!fnetworks The Nu.Federati.Net instance has raised its character limit from 4096 to 8192. Enjoy your new, longer posts. -

All !fnetworks servers are back online. -

Not promising, but I may try to have an #OfficeHours voicechat on the !fnetworks #Mumble server. I'll post the link if & when it happens.
I'm currently in US-Pacific, so expect somewhere around 19:00-20:00 my time. -

Expect some outages to all !fnetworks servers over the next few days. We're updating and rebooting the underlying software. -

!fnetworks There was an outage on SUR1, which currently hosts both the nu and n0 instances. The disk filled up during an overnight backup, taking down the database. I am currently investigating whether there's a misconfigured log in logrotate. -

Created a #Friendica account on Libranet.de ... it very quickly asked to add my contacts from here and is in the midst of attempting to do so. !fnetworks will be adding a Friendica instance once I have some funds for another #VPS. -

@fu All !fnetworks instances are currently #OStatus only.
I plan to upgrade them soon. -

If I may pitch in on on th etopic of "how the fediverse works"...
Yes, you can explain it with the image of email and email providers. But you rely on "freedom" (whose?) to describe a structure that doesn't explain why newbies can and cannot subscribe to other people or otherwise interact with accounts and posts.
A different way is stop putting "freedom" into the centre – which in itself is a rather problematic hierarchical approach as it invokes the imagery of landlords dealing with their rowdy tenants – and explain to people the basics of #federation, from which most of the peculiarities and problems of fediverse interactions arise.
2015 I wrote a piece for Twitter migrants to GNUsocial primarily from the angle of a layperson, explaining the various oddities by pointing to and explaining from federation as the root cause. Perhaps this snippet is of some help:

I am not planning to launch the first open registration public instance until every !fnetworks #GNU_Social instance is running version 2.0+, so #Federati Networks may miss this next wave of #Twitter refugees.
The chaotic situation at home has meant that I’ve delayed the planned upgrades again. -

Someone writes a thread about expected effects in the #Fediverse
I'm hoping to have some time and resources to devote to building out !fnetworks instances before the expected wave of #Twitter refugees. -

Domain name expired. Now renewed. The next !fnetworks related domain is up in December. -

!fnetworks servers have new, up-to-date TLS certificates.
Sorry, when they say "your certificates will expire in 5 days", you really only have that amount of time before they expire. -

I don't know whether I responded. Yes, troubleshooting data would be useful. I'm still in #NYC, but I'm hoping to do some major updates to all !fnetworks sites when I return to #SoCal. -

I have some stuff planned for !fnetworks, but I think I'll wait until I am back in #SoCal to put them into effect. #Hotel_living really does make everything more difficult. -

Doing some maintenance on all !fnetworks and !osp servers. Expect downtime. -

For the record, !fnetworks does not run any #Java software, nor is the JVM installed on any Federati server.
The same applies for !OSP.
I have not yet grepped logs for #log4j exploitation attempts, but other server admins report multiple log entries. -

I have been reducing family Web presence by abandoning domains and shuttering a #VPS here and there. Now I need to reduce my work hours, so I will have some time and energy to devote to both the family’s activities ( including reviving some #fambiz operations) and to building !fnetworks. I have some ideas in both areas, but have been stymied by the feast or famine nature of my employment. -

!fnetworks service announcement
*** Friday, 2021-10-01 ***
Intermittently throughout the day (New York time, EDT), there may be outages on various Federati Networks servers as I install updates and reboot.
Same applies for !OSP's server. -

DNS still seems to be flapping on all servers. Up and down and up and down. It should stabilize soon.

And we're back! Transferred from one domain registrar to another and simultaneously had an Internet outage at home.
This morning, I was notified that the transfer went through ... and that I needed to set up DNS again.
(In previous domain transfers, I've found that DNS info sometimes gets transferred. Those are probably the ones where the DNS points to the hosting company, but I'll look to see whether there is an external DNS hosting service I can use.)
