Apologies for the brief interruption. We've had to update Exquisite.social to patch the SSH vulnerabilities - and it was either now or later this week.

We are all good to go now. This update also serves as the monthly #OpenBSD snapshot update - so unless another vulnerability is fixed in the meantime, we are golden until the end of march for the routine snapshot update.

Thank you for bearing with us and again, sorry for the interruption.

I'm on a #mastoadmin mission to migrate a #mastodon instance to S3-compatible object storage.

Lots of learnings around the "rclone sync" command already. Will write it all up properly once it's done.

Just a bit upfront: it has tons of flags, and they are not easy to discover. Use "rclone help flags" to find all. My favourites:

--size-only
--fast-list
--checkers
--transfers

Having to redo backups completely and realised that Postgresql in itself does backups and so does mastodon of the database and then Backupninja does a backup of said database and then Borg backups all those directories.

Yea im going to exclude a few folders and stop having 5 backups of the database a night or ill run out of hard drive space in a flash.

Je crois que je viens de découvrir un faux compte ( profile pic de thispersondoesnotexist.com/ ) qui poste des liens vers des sites de cagnottes, où les photos de cagnottes ressemblent elles aussi à des images de thispersondoesnotexist.com/

Le compte a été créé il y a environ un an, possède une semi-activité ( quelques messages tous les deux mois, sans vraiment de cohérence entre eux ), et s'est réveillé.

Chers autres #admins d'instance #Mastodon, vous avez déjà vu ça ? (détails en PM sur demande)

Chose rigolote : le logiciel qui gère la cagnotte est le même dans les deux cas, iraiser.com/fr/

When I look in Trending Hashtags there are quite a few that are 'pending review'. However, the Pending tab at the top shows 'Pending (0)' and is empty.

Occasionally, I'll receive an email saying that there are hashtags pending review but it only lists one or two of them. After I've received such an email, the hashtags mentioned also show in the Pending tab.

It all seems rather random. Does anybody know what the criteria are for a hashtag that's pending review to appear under the Pending tab (and in the administrator email)?

#MastoAdmin Misskey instance baise-moi.top either has a problem with moderation or it's being exploited to spread kiddie porn or some trolls are trying to make it look so (did not check any of the pics, but they were marked sensitive so I'm assuming the latter)

Either way I've blocked the entire instance until they get their shit together.

Edit: I noticed the instance when certain inappropriate hashtags were trending
