I need to do some updates. Ill give it 5 mins but need to reboot the main server #cupofteasocial

Well if i dont let a couple of bots through for 15 mins how would you know if I did any work 😆

Sorted now anyway.

#Cupofteasocial #Mastoadmin

Updated cupoftea.social. Importantly now I have authentication from federated servers for pulling data and the like so egress and load will reduce greatly

#cupofteasocial

I'm going to be taking a break from Masto Admin things for a while. The Burnout admins have to deal with is very real and difficult and sheer amount of work has gone on top of me of late.

I leave you in the very capable hands of @accelshark

#Cupofteasocial

More redesign updates on the glitch fork for cupoftea.social. I update so much that sometimes its actually tricky to see

#cupofteasocial

RE: https://cupoftea.social/@Donations/117316299527529673

Ive updated the donation bot to include how many days left we have to reach 100% i will set this to the 15th going forward once we hit 100% in a few days time. that way everyone knows

#cupofteasocial

Updated COTS for more backend and Redesign stuff.

#cupofteasocial

I find this whole thing creepy. That an AI agent is asking for an account then going back to discover we have a rule of No AI accounts.

#Cupofteasocial

Quick update for COTS for mostly a backend update to Ruby 4.0.7. Some translation updates and more removal of HEIC/HEIF stuff for the time being

#cupofteasocial

Updated cupoftea.social again , this time was more redesign stuff for the web front end.

#cupofteasocial

Updated Cupoftea.social to a critical patch thats in 4.7.2/4.8.0 Alpha 3

I have Temporarily disabled HEIF support.0 Alpha 3
Changelog for that is here

https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/releases/tag/v4.7.2

I assume there will be a security advisory on this but nothing yet.

#cupofteasocial

I feel i have to say that no one HAS to donate to be on cupoftea.social it is no problem if you cannot afford to donate or any other reason. I only ask those that can afford to and feel that cupoftea.social is worth while to donate to. Everyone is welcome

#cupofteasocial

Also noticed the overview "Landing page" I had set does not actually have a link to sign up so changed that back to the About Page

#cupofteasocial

Came back off of cloudflare now i fixed the automate probe rubbish. Not had a signup from that since yesterday.

#cupofteasocial

Well ive done some trickery from @spielleitung and hopefully thats the last of the "Automated Probe" stuff. You dont see it but its been annoying to say the least.

#cupofteasocial

I want to make it clear. Cupoftea.social is NOT shutting down.

#cupofteasocial

Noticed some people moving off the server. If theres anything I can do to help keep you on let me know.

#cupofteasocial

Ive changed the donation bot to post every 9 hours instead of 5.

#cupofteasocial

Im setting COTS to Approval only signups for the time being as we are being hit with some Japanese spam to do with automated Probes" like its VGER from Star Trek TMP

#cupofteasocial

Welp thats ilands.app email domain blocked and a new rule. NO AI Accounts
