Apologies to Cathode Church users who've encountered issues uploading video and audio files -- ffmpeg is not working properly atm and I am fixing that now -- there may be a short downtime of a minute or two. #serverMeddling

Today I made new SSH keys using FIDO 2F key authentication as supported in OpenSSH 8.2+ instead of passphrases.
I also made a one-liner script to select the correct keyfile based on the name of the FIDO key, because currently there's no way to automatically select whichever key is connected. #serverMeddling

Managed to get my personal matrix server up and running from docker, which is neat. Federation isn’t working yet but I can work on that #serverMeddling

#serverMeddling Very glad I went through the extra work of setting up custom object storage for cathode church's media storage because it really does grow steadily, even on a small instance, as shown by this graph. If this was local storage I would only have about 2 months until my disk was full. Instead it can't get full and currently costs 10c a month extra.

#serverMeddling so @phosphor will be running 3.3.0-glitchsoc-cathode soon.

#serverMeddling #mastoadmin #glitchsoc just merged tootsuite 3.3.0 release into head of tree of glitch-soc with no conflicts and no issues I can see

#serverMeddling I accidentally broke the route to the object store host when I put the static IPv4 info in because OVH refuses to actually tell you the netmask you have; you have to divine it using a crystal ball.

#serverMeddling I actually disabled cloud-init networking, fixed netplan with static IPv4 and IPv6 and DNS works now so hopefully 🤞 🤞 I don't have to fuck around with @phosphor's network config again for a while

#serverMeddling I have decided I will migrate Cathode Church to glitch-soc as soon as 3.3.0-release is merged in. I thought I wanted to stick closer to regular source with hometown but glitch-soc is clearly well-maintained and documented.

#serverMeddling it has been approx. 12 hours since I have broken @phosphor so it’s clearly time for me to sort out updating to 3.3.0 release

#serverMeddling brb making it so blobcats are mandatory. At least one in Every Toot
