Currently Masto.host is experiencing the highest volume of traffic that has ever reached the infrastructure.

The service is partially degraded and I will be doing fast upgrades on the platform.

These can lead to partial downtime, errors and large delays in support requests.

Really sorry. Doing the best I can on my end. Hope you understand. Thanks.

by the way if you are like me and host mastodon in #yunohost. if you migrate to new debian version, do a forced an upgrade of mastodon after. (it basically refreshes it without erasing your data)

(some maintenance tasks might not run otherwise and can cause your media cache to balloon up)

I keep seeing lots of long-time #fediverse users saying 'don't favourite posts it does nothing' but actually when you favourite my posts it makes me smile and I'm sure I'm not the only one.

Now the way the Internet Archive is doing mastodon is how more organisations and celebs should be joining the fediverse!

They have a dedicated in house instance, which lets you identify official staff, and gives them control and security over their content, whilst also allowing people and instances to opt in or out of interacting with them

Kudos for doing it right @internetarchive!

i'm not gonna post actively on this instance again given how it's spinning down, but i will prolly install a single-user instance of something non-mastodon soon, what's good? seems pleroma recovered a bit from its social issues, and misskey improved its performance and gained a pair of friendly feature forks. calckey might be good idk

also i've been on cohost last few days people are nice there ( https://cohost.org/AriaSalvatrice )

This is the Fixometer. It registers community repair events such as repair cafes and restart parties and records the data from these events. The data then joins data from a network of global partners, it's published and used in campaigns and policies. #OpenData #RightToRepair https://openrepair.org/open-data/insights/

Weekly-ish recap: usability improvements in @GIMP, bugfix releases in @krita, new Ardour release, new features in Olive.
