Re: transliteration of #Danish in #Turkish, from an earlier thread on another #mastoInstance
Fremmearbejderbladet from the 1970's is one of the first works to regularly transliterate Danish proper nouns to Turkish.
I will try checking out some of the older collections at the library, it's such a shame these collections have not been digitized yet.

Some good #Fediverse #MastoPromo in this, my favourite part is about #DeFederation. I think it is an essential bulwark against the #Enshitification of this great social media platform. Migrating to a #MastoInstance from the #Zuker and #Elon platforms was the best thing I ever did.
“Then there’s Mastodon’s nuclear weapon: Defederation. Suppose you’re prone to nasty bigotry in public and you get reported a lot and your server’s moderators don’t rein you in. Eventually, word will get around, and if things aren’t cleaned up, most servers will defederate yours, so that nobody on their server can see posts from anyone on yours. Your site is no longer part of the “Fediverse”; this is a powerful incentive for server owners to take moderation seriously.
The effect is that the haters and scammers and Nazis who show up mostly get shuffled off-stage PDQ. Not always, unfortunately; a couple of years ago a wave of incoming Black people had bad experiences with racist abuse. Ouch. Is there anywhere in the world that a loud-voiced Black woman won’t provoke a chud eruption? [sigh]
But the good news is that recent Mastodon releases have been shutting prone-to-abuse channels down, so things are better than then and should continue to improve.” -

I kinda wished that I now went with Solent.Social instead of Southampton.Social
A lot shorted, as well as expanding to the ranges of places like Portsmouth and the Isle of Wight (both places I have stated we accept users from)

Just got our #MastoInstance switched over to #Cloudflare fronting of our existing #BackBlaze #B2 #S3 bucket. Free egress for all media when you run B2 -> Cloudflare. Pretty slick. Best instructions I found so far: https://techbits.io/free-s3-egress-backblaze-b2-cloudflare/
Just a VERY important tidbit (somewhat alluded to in the comments) We had S3 working without the S3_ALIAS_HOST variable. But without it, #Mastodon kept including the bucket name in the path. Set it to your subdomain.domain.com/bucket_name and it works!

I need help with my #mastodon instance.
I think i may have messed up my cache at some point, because all of the profile headers are missing, and they don't get fetched.
I tried to "remove" them with
to see if that would re-fetch them, with no luck.
RAILS_ENV=production /home/mastodon/live/bin/tootctl media remove --remove-headers --include-follows --days 0;If anyone has any idea what it could be, that would be great.
P.S.: local headers load just fine, ofc

How have I not done this earlier? Free egress for my #MastoInstance S3 storage on #BackBlaze #B2

#BackInTheDay: #LotRO was once a #FunGame to #Play; #TheShapeOfTheSword (https://psiren.shivtr.com/ - #MyKin / #MastoInstance ≍ #Equivalence) created a #SpinOff #LotR / #JamesBond #CrossOver / #MashUp with a #SecretScore #Performed by #LesProPouletHedz
They were all #RobotChickens
#IT's a #TrueFact; but also, an #EntirelyIrrelevantFact / #FunFact; because, #LotRO is a #DeadGame, which is why #NoOneCares...

@chrisamaphone well the one's I'd use to let people know about this are:
#MastodonAdmin
#MastoAdmin
#MastodonServer
#MastodonInstance
#FediAdmin
#FediServer
#FediInstance
#MastoServer
#MastoInstanceI'm assuming that you mean MicroBlogFedi and not solely admins for the Mastodon software, in which case its good to use the right terms to avoid irritating those admins. Could be wrong!

Anywho I'm still just getting my new instance https://gardenstate.social of the ground, but if you love NJ I'd be happy to host you.

#TIL I realized when the column icon in #Mastodon v4 web turns purple, that means there are additional posts above wherever you happen to be in scrolling. Useful for hashtag columns... #MastoAdmins #MastoInstance #FediTips #MastoTips

Yes, I'm a total nerd. My instance is just me right now until we figure out how to get folks to sign up 😭 So it's been interesting watching the #Sidekiq activity of this #MastoInstance in a floating window as we interact with it. #MastoAdmin #Mastodon #SysAdmin #InfoTech

@no_n1e I would expect so. But I've wondered what throwing Sidekiq to a self hosted server would do 🤔 I've got server capacity to spare right next to my desk #MastoInstance #MastoAdmin

@simocosimo Try the mobile web view for v4. You get prompted to add it to the home screen and it acts like an app. I haven't used the app since we updated our #MastoInstance

Whoa. I've been using the #Mastodon v4 web interface on mobile since I upgraded our #MastoInstance ... I never rotated my phone sideways. You get your columns 🤯

So ? for #SysAdmins of a smaller #MastoInstance How are you getting visibility to help shoulder part of the influx? With joinmastodon gatekeeping the bulk of it towards a few dozen larger instances, what have you done to get seen? I know 'new' instances are a risk and some may want to be hidden in the trees. But how are you building a user base to reach a critical mass where the growth becomes organic? I know instances.social is there. But what other methods are you all using? #Mastodon

As a #MastoAdmin of a smaller instance, its been interesting to watch the federated feed. You can tell when influxes hit the big instances. The local feed gets much... Sparser. The timestamps on the toots end up all over the place. #MastoInstance #Mastodon

@atomicpoet So many instances practically invisible while the top tier are getting crushed. Sure, a newer #MastoInstance is a risk. But why not direct join traffic to a database where instances can agree to meet certain criteria and describe their infrastructure and get listed/promoted to better spread the load in the #Fediverse Even if you have to note the risks of younger instances.

Been reading #Introductions, guess it's time to do my #Introduction. #itsupport for MANY years. From Sr Tech to IT Dir @ big US university (great BBall team) Seen the good & bad of corporate AND academic #IT. Along the way, had 4 kids who fell in love with #soccer. Helped form/run the local league and have coached for 20 yrs. Burnt out @ work - decided to do my own thing. Been wild seeing the role of a #MSP change. #LoveMyJob Started msps.io #MastoInstance for #SysAdmins & #MSPs. Having a blast.

@gossithedog @mitka One issue I've found is it seems hard for people to find new instances to spread the load. Sure there are 1500+ instances but the only ones shouldering the influx are the 65ish on joinmastodon Totally understand the desire to only highlight established instances and not have newbies stranded, but maybe find a way for new instances to certify some level of scale/confidence and get some exposure to help handle the influx. #MastoInstance #MastoAdmin

If you really want to watch those queues... Nothing beats a floating window 😎 #MastoAdmin #MastoInstance #SysAdmin

Just split up our https://msps.io #MastoInstance Sidekiq queues into separate processes to better handle any load. Tweaked some PostgreSQL settings to better match it. Seems to have worked alright and the memory hit was minimal. Went with a set of 5 scheduler/mailer, ingress (gotta read up on that new one), then default-pull-push, pull-default-push, push-pull-default. #SysAdmins #MastoAdmin

@ProgGrrl This is a fantastic write-up! Thanks for sharing! #MastoAdmin #MastoInstance
-
Minor thing (that may be obvious to everyone else but me 😜), if you upgrade ruby while upgrading your #MastoInstance - you want to restart mastodon-web, not reload.
-
Just bumped our https://msps.io #MastoInstance up to v4.0.2 That was painless! 👍

So... who's running EDR on their #MastoInstance? You know you wanna...
