While I was away in Colombo I noticed that image uploads don't work. Even then I didn't suspect it was due to low disk space. I thought it was just a bug in the mobile client! On the other hand, I am quite happy that this instance survived this long (2+ years!) with just 16 GB.

Whew! Managed a narrow escape after running out of disk space on this server.

Successfully doubled storage! All went much easier than I feared :)

Since I had stopped Pleroma and the database for about 24 hours I am now expecting a flood of incoming posts.

ප්‍රේම පුරාණය or 'Le bonheur du néant' by Sunethra Rajakarunanayake, translated into French by Janaka Samarakoon https://suriyakantha.org/fr/article/prema-puranya-or-le-bonheur-du-néant

"The novel first captivated me with its remarkably fluid, boundary-breaking format—a striking departure from the conventional local literary scene when it was released 25 years ago in Colombo by Vidarshana, an obscure yet daring young publisher.

"It appeared to seamlessly blend fiction with non-fiction: carrying the expansive sweep of a novel, while hinting at an intimate touch of autofiction—its authenticity, however, remaining ambiguous. At the same time, it could be seen as a hybrid—part novel, part collection of short stories. Both profoundly intimate and eminently sociological, the work defies easy classification, thriving in its contradictions."

Lakdhas Wikkramasinha

https://www.poetryfoundation.org/books/reviews/160735/lakdhas-wikkramasinha

'His widow remembers him as “[a] hypersensitive, highly strung, and complicated person.” He taught English at the University of Kelaniya; translated Mandelstam and Lorca into Sinhala; wrote during the first tumultuous decades of an independent #SriLanka; published eight volumes; and—like an earlier Romantic radical, Percy Bysshe Shelley—died by drowning. He left behind an extraordinary oeuvre, but too few readers know the work or even the name of the monumental postcolonial poet Lakdhas Wikkramasinha (1941–1978). “Hardly a photograph of him exists today,” observes Michael Ondaatje, who, with Aparna Halpé, has co-edited this unprecedented bilingual selection of Wikkramasinha for the NYRB Poets series.'
