Hey everyone,

First of all, I want to express my heartfelt appreciation for being a part of our wonderful community. Your presence and support mean so much to us!

We're facing some challenges with our Pixelfed instance, and I want to be transparent with you about our needs. To improve its performance and stability, we need to add more RAM and CPU, especially when handling heavy tasks like Regenerating Thumbnails and refetching remote avatars.

In addition to that, we're encountering an issue with s3 storage. Pixelfed isn't storing local posts to the s3 storage as it should, which could lead to problems in the long run.

I understand not everyone can contribute in the same way, but if you can support us financially, even with a small amount, it would be incredibly helpful. Your generosity will go directly towards addressing these issues and enhancing our platform for everyone's benefit.

Remember, our photography community is not just about photography; it's about coming together, supporting each other, and creating a positive impact on the world.

Thank you for being a part of our community, and let's work hand in hand to overcome these challenges and make our Pixelfed instance even better.

With love and gratitude,
Mitex Leo (Neo)

Hello Wonderful Souls,

Great news! Our S3 storage issue has been gracefully resolved, spreading joy like confetti 🎉. You can now once again unleash your creative works with absolute peace of mind, knowing that they are safeguarded and secure, even in the unlikely event of a server mishap 😉.

Let's dive into a few other updates that we have on our radar, as we strive to make your Pixelfed experience even more delightful:

1. Delightful Files on the Move:
We have a tiny hiccup with our charming migrate2cloud tool, which is responsible for transferring files from local storage to our enchanting S3 storage. Currently, it's unable to move a handful of files (not all of them) due to a delightful bug. This means that files uploaded in the last 1-2 weeks are waiting patiently in our cozy local storage. Fear not, as we eagerly await the genius of @dansup@mastodon.social to weave his magic and find a solution. You can follow the spellbinding progress right here: https://github.com/pixelfed/pixelfed/issues/4514#issuecomment-1622679289

2. Picture Perfect Profile Woes:
Ah, the ever-charming profile pictures! We've received reports, lovingly forwarded by @ami, that profile pictures are a bit camera shy lately. Despite the valiant efforts of our delete button, these pictures seem reluctant to bid adieu. Furthermore, even the most stunning new pictures are struggling to grace your profiles with their presence. Rest assured, our brilliant minds are on the case, working tirelessly to restore the picture-perfect experience you deserve.

3. Vanishing Stories, Unveiling a Solution:
Oh, the fleeting nature of stories! We understand the frustration when your beautifully crafted stories vanish before their time, leaving you longing for more. We reached out to the remarkable Daniel (@(@dansup@mastodon.social) for his extraordinary talents to concoct a remedy. Fear not, dear souls, as he has assured us that a fix is on its way, ensuring your captivating stories remain for the full 24 hours they deserve.

Thank you all for your incredible patience and unwavering support. Your boundless creativity and passion inspire us every day. We cherish the opportunity to make Pixelfed an enchanting corner of the Fediverse, where your artistic spirits can soar.

Wishing you a day filled with wonder and limitless imagination!

With love and admiration,
Your Devoted Admin

My beloved friends,

I wanted to provide you with an update on our Pixelfed instance and share some challenges I am currently facing as the admin. Firstly, our S3 storage, powered by Storj DCS, has reached its segment limit. Since we are on the free plan, which offers a monthly limit of 10,000 segments, some files are being stored locally instead of on S3. I apologize for any inconvenience caused.

Additionally, I recently created a Payoneer account to facilitate fund transfers. I signed up with a local MFS provider, which allowed me to create the account without submitting any documents. However, when I explored the Payoneer mobile app, I misunderstood the purpose of "Receiving Accounts" and mistakenly requested a USD and a Euro account. As a result, Payoneer now requires me to submit additional documents, such as my NID (National ID) and address. I have submitted a printed copy of my NID downloaded from the NID portal, which looks different from the physical card. Unfortunately, Payoneer does not accept this form of verification, despite it being acceptable by other companies. I am currently in communication with their support team to resolve this issue and await their response.

Since I have not yet received my physical NID card, which may take several months, I am facing a delay in the verification process. Consequently, I am currently unable to receive funds through my Payoneer account. However, I am actively exploring alternative options, such as utilizing Monero (XMR) for international transactions. Additionally, I plan to upgrade our Storj account by purchasing Storj tokens.

I sincerely appreciate your understanding and support during this time. Rest assured that I am diligently working to address these challenges and ensure the smooth operation of our Pixelfed instance. Thank you for being part of our community.

Best regards,
Neo

It's been an incredible journey so far, hasn't it? We've built a warm, welcoming home for creatives and lovers of photography, and have seen some truly amazing art and stories being shared on our instance. But we must also remember that our beloved Pixelfed instance requires care and attention in order to thrive. That's why I'm writing to you today to ask for your help in ensuring that our instance remains sustainable and vibrant for many years to come.

As you may know, we will soon be migrating from AWS EC2 to lower costs alternative and make our instance more financially viable in the long run. However, we need your support to make this happen. By donating whatever you can, you'll be directly contributing to the longevity and growth of our community.

But it's not just about the money. It's also about the spirit of togetherness and shared ownership that has made our instance (and the fediverse) special. We're part of a larger movement that aims to build a more democratic and inclusive social media space, free from the domination of big corporations. Our Pixelfed instance embodies this spirit of grassroots community building, and by supporting it, you're helping to advance this cause.

And let's not forget the power of photography as a form of speech for every human being. By coming together on our Pixelfed instance, we're not just sharing pictures; we're sharing pieces of ourselves. We're creating meaning and fostering connection in a world that so often feels alienating and lonely. Every photo uploaded on our instance is an invitation to see the world afresh, to find joy and beauty in the midst of chaos and despair.

So let's work together to keep our Pixelfed instance going strong. Even if you can only donate a small amount, it still means the world to us. Remember that we're in this together, and that every one of us has a role to play in shaping the future of social media and the internet as a whole.

With warmth and love,
Neo

Dear NixOrigians,

I want to sincerely apologize for the issues that some of you have been experiencing with posting and editing images on NixOrigin. I understand that this has caused frustration and inconvenience, and I'm truly sorry for the trouble that this has caused.

I have identified that the issue was due to a misconfiguration (was running Horizon as root user, which caused new directories to be created with wrong ownership and permissions) that has already been fixed. However, I have found that some accounts are still experiencing the issue. I'm working on it.

In the meantime, I have found that a workaround for the issue is to create a new account with the same username. If you would like to change your current account's username, please contact me via email or direct message, and I will do my best to accommodate your request.

If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out to me.

Once again, I apologize for the inconvenience and thank you for your understanding.

Sincerely,

Neo
