Howdy Neighbours, I'm planning on growing the aus.social services...

"Aus.Social — Welcome to Thundertoot"

I've fixed the Linode DNS issue by using another DNS provider... take that Linode

I've also upgraded aus.social to the recently (5 hours ago) updated version of Mastodon... So we're now on v3.5.3 that includes a bunch of security and performance fixes!

Have a nice day, everything else should be back to normal

Something is broken on the internet.

The Linode DNS seems to be having problems, which might cause a problem uploading images!.... I've started to investigate if there is something I can do.

NOTICE:

I'm doing some maintenance on the server tonight... later tonight (around midnight), you might notice media is broken, but that should fix itself sooner than later a few hours later

Upgraded aus.social to the latest release.

The biggest change is renaming the "direct messages" to "mentioned people only"... because REAL direct messages will be added back in the future.

Mo memory. Mo problems.

I'm going to reboot the server now. Adding additional memory and CPU.

BRB in 10 minutes

Good afternoon, Please remember to add Content Warnings early, Content Warnings often.

#AusPol posting without a CW, you better be sure that's a paddling.

It's not a crime to be horny on main, but the local timeline is not a place for exhibitionism! Please mark your content as sensitive, with a content warning!

or you'll get moderated away.

Restarted aus.social. Sorry for the outage.

@bunnegirl added a bunch of Bunne's.

I'm upgrading the server tonight. I've had a few hours of downtime in the last 3 and a bit years. So hopefully I only add a few additional minutes to my total tonight.

@frogworth something broke.

Hello everybody, normally I would boost the #Introduction and #Introductions posts, but because we're got a hundred of them today, I'll ask you to keep an eye on those hashtags.

It's a fun ride.

@PC_FiveDockPS Hello. Sorry for the ban. I get a lot of spam, so you got caught in the net.

I've marked you as a real person :)
