Well, it looks like we're back - some time between 1130 and 1730 on wednesday, my server shit the bed and either deprecated or deleted Ruby, Rails, and nvm, to name but a few, rendering this instance completely un-usable - a 502 error was less than helpful, but luckily my YuNoHost install gave me some basic details I could use as a clue to trouble-shooting.
Unfortunately, these got me part of the way there, but there was still something missing - so I decided to re-install from a backup.
Which was easier said than done, it took some time to realise that I needed to completely remove Mastodon instead of installing the backup over the top.
In between, I was running some experiments with other Fedified apps, just in case I couldn't get this back up.
But I'm back now (I think!), and hoping to not have to suffer withdrawal any more.
It's funny that I kept wanting to come on here to ask for hints to fix the whole thing, but couldn't for what should be obvious reasons!

#IMBack removed all the fun of film photography, and all the convenience of digital photography. This is kind of an anti-product. (kri)

I saw a concept for this a decade ago, a nifty idea if you don't think about it too much.

Actually building this means it turned out much more bulky and impractical (I recommend watching the video if you're curious).

While prices for film and development have gone up over the last 10 years, mirrorless cameras became really affordable, so it makes much more sense to just use old lenses with those.

If you want the look and feel of an old camera, just search for an Olympus OMD or a Fuji XT 10 (this one even gives you film simulation) used and get an adapter.

For the amount of money they're charging you could also just try out actually shooting on film.

Sorry for the break! Long story short, I had to get stitches after a crafting related accident. Drew a picture of Sonic to get myself in the spirit of a swift recovery!

I'm back after a comedy of errors for my little Raspberry Pi, where mastodon have lived for a few years.

3 things pretty much happened at the same time. The router that the Pi lives behind, got an update that threw the settings that pointed to the pi out of sync.

Something cause the nginx server to fail to load problery and therefore gave 502 error and other timeouts.

And last but not least the free dns service, I had running pointing to the pi, stopped sending http trafic to the Pi, where telnet, wget and ssh etc happily were pasted onwards when I wanted to play with sudomakecake.ddns.net.

Hence, the update to a VPS and https://sudomakecake.com, since the Pi struggled with updating mastodon and the traffic over wifi. Now its retired to IRC and backup duties which should result in less faff/stress/downtime for me.

Sadly I looks like I have lost access to the old install and therefore can't get my posts or followers and followings in a easy way, so have to build it up manually.
