Heads up #Sharkey #admins when #upgrading...
If you have a lot of
#data in your #instance #database, running pnpm run migrate might fail because one or more of the ALTER TABLE... statements might actually timeout on your #PostgreSQL server!

To fix this, attach yourself to your
sharkey database and enter the following...

ALTER DATABASE sharkey SET statement_timeout = '10min'; 
ALTER ROLE sharkey SET statement_timeout = '10min';
...and try the pnpm run migrate command again.

Hi everyone at BSD Cafe,
I’d like to start by thanking everyone for being part of this community - your presence and support truly mean a lot!
This message will appear across all my BSD Cafe social accounts, as I’d like to make sure it reaches everyone. Apologies for the duplication, but I genuinely believe it’s important.

Lately, there have been some discussions and questions surrounding content moderation on our instance, and I wanted to take a moment to offer some clarity and reaffirm the spirit of our community.

As you know, BSD Cafe was founded as a space primarily focused on technology, with a special place for *BSD and open source. More importantly, though, I want it to be a positive, welcoming, and constructive place for everyone. Our community guidelines, especially principles like "Promote Positivity" and "Be Kind," are central to this vision.
I've seen questions arise, sometimes involving accusations of political censorship from different perspectives, regarding why certain posts might be moderated. I want to be very clear on this: My moderation approach focuses primarily on the tone and manner of communication, not the specific topic itself.
I don't intervene simply because a post discusses politics, a particular tech company, or any potentially divisive subject. I do step in when a post, regardless of the topic or the viewpoint being expressed, adopts a tone that is:
* Provocative or intentionally confrontational.
* Aggressive or disrespectful towards other users or groups.
* Overly negative without constructive intent.
* Contrary to our core principles of kindness and mutual respect.
This standard applies equally to everyone and every "side." If someone were to post something like "Users of X software are idiots," I would address that just as readily as any other topic presented in a hostile way, even if I personally dislike software X.
The goal isn't to "censor" opinions, but to preserve an environment where discussions, even critical ones, can happen civilly and respectfully, without descending into flame wars or personal attacks. We aim to be a space that is pro-constructive dialogue and pro-positivity, not anti-anyone.
BSD Cafe is our shared digital home. Let's continue working together to keep it a pleasant and rewarding place where we can share ideas, learn, and connect over our shared passions (tech and beyond!), feeling comfortable and respected.

Thank you sincerely for your understanding and for everything you contribute to making BSD Cafe a special community!
Let's keep building this positive space together.

mastodon.radio is now running v4.3.2 of the mastodon server software.

PLEASE do a full refresh if you're using the website/progressive app.

Things might be a little slow for an hour or so as the search account database is re-indexed.

Let @M0YNG know of any issues (I'm just a bot/ghost account for them anyway.)

For a list of changes see:
github.com/mastodon/mastodon/r

plus github.com/mastodon/mastodon/r and github.com/mastodon/mastodon/r

Media Usage:
Currently 21.6GB is used for media, about 100MB are actual media FoxesInLove posted. Everything else is from it's followers. Your instance will cache the profile and header of each follower.

Database:
134MB for PostgreSQL 13MB for Redis

So you have to consider the follower count as well as the following and the activity of the users.

Dunno if someone is interested in it but if you're thinking about your own instance for you and your friends or for your bot, here are some infos:

FoxesInLove is on this instance, the account has around 10k followers. The other accounts on this instance have no significant counts.

Currently this instance has 4 Sidekiq Processes and 4 for Webstuff. (dunno how much CPU power)
If the bot posts something the instance is half dead for a few minutes.

If you've been wondering why there don't seem to be any recent posts from other instances (on mastodon.radio) hopefully that's fixed now.

Seems like some of the sidekiq processes hadn't restarted, and I hadn't noticed, and the queue had gradually built up and had got to 48 hours behind real time, which was enough to be obvious.

It's taken all day (I've been monitoring it) but we're now back under control.
This would also explain if you had a sudden chunk of notifications.

I've got a storage space upgrade pending on the mastodon.radio vps.

At some point today I'll need to reboot to apply this.
Hopefully the downtime will be less than the sporadic database lockups keep causing.

We have sufficient funds.

Apologies once again for the turbulence.
