Little while ago, i started experimenting with video impressions from my rides - after quite a long break, this is the current state of this series. Apologies, the videos language is german, however, i barely say anything. :D

This instance is about to be moved to a different host, which will cause a few minutes of downtime.

I will try to do it starting 3pm CET and it should not take much longer than half an hour (ideally it will be faster).

What is Lemmy?

Lemmy is a self-hosted social link aggregation and discussion platform. It is completely free and open, and not controlled by any company. This means that there is no advertising, tracking, or secret algorithms. Content is organized into communities, so it is easy to subscribe to topics that you are interested in, and ignore others. Voting is used to bring the most interesting items to the top. Thanks to @flamingos-cant for contributing to resolve this.

Changes

This release mitigates a potential security issue with the image endpoint. In short, an attacker can inject query parameters and make proxied requests to arbitrary URLs. See the security advisory for details.

Also there are fixes for the database connection pool. The pool size is now at least two, as a lower size can result in deadlocks. Additionally there are now connection timeouts added. If your server logs show pool timeout errors, you should increase database.pool_size in the Lemmy config.

• Fix for image proxy filetypes by @dessalines in #6357
• Enable DB connection timeout by @Nutomic in #6355
• Use min database pool size of 2. by @dessalines in #6345

Upgrade instructions

There are no breaking changes with this release.

Follow the upgrade instructions for ansible or docker.

If you need help with the upgrade, you can ask in our support forum or on the Matrix Chat.

Thanks to everyone

We'd like to thank our many contributors and users of Lemmy for coding, translating, testing, and helping find and fix bugs. We're glad many people find it useful and enjoyable enough to contribute.

Support development

We (@dessalines and @nutomic) have been working full-time on Lemmy for over five years. This is largely thanks to support from NLnet foundation, as well as donations from individual users.

If you like using Lemmy, and want to make sure that we will always be available to work full time building it, consider donating to support its development. A recurring donation is the best way to ensure that open-source software like Lemmy can stay independent and alive, and helps us grow our little developer co-op to support more full-time developers.

The instance has just been updated. There was a slight hickup with web-ui which has been fixed. :)

Alongside the update, I started with a lazy little Ansible playbook. Curious folks are welcome to have a look at the repo. Don't expect anything special, complete or tidy - right now its only purpose is updating the instance. However i think i will add some more config templates to it asap (like systemd, webserver). This instance does not run on Docker, therefor (and for other reasons) the official playbook does not apply. :)

Sorry for the delay and the brief interruption, tchncs has just been updated to v0.19.11. :)

The interruption happened due to database migrations taking a little moment.

Hi there, for a few months now i own a treadmill for my desk. It does alot for my overall wellbeing, but reliably counting steps there is quite a challenge.

One thing that seems to come close is my old iPhone, but as climate in this room is getting hotter as spring approaches, this is not a fun solution. (phone will annoy in lighter pants)

Things that heavily over and undercount include:

• Garmin HRM Pro (count way too low)
• Fenix 3HR in pants (both directions depending on chosen pants and pockets)
• Fenix 3HR on ankle (way too low)
• Stryd Pod (oh well that exposes no steps at all, darn it)

I read from time to time how at least Apple finds step counting and goals to be a bad and lowprio metric. I see that at least the Athlytic app does not use steps but rather the heart for calculation of target exertion and reached exertion (eventho i wonder sonetimes if exertion is too high on the treadmill).

This leaves me with the question if i should just ignore that a stepcount exists at all. I wont be filling any rings while regularily wearing the Apple Watch at all anyway.

Is there some important metric i might be missing that would suffer?

tchncs has just been updated to this security and bugfix release. :)
