Some of you are likely already aware of this, but I organize a group called PhilTel aiming to install free-to-use payphones in Philadelphia. We are having an install party at @iffybooks on December 17th where we will install our first phone (more info here, https://iffybooks.net/event/philtel-free-payphone/)!
We will also be distributing a zine that explains the project and some of the interesting things you can do with the phone.
Hope to see you there! https://philtel.org
@kevin Yeah, I migrated all my files to the root the way the docs said to, and after changing my config and restarting the service, all the images were broken because they contained the bucket name as the parent folder.
Doing a right-click, Open Image, and removing the bucket name from the directory tree took me to the appropriate files.
My next worry is that new files are going to end up in the root and further break things when I try again.
@kevin Weird... I wonder why I had different results?
@kevin Yeah, my server is the smallest compatible droplet, and instead of splitting Compute and Storage between DO and AWS, I figured I'd store it all in the same datacenter.
@kevin After migrating all my data, I found that the files are expected to be stored in
'bucket.region.digitaloceanspaces.com/bucket'
instead of just
'bucket.region.digitaloceanspaces.com'
No idea why, but moving all 150k files one directory deeper kept failing, so I restored from the snapshot I took before I made changes, and plan to start over from scratch with that caveat in mind.
@kevin Yes please! I've been following the cybrespace instructions, but I ran into a URL caveat.
Though it might because I am using DigitalOcean Spaces (S3-compliant).
The guide I am using: https://github.com/cybrespace/cybrespace-meta/blob/master/s3.md
All these new servers/users/followers are filling my poor little single-user instance up with data fast. There's so many of you!
Already knocked myself offline trying to move everything to S3, and failing at it.
I know what I did wrong, so I'll be trying again later today after sanity checking my process.
I can only imagine what it must be like to run a big instance. o7 to the community admins out there. Thank you for your service.
mastodon used to be an incredibly small, tight-knit, and like-minded community.
then april 2017 happened and more people came in that mastodon.social could handle, so we adapted.
things change, life moves on. this isn't the first endless september and it won't be the last. meet new people, make new friends, be kind, etc

It's pretty staggering the amount of election disinformation plaguing the Birdsite right now. Just straight up lies about how elections work. Republicans are ramping up for another complete election-denial shitshow.
We need to start acknowledging this as an existential threat to democracy, and treat it like election fraud in and of itself when politicians start repeating these lies in an attempt to overturn legitimate results.
Wow. This needs to be read by everyone who joined Mastodon in the last week: https://www.hughrundle.net/home-invasion/
Because I'm on a German server my trending topics are #keinVergessen and #niemalsVergessen. This is because 9 November is the anniversary of Kristallnacht.
These brass plates in the pavements memorialise Jewish people at what were their addresses. I saw this one in Berlin in the spring. #NeverForget
With all these new followers, it's time for a proper reintroduction.
My name is Alex, I live in Seattle, and I am Product Support Specialist in the NetSec sector.
On Mastodon you'll generally find me talking about music, retrocomputing, demoscene, and leftist politics.
I've been on Mastodon for a couple of years now, but it hasn't been my main home until now.
Looking forward to a new chapter here on the Fediverse with all of you!
@vantablack You are a hero for preserving this piece of history!
