Great shave with the Damaskeene. I wasn't keen enough to follow along with day 1 of @djundjila@sub.wetshaving's NovGEMber, but now is as good a time as ever!
I love shaving with this razor, but it's admittedly not as efficient as any of my other GEM/Ever-Ready razors.
Some "fun" updates on the Lemmy server: some of you might have noticed a small amount of down time yesterday. Sorry about that. I thought it'd be quick, but it was less than quick.
Either way, the part of Lemmy that handles pictures now has its database handled through PostgresQL. Previously it used something called SLED which was fine, but postgres is better. This also streamlines the backup strategy a bit as the automated backup commands (run with a cronjob) are the same as the main Lemmy database. More importantly, backups can be taken while the software is up and running. We were taking backups without shutting things down before, but we weren't supposed to.
This is the story of my life at work...
As always, thanks for the work you do to keep this place running smoothly!
