Mastodon Upgraded to 4.3.0
It took a few attempts as the system CC's services on sometimes is heavily busy with other tasks, but I did manage to upgrade our Mastodon server to the newest release. If you notice any issues, please let me know.

A Word about CC’s Defederation Policy
This is being posted on the site information page so I can refer people to it in lieu of a FAQ. CyborgCentral's Mastodon server will not federate with any fediverse server that operates solely for the purpose of promoting political party propaganda. There is no difference between right wing or left wing sources in this […]
Propaganda is Everywhere
In a recent bout of thoughtlessness, I dared to respond to a George Takei post, that spoke of voting "not being a marriage" - presumably, in the interests of convincing leftists that it's really totally completely fine to support a centrist. Of course this is complete hypocrisy, given Mr. Takei's (and most liberals) tendency to […]
GoDaddy: Hackers stole source code, installed malware in multi-year breach
Glad I GTFO'd the karate school's site before this happened. GoDaddy is actively trash, not simply due to their tendency to aggressively "update" their user's sites into non-functionality, but also their lack of security care, and their defense of neo-nazi Mastodon instances (in conjunction with CloudFlare, who nearly always refuses to take action, unless there […]
Mastodon Streaming Fix
There was a misconfiguration that caused streaming to not work on mastodon.cyborgcentral.net that has been fixed. I apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. As always, if anything is broken on CC or any of CC's sub-sites, please let me know.
Sustainability Re/CC
OpenSource.com has a really good article about sustainability up, focused around the sudden popularity of Mastodon, and how us FOSS people can keep things going for the foreseeable future, by participating in distributed systems. Just as an FYI, or if you were wondering: The systems that power CyborgCentral and its services are all run on […]
IPv6 Enabled
All of CCs services should now be available via IPv6 (as well as still being available via IPv4). You shouldn't notice any differences, so if anything weird happens, please let me know.
Server Upgrade
I've migrated CC to a newer, faster system with a lot more muscle. If anything seems broken, please let me know.
Reconfiguration Completed
The changes to CC's setup have been completed. IRC should be available as well as the Kiwi IRC page, and we have a new service available: Mastodon! This is a federated service, allowing it to interact transparently with other Mastodon servers on the distributed network. If you would like an account, please contact me, or […]
Internal Changes for Federation
IRC will be down for a while, during an internal changeover to another design for handling web traffic on CC (i.e. setting up a proxy.) Sorry for any inconvenience.
