#Jortage — All services will be going down shortly for a brief period. Just routine hypervisor updates, including a Linux kernel security update.

#Jortage PSA — if you update to Mastodon 4.3 (not Glitchsoc or any downstream forks of it), then media will fail to load due to a new restrictive Content-Security-Policy. I heard people discussing this before, and apparently this never got resolved.

Glitch allows you to specify EXTRA_DATA_HOSTS, and this has been in our instructions for a while, but vanilla has no equivalent. Instead for now you will need to edit this file to add "blob.jortage.com" to the media_hosts array: https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/blob/2df86d6413d14c269d630ac39f5f9da1e7f07417/app/lib/content_security_policy.rb#L13

Hey...
what happens to images uploaded to #jortage or rather Wet-Dry World, that get removed from a post.

Are the images deleted after a certain amount of time? Or do they persist forever?

#jortage — Hypervisor crashed and I'm not sure why. Everything's back up, I'm going back to bed. Will investigate later.

The #Jortage subscription page has been redesigned to make use of Helcim's new "Add-ons" feature to allow selecting a custom contribution, including a one-time additional contribution

#jortage notice — I am rebooting our hypervisor shortly to install (massively postponed, due to my situation) routine updates and enable additional security features. I don't expect more than 5 minutes of downtime.

#MastoAdmin

If you use #Jortage and you upgraded to Mastodon v4.3.0, your multimedia could stop working, because of this commit: https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/commit/a496aeabcb28b7cc7d8a9e69bf47543c2be038c2

The redirection from pool-api.jortage.com to blob.jortage.com messes things up.

So, if you need a solution (at least for now):
1. replace "app/lib/content_security_policy.rb" with Glitchsoc's
2. add:
EXTRA_DATA_HOSTS=https://blob.jortage.com
to your .env.production
3. restart mastodon processes

(At least that worked for me)

Cheers!

I run the #Jortage project on my own, providing media storage for 92 instances, and am in the middle of an expensive move after a major life event and have very little current income.

Every month, due to the nature of social media storage, the project gets more expensive. Our CDN fees are graciously covered by #Fastly for free via #FastForward, but storage is our largest expense by far.

We're currently $58 in the hole — please pitch in if you can! https://subscriptions.helcim.com/subscribe/f1cg46rh4enf37bxt3y9gpmi6tk0x
