Instance on GotoSocial updated to 0.21.0 #instanceadministration #instanceupdate #gotosocial
And that's it, all done. With as minimal downtime as I could manage, as promised. #InstanceAdministration
As promised, here is your notification of impending downtime. #InstanceAdministration
Hi all. After a long wait, it's finally time for a Mastodon upgrade. All going to plan, this shouldn't take very long at all, maybe a couple minutes. I'll post when the downtime is expected to start. #instanceAdministration
Crossing my fingers and hoping that the changes I made to my GoToSocial config don't break things. It was mostly tweaking character limits for poll choices and media descriptions. Considering setting up S3 storage in the near future, but I figure I'll wait until my recent changes have settled a bit. #GoToSocial #InstanceAdministration #PollOptions #MediaDescriptionOptions
Question for other GoToSocial instance admins: If you're running a single-user instance like I am, does it make sense to have terms & conditions? I'd rather not make things more complicated than I have to. Already got some rules in place, so T&C's just feel like overkill. #AskFedi #GoToSocial #InstanceAdministration #TermsAndConditions

3. Several other instance admins have communicated with Meta under NDA about this project, which is not at all what these kind of communities are about.

If there are any issues with this, please do let me know.

Will be some downtime in an hour or so while I upgrade the instance to mastodon 4.1.0. #instanceAdministration
Probably going to be some instance downtime within the next week while I work on implementing a proper backup solution and move much of our remote media handling to an ness3 bucket. Likely the biggest headake is going to be enginex, because I want to cache *some* remote media, just so we're not hitting the bucket every time. I'll post before this happens though, I just wanted to make everyone aware it was coming. #instanceAdministration

I'm off to a later start today than I had planned, but I expect that we will be upgrading mastodon today.

Things might go down for a little while or be unresponsive.

Most of you know how to reach me if you need anything, and I'll be at @ajr throughout the day.
