Wake up, babe. There's security updates for mastodon and lemmy waiting for you.
I've updated our installs. I now await the completely rational and unemotional reactions of 16000 people across 5 instances on the new changes to the software.
@jerry How dare you give us security updates!
@jerry That depends on the changes. πŸ˜†
@jerry Somebody moved my cheese and it's all your fault!

@jerry

"but that was my emotional support bug they just fixed!"

@paul_ipv6 @jerry "My spacebar heating!"
@paul_ipv6 @jerry the tongue isopod was *your* emotional support bug??

@llewelly @jerry

do i ask *you* about deeply personal needs? :D

@paul_ipv6 @jerry my apologies, question retracted.
@llewelly @paul_ipv6 @jerry Wow. Judgy aren’t we.
@jerry Only 5? what are the other 3?
@andrew There are, in fact, 12 others. They are running mbin, peertube, pixelfed, writefreely, akkoma, iceshrimp, synapse, and probably some i've forgotten because I'm old
@jerry Oh, your servers. I thought you meant mastodon instances in total (a small ecosystem of nerdy social media users... like modern usenet.)
@andrew @jerry "average person maintains 1 fediverse instance" just a statistical error. The average person maintains 0 fediverse instances. Fediverse Jerry, who lives in an orchid field & maintains over 16 instances is an outlier and should not have been counted.

@jerry

β€œWe’ve encountered a unique opportunity to pivot and optimize our current infrastructure after an unexpected stress test.”

@jerry how could you?!!
@catsalad imagine 5000 cats all staring at you like that. That is what it's normally like after I update mastodon and some visual element has changed
@jerry
I am currently whelmed by the changes

@jerry Are you sure you did it right? Everything appears to still be working.   

Thanks for all you do
