Server Migration Complete


Thank you for your patience!

The server has been migrated to a new dedicated remote server (hosted with OVH) and to the newest version of Friendica (2024.03, previously it was 2023.12).

Things should stabilize mostly for the time being, but I will be on the lookout for bugs.



Server Migration Update


The downtime for server transfer is coming up sooner now, I've had to twist a few things to make it work and my apologies for any inconvenience.

I deleted a large chunk of the media on the server, primarily focusing on data that hasn't been accessed in 60 days, but it does look like it hit a few more recent pieces.

If you've been with us for a few months you might have lost some old photo uploads, some old contacts might have blurry profile photos for a while until the system decides to redownload them later.

To be clear, this *only* impacted images and we don't offer any guarantees against data loss on this server, especially with uploaded images. There's simply too much data there for me to reasonably back up at this time, and worse yet there really isn't any distinction in Friendica that allows me to backup only local media as opposed to cached remote media.



Upcoming Short Downtime


I'm going through some financial crisis right now and forced to couch surf for the next few months, so I'm not going to have a place or the server ***BUT*** it won't be offline more than a few hours.

There's going to be a short downtime sometime in the next few days. Things are a mess so I don't have an exact set time.

But I've temporarily rented a dedicated server from OVH for my needs and will be migrating the server there so that it can stay online while I work on getting a new place.

Additionally, when the time comes I will also be applying the new Friendica 2024.03 update.

@Server News To be clear: housing problems are less with income and all about events involving roommates. I over extended supporting others for too long, so I just need a little savings to get things resolved.
