#SocialBC Migration Complete!!

We are online emanating from our new server hosted by Sandwich.net in Vancouver!!

Huge thanks to James @jrenken who made it happen!

He finished around 3:30AM but if folks want to send him some thank yous for when he rises that would be nice!

Some processes are catching up in the background including DNS and search indexing but otherwise things should appear normal.

If you do detect anything wrong don't hesitate to contact us.

#MastoAdmin for those of you in the US do you have any thoughts on how a potential loss of Section 230 immunity would impact you? I'm worried about the increased liability risk

#Section230

Didn't want to troubleshoot the pgbouncer container, so I just removed it from the stack. I also re-configured the sidekiq containers, scaled down from 44 to 10 containers. (1100 to 250 threads)

We once had over 100.000 monthly active users, but that's down to 7600 now.

I'll also plan a migration to a new server, we need less CPU and RAM, and more disk. And the database should be upgraded from Postgres 14 to 18.

goingdark.social just got its second donation.

Two in two days. That's something.

Thank you @cyberwitch for keeping the lights on. It means the world! 🙌

If it ain't broke, don't fix it...

With that said, I'm thinking about updating Certbot so I can try the new 6 day certificates that #LetsEncrypt have made available.

I don't need to do this, my current 90 day certificates work and update just fine, I just like to tinker (usually to my regret)

If you run your own Mastodon server and wondering how to manage storage, there's a useful video by @fedihost about it:

They have also made lots of other useful tutorial videos about hosting your own Fediverse server:

The videos cover Mastodon, PeerTube and GoToSocial 🙂

Someone just donated to goingdark.social for the first time.

I'm not gonna lie. running this instance takes work. Infrastructure doesn't maintain itself, storage costs money, and keeping things running smoothly isn't always easy.

This made my whole week. Thank you @lor, seriously. 🙌

Nope, rejected! LOL. Wonder if this is AI or just a templated user request. #MastoAdmin

Running Mastodon on FreeBSD? Stop using wrapper scripts that break service status.

I've refactored the init scripts for Sidekiq, Puma, and Streaming to be fully production-grade:

- Clean privilege dropping (no su wrappers)
- Native signal handling for log rotation
- Correct PID tracking & status reporting.

I published the scripts and the reasoning behind them in my Codeberg gists:

https://codeberg.org/Larvitz/gists/src/branch/main/2026/20250115-FreeBSD_Mastodon_rc.d.md

I use those to run a Mastodon instance and they're working great so far!
