Weekend is here so, now the 'No tomes Available' Sidekiq errors are starting to appear like clockwork as businesses that use their services do backups over the weekend put strain on Backblaze B2B and throttles available connections dynamically across their system.

Joy Joy for low-cost media storage of a . We get what we pay for. Luckily, for me, most of that media is from the Fediverse firehouse.

Really wish we could turn off Preview images, esp self-hosts

For the first time the Mastodon server has started to struggle just a little bit to keep up with the flow of the Fediverse.

We’ve usually been “push” heavy but we’ve started to see some spikes in “pull” queue latency. The worst of these spikes was today, where we fell behind by at least a couple minutes for most of the afternoon.

1/?

A pair of graphs showing sidekiq queue latency and enqueued jobs. The queue latency peaked at around 6 minutes at roughly 6pm this afternoon, but was between 1-2 minutes most of the afternoon. The maximum number of messages in queue at any one time was 12000. The majority of the traffic is pull queue.

Does anyone have a good post for generating a post bot? All I keep finding never really seems to make a lot of sense.

We've just defederated from pradva.me. A seemingly empty instance with only 33 users that was producing almost twice the activity as mastodon.social.

We haven't found this instance in public blocklists. Does anyone know about them?

Well, happy !

While my original proposal to hide images in order to highlight the importance of well-written alt text did not gain a whole lot of traction, I'm still glad there was some conversation, and grateful to everyone who is still interested in joining in.

If you do participate, I would love to hear from you!

What should an Admin, or if you're an Admin, what do you do, about someone's post that contains unnecessary extreme profanities attacking a well-known person?

Comments are welcome

Aside from relays and adding elastic search to a mastodon instance does anyone have any other things they do to enhance the user experience?

#Admin #FediAdmin #MastoAdmin

I've received my first "report" on hugs.lgbt and I'm very confused ....

Two posts were reported ... neither were from hugs.lgbt posts ... one was a reply to one of my posts by a mutual, the other was a post by that mutual without any hugs.lgbt involvement ...

Did I receive the report because one of those was a reply to a post of mine?

But why the other one?

Also very confused as to why ... the first was a thank you reply to a post from me.

The other was a meme.

The category was "other" but no notes or any other information that I could discern 🤔 🤷‍♂️

i want to weep

for a year and a half, images from mstdn.social have been unloadable on my instance

pings and traceroutes to mstdn.social from inside of my network die right at the router:

Request timeout for icmp_seq 4
92 bytes from 192.168.0.1: Destination Port Unreachable
Vr HL TOS Len ID Flg off TTL Pro cks Src Dst
4 5 00 5400 178b 0 0000 3f 01 1e6d 192.168.0.200 116.202.14.219

no changes i made on my network fixed it, and i began to suspect my isp had blocked the ip

............
................
............ it turns out, my ipv6 was disabled and mstdn.social needs it for its cdn 😭

Backblaze was down for me for around the last 10 minutes as of this post

Edit: It's still down. Status.backblaze.com has no issues

Sidekiq errorL Aws::S3::Errors::ServiceUnavailable: Service temporarily unavailable, please try again

Images were blank but seem back now

#Backblaze #MastoAdmin
I'm having issues they can't resolve lately. B2B doesn't play nice with Mastodon. Any good, reasonably priced alternatives? Refer-a-friend links won't insult me

🤓🚨 16-hours after I reported the US East outage/disruptions after thousands of S3 errors in SideKiq, Backblaze confirms there are ongoing issues.

Their status page is https://status.backblaze.com/

Current status for US East is, "Users may be encountering intermittent failures on uploads and downloads."

Not sure why he said EU Central...

Between setting up DigitalOcean Spaces [1] for uploaded media and enabling @michael's FediFetcher [2], my experience on a one-person self-hosted Mastodon instance has been greatly improved.

Ok I should really know this but can’t find the setting for the life of me. How do I get a little icon on the bottom right hand corner of my profile picture? just like below

I do not understand how I have almost 8 gb of status data in my database for gardenstate.social. in the last 7 days it grew 8k? at 8k a week my server would have to run for 973 weeks to get to 8 gb.

I often run the cli script that removes unreferenced statuses. I feel like this should be much smaller!

stefan,
@stefan@gardenstate.social avatar

1.71 GB of EMOJI?

7.13 GB of avatars?

shouldn't the cli script that removes unreferenced statuses make this much smaller?

My server only has 70 - 100 active users a month!

#mastoadmin experimenting with non-permanent suspends so i did this quick, possibly fragile script intended to use with cron (yes, it might need to be a loop for multiple ids n stuff but for now it was an edge case) might expand the script later on: https://git.tchncs.de/milan/tchncs-scripts/-/blob/main/moderation/mastodon-unsuspend.sh

PSA: If you're getting Error 500 messages from mastodon when trying to upload images from mobile: You're probably trying to upload a HEIC/HEIF image and the fastimage gem errors out.

Easy fix: search for fastimage in Gemfile.lock, change version to 2.3.0 and run bundle install. Then restart mastodon services.

There is a PR that has already been merged but it did not make it into a mastodon release it seems: https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/28488

645 days after setting up my own Mastodon instance, I finally tackled tuning my Postgres database config last wk & today setup multiple Sidekiq Processes after my queue got to 10K for the second time this wk

I read the guides multiple times over those 645 days but it never clicked in my head. I was afraid to mess with Sidekiq because I didn't want to brick my instance.

Then today, during the thunderstorm, the old grey cells clicked in and I understood.

Queue cleared up quickly

2/ I'm sure others can add or even help me with anything I got wrong, or how I can improve this, but here is what I did today out of urgency to scale my Mastodon Sidekiq processes and jobs after getting backlogged twice this week.

This night is also a great stress test for my server :blob_smile_sweat: Last year it was wonderful to see how well my baby manages. By now it certainly has enough resources to take in tons of posts.

Hey , how do you go about funding your communities?

Thanks everyone for voting, and sharing the poll!

I'd also love to hear what kind of paid benefits you offer to your community, for those who do.

Yeah, I'd call this a problem somewhere. open files of the mastodon user, which just runs mastodon.

So it seems it's possibly a bug, but the odd thing is that it doesn't hit everyone.
