proud of little #footiMac. 2008 Core2 Duo iMac with 16GB RAM and a 1.5TB SSD

She's done excellent work in her space under the stairs. nearly a full year of uptime and chugging away doing Mastodon, Pixelfed (until just now), weewx Weather server, homebridge, streaming relay point, and general web server.

My next trick will be to see if I can move mastodon from using local storage for media to using cloud storage. I'm at about 70% usage now, so it's time.

Your old computers always have a purpose friends! Don't throw them away!

When I wrote my last post above I got an error from my instance that the post was over the 500 character limit. Which is odd, since I have the limit set to 2000 on my instance.

Sure enough, it looks like somewhere along the line I blew away the config files that had been edited to enable the longer posts.

So consider this a test to see if I have correctly re-applied the hack, which is what it is, and completely unnecessarily, in the code for mastodon when this should be a simple switch/option in the admin panel!

(edit: confirmed: 2000 character limit restored)

#selfhost v4.4.1 upgrade complete! Phew that was a long one. But I think I found the root of the issue in the zombie pixelfed install. Maybe it had a memory leak (it wasn’t a current version) or maybe it was just too much for #footiMac.. but it was definitely slowing things down. Things are much more responsive now in general. I guess that brings the pixelfed testing to an end for now. But I'll probably bring it back up elsewhere if I get a chance.

i think my pixelfed install has been slowing down #footiMac! I stopped it temporarily just to see if it would help and things sped up and responded immediately. So I may keep my pixelfed instance offline for the foreseeable future. I don't use it anyway. Maybe i'll test it out on my external host rather #footiMac just to take away any multi-hosted issues.

I'm now at 4.4.0 and am now moving to 4.4.1. Should be done shortly!

Will be starting the process of updating my home #selfhost mastodon server to 4.4.1 (from 4.3.9) in a few minutes.

So if you have any troubles connecting to me, please come back in a little while once #footiMac has finished chewing. She's just a little 2008 iMac under my basement stairs after all! :+D

There may not be an interuption at all.. but you never know. If you're looking for me, I'll be on @chris@socialbc.ca

Our #Sharkey one-stop #upgrade script worked beautifully, and just finished using it to upgrade Sharkey here on bofh.social! #SharkeyAdmin

If you're considering #Plex as a #MediaServer I would advise you to avoid it like the plague, particularly if you're considering spending money on a subscription.

The recent "upgrade" was anything but an #upgrade, breaking numerous functions, seeing regression bugs, changes in functionality and compatibility for devices that were not previously announced, and seemingly no plan to resolve these issues once they presented themselves. With a huge influx of support issues on the forum and a significant amount of people reporting #CompleteFailure their response was not ownership or even acknowledgement and a pause of the rollout and/or roll-back to a working version was not even entertained. The only solution for many was to roll back to a previous version (if you could find the binaries) but then back end changes meant that subsequently #failed also leaving many with non-functional servers.

Support pages on their internet page are being edited or removed post-rollout to remove information about compatible hardware that no longer works after the update.

I would rank this rollout as one of the worst I have ever experienced and has cemented the fact that they do not care about #Support or good #Software distribution practices but instead will take your money and leave you with a completely unusable product and barely any support.
