kɜ:ʳ @chr@cybre.space

hey y'all, i'm no longer reachable on discord if you had my info there previously. if you need to get in contact with me, i'm @chr:cybre.space on matrix, @chr1x on wire, or you can email me at chr@cybre.space (or admin@cybre.space if you want to reach @nightpool as well)

hi i'm chr and its my life mission to boost every dragon

got quite a few new folks here today, welcome! your admins here at cybre.space are myself and @nightpool, you can read the instance rules at http://cybre.space/about/more, and likes ⭐ are florps here. if you have any questions, feel free to ask! happy pinging!

the ghost in the machine sounds like a pretty spooky guy

periodic reminder that we run a matrix instance at https://matrix.cybre.space/

matrix is a modern (federated!) chat protocol with all the bells and whistles -- look for Riot in your favorite app repository / marketplace for a slick client that can connect to any matrix server

or you can use it on the web directly at https://matrix.cybre.space/

(join #meta:cybre.space if you're interested in discussion and updates about this instance and our matrix server)

okay, local folks: images should be back if you refresh the page

something's going wrong with the custom domain feature of digital ocean's CDN. it will serve images successfully if you query it directly, but not if queried via a CNAME (domain alias), which we use to point https://dostatic.cybre.space to digital ocean's endpoint

i'm going to file a ticket with digital ocean and change cybre.space's server configuration to use the CDN endpoint directly instead of via cname for the time being.

cybrespace image outage appears to be a problem with our media provider, digital ocean. more details as i investigate further.

the floppy spins once more

notable new features include:
- local-only admin announcements
- bookmarks
- (cybre only) raised the character limit to 1024

if you spot any bugs, please let us know or file an issue at https://cybre.tech/cybrespace/mastodon

there's a bunch of crows in a tree outside and they've been going absolutely nuts for about 5 straight minutes O_o

workin on the cybrespace 3.1 upgrade

if your avatar or header image is broken due to the recent CDN change, it will probably be faster for you to just reupload it, since the CDN caches everything (even errors) with a turnover rate of ~1 hour

it looks as if some of the older media has lingering permissions issues (not a problem before because everything was being downloaded from DO by a privileged client), if you see a broken image let me know and i'll see if i can fix it

testing image upload

nvm there was just a content security policy issue. it does seem to be working now

okay so that didnt work, reverting

i'm transitioning cybre.space over from cloudflare to digitalocean's built in CDN for media. there may some intermittent downtime and media uploads/downloads may fail while i'm working on this -- bear with me
