We still have significant debt from our life emergency last year, and have groceries/etc to pay for, so it's greatly appreciated people are still donating despite the major reduction in expenses thanks to Fastly.

#jortage — downtime was caused by some form of memory leak, and lasted longer than it should have due to sleeping and a proxmox issue related to the cluster filesystem getting stuck preventing me from rebooting the container

I still have significant debt from my life emergency last year and have groceries and stuff to pay for, but it's good to have Jortage more than fully paid-for again.

#Jortage — we now have scraper detection and blocking. If you get a noisy blue image with barely-legible red text on it and are not an AI scraper, please let me know and include details about your request (browser version / etc)

Backblaze expenses will be going down significantly next month, after migration to Fastly Object Storage. The Jortage AU project was decommissioned, which has minorly reduced some bills.
In the mean time, all out-of-pocket expenses eat into my grocery/living budget and make me accrue yet more credit debt. Please contribute to keep Jortage afloat and my wife and I fed.

#jortage — The hypervisor suddenly rebooted for no obvious reason at 7:55 EDT. The disk is encrypted, so reboots require manual intervention. I was asleep, as usual. No information in any logs.
-
#jortage — Jortage AU (another instance of the storage pool running entirely within Australia) has been decommissioned due to losing its initial sponsor and a lack of interest from others.
-
#Jortage — The new geo-specific
us.pool-api.jortage.comdomain has been broken, always resulting in signature failure 403s due to a configuration error. I've fixed this now, and the pool-api and us.pool-api subdomains both work as expected. -
#jortage — I have begun the process of deleting the Backblaze bucket. (Doing it slightly early as every day I don't delete the bucket costs me $20)
-
#Jortage — all data has been successfully transferred from Backblaze B2 to Fastly Object Storage. I've shut off the fallback system, we are now solely serving from Fastly.
I will delete the Backblaze bucket in a week or so when I am confident everything's working good, which will reduce our expenses by $500/mo thanks to Fastly continuing to provide free service to Jortage via Fast Forward.
-
#Jortage — SVG files were being served with a bogus Content-Type due to a Fastly Object Storage limitation, which caused Firefox to refuse to display them. This was breaking some instance mascots and is now fixed.

CW: long, Jortage expense report (June 2025)
Fastly (CDN): $0.00 (±$0.00)
OVH (hosting): $120.86 (±$0.00)
Backblaze (US storage/backups): $482.40 (+$47.54)
Wasabi (AU storage): $6.99 (-$0.23)Subtotal: $610.25 (+$47.31)
Contributions: $542.97 (−$19.97)Total (out of pocket): $67.28 (+$15.68)
Migration to Fastly Object Storage is ongoing. Transferring 50TiB of data takes a really long time, and Fastly didn't get me the new contract until near the end of the month. I'm buying a new cheap VPS specifically to do the transfer on a dedicated pipe, it's been sharing with the US ingest server.
Please pitch in to keep Jortage afloat (and my wife and I fed)!!

#jortage local idiot forgot to test multipart upload
it's fixed now. sorry to all the instances that had stuck media upload tasks
-
#jortage — new uploads are now going to Fastly Object Storage. Migration of old files from B2 to Fastly is ongoing, so older files will be a little bit slower to load when not cached yet.

Backblaze will be going away this month in favor of Fastly Object Storage, once I get the new contract from them.
Please pitch in to keep Jortage afloat!

reminder: the #Jortage Rivet protocol is real and implemented in poolmgr right now, there's just nothing that speaks it

16¢ off from needing to pay extra out of pocket this month.

#Jortage — some images have been failing to load in certain contexts in Mastodon as of ~30 minutes ago, but would show up if opened in a new tab.
This is due to Backblaze B2 deploying some new harebrained nonsense that attempts to honor
Sec-Fetch-Mode: no-corsby returning bogus JSON payloads instead of the original file, when they falsely believe CORS is being violated. I've configured Fastly to hide this header from Backblaze to fix the issue. -
#jortage — Due to a bug in our dependencies that was causing large files served directly by the poolmgr to time out (i.e. mastodon account exports), I have updated all of poolmgr's dependencies. This shouldn't have any behavior impacts, but may make the service faster. If stuff does break, please let me know.

#Jortage — All services will be going down shortly for a brief period. Just routine hypervisor updates, including a Linux kernel security update.
