1 hour and 50 minutes on hold because EverSource does not hire enough people. You are told by their automated system that if you press 1 on your phone’s keypad, they will call you back, but that is a lie because I did that Friday morning and never received a call back.

The other “interesting” thing is that Mstdn.jp no longer displays the administrator account.
I suspect they’re doing something stupid — wanting everyone to reach them via email only.
If so, they’re creating their own future problem. That’s not how the Fediverse works!
This all seems like a case of a corporation getting involved in something without knowing what it’s doing or how anything in the ecosystem works.
-
I think what makes Mastodon Dot Cloud so “interesting” is that it’s one of the few Fedi sites owned by a corporation. That same corporation also owns Mstdn Dot JP.
Mstdn.jp had staff — if you reported a problem, someone handled it. You also needed approval to activate an account after registering.
It’s ironic that the corporation managed Mstdn Dot JP fairly well while completely abandoning Mastodon Dot Cloud.
That said, Mstdn.jp is still running out-of-date software.

I’m surprised they’re finally upgrading the site — slowly over days — but that’s part of the problem. It shows the same pattern: no action or long delays.
8 days, and they’re right back where they started with discontinued software.
Mastodon.Cloud has upgraded to 4.3.22, the last 4.3.x release, which will be end of life in 8 days.
4.3.22 also has documented security bugs, so they’re still running a version that isn’t fully secure.
-
Their lack of communication is one of their biggest problems and why many sites have defederated and disconnected from Mastodon Dot Cloud.
A scammer, troll, or spammer would join your site, people would report the content, and nothing would happen. Worse, it would keep happening. Mastodon Dot Cloud has, for the past year, become known as a revolving door of trash and nonsense, and the whole time there’s been no proof anyone cared.

Mastodon Dot Cloud has upgraded to 4.3.22 which is the last 4.3.x branch and will be end of life in 8 days.
4.3.22 also has a few known documented security bugs. So once again, they're still using a version of Mastodon that is not completely secure.
-
Normally, AWS (Amazon Web Services) is fairly reliable. The issue is not likely their hosting provider, and more likely everything to do with how they've been managing things.
If you follow the hashtag #MastodonCloud you will see a lot of other sites were fed up with how that site was managed. You'll note they had basically abandon that site and the other sites they operated (they owned a few) and were using software from years ago.
-
The same people who ran Mastodon Dot Cloud also ran Mstdn Dot JP.
By comparison, Mastodon Dot Cloud had no active staff and was filled with spam, scams, and bots.
However, ironically, while Mstdn was also using old software, it was still staffed. There were people there trying to keep it going, and you needed staff approval to join.
However, Mstdn Dot JP is now also offline.
I'm kind of sad to see that one offline — I used to have an account.

The website called Website Down Dot com checks locations from around the world and reports Mastodon Dot Com is down everywhere.

@cceddie @housepanther @TheAdmin
Its not a puzzling choice, because realistically, you have no choice — you must upgrade.
The new software has features that will not communicate with older versions. Plus, the old version has known security bugs.
If they’re unwilling or unable to upgrade, Mastodon Dot Cloud is not being properly managed or secured. They will continue to be de-federated.
It really comes down to existing within the Fediverse or not, and hoping you’re not hacked

RE: https://masto.ai/@Linux/116471427484550414
Mastodon Dot Cloud could theoretically upgrade to the latest 4.5.x build or even 4.6 nightly build, today, and no one would trust them to maintain it.
It's too late.
For over a year they left their site abandon. There is scam post, spam post, and bots all over the site because it was left abandon.
-
Someone needs to explain "Internet time" to the people running Mastodon Dot Cloud.
Seconds or less = Now.
1 minute = 1 hour
1 hour = 1 day
1 day = 1 week
1 week = 1 month
1 month = 1 year
1 year or more = Forever.

Mastodon Dot Cloud seems to have either disabled or removed their security certificate. Standard httpS is not working.

13-year-old computer from 2013 running Windows 11.
When the Dell Precision T3610 was sold, it would have originally included a copy of Windows 7 Professional.
Microsoft has partnerships with Dell, HP, Lenovo, and Acer to help generate sales. Most of the time, your hardware is just fine, but being ‘just fine’ does not encourage you to buy a new computer.
Yes, I can play Steam games and work on my 13-year-old PC just fine. 😉

That is possible.
I know you can jump version with Mastodon, but some of the older versions you had to be more caution when doing so. So it is possible.
However, with the newer versions, I recall someone jumping from 4.3.x to 4.5.x. I'm not certain when the code became stable enough to do that.
That said, you do bring up a valid point since they were on 4.1.x
-
@housepanther @cceddie @TheAdmin
4.2.9 is bad because the 4.2.x branch is discontinued and has a security flaw.
The last 4.2.x branch was 4.2.29
https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/releases/tag/v4.2.29
They "upgrade" to a new version by "downgrading" to a new security flaw. But more importantly, they are still using discontinued software because both 4.1.x and 4.2.x are no longer is supported.
-
OMG. 🤣
Mastodon.cloud is back online and now using older software.
Originally, they were running Mastodon 4.1.25 from April 2025 (a year ago), and now they’re on Mastodon 4.2.9 from May 2024 — two years ago.
I mean, sure, they’ve bumped the version number while actually using an older codebase. 🤦

Not my doing, but Mastodon Dot Cloud seems to have finally gone offline.

That’s one of the reasons I’m not an Apple user. In fact, I have a hard time understanding Apple users, because you’re paying for a premium brand name that offers fewer choices, uses older tech (I still laugh that the $1,000 iPhone was using USB-C v2), is designed to slow down with every update to encourage you to buy the latest model, and — when Apple sometimes decides to discontinue your device (for example, those poor people who bought the last Intel model were in for a surprise only a few months after its release) — you’re completely abandoned, with virtually no legacy support, turning it mostly into a paperweight.
In fact, if it weren’t for Fedora Asahi Remix, most Apple computers would be e-waste paperweights. iPhones and iPads, however, do quickly become unsupported paperweights, since you’re quickly locked out of the store and stop receiving updates.
And about the Apple Store… that is it. Your choice is the Apple Store or bust. You cannot side-load apps or install apps from a third-party store or website, and you’re completely a prisoner to Apple’s whims. They even decide which apps can or cannot be installed on Apple devices. You don’t actually own your device.
Apple should not be successful, and yet so many people choose it. And why? Because it’s pretty? lol

I made the mistake of not including a tip when helping my aging mother with her Walmart same-day delivery, and now, of course, the order is now delayed.
As far as I know, Walmart uses Instacart, so naturally, an order without a tip is being avoided as if it were the plague. I dislike our tipping culture because Instacart should pay people enough, as should Walmart, and the driver — who is paying nearly six dollars a gallon for gas — is likely struggling as much as everyone else, myself included, which we should all blame on Donald Trump.
But that struggle is why tipping can hurt some people so much, and not receiving a tip can hurt as well. It is a vicious cycle that we should not be facing, and yet here we are.

Linux Kernel 7.0.x is the final release supporting i486 hardware.
It is planned that i486 support will be removed in 7.1.
The last mainstream development hardware to rely on i486 dates back to the 1990s (around 30 years ago). There were some edge cases in smaller markets that continued using it in manufacturing components into the very early 2000s, but these were not upgradable systems and were never considered mainstream.
If you're truly relying on i486 today, 7.0.x is as far as you go. Game over.

I learned later today, that Donald Trump has also posted this message publicly:" A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again. I don’t want that to happen, but it probably will. However, now that we have Complete and Total Regime Change, where different, smarter, and less radicalized minds prevail, maybe something revolutionarily wonderful can happen, WHO KNOWS? We will find out tonight, one of the most important moments in the long and complex history of the World. 47 years of extortion, corruption, and death, will finally end.

⚠️ 2 days ago, I learned Donald Trump had discussed privately about using a H-Bomb (hydrogen bomb) on Iran. At the time, it was only discussed, but not decided upon.
Today, April 7, 2026, Donald John Trump, President of the United States, has put the option on the table and is considering this option. It is no longer a discussion and is now a possibility. ☢️

NASA keeps claiming the images are less than ideal due to a lack of data. They’re also using a GoPro camera.
1) Having additional data links would have been helpful. Redundancy would be better.
2) You’re NASA — you could have done better than a GoPro.
Food for thought for Artemis III in the future.

Working for Meta means I occasionally read content that government employees share, either among themselves or with their closest family members.
Today, I logged into work and found what may be the most horrifying trend among them.
Donald John Trump, President of the United States, has reportedly discussed using a hydrogen bomb on Iran.
This information makes his words he said today even more chilling. To quote him:" Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran. There will be nothing like it!!! Open the Fuckin’ Strait, you crazy bastards, or you’ll be living in Hell - JUST WATCH! Praise be to Allah. President DONALD J. TRUMP "

AMD lopettaa pelikohtaiset RDNA 1 & 2 -näytönohjainten ajuripäivitykset Windowsille. Linux? Avoimine ajureineen turvassa ✌️
Näiden korttien hintahan tulee myös samalla ropisten alas. Pingviinin kannattaa alkaa sovittelemaan ostohousuja; Linuxissa RDNA1 / RDNA2 käyttäen Mesa, RADV -ajureita on muikea kokemus.
Moinen päätös yleisen tuen päättämisestä näinkin uusille laitteille dunkkaa pahasti, totta maar. Päätös ei siis kuitenkaan kosketa Linuxia ja siinä suosittuja avoimia ajureita -- Windows-käyttäjät taas töräytetään ikään kuin nyssen alle.
