Dear friends of the BSD Cafe,

The Lemmy instance (BlendIT) has been causing issues for a long time. Updating it is problematic—it doesn’t compile easily on FreeBSD, requires a huge amount of resources, and fails to delete old remote media. Recently, it has also started throwing unknown errors that are nearly impossible to debug.

Unfortunately, I can no longer rely on it.

I'm sad to announce that this will likely be the first BSD Cafe service to be retired. I can't trust it at this level of reliability, I can't let it grow indefinitely, and I can't stop upgrading it while letting it run in this state.

I’ll take another look at it, but—though it pains me to say this—please be prepared for this possibility.

EDIT: It's not official, yet. I'll still try to keep this online.
