Changeover to Hetzner is 99% complete. We ran into some unforseen complications, namely a typo in the firewall config that took some time to diagnose and fix.
God, I never want to have to do that again.

At our current rate of traffic, we are likely to exceed our bandwidth quota before the end of the month. As a result, we will be moving to a better provider this Monday. Expect extended outages that day as we make the transition.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

Brief outage today as I somehow misconfigured the routing tables... ironically enough, trying to resolve a network congestion issue.
Everything's been restored, but the original issue hasn't been resolved yet. Will work on it some more later... hopefully without breaking the Internet again.

I've been troubleshooting some network congestion issues that have cropped up recently. 95% certain I know the cause and already have a partial solution in place, but working on a better one.
Edit: typo

During this time, we will be without power, and this node will be down.
We have been having some ongong issues with people's feed failing to load. There is a known bug that is scheduled to be fixed in the new version of Friendica coming out this month which I believe to be responsible for the problem. In the meantime, I'm seeing what I can do to alleviate the issue.
I apologize for any inconenience, and appreciate your patience.
Brief Outage
Blank Page Issue Workaround
With the increased traffic on the network lately, we've been having some intermittent issues with people's feeds coming up as just a blank page. If you've been having problems with this, you can alleviate the issue by reducing the number of posts that show up per page on your feed.
You can find these settings by going to: Settings ➡️ Display ➡️ Content Settings
...and then changing "Number of items to display per page" and "Number of items to display per page when viewed from mobile device". I currently have mine set to 10.

See you on the other side.

As a side note: if I ever talk about changing the OS on the server again, kick me in the head repeatedly until I come to my senses. It's the humane thing to do.

TOS Update
Email Outage
There is no evidence that the attacker was able to compromise user accounts, so you do not need to do anything. What this does mean is that outbound emails will not be working today, but should resume working by tomorrow. This means no email notifications and no password resets.
I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

In short, I'm an idiot.
Invitation Link Not Working
Hey all,
I've managed to get the email system working (almost) perfectly now. The one thing that's still not working is the link to invite someone to the node. It will say that an invitation email has been sent when it actually hasn't. This seems to have to do with a bug in the Friendica code itself that I have reported upstream.
In the meantime, you can work around this by copying the text of the invitation and emailing it yourself, or you can just direct them to https://social.jlamothe.net to register their account.
I apologize for any inconvenience.
Jonathan Lamothe
•As a side note, automated emails are still not working.
Edit: they're working now.
