I just upgraded my Macbook Pro to MacOS 26 Tahoe, and after that I didn't have internet connection anymore. It was connected to the wi-fi, but couldn't reach the internet or my network.

In my case, this seemed to be caused by Little Snitch, which I had installed. I disabled it by removing it under Settings > Network > Filters (and I removed the program as well just to be sure), and after a reboot the internet was back.

I hope this helps anyone with the same issue.

The latest blog post about our .world and the Fedihosting Foundation. As you can read in the blog, the donations are no longer covering our running costs. If you are able to spare a few Euro's or dollars or whatever currency, please check the list of our donation platforms in the blog.

Edit: I will add these to the blog: https://bunq.me/fhf (for EU bank transfers) https://github.com/sponsors/Fedihosting-Foundation (Github Sponsor)

The default page for Friendica is the 'Network' page (https://friendica.world/network), but that loads very slow, almost always getting into a time-out.

Going to other pages mostly works, for example https://friendica.world/community

I have now enabled the 'Startpage' addon, where you can set the page you want as the default landing after logging in. I have set it to 'community'. You can change it here: https://friendica.world/settings/addons

We are trying to get the latest RC version (2025.07-RC) of Friendica installed today. Taking an extra backup of the DB is taking some time.

Update: The upgrade has been tested but we ran into an issue, which we filed here: https://github.com/friendica/friendica/issues/14998

We have taken the opportunity to optimize the database, and have now restarted friendica.world awaiting a solution to the issue before we upgrade.

At this moment, friendica.world is not stable. You can experience 504 or 503 errors, or just be unable to load the site.

This is being worked on. We'll keep track of the currently known issues in this post.

Database query tuning

One of the main issues at the moment is the database hanging with many inefficient queries running for minutes or even hours. Most of them are using an inefficient 'NOT IN' or similar construction. We've created an issue for that here: https://github.com/friendica/friendica/issues/14947

Also we've created an issue for many updates to a key-value table: https://github.com/friendica/friendica/issues/14948

Update 30-06-2025

The beforementioned issues were closed, we'll upgrade to 2025.07-RC in order to get the latest fixes and do troubleshooting from there. We'll send the slow qeury logs to the devs.

Currently we have an images issue. Our Wasabi (S3) account was disabled because of some illegal content that was found, we're working with them to get the account re-enabled and the content removed.

[Update 20240308 14:47 UTC] The issue has been fixed.

There's some unrest because the Open Collective Foundation is stopping.

Don't worry, we use Open Collective Europe as a donations platform, they're going nowhere.

We've added some donation platforms, so if you would like to support us running our .world servers, you can do so here:

And for those wanting to donate crypto:

  • Monero address: 83tnuFN4f28jRxTBW9qGDad2U23qNE5nfeW4Pfyd85oWMW7J9gqpXi3S8FDbX5uEeCAKcGnSpS2XT5dGwYiELthg8XuDrxH
  • Cardano address: addr1v9qv6xvfwcx9ny56uag4umu6238sw2e7ff2kcxl3qe7p9esayjxgu

Thank you!

[Edit] Some of the links were broken, they should now all work! [Edit 20240314: Added Liberapay]

Next to Mastodon.world and Lemmy.world I am also running Calckey.world. This was running Calckey, a Misskey fork. That was re-branded to FireFish (that's the danger of running sites with the software name in the URL... :-) ).

Unfortunately due to circumstances the FireFish software will no longer be maintained. Therefore I was looking for another Misskey fork that could replace it, and I found Sharkey. This looks really nice.

So being who I am, I registered https://sharkey.world and installed it. It still needs some configuring and branding, but it works and you can use it! (As you will see it currently uses the Calckey.world branding)

I will write a brief how-to on migrating from Calckey to Sharkey and hope the calckey.world users will migrate.

Yes, there has been quite a lot of trolls and attacks on our server, so we're very careful about who we let on the team. I'm sure you'll understand.

[-] ruud@lemmy.world 137 points 2 years ago

Well .world is also managed partly from NL :-)

[-] ruud@lemmy.world 109 points 2 years ago

I'll check the new way Lemmy detects dead servers, it's possible an outage caused lemmy.ml to think we're dead (we're not!) :-)

[-] ruud@lemmy.world 114 points 2 years ago

Ask in their GitHub repo.

The user was banned immediately. Also rate limiting has been put in place on community creation. (Removing the communities takes some time however..)

Ooh I need to check the size of the custom emoji 😄

[-] ruud@lemmy.world 94 points 2 years ago

Hmm. Seems to work for me.. (Yes this is a test reply)

[-] ruud@lemmy.world 276 points 2 years ago

This is lemmy.world after 4 weeks:

58G	pictrs
34G	postgres
[-] ruud@lemmy.world 131 points 2 years ago

If any illegal content would be posted there, let us know. If it's 1 community, we can block the community. If it's all over the place, we can defederate. But I see defederation as a last resort. If there are other ways to keep our server safe I prefer that.

[-] ruud@lemmy.world 95 points 2 years ago

My political views are not important, we just have a set of rules and as long as you follow these any decent polite discussion would be possible.

I'm also not going to ban !ajax@lemmy.world just because I support a different team..

[-] ruud@lemmy.world 117 points 2 years ago

Yes, on the to-do list! Thanks!

[-] ruud@lemmy.world 323 points 2 years ago

Thank you for all the compliments.

This ride reminds me of Mastodon.world in November. Details on that are here: https://blog.mastodon.world/and-then-november-happened

So I started lemmy.world on a 2CPU/4GB VPS. Keeping an eye on the performance. Soon I decided to double that. And after the first few thousand of users joined, doubled it again to 8CPU/16GB. That also was the max I could for that VPS type.

But, already I saw some donations come in, without really asking. That reminded me of the willingness to donate on Mastodon, which allowed me to easily pay for a very powerful server for mastodon.world, one of the reasons it grew so fast. Other (large) servers crashed and closed registrations, I (mainly) didn't.

So, I decided to buy the same large server (32cpu/64threads with 128GB RAM) as for masto (but that masto one has double the RAM). With the post announcing that, I also mentioned the donation possibilities. That brought a lot of donations immediately, already funding this server for at least 2 months. (To the anonymous person donating $100 : wow!).

Now next: to solve the issue with post slowness. That's probably a database issue.

And again: migration took 4 minutes downtime, and that could have been less if I wasn't eating pizza at the same time. So if any server wants to migrate: please do! If you have the userbase, you'll get the donations for it. Contact me if you have questions.
