upgrading my damn mastodon server
i set up a mastodon server for me and my only friend a year ago. 5 days ago it stopped working (that's fine, as I try to have no more than one 9 of uptime). i decided now was a good time to update the server, finally. so now i need to do a year of updates...fml...
well maybe tomorrow. server is still not working by the way :-*

after about 2 weeks of downtime, it's back. i ended up doing an upgrade to the latest version straight instead of following the long recommended path. it seems to have worked. i think the mastodon-sidekiq service had just stalled and restarting that would have fixed everything anyway
See, this is where you just extend the measurement time period for your uptime 9's rating. You can have 87 hours of downtime and still achieve 4 9's if you just measure over a century. If you break your SLA, just extend it to a millennium.
genius.
