| * '''[[2020-03-31]]''' site going down for an upgrade
| |
| * '''2018-10-11''' <s>We now have a Hubzilla instance online at {{ls/domain|hub.toot.cat}}! It federates with Mastodon and Diaspora.</s> Borked by an upgrade; haven't had time to fix.
| |
| * '''2018-08-15''' We've upgraded from Ubuntu 16.04 to 18.04, compiled Ruby with jemalloc for improved performance, and also upgraded to the latest Mastodon. | |
| ** Apparently its the Gems that take most of the time.
| |
| ** Also, {{l/mastodon|kity|toot.cat}} did all the work and has rejoined the TootCat team after a prolonged absence.
| |
| * '''2018-07-25''' We've had more waves of spambot registrations -- yesterday morning and this morning. SOP seems to be handling the problem. It would be nice if we could set a toggle to auto-silence new users during these attacks, because doing it by hand is time-consuming and also allows them a window of attack (which, fortunately, they aren't good at exploiting) between when they register and when I notice it.
| |
| * '''2018-06-02''' The last new spambot account was recorded at 1:20pm (probably EDST) on this day. They stopped quite abruptly.
| |
| * '''2018-05-30''' The SSL certificate failed to renew on the new server. [https://htyp.org/User:Woozle/toot.cat/2018/05/30 Four hours later], I fixed it. | |
| * '''2018-05-22''' spambots began creating accounts on toot.cat; we soon implemented a policy of immediately suspending any of these that tooted spam links, and silencing the rest. | |
| ** There were a few dozen accounts created as of evening the next day.
| |
| * '''2018-05-20'''
| |
| ** '''13:23 ET''' A long-overdue server reboot resulted in all message windows being depopulated. I retreated to the {{l/pub|TootCave}} to focus on the problem.
| |
| ** '''13:39 ET''' It turned out to be a misconfiguration in Nginx, and I don't know why it was even working before. See [[htyp:User:Woozle/toot.cat/2018/05/20|HTYP]] for details.
| |
| * '''2018-05-03''' Email issues fixed. There nonetheless seems to be a [https://github.com/tootsuite/mastodon/issues/7323 deficit in Mastodon diagnostics].
| |
| * '''2018-05-01''' [https://rm.vbz.net/issues/97 Ongoing email issues] are making me tear my hair out. (How appropriate for May Day!)
| |
| * '''2018-04-26'''
| |
| ** Toot.Cat is [https://toot.cat/@news/99926209120865436 successfully migrated] to a new server and the latest version of Mastodon.
| |
| ** [https://toot.cat/@news/99926216010193182 LottieVixen joins TootCat] as sysadmin
| |
| * '''2018-04-16''': working on upgrade and migration
| |
| * '''2018-01-25''': Mastodon software is up-to-date with no major issues.

| |
| * '''2018-06-02'''
| |
| ** Apparently {{l/pub|mastodon.cloud}} has been down for over a week, a new toot.cat user [https://toot.cat/@RefurioAnachro/100134355499771070 reports]. So has {{l/pub|instance.business}}. I've [https://toot.cat/@woozle/100135333273070380 inquired].
| |
| ** A lot of anger and resentment has brewed between Gargron and marginalized users over issues with {{l/pub|Mastodon}} design and governance.
| |
| * '''2018-04-30'''
| |
| ** Sina of cutie.space [https://cutie.space/@sina/99947742204242184 announced] ([https://toot.cat/web/statuses/99947747955744248 cache]) that she will no longer be serving Mastodon from that domain, effective within a matter of hours, due to a decline in users, and will be [https://cutie.space/@sina/99947969008936246 replacing it] ([https://toot.cat/web/statuses/99947972279440819 cache)] with something less resource-intensive.
| |
| ** {{l/pub|witches.town}} goes offline
| |
| ** Woozle [https://toot.cat/@woozle/99948990608920382 posts a reassurance] that toot.cat will not be going away anytime soon.
| |
| * '''2018-04-27''' Ginny McQueen of {{l/pub|kitty.town}} posted [https://medium.com/@GinnyMcQueen/im-going-to-die-and-it-s-your-fault-5723a63dcefd on Medium] asking for help; Woozle posted about it [https://plus.google.com/+WoozleHypertwin/posts/CzRZzofX2Y1 on Google+].
| |
| * '''2018-04-02''' The sysop of {{l/pub|witches.town}} announced that the site will be shutting down on April 30.
