Done!
Updated to v4.4.1 of the mastodon server software.
https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/releases/tag/v4.4.0
https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/releases/tag/v4.4.1
GitHubRelease v4.4.0 · mastodon/mastodonUpgrade overview
This release contains upgrade notes that deviate from the norm:
⚠️ The minimum supported version for Redis has been bumped to 6.2
⚠️ The minimum supported version for PostgreSQL ha...
Edit: done.
We now have 24G ram and 6 CPU cores.
This should keep everything ticking along nicely rather than pegging the CPU all the time.
Mastodon.Radio server will be rebooting "soon" to upgrade the vps.
(Chloe) reposting without all those uneccesary hashtags in the post:
Heads up Sharkey admins when upgrading...
If you have a lot of data in your instance database, running pnpm run migrate might fail because one or more of the ALTER TABLE... statements might actually timeout on your PostgreSQL server!
To fix this, attach yourself to your sharkey database and enter the following...
ALTER DATABASE sharkey SET statement_timeout = '10min';
ALTER ROLE sharkey SET statement_timeout = '10min';pnpm run migrate command again.#SharkeyAdmin #InstanceAdmin

We're back!
Sorry for the downtime, the overnight backup used the last spare space and the old backup files weren't being deleted and @M0YNG was asleep

Gerne boosten!
Ich brauche mal etwas Hilfe: Ich betreibe eine eigene Mastodon-Instanz (bzw. Sharkey), aber irgendwas mache ich wohl falsch. Mein Profilbild und das Verifizierungs-Icon neben meinem Namen werden nur lokal angezeigt – auf anderen Instanzen scheint es nicht synchronisiert zu werden.
Woran könnte das liegen?

Hi everyone at BSD Cafe,
I’d like to start by thanking everyone for being part of this community - your presence and support truly mean a lot!
This message will appear across all my BSD Cafe social accounts, as I’d like to make sure it reaches everyone. Apologies for the duplication, but I genuinely believe it’s important.
Lately, there have been some discussions and questions surrounding content moderation on our instance, and I wanted to take a moment to offer some clarity and reaffirm the spirit of our community.
As you know, BSD Cafe was founded as a space primarily focused on technology, with a special place for *BSD and open source. More importantly, though, I want it to be a positive, welcoming, and constructive place for everyone. Our community guidelines, especially principles like "Promote Positivity" and "Be Kind", are central to this vision.
I've seen questions arise, sometimes involving accusations of political censorship from different perspectives, regarding why certain posts might be moderated. I want to be very clear on this: My moderation approach focuses primarily on the tone and manner of communication, not the specific topic itself.
I don't intervene simply because a post discusses politics, a particular tech company, or any potentially divisive subject. I do step in when a post, regardless of the topic or the viewpoint being expressed, adopts a tone that is:
* Provocative or intentionally confrontational.
* Aggressive or disrespectful towards other users or groups.
* Overly negative without constructive intent.
* Contrary to our core principles of kindness and mutual respect.
This standard applies equally to everyone and every "side". If someone were to post something like "Users of X software are idiots", I would address that just as readily as any other topic presented in a hostile way, even if I personally dislike software X.
The goal isn't to "censor" opinions, but to preserve an environment where discussions, even critical ones, can happen civilly and respectfully, without descending into flame wars or personal attacks. We aim to be a space that is pro-constructive dialogue and pro-positivity, not anti-anyone.
BSD Cafe is our shared digital home. Let's continue working together to keep it a pleasant and rewarding place where we can share ideas, learn, and connect over our shared passions (tech and beyond!), feeling comfortable and respected.
Thank you sincerely for your understanding and for everything you contribute to making BSD Cafe a special community!
Let's keep building this positive space together.

Instance updated to 0.18.3 #gotosocial #gotosocialadmin #instance #instanceadmin
Mastodon.radio has been bumped to v4.3.4 of the server software.
GitHubRelease v4.3.4 · mastodon/mastodonWarningThis release includes important security fixes.
Corresponding releases are available for the 4.2.x branch and the 4.1.x branch.
NoteIf you are using nightly builds, do not use this release ...
let's say i set up a local *key instance or something and i shut down my computer for the night
as i understand it, no one would be able to pull any profiles from the instance and no posts, replies, anything during that time would federate over to it. is this correct? #sysadmin #fediadmin #instanceadmin
Instance updated to v4.3.3 of mastodon server software.
Apologies for the downtime.
Server ran out of disk space when doing the daily backups.
(A compressed backup of the database is 14G, and older files are manually cleared. (Or not, in this case!))
"It's not supported across the #Fediverse to switch between implementations on the same domain."
Is this condition ever going to change? #instanceadmin
