Good morning Famichiki! There is some more maintenance planned today, this time on the Pixelfed server. Starting around 10am JST (just under 2 hours from now), we're going to bring the server down to migrate the database and webserver to a new host. This is expected to take up to 2 hours, but if all goes well it should be up sooner than that.

Hello, Famichikizens! In around half an hour, the server will undergo some brief maintenance as we move Elasticsearch to a new system. The server will need to be restarted, and may be a little bit slow and/or throw an error when attempting to search. If all goes well it shouldn't take more than a few minutes. We'll update when it's done.

Alright, we're back - for now. Our host screwed us again with 6 hours of emergency maintenance. Because the storage was being sporadically disconnected from the servers, Famichiki had to be shut down to protect data (especially the database VM).
Fingers crossed they're done, but we'll be monitoring server performance closely and may be forced to take things offline again.

Hello, Famichiki, we're back! That's the good news.
The bad news is we've had to revert to a backup, due to issues with our host. It's from Sunday morning, so posts from the last 3 days will be unavailable.
Efforts will be made to restore the data if we can get access to it.
Apologies for the extended downtime. This exposed an issue with our infrastructure that will be addressed shortly.

Just noting we've suspended ali525-q.hf.space, hopefully the spam wave will die down soon. Thanks to everyone for your reports.
Thanks for the heads up on hf.space @Haikyoneko@famichiki.jp, we'll look into whether that should be completely blocked.

Good morning, Famichiki! We're seeing some performance issues at the moment but the cause is not obvious, so we're going to take the opportunity to upgrade to 4.5.7 and give everything a reboot. In around 10 minutes (at 10:30am JST), we'll be applying software updates and restarting the servers, so there will be a few minutes downtime.

Hello Famichikizens, hope you're all having a great Sunday! There's a new version of Pixelfed, so those of you over on our Pixelfed server might see some brief interruption while we upgrade to v0.12.7. Shouldn't take long!

Starting server upgrades, expect some brief interruptions.

There's a couple of Mastodon and other software updates that need to be applied to the servers, so this will be done tomorrow morning around 6.30am JST while things are relatively quiet in
Chikiland, so expect some interruption around that time.
Updates will be provided when work starts and finishes.

Morning everyone - apologies for the downtime, we had some issues with our host which are now resolved. Please let us know if there's any lingering issues!

For anyone experiencing payment failures on Open Collective since December: some cards may require re-authorization due to backend changes during the handover from Brian.
The easiest fix is:
1. Cancel your recurring contribution
2. Restart the recurring contribution
After that, payments should resume as normal. If you run into any problems or need help, please let us know. We apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your continued support!
