* '''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.

** '''13:23 ET''' A long-overdue server reboot resulted in all message windows being depopulated. I retreated to the [[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 [[2018/05/20]] 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].
