Service degradation notice:

Currently users from some locations are experience a slowdown in access and usage of instances hosted in Masto.host

This is happening because one of the most important POP of OVH network is down.

OVH is the company that hosts all servers for Masto.host and they are working on the problem: http://travaux.ovh.net/?do=details&id=37330&PHPSESSID=db7ca341fe52326fb80bb6ddc868914f

I will continue updating this thread as I have more information.

Really sorry about the trouble this is causing.

To be clear, all instances are working normally it's the network access to the OVH data centers that is affected as traffic that was passing on the POP that is down is over loading the alternative routes.

Some users will not be affected at all (in Europe everyone should be able to access without a problem) but other locations can experience the slowdown.

Until the issue is solved the only work around is to use a VPN with the location set to Europe.

@dtluna @are0h @sathariel The sadder part is how are0h implies that we can't relate to people with different physical characteristics to us, and we must pander to them in order to be more inviting. The funny thing is, most people don't have my skin colour and combination... but I am still able to relate to characters that don't, and even write stories about those that don't share the same features. Diversity in ideas is the diversity we need most, and it is often pushed aside in order to have physical diversity in agendas like this one.

This is a note to people moving their repositories blindly to Gitlab.org: do you know Google is actually a huge investor in Gitlab?

The issue is not about Microsoft buying Github. The issue is about centralization and silos.

You do not solve that by moving your data from one silo to another.

You solve that by relying on small providers you can trust, or by becoming a provider yourself.

We should all be very alarmed by the WH news posts calling immigrants "animals". This is how people get normalized into the kind of thinking that allows them to justify genocide. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2018/05/21/white-house-feeds-trump-base-with-news-release-doubling-down-on-ms-13-animals/?noredirect=on

Facebook: depression because all of your friends and family are closet morons

Instagram: depression because you aren't living on a beach with gorgeous friends like every other person on the planet

Twitter: depression because the world is a garbage fire and you must bear witness to the horror

Mastodon currently feels my older forum days, it's fantastic. I make a post about something and it reaches just enough people that generally someone reaches out with a similar interest and we connect from there

The FBI is claiming to have almost 8,000 phones it can't get into. But there are numerous companies offering to break into these phones. So if the information on these phones is so valuable, why won't the FBI use one of these services? The obvious answer is that they want to force Apple and Google to give them a back door. So the EFF is asking the FBI to prove that they really can't get into the phones or to shut the fuck up.
