Oh, mastodon.nzoss.nz
Now the poor old dear has really shit the bed. Right in the middle of the great PHP locust plague of '26, doesn’t rain but it pours, eh? We are very lucky to have @lightweight (and helpers?) diligently fighting all these fires affecting iridescent.nz services (and any surviving nzoss.nz ones), and doing the preventative bush-clearing that reduces the number there are to fight.
I hope Dave is planning to take a least a day or 2 of well-deserved rest over the long weekend. He’ll need it by this point, and we need him sharp! Instead of using the services he hasn’t managed to repair/ initiate yet, the rest of us will just have to go for a walk, or talk to other humans in person ![]()
Once back in the studio, I think the priority is the new Mastodon at social.iridescent.nz. AFAIK there’s no deadline on when we can migrate the follows/ followers from our old nzoss accounts to our new ones, and getting account migrations to work may take longer than restoring the old server anyway.
I don’t know how much use the Friendica server is getting, but it seems like a much lower priority from where I’m sitting. Not sure what other PHP-based services still need refloating.
