What up crackers, admin speaking. Cawfee Club has been updated to the latest released versions of Pleroma backend and frontend. The main changes are:
- quote posts
- custom emoji reactions
- frontend decoupled from backend -> more frequent updates possible
- miscellaneous little frontend fixes and changes
All changes should be listed here.
https://pleroma.social/announcements/2024/07/17/pleroma-major-release-2.7.0/
I find the quote posts quite cringe, but disabling them doesn't seem possible out of the box. Anyway, incoming quote posts should render correctly now. The same goes for custom emoji reactions - as were a thing on other instances for some time now, you might have previously received a few. You should be able to find them when scrolling through your posts... or not, I'm not sure.
As for the frontend tweaks... I can't put my finger on it, but some things feel off. I think that most links in the default theme have turned cyan - except for the sidebar, where they are black now. We'll probably get used to it as always.
Incidentally, some 12 GB of disk space got freed when running database migrations after the update. I don't know how, I'd rather not know, but it should prevent most random hours-long crashes for a few weeks or months.
Sorry for putting this off for months, and as always, please let me know if you find some new bugs. I know we already had some bugs around following people on other instances, I wonder if that's going to be fixed now.
As my next act, I'll probably add a bunch of celebratory emoji. I've been bookmarking posts with cool emoji for months now, they're in my sights. :airismile: Then there's going to be a small revision of the rules. The ones we have now have been in effect since the beginning, and in order to grow, they'll need to be less vague. They're still the same in spirit and if you didn't get warned/banned yet, you're most likely safe, I just wanted to clarify some edge cases.
I guess that's it. Good night! :ccsmile:

@npub12kq…f4j5 5 years and counting + suboptimal DB design + a lot of stuff federates in
for comparison, all media ever posted here is 218 GB but that doesn't need fast access so it's all on a hard drive that's relatively cheap ($5/mo for 1TB)

We've been down for about 10 hours, sorry about that. It struck while I slept. The database is just growing too massive (see pic) and I had to reorganize it a bit. Expect the performance to degrade a little.
I'm considering purging old remote posts again. The last time I did that in January 2023, all remote posts older than 2022 were nuked. Methinks 6-12 more months worth of posts would go in this case... but I'll let you know in advance.

Happy New Year my Niggas. It's been a wonderful 5 years and I could not have asked for a more beautiful userbase. God bless you all in 2024.

Warning, the following features are BROKEN since the maintenance:
- Deleting your statuses
- Undoing your likes and boosts
- Undoing your reactions
I'll have to look deep into it tomorrow, it's very late now.

And we are back! The maintenance was a huge success and over 60GB of flotsam was removed from the database. In case of any problems, report them immediately. :cirnosmile:

Wow, this came too fast. Moving the downtime to 21.12.

Cawfee might be briefly down tomorrow, I had trouble with logging into my bank account. Just a heads-up.

At last!
State of the Instance (May 2023)
Quick rundown:
Defederated a few pedophile instances.
We were not affected by the hack that hit poa.st.
Running out of space again (expect 1-2 days of downtime in July).
