Jos huomaat pientä hikottelua täällä mementomori.socialin puolella, ajamme parhaillaan uusimpia päivityksiä sisään, voi olla pientä tökkimistä/katkoa tässä klo 17-19 välillä. Edellisestä päivityksestä on 22 päivää, joten hieman muutoksia kelattavissa. 👍

If you notice a slight hiccup here on mementomori.social, we are currently pushing in the latest updates, there may be a slight glitch/interruption here between 17-19. It's been 22 days since the last update. Hang in tight.

#MementomoriSocialFi #MementoMoriSocial #MastoAdmin


We will be updating our servers to the latest versions today between approximately 5 PM and 7 PM (EET / UTC+2).

This should not cause any significant downtime. However, brief interruptions ranging from a few seconds to a minute may occur. We apologize for any inconvenience.

You can check the status at: status.mementomori.social

Was there a #DigitalOcean burp today for NYC3 spaces? I had 678 timeouts over the half a day sitting in my Sidekiq morgue #Mastoadmin. I guess that isn't too bad considering the volume of posts that comes down the federated firehose, but it's been a while since this has happened.


Hm, there appears to be a new Fediverse search thingy around, this time incorporating AI somehow:

seewallee.com/

Anyone know how it works and how it ingests data?

#mastoadmin


I've been getting a lot of Mastodon sidekiq errors: ActivityPub:ProcessingWorker "ActiveRecord::StatementInvalid: PG::CardinalityViolation: ERROR: ON CONFLICT DO UPDATE command cannot affect row a second time HINT: Ensure that no rows proposed for insertion within the same command..."

It always comes back to a post that is from "snac/2.71"

The specific argument starts out with:

post ID (I think), "{\n \"@context\": \"https://www.w3.org/ns/activitystreams\",\n \"type\": \"Update\",\n \"id\".....redacted

#MastoAdmin question.

I have looked everywhere…

is there not a way to direct a message to every user on an instance? Either through a mass private message, or a mass email?

Seems like a basic functionality for a 'community’ type system.

Thanks!

#Mastodon


Despite user growth being +1858% the database and media storage been very, very stable. I'm glad there are enterprise things like S3. I'm feeling more and more confident in my server stack skills.

This dude just compared discussing abortion pills to a bomb threat.

What the fuck.

#Fediblock #FediAdmin #MastoAdmin


#Fediblock @ ginny@social.ginny.today for harassing and threatening a Fediverse developer.

Fucking ridiculous.

Grow up. This is why Fedi usability sucks.

#FediAdmin #MastoAdmin


When I've blocked a domain on Mastodon, like bird.makeup, why do accounts from that domain still show up in searches? That's the reason I blocked it. I don't want my searches to show those accounts.

#MastoAdmin


This is why people should use Fediverse social media and should leave corporate-owned social media, even those who are currently on seemingly non-threatening media like #Bluesky which will eventually become like the rest. piefed.social/post/456740#[url…[/url] (2/2)


The single biggest expense we have is storage of media files attached to Mastodon posts. To reduce these costs, I'm considering the following options. It would be very helpful to know which (if any) you would be okay with.

NB. This is just to gauge what people think – there's no concrete plans to do any right now. Assuming income doesn't improve (see above), there are other technical measures we could try to reduce storage costs.

If you use #NameCheap for anything, another round of "Your Auto-Renewal Payment Didn’t Go Through" phishing emails are hitting inboxes. #infosec

Where they are getting real emails that link up to real domain renewal whois records, esp if you use domain privacy options, I'm not sure. They sent it to a dedicated email account that I use exclusively for Namecheap that shouldn't be in the publicverse.

In January 2025, our user base has grown by approximately 3000%. On a typical day in 2024, we processed just under a million interactions per day. However, following the Great Migration Part 2 in January, that number has doubled. While we can certainly handle the increase, the data is fascinating.

How can I allow this image resolution in mastodon?

#mastoadmin #mastodon


Just made the current LLM powered bottleneck calculations for my server. My own calculations showed more like 2000 - 5000, but this is good news.

I'm not going to grow this as big though. The first test limit for me is 1000 users max. I need to see Eurovision goes smoothly.

The storage should be foolproofed for eternity, except we might have to add more SSD for the database after 20 years or so.

Dear community and #mastoadmin!

I want to make a list of #Mastodon content Scheduling tools to share with educational social media teams.

It can be part of a bigger Social Media Management Platform such as Buffer or Publer, but it should at least support scheduling content to publish to a Mastodon account.

If you know one, or have some experience with them (good or bad) please share!

Open Source, As a Service, payed, free(mium), all good!


This is the next battleground. I hope all #MastoAdmin moderators are on their toes.

"The narratives propagated by these accounts are consistent with previous Doppelgänger activities. They aim to undermine support for Ukraine, sow discord within German politics, and incite gender-based animosity. The operation employs tactics such as bulk account creation, inauthentic commenting, and the use of local personas to enhance credibility."

What I love about Mastodon is that how it scales. Our user count has doubled in a very short time period. Despite of this, there is virtually no effect in performance.

It's all about resource optimization though. Server clustering is the key.

The current version of Ultra Accessible Plus+ theme on mementomori.social:

- Different colors for links, mentions and hashtags

Source code (depends on Mastodon Bird UI): github.com/ronilaukkarinen/mas…

Just released a very tiny Mastodon Bird UI release, nightly version v2.1.2rc7 for Mastodon v4.4.0-alpha.2.

- Fix default gap in status prepend
- Add read more font size to accessibility theme in README.md

#BirdUI #MastodonBirdUI #MastoAdmin #Accessibility


We now have "plus" version of our Ultra accessible theme that has 200% font size enabled by default. Thanks for the suggestion @mustikkasoppa. Sorry for the quick restart and ~5sec break you might have encountered.

#MementoMoriSocial #MastoAdmin #Accessibility


@daniel Yeah it should not be impossible to do. You can fetch the post content via API, should be rather trivial technical-wise. Sure, there is a lot more to it, but it has been done and more than possible to do.

#QuotePosts #QuotePost #MastoAdmin


I wonder what's the status with Quote Posts? We kinda have every feature imaginable, but not quote posts. I have personally not missed them, but I know many do.

FYI: You can always link a post and it should generate a preview card of that post, doesn't really work for your own messages though (bug: github.com/mastodon/mastodon/i…)

FYI2: You can use Quote Post functionality in apps like Mona for iPhone.

#MastoAdmin #Mastodon


@vsitante Cool! Thank you for your report, I'll test later on today myself as well on the problematic Linuc machine.

Changes I did yesterday: github.com/mastodon/mastodon/i…

#MastoAdmin


The saga continues.

Confirmed and reproduced:

Image problem occurs if the server uses Cloudflare R2 and the user uses Firefox (or based on Firefox) browser that has ECH enforced without fallback and Studies not allowed. Studies is enabled by default so most of the users do not see this problem.

Cloudflare has moved ECH under Pro plan and it was disabled by default. I purchased Pro and switched it on.

I myself did not see images yet, but it might be my DNS cache. Gotta try again later.

If you use Firefox like explained in this post and see images at mementomori.social - then I succeeded fixing this.

A very corner case thing!

#MastoAdmin #MementoMoriSocial


@slake No I don't mean you should change http3 flag to false, I set it to false from the Cloudflare's end.

However, now I see why they get fixed for me, every time I restart Firefox my `network.dns.echconfig.fallback_to_origin_when_all_failed` is set to true. I don't know why. Because that flag fixes it.

This is so weird.

#MastoAdmin


Another thing I just did, I set HTTP/3 off. Not sure if these things help.

Still can't reproduce of this super weird Firefox issue. Many people see the images, some don't.

#MastoAdmin #Cloudflare #CloudflareR2


Changed Cloudflare SSL settings to less strict.

If you (anyone) see this and use Firefox, do the images show up now at mementomori.social?

This issue bugs me, because I still can't see the problem on any of my machines (Mac, Windows, Linux). It's difficult to fix something you don't see.

#MastoAdmin #MementoMoriSocial


I need some more information about an issue, so here's a general question: does the media files load up for you at mementomori.social on Firefox? Personally have not yet been able to reproduce. Using Cloudflare R2z

<sysadmin stuff>

The AWS SDK for S3 suddenly stopped working for my non-AWS object stores (DigitalOcean, R2, etc)...and I thought I was losing my mind.

Well, looks like AWS decided to stop allowing others to leverage/freeload their software for use on competing services.

Understandable-ish, but doing it suddenly, know that stuff would break - on top of AWS blatantly making bank on services based on OSS software - well, that makes for some very bad karma. :sad_dog:

#DigitalOcean #mastoadmin #aws #cloudflare


We just released Mastodon 4.3.3, 4.2.15 and 4.1.22. They contain a few bug fixes as well as a security fix (medium severity, github.com/mastodon/mastodon/s…)

We recommend every instance administrator to update as soon as possible.

If you are using our nightly releases, a container image with the fix has been published with the `nightly.2025-01-17-security` tag.

Full release notes and update instructions are available on our GitHub release page: github.com/mastodon/mastodon/r…
