Currently, #digitalocean (our cloud service provider) is having a bad day and suffering from intermittent outages. There's not much we can do, I'm afraid. We're monitoring and will evaluate other options for #mcrwtf if it goes on for a long time.

We have a status page for #mcrwtf, if anyone's interested! It's at https://mcrwtf.cronitorstatus.com/

#mcrwtf is now up to 4.1.4 - sorry if anyone experienced any downtime. Should have been somewhat smooth.

Ok #mcrwtf! We're back on a shiny new Mastodon 4.1.3 and an expanded server with more memory and stuff...

Nerds might like to know we've also got an ipv6 address now but I've not hooked it up yet!

From 12pm Friday 7 July, mcr.wtf will be unavailable whilst I perform upgrades. This includes security fixes to ensure our safety, an upgrade to a more powerful server to increase performance and a couple of small configuration tweaks.

mcr.wtf will be unavailable whilst I do this. It should take less than half an hour.

#meta #mcrwtf

Anyone on mcr.wtf got any feelings on the Threads thing? My plan was *not* to preemptively block them as I don't feel right preemptively blocking anyone. I'll keep a close eye though.

I'd like to remind everyone you've tools to block other users or whole instances yourselves and I encourage you to use them. I also encourage you to use the reporting tools if you see anything which contravenes our rules.

As always, if you have any questions don't hesitate to contact me!

#meta #mcrwtf If you notice things running a little slowly on mcr.wtf, I'm running some background maintenance. Should be complete in an hour or so.
