Today we spent some time preparing for the big upgrade, by kicking the Lemmy version up to 0.18.5, merging in the latest changes from lemmy-ansible git repository and cleaning up some disk space on the instance.

So tomorrow at 02.00 am Oregon time we will do the update to Lemmy 0.19.

This is 11.00 am CET for people in Europe.

Hopefully all goes well and we come out the other side with a nice new 0.19 version. Its supposed to take about 30 minutes of downtime if there are no issues to solve.

Wish us luck :)

IMPORTANT: You probably need to log out and log in again to be able to post anything since they reworked authentication in this release.

Thanks for a heads up!

Could you also please list UTC (aka GMT) times for server announcements?

UTC time can be understood by people all around the world, as it is an international standard, and it is legible for Europeans, too, being just one to two hours less than CET. Besides, not even whole Europe lives by CET, and it introduces DST which makes it even more of a headache to track, while UTC is always stable.

Oh, and for the info, UTC time of an update is 10:00 am.

Absolutely!

We managed to write the wrong time in CET for this downtime, so the update started one hour later than announced because of this. Sorry about that, will double check this for future updates!

Thanks for pointing this out, much appriciated. :)
