Today I made a new Template for our Go-Away anti-bot protection and am up-streaming the solution so that all of lemmy admins can have a drop in replacement.

When I was creating it I made it for us and by default it looks like this: (The Reddthat one has our icon instead ofcourse)

I named the template file reddthat-challenge.gohtml and when I was making it more ‘generic’ I renamed it from reddthat and typed lemmy…

Turns out I typed lemmmy instead! It’s technically valid, ansible-lint and ansible-playbook --syntax-check both pass without issue! Our test PR deployment also was successful because like all of the other items, everything was correct and the one thing it doesnt do is issue a ‘reload’ or a dry-run. Even then when issuing a dry-run it says the container will be recreated, which is an expected outcome as I made a change to the go-away proxy, so I expect it to restart…

This is a screenshot from https://status.reddthat.com/:

(This service is Betterstack)

It was setup to only alert when “the url becomes unavailable” (which is any code outside than 2XX). Previously Cloudflare used to pass through the error code? As this has always alerted me whenever the backend failed?)

Here is a memory graph you can see the red ‘swap’ be basically static until I tested the template and then the swap came back up again and then at 10:53 (00:53 UTC) it was restarted and never came back!

(This service is hetrixtools)

And here is my own on-site monitoring service showing all green!

(This is uptime-kuma. (Note: This goes directly to the box and not via cloudflare))

I can probably dig deeper into the logs but as I went out to lunch and my commit at 10:52 coincides with the exact ‘increase’/lack of increase seen above we can be certain it’s related!

A 3 hour outage and I didn’t know about it because all 3 uptime monitoring solutions all agreed we were online!

Resolution:

I’m so sorry!

Turns out uptimekuma which is my fallback for the online serivces was setup to monitor the PORT only directly on the box. So as our webserver was still running as far as it was concerned, it was technically “online”.

• I’ve added a few more checks to uptime-kuma so instead of just being a port check, there is a HTTPS check with keyword. So the page has to load, and the keyword needs to be on the page otherwise I’ll get notified.
• I’ve updated Betterstack to check only a 200 HTTP code. Which is what Hetrixtools was already set too.
• I’ve updated Hetrixtools to also check for “Reddthat” in the page.
• Hetrixtools also can monitor the docker service, so if the docker service goes down I get a message now.
• I’m thinking about adding a way to punch into the box from uptimekuma too and monitor the docker container itself, as Hetrixtools doesnt seem to do that, but that might be overkill? Or not? This will probably be the only way in which I can tell?

Even after 15 years (oof now I feel old) doing “IT” I am still amazing at how no matter how many systems you put in place to try and catch issues, assumptions and unfortunate circumstances can rear its ugly head.

Our automated testing all passed.
Our external monitoring solutions passed.
Our internal monitoring solutions passed.
Our syntax checker all passed. Our service still went down.

Cheers,

Happy May!

Also happy June? What was I thinking…

The above is probably enough of an update. Things are mostly normal. Lemmy devs are nearing 1.0 release, which will probably mean a big push across the internet and more people joining. (Hopefully picking Reddthat :P ).

I’ve been struggling to accept all the new people in a timely manner. As I like to sleep for at least 6 hours and don’t always wake up and immediately open Reddthat (Shocking I know!), sometimes people end up getting to around the 12 hour mark for their applications to be accepted. Which I can see being a problem, especially when they don’t supply an email address. I’m working on a better solution to alert me when there are applications that need processing.

Also did you know I renewed the domain again? That means it’s been 3 Years now!

Honestly insane. This Lemmy thing is probably the biggest thing I’ve done for a community on the internet for a long time! Here’s to 3 years more!

Donation Thingy:

Note: On Liberapay, donations are paid in advance, but you are more than welcome to make it recurring monthly instead of paying yearly. Don’t worry too much about the “fees”. It’s just the cost of doing business via the credit card duopoly.

💸 “Expenses”:

• April Costs: ~A$150
• May Costs: ~A$150

Still tracking around the ~150 mark per month. I managed to cull some assets from our S3 bucket (ie; our old backups and all the dev buckets) to bring our costs down a little bit, so when the June bill come in the next 3 days I’ll update it.

We took some time today to reboot the server with the new kernel to protect us against dirtyfrag/copyfail etc/etc.

Reddthat then failed to come back online because of a slight miss-configuration / DNS shenanigans.

This was the first time we’d rebooted since our move to our dedicated server and in classic fashion something happened!

Yes, it’s always DNS.

Donation Plug Goes Here: https://liberapay.com/reddthat/

Hello Friends!

The silent admin has come out of hibernation to give you an update. As we’ve been moderating, approving, and all around enjoying the content reddthat & the lemmyverse provides I figured we might as well have an update.

Reddthat has been upgraded to the latest lemmy verison 0.19.18. 🥳

See the link in the post for the main updates, as well as the 0.19.17 and 0.19.16 versions. But honestly… there hasn’t been many changes that are relatable for end users. The Lemmy devs have been pushing out only serious fixes. The only one that is even slightly relevant is ‘Display UserBadges for Bot, Banned and Deleted users in all PersonListings’

It looks like this:

We’ve been kicking along but have seen a huge increase in our image/video storage! Which has unfortunately meant that I’m getting charged close to $44USD/m for our storage, and we are now further away from breaking even. So all the savings we manged to find with our server migration has been offset with our increase in storage usages. This happened a couple months ago and I don’t have a pretty graph showing the increase, but happened in Feb based on the financials.

We regular serve about 1 to 2 TB per month from the server and have apparently “saved” 1TB over the past 30 days.

Something else that is interesting (to me at least), and might be part of the current state of AI nonsense is that even though we have always blocked ‘old.reddthat.com’ from the search engines it is still significantly queried more than other hostnames. Including one of our old frontends ‘next’ which has been removed for a “long time”.

The DNS query map shows the closest datacentre for those queries. Interestingly there are some tiny tiny tiny datacenters there.

The total number of connections also is an indication of how popular the lemmyverse is. As this includes the server to server connections, not just our regular users it is a bit polluted but shows how many connections we need to respond to on a regular basis.

And if you’ve made it to the end, I want to make a special shoutout to everyone for being around, having fun, and being respectful to our fellow netizens. Unfortunately there have been a few bad actors so I would like to reiterate our No. 1 Rule. Remember the human! (no harassment, threats, etc.) (Yeah… While it’s certainly not number 1 in the list, it should be!) On a whole Reddthat users are always special in my heart and we have been very “stable” in the number of users. For those of you who regularly, comment, vote, post, and use reddthat thankyou!

An an extra special shoutout to those who “put their money where their mouth is” and support Reddthat financially. I honestly wouldn’t be doing this after all these years without your continued support.

Cheers,

Tiff

💸 “Expenses”:

• Jan Costs: ~A$122
• Feb Costs: ~A$156
• March Costs: ~A$148
• April Costs: ~A$150

I expect future costs to stay around the 150 mark. We were so close to being self sufficient but as always, if we get close to our goal of $60/w we’ll finally be in a solid position to stay forever online.

I found some time. and in 15 minutes from this post we will go down for ~1 hour to ensure we have complete data consistency.

• 09:00 UTC to 10:00 UTC

See you soon!

HI!!!

The best time for an update, while hopped up on candy , coffee, and playing trick or treat on the neighbours, enjoying family, friends or just a relaxing day. I hope wherever you are, you are enjoying the holiday season(s).

Reddthat has been super stable and nothing major to report except for pictrs crashing recently (as my lack of updates may have proven).

This sat in my drafts for way too long! But now’s the time to finally update you all as there are actually items to update you on!

Moderation

The other admins haven’t been online as much lately and I’m doing most of the moderation. So I may end up asking people if they would like to become administrators of reddthat. Mainly I need some people in US time zones and EU time zones. (Which should nearly be all of you 😅!). The majority of the work results in actioning reports and ensuring we don’t let bots/people not even trying to read the application process into Reddthat.

If you would like a position, please PM me with:

• Your timezone/Active Hours
• What makes you a good candidate for an Admin. (Prev experience?)

Storage storage Storage. New Server!?

Edit: we completed it in https://reddthat.com/post/57007804

As I went to purchase the new server in June/July right after posting our last update the company IMMEDIATELY jacked up their prices. It must have been a typo because it’s now for $135/m. Which would give us 2x500GB and 32GB of Ram. The processor is a Xeon E-2136 , which only comes with 12 threads! With a single thread rating of 2700, which is about double of what OVH is giving us.
So hopefully our database will be even faster once we make the change.

On OVH, we managed to finally get the storage increase and it’s worked without any problems. Which was perfect timing really. We now sit at around 75% usage of our 200GB drive. So I’m hoping to get 2-3 more months out of it and pray to the tech gods there are some black friday dedicated server deals or even Christmas ones which will allow us to get a better deal.

And that was what happened. We managed to get a deal on a dedicated server in OVH which was around the $90/m . So only a little bit more than what we are paying now. Which is great. From a brief benchmark we get at least 1.5x faster CPU which equates to shorter scheduled tasks, faster queries, and more resources available to showing everyone their own subscriptions and memes. That’s not inclusive of the 500GB ssds, which will allow for our database to grow to 2-3x our current total. Which means this should last us around 4-6 years (at the current growth of Lemmy as a whole).

I’ve been getting it working over the past 2 weeks Oz. We’re taking this time to also upgrade to Debian Trixie, which is currently not supported by the Lemmy ansible repo. So I will be upstreaming that change once I fixed it. This includes keeping it up to date so that when we do the swap over in a week’s time it will be as short as 5 minutes and as long as 15 minutes for the swap over to happen. I’m pretty sure it will be closer to 15mins as even at 1Gb/s our 100GB database will take around 800s to completely migrate at the theoretical maximum. (And a brief 15 minutes, is better than mucking around with postgres’ HA).

This server change is probably going to happen on the 27th/28th. I’ll add another post outlining the timeline on the day.

Cheers,
Tiff

As we were originally trolled by OVH in the original server resources upgrade: https://reddthat.com/post/47931907

We now have confirmation that it will now be actioned.

Starting tomorrow, 28th September 00:00 to 01:00 UTC we will be upgrading.

This will be handled by OVH and is estimated (by them) to take between 30 to 60 minutes as it requires them to copy our storage to a (new?) system.

See you all then!

Ps. Any update incase there are issues will be on our status page: https://status.reddthat.com/

Small update as I’m now tired and going off to sleep.

I have finally implemented go-away on our main site and it hasn’t broken (fingers crossed) any of our frontends!

I have added the non-js challenge which is called a meta-refresh challenge. This means those of you who view sites without javascript will also be able to continue using reddthat without troubles, but the bots are already failing!

We currently have sent the HTTP 418 (I’m a tea pot) Response code over 1900 times since implementing goaway (within the last 5 minutes)

I’ll be looking to add a JS challenge in the coming weeks if the bots start implementing proper browsers.

FYI. If you are affected by this, and cannot seem to complete the challenge, you can get around this by using our Voyager frontend to let me know, or any Lemmy application. As both of those directly interface with the API endpoints.

Cheers,

Tiff

Edit. In the past 12 hours we have had the following total queries by http code:

Count   HTTP Code
   4654 200 <- people who "completed" the "challenge"
    406 206
    122 301
      8 302
    243 307
    204 400
      3 403
    479 404
  34946 418 <- very bad bots
      1 499
    186 500
   1617 502 <- meta, openAI, bytedance, etc 
      4 503
      2 504

That’s 2 hours from this post.

At 01:00 UTC we will be having a 15-30 minute maintenance due to a server upgrade. (More storage!)

As a reminder we have a status page on: status.reddthat.com which I use when we have these outages.

(Yes I’m aware of ‘old’ showing up as down, the uptime checker is blocked by our anti-ai protection for old)

See you on the other side.

So apparently it’s not instant and we are in a queue to get upgraded… We are… 65th in the queue. I’ll edit this post once we get an update.

Hello again to everyone and a special welcome for the people who ended up coming here from Lemm.ee, as well as to anyone joining the Fediverse for their first time!

It’s been a weird couple month(s) for us specifically with our issues with our donation holder. Lemm.ee shut down. We turned 2 years old! How time flies…

Donations

It was a stressful time! For those of you who didn’t see; I hadn’t been reimbursed from our donation account for over 2 months and hadn’t heard anything from them. Eventually they must have seen our emails or word got around and the money was transferred to me.

Choosing to outsource the financials was a choice which I think most of the Lemmy servers have done (especially for OpenCollective), and was (probably still is) the easiest to setup. When I started Reddthat right at the start of the exodus of Reddit, I knew people would want to donate, whether it was out of spite, or for a better future. OpenCollective solve that and was incredibly easy to setup. As you don’t have to fill out any paperwork besides from your details and bank account for reimbursements. It was a no-brainer for me especially when it came with complete transparency, which I have tried to provide to Reddthat across it’s lifetime. This inherit decoupling of assets also came with risks I never imagined but I should have. Especially when beehaw had similar experiences. The writing was on the wall.

Now I have used my already setup Stripe account and finished Reddthat’s liberapay. Which is over --> here if you want to see it. The major benefit just like OpenCollective, is that you can make the donation a Secret donation. So I personally will have no way to know who is donating. Obviously if that happens I wont be able to add your username to our list of heroes, but I think it’s time for a change. Maybe let me know what you think the new section could be called in the comments?
So the long and the short of it is that now I control all of our financials so no need to worry about someone else not paying me or doing some exit scam.

Server Resources (tech speak time)

Recently we ended up having some timeouts due to memory issues. Fortunately this was solved temporarily by reducing the amount of connections (pools) we allowed Lemmy to use for it’s database connections. But this is not why I’m bringing this up. Our database has grown to… Checks 108GB on our filesystem. This has always been on our radar. Especially when in our 1 Year Old post we reached approx 30GB.

Our current OVH server only has 158GB available. With everything else stored on our server we currently have used 124GB of our 158GB. So we only have ~28GB available. Which isn’t a lot of wiggle room. Especially when we need to perform daily backups of the database too! Luckily the database does compress quite well and a lot of the indexes take a huge amount of data but there isn’t anything I can do about that. To save data on the biggest culprit of indexes I’d have to remove some filtering options from our codebase. Which maybe might help but probably won’t.
We are using approximately 5GB of storage per month at the moment. So in about 4 months time if we don’t do anything we will be going offline because our server is out of space! Obviously I won’t let that happen and have a nice solution planned in the coming months. A dedicated server.

Start reading here again if you skipped the tech speak

So we are slowly growing over time so we will need to increase our server resources again.

(Another) Migration

I seem to like this word. Migration. I use it a tonne at my $job while also seem to be using it more and more at my lemmy job too! In August/September or sooner depending on when our renewal for our OVH server is, but we will be migrating to a Dedicated Server.

• CPU: E-2136 (6Core/12Thread) @ 3.50GHz
• Ram: 32GB
• HDD: 2x500GB (NVMe)
• BW: 10TB/month
• Cost: ~A$90/month

To put it in perspective we get 8 vCore, 16GB Ram and 160GB SSD for ~A$88/month. So for an extra $2/month we can get “infinite” storage, double our RAM and get a way better cpu as well!
Now let’s not get ahead of ourselves. I’m not quite ready to pull the pin on it and have to double check a few things first to make sure this company is all on the up-and-up as when they say it’s too good to be true, it probably is!

2 years!

Turning 2 years old has been a privilege. For those of you who have stuck with Reddthat since the early days of server issues, the recent server issues, and the many many migrations; I truely appreciate your interactions and the communities we are fostering on our own little corner of the web. Now whenever I type ‘red’ in my browser if auto fills to a social site that I run. Which is kinda awesome. But it never would have been possible without everyone. So from the bottom of my heart.

Thankyou!

<3 Tiff

PS. I’m also toying with the idea of setting up a piefed instance for those of you whom want a more picture-style feed? Would people enjoy that? And if so, what should our domain name be?

Starting now I’ll try and keep a running total at the bottom of these posts and some ideas of what the next months are going to bring. We are very stable at the moment. I manage to scape by as I bundle a lot of things with my own personal bills / items. Things we don’t pay for: Email Sending, Git hosting & automated build server(s). As I use my own infrastructure for these items.

Want a month dedicated to you? -> https://liberapay.com/reddthat

Hello! It seems you have made it to our donation post.

Thankyou

We created Reddthat for the purposes of creating a community, that can be run by the community. We did not want it to be something that is moderated, administered and funded by 1 or 2 people.

Opencollective -> LiberaPay

After the disappearance of our Fiscal host we have migrated to LiberaPay:

https://liberapay.com/reddthat

This donation goes directly to me without any third parties holding onto it like we did with Opencollective.

Background

In one of very first posts titled “Welcome one and all” we talked about what our short term and long term goals are.
In the last 2 years we have carved out a place for all of us to be heard and enjoy. Images, videos, comments however we communicate, I’m thankful of everyone who calls Reddthat home. Over 5000 users is something I’d never thought possible.

You are what makes Reddthat worth coming back too.

• LTC Directly: ltc1qfs92f6d80jelhj6avwf9u7q5p7ldqqzg0twunw

Current Plans & Descriptions

• Keep the server running smoothly!
• Our S3 storage is growing and will only continue to grow.
• Hopefully we can drop the EU Server which acts as a proxy for LW traffic now that Parallel Sending might be possible
• We currently are paying slightly more for our main server than we should, and I’ll keep an eye out for a new and better deal.

Annual Costings:

Our current costs are (Updated: 2025-06-15)

• Domain: 15 Euro (~$26 AUD)
• Server: $1080 AUD
• Wasabi Object Storage: $180 Usd (~$290 AUD)
• Total: ~1386 AUD per year (~$116/month)

That’s our goal. That is the number we need to achieve in funding to keep us going for another year.

Cheers,
Tiff

PS. Thank you to our donators! Your names will forever be remembered by me:
