@Eramdam@octodon.social "looks like you're trying to make a post, do you need help?"

getting a bad sleep score bc I was up for like three hours in the middle of it :(

re: meta / suspended accounts, question 

@jules probably yes, suspension affects only what your instance can control (i.e. following and otherwise interacting with people on your instance), and public posts are well, public

@tasket @cwebber@octodon.social the webapp used to register a web+mastodon protocol handler but the popup confused people and I don't think anyone ever used it

Since other Masto admins have been posting what it costs to run their instance I decided to do the same for awoospace. 

It's important to note that since we only federate with a hand-picked list of instances (which is available on our about page), we get less traffic than the average instance with our user numbers. Also we might have a lot of registered accounts but only around 100 are active regularly.

It comes down to

  • ~6€ a month for the server (a ssdnodes KVM (4 vCPUs, 16GB RAM, 320GB disk [way too much]), they basically always have a sale going on if you're willing to pay for three years in advance, the usually throw in free daily backups), we did a big upgrade during the last big influx because the old one wasn't enough
  • 5$ a month for around 500 GB S3-compatible media storage on Wasabi (they've been unstable in the past but it's been years since we've had issues)
  • <20$ a year for the domain name

@BrodyCatsmouth in addition to what other commenters have said, Mastodon is the software meow.social is running

it's still going god why is a Pi Zero so slow

what if you wanted to go to sleep early

but you started an apt upgrade on a slow machine in a ssh session without invoking tmux first

@codl I'm still waiting for more widespread backdrop-filter use, now that it's in Firefox by default

Awoo Space

Awoo.space is a Mastodon instance where members can rely on a team of moderators to help resolve conflict, and limits federation with other instances using a specific access list to minimize abuse.
