@sneak there's no btc address or anything like that, but also no serious need to support the instance, we're doing fine

@esmail not really sure what you're asking but i think the answer is no

@confusedbunny @stux @dashie yeah seeing a lot of bad stuff here

so, we're back! i'm very sorry for the extended downtime. i tried to avoid it, but at a certain point it was inevitable. moving forward i'm going work on doing more testing and preparation for migrations to at least have a better idea when something like this is going to happen.

Why is there a cohort chart for user retention. Why.

(John Williams music swells) Welcome..... to botsin space

@obdormio @agafnd ok, i'm going to take the instance down again and try to solve this

@samplereality I think that's right? If that's not working for you I can dig around tomorrow

now, time to check 50 million statuses for duplicates

Hi friends, I was able to mostly successfully update the botsin.space database server, but when I updated mastodon there were a bunch of errors. So, we're still on an older version of mastodon, but I hope to resolve that in the next day or two.

Also, I think it's possible some accounts are going to need to reset their password and/or access tokens. I'm not sure why this happened! I'm still trying to figure that out too.

Hi friends, the server will go down for maintenance sometime around 9am on Wednesday. I expect to be down for a few hours.

phew, i think i figured out how to successfully upgrade the db server, so will probably update botsin.space next week sometime, details to follow

@loveisgrief i guess it depends? i'd really like to keep them to a minimum, but if you have a source that doesn't post frequently, and the statuses are set to unlisted, that's probably fine

well, a bunch of updates failed, so i will do some testing on that and see about scheduling this again soon

hi friends, i'm planning on running a bunch of server updates this Monday. that will include updating to the newest version of mastodon, as well as some other server and database updates. there will likely be a few hours of downtime

@bortzmeyer @koantig@mamot.fr @admin@mamot.fr @muffinista@cybre.space @Shaft@mamot.fr not going back on it, sorry
