Multiple people donated towards the server costs (y'all are great <3) but the lack of a central place to donate was a problem, so I decided to create a Patreon.

Every contribution helps!

The good thing about Trump supporters replying to my toots is I can defederated their entire instance with a click. Bye bye.

GOODBYE YOU PISSANT LITTLE SHIT

@Gargron Is it possible as an admin to disable email notifications globally?

I have a 100/day limit with SendGrid and one user getting a lot of interactions can wipe that out, making it impossible for users to reset their passwords, etc.

Thanks.

It appears Mastodon.lol has outgrown its (free) mail quota of 100/day. Hmm. Cheapest plan is $15/month, which is obviously stupid.

Wonder is there's a better (free) alternative to SendGrid?

A few people were having issues confirming their email. This was because SpamHaus listed a SendGrid IP range as spam...

Sigh. Not much I can do personally, but I'm happy to confirm accounts manually until it gets resolved.

gonna get really fucking drunk tomorrow

@shonalika Just wanted to let you know your video on Mastodon has helped a lot of people, I've noticed many on my instance have said it was you that introduced them

mastodon.lol has now been sold to facebook login to your oculus rift with mastodon

Fun fact: Mastodon.lol is housed in a datacenter which was originally designed as a wine cellar.

In case you're wondering what this all looks like...

@daily cd /home/mastodon/live && RAILS_ENV=production /home/mastodon/.rbenv/shims/bundle exec /home/mastodon/live/bin/tootctl preview_cards remove --days=14

Did some more digging into the diskspace issue. Syslog was many gigabytes because Elasticsearch went into read-only mode because of the disk space issue. The irony. Syslog now gets truncated to 0 once a month.

I also just cleared 40,000 cached preview cards and I'll automate that from now on.

99% full -> 60% full
