#BirdButt is back online!

Sorry for the downtime. Backup of AT&T fiber modem config, factory reset, and restore of config, miraculously fixed the issue. (and I and later support tried fuckin everything before, I was at wit's end and thankfully that worked.. did not want to deal with replacing hw).

That moment you want to toot, but you cant, bc your instance is fucking down.

I'm in AT&T support hell rn trying to find out wtf happened with their modem after this outage.

#BirdButt

Hopefully AT&T isn’t lying and they’re indeed back up in <3.5hrs! #BirdButt

Again sorry for the service interruption!

Warning #BirdButt folks (who can't see this unless they have off-instance alternate accounts too >v<)

AT&T (the ISP) currently has an outage in my area. It began Jan 9 00:35:57 (UTC-6).
Everything should work again once they bring that back up.
Until then there's nothing else I can do, I looked over all my infrastructure—it's all fine. whew!

I have to sleep and an early flight to catch. Hope it's all ok soon!

Sorry for the wait, but Ivory v2.4 is finally available on the App Store! Features support for the official quote posts (assuming your server is running Mastodon 4.5 or later) and we've made big improvements to fetching replies and post metadata in the post detail views.

@artemist is there something going on with your instance?

For some reason sidekiq entries (for my main on birdbutt.com) list notifications being simply for/from mildlyfunctional.gay vs social.mildlyfunctional.gay.
And when I try to retrieve directly from social.mildlyfunctional.gay I get "503 Remote SSL certificate could not be verified"

Things appeared to be fine up thru Dec 2nd, then something must've changed and no longer able to retrieve/process notifications.

The 503 seems to be due to mildlyfunctional.gay using a cert that's only made for manehattan.artem.ist ?

#Rails folks, here's an open letter asking the Rails Core to cut ties with DHH and hard fork Rails to a new project with proper governance.

You can sign with a pull request. Let's show that there's demand for this, and that the community won't appease racists.

It is 7 AM CEST. The EU citizen initiative calling for a ban on "conversion therapy" (here meaning, pseudoscientific attempts to "cure" LGBTQs) is less than 250,000 votes from success. This is astounding, the votes have like, *tripled* in a week.

The page says voting ends "May 17", and I wish I knew if that meant "at midnight tonight" or "midnight tomorrow" or what. Uh. Do you know

Germany is ~6,000 local votes from endorsing it. Are there 6,000 Germans on this website
