Good news! There was no downtime at all. All works have been successfully completed.

Thanks to our fantastic host! 🙏

Hey, everyone! Just a heads up that kosmos.social will be shut down for a few hours this evening (CEST), for some urgent upgrades to the electricity infrastructure at one of our locations.

Media uploads for Kosmos accounts in your chat client and on Gitea may also fail during that time. We hope it won't take very long, but cannot guarantee anything.

Thanks for your patience and understanding! 🙏

We just upgraded https://gitea.kosmos.org to Gitea 1.23. There are a lot of improvements, including a new repository home page, new Markdown editor features, and many more. Check out the full list here:

(In case you hadn't noticed it yet: your Kosmos account comes with a free Gitea account for personal use, and you can contact us if you want to create organization namespaces/accounts.)

Welcome to Mastodon 4.3 on kosmos.social!

We're going to fix the background for content columns asap. Sorry if it's a bit loud right now.

There are a *ton* of new features. Check out the "Added" section in the release notes here for all the details:

Apologies for the downtime over the last hour or so. We ran into issues with our storage cluster again, and unfortunately, we may also have lost some of your uploaded media files this time.

We're still investigating the situation. In the meantime, uploading new media should work just fine now.

After a closed beta period, we just enabled our new @remotestorage service for all kosmos.org (and kosmos.social) users.

Check the new Storage page of your account panel for more info:
