5 Fediverse sites have been hacked due to running outdated software.
Please take a moment to ensure that your instance of Mastodon, Misskey, PeerTube, PixelFed, or any other Fediverse platform is fully up-to-date.
It may also be wise to log into your server and update your operating system.
Debian / Ubuntu servers:
sudo apt update
sudo apt dist-upgrade
sudo rebootFedora / CentOS / Red Hat / Alma Linux:
sudo dnf update --refresh
sudo dnf upgrade
sudo rebootIf you update your OS, your server will be briefly offline during the reboot. If you have not configured your web services — including your Fediverse service — to start automatically on boot, you may need to start them manually afterward.
Always make a backup before performing upgrades.
If any of this is confusing or feels overwhelming, you should reconsider whether you want to be a server administrator. This is not meant as an insult. It’s great that you wanted to contribute to the Fediverse, but you may be better off participating as a user rather than an admin. People depend on you to keep services running smoothly, and that requires knowing how to maintain your system safely and correctly.

New blog post, a bit of an addendum to my older microblogging protocols comparison post(s) until I do an updated version at some point. It mostly just goes over a handful of big events and shifts I've personally noticed since my last post in the summer of 2024.

Posting for historical purposes:
#Misskey is NOT getting rid of #ActivityPub support

@mayel @evana @scottjenson @mastodonmigration @stefan It would only make it a little more difficult. The 'brigading' is now a two-step process for every participant.
The vector is really the 'followers-only' option. If we want to keep it, no way around sending a mandatory copy to a designated 'brigading moderator'.

@erlend Appreciate it! Could you expand on how you envision a group following another group working?

@bonfire backing!
Very happy to hear compatibility with the threadiverse is a goal. On that note, I hope you’ll consider pioneering the ability for groups to follow other groups:

I've improved federation support for Lemmy and other servers that support FEP-1b12 Group Federation.
I had to increase the number of available file descriptors on my personal server 4x because of the resultant inbound volume of ActivityPub activities! I liked a federated post and DOSed my server.

Wie grossartig das #activitypub Plugin von @pfefferle und Kollektiv ist! #gedanke 👊

Kann mir jemand erklären, wieso dieser Blog-Post nicht angezeigt wird? Das ist #Wordpress mit #activitypub aber irgendwie geht das nicht. Beim #OstBlog geht alles. Ich finde aber keine Einstellung, die ich ändern könnte.
Es heißt einefach immer "Beitragsveröffentlichung ausstehend".
