentional since it’s actually a little bit hard to run infrastructure that handles millions of requests globally on essentially a shoestring budget (but with strict requirements on backups etc).
Well, the budget is just kind of a challenge for me on how cheaply I can run a globally scaled instance. Some interesting engineering involved
Thank you!
Yeah @coles mentioned over on Matrix they’re aware of an issue with it and are looking into it.
Personally, I still just use catbox.moe for sharing images on here partially out of the worry of the hosting of memes going south :p
