    Wiped the VPS clean, new 22.04 server install.

    Deployed using that installer.

    Exact same issue. The lemmy container cannot reach the database and continually restarts. I'll post some logs, but they're practically identical to what I posted before:

    lemmy container logs:

    Ran those commands successfully, then the playbook again. Playbook has zero errors or warnings.

    The postgres container was remade.. with the same broken database. Went into it with psql like before, did \c lemmy, then \dt - same error - did not find any relations.

    No errors of any kind in the ansible script. nginx is running, and it's at https://lemmy.name - I get some gateway timeout errors once in a while, but that's all. When I do get error pages, they are served via https at least, so I don't think there's anything wrong with that part.

    I assume this is because the lemmy backend container is continually restarting (as I detailed more in my original post and other replies here) due to database connection errors

    \c lemmy does return "You are now connected to database "lemmy" as user "lemmy""

    Running \dt after connecting returns "Did not find any relations", so it looks like you were right and the database didn't get populated.

    docker exec -it lemmyname_postgres_1 /bin/bash returns the bash prompt as expected: 2ab8c789fdcd:/#

    psql -U lemmy -d lemmy successfully opens psql:

    psql (15.3)
    Type "help" for help.
    
    lemmy=# 
    

    ran select name from person; from the psql shell, it does look empty (haven't created any users yet):

    Yes, I can log into the psql shell on the container and connect to the database from there with no issue. I guess it is a network issue, I'll look into it further tomorrow

    Reddit Threatens to Remove Moderators From Subreddits Continuing Apollo-Related Blackouts - MacRumors

    They can't be replaced in this case - unless Reddit wants to spend lots of $$$ hiring moderators. As long as they leave that power to community mods, it is impossible for them to stop this type of protest.

    I do think there is a real possibility Reddit will consider this a long-term risk and replace them with paid mods.

    In a comment shared by r/Apple moderator @aaronp613, Reddit cited its Moderator Code of Conduct and said that it has a duty to keep communities "relied upon by thousands or even millions of users" operational. Mods who do not agree to reopen subreddits that have gone private will be removed. > If a moderator team unanimously decides to stop moderating, we will invite new, active moderators to keep these spaces open and accessible to users. If there is no consensus, but at least one mod wants to keep the community going, we will respect their decisions and remove those who no longer want to moderate from the mod team.

    Only time it's happened, I had to refresh to get it to go away. I checked and the username is real, they joined 3 days ago. Is this a common issue? Any security risk?

    Update for anyone wondering: Around 58% of the initial protest userbase has gone dark permanently (at the time of writing).

    Many have gone public only to run polls on how to proceed, so that number is expected to increase.

    I've heard several advertisers are reconsidering spending with Reddit, they didn't realize the community had this much power over the site (which introduces more risk for them.) Hopefully that has some effect.

    I just messaged them, but they haven't had any activity on their account since creation (including in their own subs), so I don't have a lot of hope.

    Worst case scenario, if I don't get a response in a week I will try contacting Ruud. Having to contact the instance admin directly for this sort of thing seems unsustainable though.

    Can't connect? Having any weird issues? Check this out! (Will be expanded as needed.) **No sound** First try just restarting the game a few times - sometimes that's all it takes. If that doesn't work, proceed: Download this (in gzip format, you will need 7zip or similar to extract): https://archive.org/details/Beta-1.7.3 In MultiMC/Prism, click on your b1.7.3 instance and click "Folder" on the right side menu. Enter the .minecraft folder, delete the contents of the resources folder there, and replace them with the files from the extracted archive. **Can't connect** This includes timeout errors, "An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remove host", and similar. First, make sure you're using either Prism Launcher or MultiMC. The official launcher does not handle old versions as well. When you made your instance, make sure you selected b1.7.3 and NOT 1.7.3. This requires toggling the "Betas" checkbox seen below. ![](https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/fd0e979a-03ad-4bd4-9790-54b883ce4c4a.png) Finally, try connecting to the [website](http://oldschoolmc.live) - if you can't visit that, there is a chance your ISP may be blocking our IP address.
