Heads up: Our instance datasci.social will receive new hardware tonight and a rollout to Mastodon v.4.5.1, so there might be minor interruptions tonight. #mastoadmin

phpc.social is now running Mastodon 4.5.0, released a little over three days ago. Thanks for your patience on this upgrade, which went a fair bit smoother thn the last non-patch-release bump. Have fun quoting folks! #mastoadmin

That was slightly more drama updating to Mastodon v4.5.0 than I wanted.
The OS restarted while the database migration was in progress so I had to restore the database from backups.
Except this took some time because of the size of the database and the fact that the backup software I have for the #PostgreSQL server needs to rewrite the entire database to restore older versions.

This message is intended for Canadian #Mastodon admins who are running public instances large and small. If you are an admin, please share with your counterparts. If you are a member of a Canadian instance, please send this to your admin.
A small group of us (Note: really, really small) are in early discussions on how to encourage our government - individual politicians & federal, provincial, and municipal departments - to move their social media presence to Mastodon. This would involve an awareness campaign targeting politicians, party HQs, and departments/agencies.
We are asking for input from admins to help us create a future state vision for this project, and provide us with advice or ideas on how to bring it to a reality. I will set up a web call within the next 3 weeks and hopefully you can participate. We are not asking you to contribute beyond input. Please DM me and I will add you to the invitees.

TIme to start the process of updating to Mastodon v4.5! Now that I've lightened the load on little #footiMac this should be a much quicker process than the past few updates!
Happy Updating!

Seit der Version 4.5.0 von #Mastodon braucht mein Server deutlich mehr Traffic. Größenordnung etwa doppelt so viel. Haben andere #Mastoadmin das auch beobachtet?

Hey Mastodon! Do you love community? This video on community kicks ass.

...and phpc.social is back. Network issues at our host and it took them a bit to troubleshoot.

Forgot to mention this earlier when I performed the upgrade but phpc.social is now on Mastodon v4.4.8. #mastoAdmin
@ian@phpc.social2025-10-16 05:19:00
phpc.social skipped Mastodon v4.4.6 (because I've been busy, and v4.4.7 landed shortly thereafter), and is now on v4.4.7.
