We are now up and running on v3.4.1+glitch

Thank you for your patience, fairies.

Computer Fairies is shutting down now for upgrades. We'll be back shortly. ~arielmt

I rebooted the server just a few minutes ago. Sorry for the unscheduled downtime, fairies.

Hey, Computer Fairies!

So I had to migrate our emails (for notifications, confirmations, &c) to a new host, and they defaulted to inserting web beacons and rewriting links in order to track you, and without telling me.

I've just turned that tracking crap none of us need off, but please, *please*, **PLEASE** let me or @arielmt know if you're still getting tracking links in your email notifs!

Thanks, and sorry.

Hello, friends!

The data sync took much longer than we expected, but it finished successfully. This instance's server and data migration is complete.

Thank you for your patience.

The 9-10 hour estimate was wildly off, but the work is still progressing smoothly. New media appears to be saved properly and accessible immediately, and old media is getting less and less broken.

Yes, it's an avatar-less text-only experience until then, too. Just hang on. ~arielmt

Hello, friends!

We're back, and we're on the moved server and data bucket. Your media files may be missing, but only for a while. The data sync is still going in the background, and we think it's going to take about 9-10 more hours, but it could be longer.

Please observe the no-posting sign has been turned off, and thank you for flying computerfairi.es!

Hello, friends!

We're going to have to take Computer Fairies offline for an hour or two in order to sync data and transfer the server to Ariel's care.

We plan to start this more or less at 00:00 UTC on Thursday (8:00 PM EDT Wednesday) this week. We'll make a follow-up post and announcement after that work is done.

Hey friends!

We are very happy to announce that the instance will now no longer be shutting down at the end of the year and will instead keep running, helmed by our very own @arielmt!

We're currently handing over all the relevant things and Ariel will be taking post as full and sole administrator in the near future

We wish all of you on the fediverse the best of luck.

If you'd like to keep in touch with us then you can find us on Discord at https://discord.gg/QuKf48D

Hey friends

Unfortunately all good things must come to an end, and so it is with the computerfairi.es mastodon server

We've had a good time but sadly us on the admin team can no longer give the instance the time and attention it deserves. As such, unless we can find someone willing to maintain the instance, we will be shutting down by December 31st of this year. If you would be interested in maintaining the server please get in touch with either @troubleMoney or @maplesbian@twitter.com

Apologies for the short downtime just now, we had to migrate to different hardware

Thank you for flying computerfairi.es

We should, hopefully, be done!

Now running current glitch social!

We lost the theme, but we'll be putting that back in as soon as possible

If you do happen to see any lingering issues please inform @troubleMoney

Apologies for the disruption and thank you for flying computerfairi.es

Due to the inexorable march of time, we need to do some upgrades around here

While we shall be doing everything we can to minimise disruption, some may still occur

The upgrades will begin at 1930 UTC and we shall keep everyone as updated as we can

Thank you for flying computerfairi.es
