QST! Mastodon.hams.social is back up and running! Thank you for your patience! Check back on this thread for a full timeline of what happened.

This should address the "500 Server Error" problems we've been seeing for the last week or two.

Please boost for visibility. Thanks!

QST all mastodon.hams.social users: I found the root cause of the 500 errors when uploading images, and am attempting to address it now. I've applied a quick-but-short-term fix so it should work now, and will hopefully have a working long term fix in place before this one runs out.

Let me know if you have any questions, or are still seeing problems.

QST: I'll be shutting down mastodon.hams.social in the next hour or so (around 2023-06-28 11:00 UTC-7) to increase it's available disk space. It should only be down for a few minutes. Please follow here (@smitty, on a different host so not affefcted by the shutdown) for updates.

Please Boost for visibility.

Testing.
