Slight change of plans. Part of this update requires upgrading PostgreSQL to a later version. This is more of an involved process than upgrading the Mastodon version, so out of an abundance of caution I am going to test the Postgres upgrade in a test […]

For anyone who signed up recently and experienced long delays in getting their accounts confirmed, that was due to me dealing with a lot of real life stuff right about the time that the BlueSky exodus was happening.

Everyone should be confirmed now but if you did not get a confirmation email […]

Looks like we had an outage today do to the certs expiring. I had thought I had renewed those early, but evidently I did not. We've also got a bug fix version of Mastodon I need to install so I am going to go ahead and do that now since we're already in an […]

I just want to let everyone know that I am aware of the situation regarding Randahl Fink. That's about as much as I want to say about it at the moment because I want to take some time to gather all the facts and (hopefully) calmly consider them. Generally […]

Hey folks, I want to give you all an update on what's been going on with me lately. I haven't been around as much as I should be, which is a generous way of saying that I've been dropping the ball quite a bit over the last few months. It would be easy to just say that I've been busy and move on […]

Look, it's simple. We all want to be safe. We all want to not be hungry. We all want to be warm. We all want to be comfortable.

It's just that some of us also want this for others, and not just ourselves.

And we are back! I have completed my database maintenance and we are now on the latest version of Mastodon. I still have some more work to do on the database, but I can do that at a later date. I think that was plenty of downtime for one evening […]

I need to do some server maintenance as well as get us upgraded to the latest version of Mastodon. I'm going to be doing some work on the database, which means taking the server down to make a full snapshot before I start. This means we'll be offline for […]

Aix sponsa: The Wood Duck. A wooden duck, or a duck of the wood? Would you know the difference? Would that you could. And what wood would a wood duck duck if a wood duck could duck wood? No wood, for a wood duck would never shirk its sylvan duties. He so reveres the wood that he locks his child […]

Polls are fixed! I've been getting reports since mid March about an issue with polls not recording all votes. After digging around in the database a bit I found that polls with more than four options would only record local votes. I submitted this as a bug […]
