I will be starting the upgrade to v2.9.0 for all Mastodon instances hosted on Masto.host.

There should be less than 1 minute of downtime.

You can read about the release here: https://blog.joinmastodon.org/2019/06/mastodon-2.9/ or the changelog here: https://github.com/tootsuite/mastodon/releases/tag/v2.9.0

Looking for help debugging this #WriteFreely federation issue. Can anyone familiar with #Hubzilla help out? https://writefreely.org/issues/121

Do Not Publish https://blog.cjeller.site/do-not-publish

Both #WriteFreely and #Plume are only a couple stars away from 1,000 on GitHub! Why not send them over the threshold? ⭐

To drill a hole in my head
Makes sense to me
It would make space for the common sense.

Next Friday (7th of June) at 6:00 AM UTC+2 there will be a planned maintenance reboot of an OVH server rack that will affect 3 app servers of Masto.host cloud.

Estimated downtime: 15 minutes

Fun thing to do at the library: walk through the aisles until a book's spine catches your eye. Ideally it's a pretty well-worn book; for this technique to work it needs to have had a fair number of readers over the years.

Grasp the book's spine and hold it so the pages hang down. Find a an air gap where the pages naturally hang open, and read those pages.

Today I found this lovely passage on randomness/entropy in a book called "Paradox" by Jim Al-Khalili.
