I'm always a bit worried about these bigger updates when it's affecting a larger number of people. Especially when the upgrade has a lot of database migrations. But then with thorough enough testing on local, carefully polished step-by-step upgrade workflow, successful proofing and doubling down things, repeating everything successfully on production as well: I conclude: I know my shit. #MastoAdmin #MementoMoriSocial

I've configured my Matrix server ALL SUNDAY. I'm in too deep... there is no escape...
I blame you @npub17kfh...hsl3!
Just joking. This is fun.
*screaming internally*
Wow, Matrix is not the most straightforward to install when compared to Mastodon. Tutorials and docs are all over the place. I have now manager to install and run Matrix, Matrix synapse admin and Element, but still need to figure out how to enable Federation and S3. Well, gotta have hobbies... #Matrix #SysOps #SysAdmin #Servers
Miettinyt tässä, että mitä voidaan oppia case #MastodoFi:stä. Ainakin, että yhden henkilön varassa instanssissa on aina sellainen tietty epävarmuus. Vaikka itse olen todella intohimoisesti mukana ja homma jatkuu niin pitkään kuin minussa henki pihisee (ja todennäköisesti sen jälkeenkin, koska olen tehnyt valmisteluja), olisi mukavaa, että olisi joku toinenkin joka pystyisi tarvittaessa ottamaan ohjat, jos olen estynyt.
Tästä heräsi ajatus. Meitä suomalaisia admineita on jonkin verran, siis sellaisia jotka pyörittää instanssiaan yksin. Mitä jos perustettaisiin jokin suomi-MastoAdmin-kollektiivi, jossa auteltaisiin toisiamme? Miitattaisiin vaikka IRL tai videoitse. Näin tulisi sellaista lisäturvaa hommaan.
Mitä ajatuksia herättää?
