Maintenance is complete and the backend has been updated to 2.11.0 (from 2.9.1, waow). That should make us safe from the latest crop of vulnerabilities, and there are also some new database indexes that should speed up our server. But the update also... uh... ate most of our free space.
Moreover, I think I solved the login problem, i.e. if you couldn't login with the right password lately, that should be fixed. Please let me know if it still doesn't work, or if you hit some new bugs!
Also pending accounts have been approved. Maybe I should set an alarm to check that more regularly.
The frontend will probably be updated sometime later, I'm still pretty hesitant about that. Currently we're at 2.7.1, which is over two years old and the versions after that have changed a lot of fundamental things. And this version just works.

If it's too much of a pain in the ass, bloat.cawfee.club feels a bit faster, maybe even is, and I bet it burdens the server a bit less.

Sorry for Cawfee suddenly being slow again, I don't know what's causing it or where to even debug this. Reboots didn't help, disk space is probably not it, and we're not getting scraped as far as I know.

Oh hey. Of course I remember, I was wondering where you went. (Also basadeskaiser. Do you guys still talk? I don't know where he is.)
>only for a short period, years ago, the "forgot password" option really worked
It never worked. The dialog was there but since Cawfee doesn't have configured email, it basically did nothing. So I explicitly hid it.
Anyway, sending the reset links in DM.

One two. One two. Is this thing on?
*ahem*
Brothers, xisters, welcome back. As you probably know, Cawfee Club has unprecedently been down for a month. What started as a weekend maintenance, kept dragging on and after a week or two, I became increasingly despondent and my mental state spiraled downwards. It was pretty much this feedback loop when the longer the instance was down, the less I felt like fixing things. So yeah, you could say it's my fault.
I could apologize endlessly, but for now, just seeing the levels of activity on here so high after only a few hours moves me beyond words. I really love you guys, and I missed you a lot.
A thorough explanation will come later. For now though, there's a particularly vile bit of disinformation I have to debunk - this downtime was NOT caused by updating Pleroma. I did not update Pleroma. I'm looking at you, hakui.
That being said, we'll be federating in whitelist mode for at least a day or two so that the server is not overloaded by catching up on too many posts. I'm open to adding any instances to the whitelist, just tell me the domains in response to this post.
