@nicdex
Thank you for everything you do! -

@techhub[email protected], @[email protected]
While addressing your extremely serious and unfounded accusations against our users regarding the posting of CSAM/CP, I must strongly advise you to reconsider your perceptions, as this is neither #CSAM nor #CP.
Individuals who engage in such foolishness risk being #suspended from the #fediverse, resulting in your server being reduced to an echo chamber where users can only converse amongst themselves.
I urge you to cease this nonsense in the future and consider this as the first of three warnings regarding the posting of false accusations against my #fediverse installation and innocent users.

New #CryptoBot spammers going around, this time they're using @techhub.social
Best wishes to @nicdex to fight them off. -
As the admin of the Techhub.social #Mastodon instance recently posted about the "new" rules (https://techhub.social/@nicdex/109610267931996202) for product mentioning & promotion and I am not sure how we with @sceneworld would fit in, I decided to do the same as @vorleser and get our own instance for #sceneworld :)
As I just received an email from @mastohost that limited capacity for new servers are available, thought it couldn't hurt ^^
I followed the migration manual (https://codingitwrong.com/2022/10/10/migrating-a-mastodon-account.html) of @CodingItWrong !

For #BlackHistoryMonth, #TechHub has changed our Info-Page Banner to include #ElijahMcCoy.
This isn't an amazing image, just something I threw together for @nicdex to put up, because I felt that putting up Elijah #McCoy's picture reflects who we are, what we stand for, and our thoughts on the world today.
Elijah McCoy's parents escaped from #enslavement in the #US in the early-1800s, gaining asylum in #Canada, and he was born in #Ontario in 1843. Being what we would now consider a "gifted" child, his parents saved money to send him to Scotland to study #engineering when he was 15.
He returned to the US after the Civil War, but could not find work as an engineer due to #racism and #segregation practices: anti-#discrimination programs like #DEI and the #EEOC, had not been established, so opportunities for even the most qualified #black men were scarce, passed up for even less qualified #white men.

I meant to mark this with fanfare, but I apparently missed the date.
One year ago, September 23, 2023, I got on a Discord Call with @nicdex to work out me coming on TechHub #staff as a #Moderator. There was another influx incoming, and I wanted to help Fedi in any way I could, so I #volunteered, and TechHub needed another experienced moderator.
Since then, I've learned a lot and done a lot, including helping resolve 1397 reports, 228 of which came from me, and expanded the role in a lot of ways I felt were important, including publishing a curated blocklist, found at...
https://techhub.social/@Raccoon/112906921685785476As we move forward, I have more plans in mind for how to improve and expand the Fediverse, both in moderation and general experience. We'll see what gets done!
For now, thanks to all of you for being the #Fediverse, thanks to #Mastodon and all the other softwares, and thanks to the #ActivityPub team for laying the groundwork.
Let's keep building #Fedi!

So i spent a few hours guaranteeing 20 instances, and adding about 25 or 30 endorsements/censors/hesitations.
I love the idea and I think it has a LOT of potential.
Regardless I want to list it all here so the effected instances can be aware and if they wish respond/react. You can read my reason for endorsement of any of the below servers in the links provided.
I suppose this can also double as my #FollowFriday #FF !
Also please consider if you are an admin signing up and endorsing these and other instances as well.

Here's a poll of the upmost importance.
Should I keep insecuremen(dot)club pointed to whitehouse(dot)gov or change it to ice(dot)gov? 🤔
UPDATE: please boost for reach

This one is spot on, if only it could be reality. Another great song and video by Coheed and Cambria. My favorite band by far.

I just updated TechHub to v4.4.7 https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/releases/tag/v4.4.7 #TechHub #mastodon

My 8 years old #dell laptop died this week. Not bad of a lifetime, already bought a new one. I went with Dell again, #Ubuntu OS, the only downside is the delivery time, I won't get it until Sept. 16.
I bought a #usb32 #nvme thingy to copy the data from the old drive, I'm surprise how well it works, i get 300MB/a out of it.
Also I was able to make it work under #wsl on #Windows, but the performance was awful 3MB/s. -
Verification scammer is back at it again, so far he's using the same script so it's easy to catch. Still be careful, Mastodon or TechHub will never ask you for credentials or for your bank/credit card (except on our official donation page). Usage is free, verification is not for sale.
Stay safe, and have a nice day :)

CW: Trump devil
You know what I like the most about the south park episode about Trump... it's how Trump will be remembered, nothing he can't do about it*.
* Well he could have it take down, so I'm not advocating piracy, but I think in this case it's worth torrenting this one for posterity.

Good thing I took a random look at the #TechHub servers today. For some reason, the database replica was not working anymore. I'm rebuilding it as I write this.
FYI we rely on daily backups + hot replica in case of failure of the main server, so this would have been problematic if something happened.
All good folks, keep on tooting :) -
We finally have our new bank account :D.
I am slowly moving our donations to the new bank account and once everything is ready I will be re-opening the donations page again.
I'll post an update once it's ready.

I'm taking a break from social media and news for a few days. This #tariffs situation is really making me mad. Personally I won't be much affected, but a lot of hard working #canadians and #americans will be. I still can't believe he went forward with it.
I will keep working on getting the bank account and donations platforms back online for #TechHub, other than that I need a break.
See you later Fediverse. -
On the same note. Once I get the account approved I'm setting up:
- Patreon
- Paypal
- StripeRespond to this or DM me if you'd like another alternative.

Update on TechHub donations... We are still waiting on the bank account to get everything setup again.
I'm not sure what is taking #BMO so long to approve our new bank account. I went in person, signed everything, had all documents and my identifications.
You can open bank account online almost instantly now a days... 🤷

@Raccoon Already a year, time goes by so fast.
Thanks for the great #volunteered work you do as our lead moderator. -
New song by a great Australian musician I subscribe to on Patreon. Fleeting Moments by I Built the Sky and Syncatto. https://youtu.be/IWrx4BVixXs #music #instrumental #ibuiltthesky #ibts

Looks like the s3 bucket switch/transfer went smooth. Some files are still transferring, but all should be done by the end of the maintenance window.

Sorry guys, because of a mis-configuration 🤦 all uploaded files bigger than 5MB uploaded prior to today where nuked at midnight (Eastern Time) each day.
Now that explains the issues reported with videos, where uploading worked but after a while they randomly failed (due to caching).
The issue is fixed so we shouldn't lose any more uploaded files. 👏
Sorry for the inconvenience 😬
tldr; past uploads bigger > 5MB = gone, new upload = fine
