Okay! The upgrade to #Mastodon v4.2.0 was successful at last. But it wasn't easy.
Something is wrong with one of my hard disks. Just "compiling" all the files took about an hour. It's two disks in a RAID1, a #Toshiba and a #Seagate. The Seagate is significantly slower than the Toshiba, to the point where I believe it's a firmware issue.
Has anyone ever done a firmware upgrade on a HDD in #Linux? How did that go?
I also had issues with `mastodon-streaming` because of the absolutely ancient #NodeJS version that comes with #Ubuntu 20.04. I remebered I had one in `/usr/bin/node` and one in `/usr/local/bin/node`. This time I symlinked them instead of editing the systemd unit file.
And, as you can probably tell by now, I also changed my character limit to 4096 because why not?
