Bot Will Be Down Or Unstable For Foreseeable Future
Post Body

I hate to write this but I've officially hit hardware capacity for the bot. Mainly storage but also RAM.

The drive array that runs the database and the search indexes is maxed out. As a result the database keeps going down and I no longer have space to build the indexes the bot needs to do it's searches.

When I have some time I'm going to purge the oldest year (2018) from the database to free up a little space to buy some time.

Ultimately I need to replace all the 500gb SSDs in the main RAID 10 array with 1tb drives. 6 in total. The cost is not something I can swing at the moment.

I apologize to all the communities that have come to rely on the bot. I'll do my best to patch together a solution to keep it somewhat functional.

If anyone has the means and wants to contribute, you're more than welcome to donate here.
