for us it wasn't working even over direct tailnet IPs, so honestly no idea what happened on the inside

restarting everything worked though

tailscale daemon had a moment at 4 AM (JST) and decided that routing traffic is no longer an option

oops

this is really cool actually!! now you can try migrating to a third-party PDS (like ours :3) and if you don't like it there - come back to your previous bluesky-hosted PDS!

hey and this is absolutely unrelated but did you know that japan has extremely permissive social media laws (that even then basically only apply to platform operators with 10M users or more) with no plans to change that any time soon? haha

oh and we also have a publicly-accessible S3 bucket with nightly exports of all accounts so in case we go down you will still be able to get your data (for at least a month) and move somewhere else

worst case scenario (like, an earthquake or smth) - the backup gets rolled out onto a VPS and we’re back
September 2, 2025 at 10:09 PM
in my defense, it’s a synology on a UPS, with two redundant network connections (fiber and 5G), nightly backups, and a backup instance ready to be deployed if something happens to the main one

planning to do some network restructuring later today, the PDS will be switched over to the backup uplink until it's over

might experience a small blip when changing the networks, and slightly worse performance while on the backup connection, but otherwise it should be ok

will reply here when done

Our PDS is physically located in Tokyo, so if your client (like deer.social) doesn't tell the AppView you're somewhere else - thanks to service proxying, the best guess at where you're at, from the AppView's perspective, could only be Tokyo (from the IP address of the PDS).
