If the snow brings the utilities down I'm moving the server rack.

How much more storage do you think will be needed for all of the servers to have copies of all of the posts? Maybe that will make the costs much higher for some of the small/medium size servers? I wonder how many Mastodon servers keep every post forever vs keeping something like a couple of years of posts

RE: social.growyourown.services/us…
Anyone put their site behind Cloudflare? It seems like a simple process with just A records. Is the performance and security worth it? I'm looking at the free plan for their CDN/Reverse Proxy/DDoS services.

Did this really just happen? I was browsing no more than 10 minutes ago!

Seeing the big shiny new fediverse #Update appear, I'm reminded of all the wonderful people working really hard behind the scenes everyday here, from our #ServerAdmins to people who help explain what's happening like @FediTips
If you're able could I suggest you give a little donation to them to say thank you for looking after us please!
Have any other #serveradmins upgraded to 4.3.1 and had link previews break? Not sure if I need to make a change in #nginx or in #mastodon
Specifically, link previews from Mastodon in Telegram
Ah, sad to see another fediverse server shutting down. But appreciate that the admins shared their experience, the good and the bad.

Reminder to #serveradmins that there's a Mastodon security update coming at 15:00 UTC today
#Mastodon #ServerAdmins - do you keep your own fork of Mastodon to apply your config and other changes, and manage merges etc in your fork?
Right now I just git stash and update, then git stash apply. I realize this isn't healthy but want to see what other people do.
Welcome me on mastodon.social🥳 ! I migrated from mastodon.green after a number of disagreements there, including the refusal to cover non-Western #languages (the excuse was technical but many #serveradmins believe it is ideological -even blocking it- & I am starting to believe it). The last straw was when my post about the pro #Palestinian #demo in #London was struck down, when I dared mention many #Jews were not #zionists. I will therefore repost it here right away 😀
Hey #serveradmins, when do you schedule your daily backups? In the beginning of the day before you start working, in the middle of the day while you're working (YOLO), or at the end of the day after you're done working?
Moin liebe #Serveradmins ich bräuchte für einen #UptimeKuma + #CoTurn Server eine neue VPS, hatte für das letzte Jahr ne VPS von #IONOS mit 2vCore + 4 GB für 1€ 12 Monate, habt ihr Empfehlungen für neuen Anbieter, würde auch auf 2vCore´s mit 2GB Ram runtergehen aber halt ungerne 10€ bezahlen wie jetzt für die IONOS Maschine.
Nehme gerne Empfehlungen entgegen, wenns geht möglichst lange Vertragslaufzeit.
@matoakit Wayne.social has banned two domains associated with this behavior today. If your server facilitates proxy viewing of non-public content, your domain will be banned here. The server rules will be updated to reflect this change in policy. #mastodon #ServerAdmins #server #instance #admin #MastodonAdmins #ServerAdmin #MastadonAdmin
Frage an die anderen #MastodonAdmins
Ich verstehe nicht so ganz, wieso neue Hashtags noch Orange sind, obwohl ich eingestellt habe, dass diese alle direkt freigeschaltet werden sollen.
Mach ich was falsch?
Erst wenn ich die Markiere und freigebe, sind diese weiß.
But the up side is we're getting some really nice content in our feed over there!
Dear other #fediverse #serveradmins:
Spinning up a #pixelfed instance alongside your #mastodon #pleroma #friendica installs is easy to do.
I just wrote an article to help Mastodon Admins to scale up their servers while so many people are still migrating from Twitter. 🌍️ It explains how to setup an S3 storage solution with any Mastodon Instance running on Digital Ocean Droplets. 💾 Please share with other admins.
