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
