Over the past several days, we conducted a "scream test" by shutting off https://verifiedjournalist.org to see if anyone screamed. Turns out, it's not serving the purpose we hoped it would since no one did. So, we'll be retiring the service at the end of April, 2025. #news #journalist #journalism Sad day.
This should go over well with the R states. https://journa.host/users/w7voa/statuses/113947641136472669
Having raised 6 kids I can tell you that every single sleep position for babies can cause SIDS. Strong recommendations from baby 1 turn into "OMG not that way" by baby 3. It is a tragic reality that SIDS happens. There are things you can do to minimize the risk. https://mastodon.world/users/verdantsquare/statuses/113641473498440844
Hi #mastoadmin friends and those watching the #relay we've been hosting for years. We've now been down for about four days and still can't get the damn thing back up. Not sure how to fix. We'll cancel all recurring subscription donations and invite everyone back as soon as we can find a solution. Apologies for the downtime.
This fucking sucks - he should be forced to pardon himself and admit guilt https://journa.host/users/w7voa/statuses/113545010449850648
Fellow #news #newsie orgs and #journalists. We're proud to host https://verifiedjournalist.org as a free resource for locating authenticated journalists and news orgs on the #fediverse but the cost just went up as we’re needing to register in multiple countries. Is it worth it to keep this service going to you? Total cost will be close to $1,000/year for all the keywords and domains. We do take donations, but to date, it doesn't cover even the hosting costs.
Options: (choose one)
This looks promising! https://mastodon.world/users/mufasayc/statuses/113074528680017855

Attention #mastoadmin types! https://ourselves.space and all related internal services will be going offline for a few minutes for an upgrade! #mastodon compat services impacted. #peertube #bookwyrm #pixelfed #writefreely services unaffected.
Today, for the first time in several months, we had to upgrade the infrastructure at https://ourselves.space! (that's a good thing!) We're continuing to see small but steady growth across all of the platform ecosystems. Our #fediverse endpoints include #peertube, #writefreely, #mastodon (compatible), #pixelfed, and #bookwrym. We're small, moderated, and you can bring your own domain (to the mastodon endpoint) for a small monthly fee. Check us out at https://ourselves.space for more!
Been hearing whispers all weekend, some from people who I'd *definitely* listen to, of a remote execution 0day in the Signal desktop and possibly also mobile app. Mitigation is supposedly to disable link previews (under settings->chats).
I have no more details. What I've heard doesn't completely make sense, but disabling link previews should be at worst harmless and seems prudent until this is clarified.
Whoopsie! verifiedjournalist.org is having a moment. Please stand by.
Today is a GREAT day to not have to run your own #fediverse #mastodon server. You can bring your own domain to our multi-domain supported ecosystem. Come, be yourself at https://ourselves.space! Powered by The Doodle Project https://www.thedoodleproject.com/singleuser and the outstanding OSS @[email protected].
Earlier today, our registrar had a bit of an issue (still trying to figure out what). That took down the entire ourselves.space ecosystem. We’re working on increasing redundancy where we can. This happened at the registrar level, so, improvement here may take a bit.
If you are a Chrome user, you've probably been been opted-in to Google's enhanced tracking system without any warning.
Chrome's newest update pretends to provide users "Enhanced ad privacy", but actually enrolls Chrome users into a new trackings system.
To disable Google's "advanced" ad tracking, go to Settings>Privacy and Security>Ad Privacy and disable all three options there (Ad Topics, Site-suggested Ads, and Ad Measurement).
Network alert - ourselves.space services getting a teeny patch right now. You may see a hiccup! #mastoadmin
A bit strange - we just had an outage on our main proxy server. Back up, but unacceptable. Going to do some research to see what was cooking. Apologies for the inconvenience. Total outage was ~11 minutes.
#NeoVibe update: We've been whitelisted on thedoodleproject relay and joining 400+ other instances in federation.
