The old server only had room for a single NVMe, so it is nice to get the redundancy. 2024-12-02T03:19:39Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsqt495ysdnzkq6cqeln78renhrvze8pyn3s5xdt6svp42lj9lm0ugzyrnthh0g4fh3z7dqvthvy4tgtmha6qraz3y9nm39fl9gwyjamtjzxft0t07 In working to clean up the last spam wave I discovered an account “instance.actor” that has 0 followers and 0 posts, and is present on 3,223 different instances.

We have upgraded from Mastodon 4.2.13 to Mastodon 4.3.1 (with equivalent patches for features.)<br/><br/>Some changes between 4.2.x and 4.3.x:<br/><a href="https://blog.joinmastodon.org/2024/10/mastodon-4.3/">https://blog.joinmastodon.org/2024/10/mastodon-4.3/</a><br/><br/>One patch has been changed with this upgrade. <span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a itemprop="url" href="/npub12tscz5mexfzcp4l6a7e798a705wf4msqjp668xx6jwvwz8n2qqaqy6x422" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1"><span>Jeff Moss</span> (<span class="italic">npub12ts…x422</span>)</a></span> decided we should move from a 1000 char max to 2000 character max per post.
