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 🤔 🤷♂️
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

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
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? #mastoadmin#mastodon 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!
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.
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.
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.
We just published our first Trunk & Tidbits post! This will hopefuly be a monthly update where we showcase what we worked on last month, and what's coming next.
I hope this will bring more visibility to all the efforts and love that put on Mastodon
We merged a migration yesterday and it is far too expensive to run on large servers, so we are rolling it back. If you already applied it, please check the link above to revert it before upgrading.
It is probably best to skip today's nightly build, if you did not deploy it yet.
So, creating a block to refuse media doesn't affect the blocked domain's ability to create Preview Cards?
I created several media blocks for instances, esp bot instances that I want to come across posts or follow a few accounts, hoping to control my media storage and stop unnecessary media downloads and SideKiq jobs on posts that will only be stored in my search database from the federated timeline, but the preview cards are still being created. #MastoAdmin#MastoDev
That feel when you tweak something on another service for a totally different product and it knocks Mastodon out but you don't notice for like a day so now you need to advise the world that, no, tails.ch is not dead, just did a oopsie. 👀 #mastoadmin
1 TB of storage (an outrageous amount of storage if you ask me) is what you need for 35 active users, and it'll cost you €14/mo at Scaleway (European cloud provider). On top of that comes €38/mo for the web server, counting in at €52/mo.
Can you imagine how expensive it gets for a popular instance?
*Use /search for search (/search?query=something)
*Move account secrets to a dedicated table (and encrypt it?)
*Add a way for the user to select which languages they understand
*Allow admins to configure instance favicon and logo
*Allow searching for hashtags in admin UI
*Convert Redux state to Typescript #MastoAdmin#devops#Programmers#dev.
