Just made a comment here. Hope that works for you :)

I have now made a post on my lemmy-based account, @rosahaj@lemmy.blahaj.zone

ok I'm wrong (don't know why I thought they are active), but please post something in that community so that I can get "appoint as moderator" button on your account.

@fraydabson@sopuli.xyz seems to be active to me, I'll tag him so that you guys can connect properly.

I tried and it didn't work.

Firefox on Android can create working PWAs as well, it's not just chromium browers.

Ah, gotcha,just read up a bit. Looks like Chrome based browsers support true PWAs. Firefox based ones just create shortcuts. (Maybe I will play with Vivaldi again.)

Thank you for that information.

A Progressive Web App. Its not quite a shortcut. It is akin to installing an app.

A 'light' PWA is basically a a shortcut to a web page that hides the browser elements, leaving more room for the site's content.

A 'heavier' PWA can install stuff to your phone such that it remains usable even without an internet connection.

What's PWA? Just a shortcut from saving to home? That works for me on Android. (I swear I left this comment yesterday but I guess not.)

Thanks for chiming in! Could someone on Android try to install the PWA as well to figure out if the problem is just on my end?

I was able to make a PWA on my iPhone without issue (Safari)

Yay happy we are back! Thanks for all the effort, time and sweat you 2 put into this -- it's very much appreciated

Thank you both! You are awesome

Could you make a backup/placeholder website that goes online if sopuli goes down? You could add information about what caused the problem there and approximation how long it might take to fix. At least i assume that the entire server the website is running on doesnt usually break completely, but i dont know that much about how badly issues like these affect the whole thing.

I always worry when the site goes down and only site i get is the error one that means everything is broken.

It was about the database having corrupted data, and the best option turned out to restore from an earlier backup. Luckily the database is backed up automatically twice a day.

Ah, I figured it was my VPN being blacklisted again, so I didn't think much of it. Glad to hear the site is back up.

Thanks for restoring our internet dopamine feed. I certainly appreciate what you guys do. Anything in the logs that points to a root cause?

I tried logging in one day and noticed it was down, but I'm so glad I was patient! I was wondering if I would need to switch instances. Don't stress about it m8, thank you for your hard work!

Good to have you back up and running

Tattista, että saitte homman hoidettua! Tästä on tullut itsellekin aika mieluisa paikka netin syövereissä.

Thanks so much for all your hard work! Long live Sopuli(.xyz)!

Thanks for taking care of our corner of the interweb. Remember that you're not being paid for this and still offer better SLA than many enterprise vendors.

Thanks for bringing it back up! I hope it didn't cause too mich inconvenience in your and @MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz 's private lives.
