After close to 2 years of meowing on the fediverse, we decided to open donations for meow!
Currently they will be used to pay @Nomaxice for his full time moderation work on meow.
Depending on how things evolve from there, we may dedicate some of the funds to pay for the hosting fees (currently handled by @Tiwy57 )

You can do a one time donation at https://paypal.me/meowsocial

Or chose to do a recurring donation on https://liberapay.com/meow.social/

Any donation, no matter how small, is appreciated!

We've just launched the rebuild and resync of the Array containing data.

Estimated finish : 5 hours.

You can track the progress in our netdata monitoring : https://meow.social/netdata/#menu_mdstat_submenu_md4;theme=slate;update_always=true

Meow was also upgraded to masto 2.9.0 so there's that!

There was a drive failure on Meow's array.

No data was lost thanks to the RAID setup, but while things get synchronized again, you may experience some slower load times. We apologize for the troubles this may cause and thank you for your understanding.

The server performs some maintenance tasks that may affect its latency. We apologize if you encounter any errors or problems during this time.

The duration of these tasks should not last more than a few minutes, an hour at most.

Sorry for inconvenience.

ℹ️

Meow will be unavailable Sunday 17th of March at 06:00 (am) UTC+1, for a duration of around 30 minutes, due to a maintenance operation by the hosting service requiring the replacement of defective system.

The ETA provided by our provider may be shorter than the actual downtime.

If you have any question, feel free to ask away, we will try to answer ASAP.

A strange issue during this night.

From midnight until 9:30 today (French time), the server was unavailable because of the Redis server that got corrupted.

No data was lost.

The fediverse should understands now that we are back, everything should gradually become normal!

Sorry if it took a little while. The sysadmin was sleeping ... literally.
