Tried signing in with the details I used on Saturday, got this message:
Got the reset password email almost immediately, reset password using the same password as before, and am in. It’s definitely changed the backend screen for me - never seen a Dashboard before.
I missed this, but you can set snap refresh timer. View with snap refresh --time
Change it to maybe daily at 4am? Only person up, seemingly is @GregRedd
sudo snap set system refresh.timer=4:00
Maybe confirm my commands, I don’t use ubuntu. Last actual install is 18.04
Not sure if my phone fault or a MEW problem. My keyboard now blocks the typing block when replaying from my phone. It used to slide above the keyboard.
Curiously, the refresh.timer property isn’t currently set, so I wonder what Ubuntu 20.04’s default is and if maybe Digital Ocean doesn’t have a different way of handling that in its images?
I’ll muck about with it today and see what I can see.
My first port of call will probably upgrading the instance from their “standard” plan to a “premium” Intel or AMD plan. Now I just have to figure out whether we should go for a newer-gen Intel Xeon or AMD EPYC config.
Still getting warnings from Google about downtime when the auto update runs, even after the upgrade to newer AMD hardware.
One could just have the auto updater run once or twice a week, but I think it’s better to just upgrade the instance at this point. Google doesn’t like downtime — your search result rankings get downgraded for it.
I’ll upgrade the instance tonight after everyone’s published their articles and stuff. It’ll be more expensive, but it’s the best solution as far as I can tell.
