EDIT: We've gone live with a pilot of Pixelfed over at https://pawb.ink -- Sign In with Mastodon is enabled, so hit "Login" then "Sign In with Mastodon"!

For furry artists, photographers, animators, and others on the fediverse (and beyond)—

Would a Pawb Social run version of Pixelfed (https://pixelfed.org) with high file size limits be of interest / use to the community?

With our recent upgrades we’ve done our storage capacity has massively increased, so we’re wanting to consider new services to offer!

Now, instead of seeing the generic "404 page not found" error when we restart our services, this page will be displayed explaining the issue more accurately and clearly.

This will typically show up when we restart the services or when a container running a service becomes unavailable, but these conditions should only last at most a minute or two.

You'll still see a differently worded error page served directly by Cloudflare if / when our router goes completely offline.

Finally, we've also added references to https://status.pawb.social in addition to our Telegram channel.

Going forward, we'll be ensuring the status site is updated with any maintenance or outages in the same manner as we do on Telegram, in addition to announcements posted on platform (for upcoming maintenance).

What if someone told pawb.social: "PERISH"

but we said, "No, thank you."

#PawbSocial trends update for #PawbFun and #FurryEngineer today, 2024-10-31.  

Today is spoopy day, so I bulk allowed all furries that showed up on the trending list. This means right now the Explorer -> Posts section should be filled with furry halloween stuff! 🐰

🚧 Revised Maintenance for Sept 4-5

We’ll be reattempting the data migration to the new NAS after having identified the issues with ElasticSearch and Redis.

We will be taking the services offline tomorrow (Wed, Sept 4th) at 10 PM US Mountain Time. We expect the data migration and service restoration should be completed by Noon on Thursday, Sept 5th.

Thank you for your patience and understanding during this maintenance!

Please see https://t.me/s/pawbsocial/197 for more information.

🚧 8/30 Infrastructure Maintenance

We’ll be performing an overnight data migration from the shared NAS to the new dedicated Pawb.Social NAS.

The maintenance will take place overnight from 11 PM US Mountain Time, and is expected to be online again by 11 AM US Mountain Time on Saturday, Aug 31st (tomorrow).

We’ll do our best to have the services back online sooner assuming the remaining transfer and file verification completes early.
