I'll be migrating my presence to @bplein today, consolidating into my own instance. See you (from) there!

@autiomaa There is a LetsEncrypt companion container that takes care of this... and I had perfectly valid certs but no symlinks (managed by the companion). So I manually created the symlinks and that solved it, and now I'm out of the doghouse anyhow.

I might have to work out a "rebuild_symlink" script and contribute it back.

@vmstan
I love that you are watching your instance so hard, you catch things that are deleted in seconds (I guess it takes time for eventual consistency to take over)
Anyone out there found a set of #StarWars emoji for import into #mastodon yet?
I was testing adding a CDN to mastodon, and my nginx proxy was going funky, and I blew out my limits with LetsEncrypt. I think that means my sites on that IP address are down for a DAY. Yikes.

Here's my #introduction. I'm Bill, and from a career perspective I've been in IT (mostly vendor side, mostly storage) but in the last 5 years, in/around containers and Kubernetes. I am a sales engineer, and explainer.

At home, my wife and I raised a couple of great (now adult) daughters who are successful in their own lives. We both work mainly from home, with our old cat and two dogs. We moved our then high school daughters from the San Francisco Bay Area to a suburb of Austin Texas in 2012.

Zuck explaining the size of the layoffs in “fish story” terms.

(Lots of good folks are going to be in the job market soon. Let’s find homes for them.)

I've been told this before, sometimes in annual reviews.
I am setting up my own private instance and will migrate from @bplein to here if I find it stable and maintainable.
