If y'all have had issues uploading images... sorry about that.

I missed a setting when re-configuring the server after transfer to it's current environment and it's fixed now.

Longer Explanation: there are two servers involved, a reverse proxy and then the actual Friendica server. The Friendica server accepted uploads up to 100MB... the proxy didn't have that setting... so it would just go for a bit, then timeout. Added that setting to the proxy and all solved.

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.

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.
