Now that friendica.world seems (somewhat) stable, there's more to be done 😀
First, we need to setup a test instance so we can test big changes before deploying on the main instance.
Then, we need to move the media storage from the database to S3 (test it first..)

Also, we have configured some VMs which can take part of the Friendica instance so we can scale for better performance, but we need to cutover to that...

Enough to do still!

If there's anyone that would like to join the team and help out, let me know! Basically looking for IT enthousiasts. Some knowledge of Linux is required, knowledge of docker would be nice but can also be taught while doing.
Apart from the tasks mentioned above, we also manage the infra for about 15 other instances so there's always something to do. It's all on a volunteer basis.
We have a nice team going on, we communicate in Slack. DM me if you're interested!!!

Ken jij 'm nog, De Digitale Stad? Dit internetplatform was in de jaren '90 voor veel Nederlanders hun eerste kennismaking met het internet. Het internet werd hier vormgegeven als een echte stad, waar iedereen een eigen 'huis' als homepage kon maken.

In 2001 ging de stekker eruit, maar de bronbestanden zijn gelukkig bewaard gebleven en sinds een paar jaar in de KB gearchiveerd.

The win at the #Oscars of #blender made film #Flow shows just what is possible when #FreeSoftware and #OpenSource takes itself seriously and doesn't confine itself to being made by or made for *just* hobbiests.

It IS possible to get great, industry leading software, and make it ethically by focusing on the business, the economics, the design as well as the engineering of the problem.

Users must be served; developers must be paid.
