After really hosing things up yesterday, I seem to have solved at least some of the image problems. Not all of them. I rebuilt the mercure and messenger configs from the ground up using the most recent bare metal config templates and that seems to have helped. Also, I continue to live on the edge with the development channel of the kbin repo - there were a number of fixes contributed that looked like issues we had, so I applied those.
Throughout the day today, the site probably was up and down and all around - that was me trying to get things right.
Let’s see what I can get done tomorrow while I’m off work and the rest of my family is out of the house.
So far things have been mostly stable it seems, so: Really thanks for your efforts! Being around the Fediverse these days and being able to use things right after an update from the devel branch gives me something I hope akin to the “I use Arch btw” feel ;)
