  1. the reason i don't list #FursonaDirectory and #BirdcatCafe on any "publicly available" service lists is that i want these services to be like a nice word of mouth indie thing amongst cool friends and furries, but i also don't want to put a target on my back for being a vector for abuse :(

  5. hey #birdcatcafe fans, updated the main site birdcat.cafe with some more info - removed two services that weren't working anymore (priviblur and redlib 🥀 ) and swapped out convertx with vert and made it public! i'm working with a new system that i implemented for my local homelab that pins docker shas for better reproducibility :3

  15. as a follow up to this, i will be sunsetting #birdcatcafe's matrix server on October 31st, 2024.

    please archive/download anything from the server you'd like to keep until then. apologies for those who depended on this service but like i've mentioned i don't see much use to it since i contact folks through other, easier ways.

    i won't give up on matrix, mind you, but i don't feel comfortable publicly hosting a server for a service i really don't use a lot since i know it will eventually lead to something breaking and me not really being able to fix it efficiently. thanks for understanding.

    i recommend checking out other furry servers on @fl4nn 's useful list of matrix furry stuff:

    matrix.squirrel.rocks/furry_se

    so long, and thanks for all the fish.

  17. in other #birdcatcafe news, I think i might sunset my #matrix server. i personally don't use it and it keeps taking up a lot of storage space and mental bandwidth to keep the homeserver.log file from eating the limited space i have on the host. additionally, i don't really like matrix due to their poor UX and even poorer encryption problems, including not being able to read messages from folks you've messaged previously and potential side-chain attacks.

    what do y'all think?

  19. CW: donation post for services i offer/my birthday

    hey, folks! i genuinely hope you're enjoying #fursonadirectory and #birdcatcafe services like search and others. if you find them useful, that's awesome! if you want to help with this project, a small donation to help cover server costs would be really appreciated. :3

    ko-fi.com/chirpbirb

    tomorrow is also my hatchday, so if you feel inclined to throw me some $ to spend irresponsibly you can do that too!

    this is absolutely a "i don't need money, but it would be nice for my birthday" kinda post, so if you see any folks doing mutual aid posts, donate to them first!

  23. @anthropy i've been using borg for keeping #birdcatcafe backed up here locally, hadn't heard of borgwarehouse though. thanks for the recommend!

  27. how's it hanging, #birdcatcafe fans 🤙

    we just updated search.birdcat.cafe and translate.birdcat.cafe to the latest versions and updated all system packages

    please continue to enjoy the cafe's privacy respecting services at your leisure :blobfoxcofe_w:

  28. apologies for the unexpected downtime on our #birdcatcafe #matrix server, the service got upset that it couldn't access a log file so i just moved it and let it rebuild itself. it should be up again now!

  29. #birdcatcafe and #fursonadirectory should now be on bunny.net dns and porkbun.com registration, been meaning to try out this setup for awhile and it works great!

  30. good news, #birdcatcafe and #fursonadirectory fans!

    i've got borg backup running on here remotely now, so it connects to my home server and is now backed up every day with my other apps here locally. this should make migrating vpses infinitely easier now if i ever need to expand. and now there's not just a local #borg backup throwing stuff into a folder that could die at any moment!

    little by little, bit by bit. thanks for sticking with my little experiment :3

  31. grabbing the latest updates for #birdcatcafe #fursonadirectory again, there was a bugfix for the latest update (didn't affect users, just admins lol)

  32. shout out to the one person who saved #birdcatcafe on the internet archive through the "save now" feature

  33. birdcat.cafe has more services now! and i'm adding more as i type! #birdcatcafe

    translate.birdcat.cafe - translation frontend!
    reddit.birdcat.cafe - #reddit frontend!
    pad.birdcat.cafe - #cryptpad!
    rss.birdcat.cafe - #rss reader! (dm me for access)
    speed.birdcat.cafe - open source speedtest!

    ...and more! but i'm slowly creeping up to the limit of stuff i can run on this little 4gb vps lmao

  36. CW: birdcat cafe disclaimer

    hey, friendly reminder for those using #birdcatcafe services; please don't do anything illegal on them because

    a) i am on a shared cpu vps with no encryption so my provider can snoop the memory at any time
    b) i *will* comply with law enforcement when asked because i have a bird and a fox to feed (me and my wife) and my safety goes over whatever you were tryna do lol
    c) you shouldn't be using my services for those kind of endeavors

    i would love to offer a *fully secure* service eventually, but i do not have that now. so don't... do stupid things on the internet on what i offer for now please

  37. on huh i can automate this backup job on #birdcatcafe through cron probably

  38. btw i've been daily driving search.birdcat.cafe and the performance has been fucking phenomenal. please try out #searxng, it's really good and gives you search results from #google, #duckduckgo, #bing, #wikipedia, and more. you can also disable the ones you don't want to use! it's pretty sick 😎

  39. formally introducing: chat.birdcat.cafe / matrix.birdcat.cafe!

    this is another #matrix space! after accidentally installing the wrong backend software we’re stable and running now. i promise.

    i recommend checking out our channels and taking a look at servers from `bark.lgbt`, `furs.chat`, and others! you can add other matrix server channels by simply looking for spaces within that instance or the official matrix one!

    chat.birdcat.cafe is an element client that will automatically connect to matrix.birdcat.cafe. you can access the matrix server using any client that is matrix compatible. registrations are open! :3

  40. formally introducing: fursona.directory!

    this is a #furry flavored instance of #linkstack that acts as a linktree for your various furry linking needs. this instance isn't trans specific, but is absolutely trans-friendly. :3

    i'm manually approving requests to join. feel free to nudge me on here if i haven't gotten to you yet! hit me up here if there's any issues you run into. you can be nsfw on here, but please nothing illegal. i have a me to feed.
