There’s something about being able to immediately identify what an error is and resolve it quickly to give oneself a little confidence boost.

#WebDev #ServerAdmin

neondystopia.world is an instance that values freedom of expression and equity above all else, something that I thought a devout christian like yourself would have valued. After all, Jesus too was prosecuted for his expression. We have fair and equitable guidelines for our users and moderators, ensuring that any reports filed are compared against our own rules and that of the instance the report originated from. We even investigate reports on staff independently to ensure they are peer reviewed and free from bias. We go above and beyond what most do to ensure that we maintain a comfortable and inclusive environment by carefully balancing free expression with fairness and equity. Choosing instead to deal with people on a case-by-case basis rather than blanket banning entire instances.

I don't take slander of our instance lightly, and wanted to leave you with a scripture in hope that you may reflect on your decision.

Matthew 7:1-5 “*Judge not, that you be not judged. For with the judgment you pronounce you will be judged, and the measure you give will be the measure you get. Why do you see the speck that is in your brother’s eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye? Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when there is the log in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother’s eye.*"

Dear #mastoadmins, I'd like to improve the current setup using #caddy and #podman #compose. Is anyone using #podman #quadlet with #systemd? Also I understand that having the connection between caddy reverse proxy and mastodon via sockets is very cool and I'd like to give this a try as well.

Systemd is now offering keeping podman quadlet containers up to date by itself. Maybe this one can be leveraged as well.

Hey, all! Currently thinking about rules for a mastodon instance I'm putting together with a friend. What are some rules that you wish your server had? Or rules that would make you feel confident in joining a new server? I'm all ears!

(Please boost if you're so inclined.)

If you are not following my very good friend @thathackergirl , make sure you go follow her.

She runs a server called #bmorepunkdotsocial

If you're running any of our firewall scripts, you'll probably want to update them!

They're all now reworked to keep their defined iptables chains attached to the top of the INPUT chain, to make sure default policies don't just override them. At least two of our servers had ended up not actually blocking IPs before this rewrite.

I'm off to bed while James continues! The backup transfer should complete by around 1AM, then the real migration and standup of the new server will take place.

If all goes super smooth, things might be up and running before I wake up around 8AM... or we might not. Fingers Crossed for smooth sailing and next updates in the morning!

The #SocialBC migration has begun!
Backup is generating.
Updated the migration page... socialbc.org/socialbc/migratio

And just a little nervous... a big moment for our little Society of Open Social Servers of British Columbia experiment!!

So there's a security update for Mastodon. I don't really feel like it, but I'm waiting for my next load to be ready and I'm bored. So, fine. I guess I'll update my instance. 😤

Anyway, if I disappear, that's what happened.

Performed a migration of my biggest client's biggest website to a new server, and the performance improvement is shocking. It's a beast of a #WordPress site.

Old server had MariaDB 5.5 and now we're on MariaDB 11.4. Plugin updates went from like 45 seconds to 2-3 seconds each.

Absolutely incredible. And the migration went pretty smoothly. 😎

My little :gotosocial: server was running short of space, so I thought remote media cache gone too big. Turns out, old server logs were bigger :blobcatroll:

Reclaimed 30 GB of space in a blink, yay :blobcathappy:

I've just installed OpenCloud, and it's pretty good. A new self hosted open source cloud sync server. It's still lacking features and a bit basic, but the backend is written in Go, and the front in Vue / Typescript, so it's really light and snappy - compared to similar apps written with PHP.

https://opencloud.eu/en/features

I have it running alongside Nextcloud, and haven't decided yet if I'm replacing it. Though, the reason I went looking for alternatives anyway, is because Nextcloud has been feeling more and more bloated and sluggish.
