Berlin marathon anyone?

Beklager enda en litt nedetid. Maskinen med db kræsjet igjen. Jeg ga den mer minne, men skal følge med for å se om det er noe rart.

Hei, Litt tips: Dere som følger @uio_bot @usit_bot @uniforum_bot Usit-bot kjører på "quiet"-modus. Det betyr at man må enten sett opp varsler på den for å få innholdet derifra, eller må man se på profilen. UiO_bot og Uniforum_bot har kjørt på denne måten de også, men jeg byttet de nå til […]

Vi beklager nedetiden. Maskinen med databasen hadde en crash. Proxmox har vært litt ustabilt for noen vm'er. Jeg undersøker feilen.

Hei! For dere som liker https://uniforum.uio.no (Uniforum), så har vi nå en uoffisiell konto med nyheter fra dem: Følg @uniforum_bot

Aaaaaand a very smooth #pixelfed upgrade. Thanks @dansup

If I could choose one piece of technology that never let me down, that'd be Dovecot. Their replication works amazingly. As soon as a server gets back online, all e-mail is synchronized back from the backup MX. That kind of peace of mind is priceless. #dovecot

Kjære babb-brukere, Jeg beklager på det sterkeste enda en nedetid, som varte ca 36 timer. Det var et problem i vårt datasenter, som gjorde at flere maskiner måtte slås av. Jeg setter veldig pris på deres tålmodighet, og vil gjerne høre hva dere synes om hvordan vi skal sørge for at sånne ting […]

I must admit that I am a bit hypocrite. I talk almost everyday about how organizations should leave Microsoft. But I can't leave Apple. I really want to leave it. I almost did the jump to Linux now that my faithful (maybe not so much so) died. But with a family that is highly integrated with […]

We had a small problem last night with our router, and because of that there was downtime. Sorry for this.

It is astonishing that the USA is willing to harm their own economy (in addition to Brazilian economy) by imposing tariffs on Brazil in order to defend… Bolsonaro. The world became a kindergarten with all the mean kids in it.

Kjempebra! https://www.khrono.no/akademisk-frihet-ogsa-fra-tek-gigantene/983102

I am sorry for the downtime we had over the last 30 minutes. I am really, really sorry. I had to upgrade mastodon, and things went bad Thanks to this amazing community, we are up again.

There are still a few little problems with our instances, I am investigating the issue.

Da er alt I Babb-universet oppgradert. Beklager for lengers nedetid enn planlagt.

Hei! I morgen ettermiddag skal vi ha litt nedetid etter kl 12:30. Jeg håper at det ikke værer mer enn 30 minutter. Dette er viktig for å kunne oppgradere systemene våre.

For de som ikke har sett denne websiden - helt konge når offentlige etater tar Fediverse i bruk https://peertube.ra.no/videos/browse

Vi hadde litt nedetid i dag, pga uplanlagt ruteroppgradering. Vi beklager ulempen dette kan ha medført.

Gratulerer med dagen! 🇳🇴

Jeg stiller til valg til universitetsstyret ved UiO. Du kan lese valgplattformen min her (på engelsk, norsk versjonen kommer): https://www.uio.no/english/about/organisation/elections/board-elections/2025/election-platforms/technical-administrative-staff/medeiros-logeay.html Kort oppsummert […]

I am finally watching The Handmaid's Tale. I watched the first episode some years ago, but didn't want to watch it then because it was too dark. I'm now in the middle of season 3, and can say it is among the best (and scariest) series I've ever seen.

It just got to me: getting fascists in government is terrible. But it might be temporary because the fascists of the day are just dumb. Take Bolsonaro. Take Trump. Two buffoons, two idiots whose world view is so narrow that they are doomed to be stopped. Now how scary would be if we got a […]

Det er noe så rart med boligmarked nå. Før i tiden kunne man få finansieringsbevis nesten over alt. I dag blir man tvunget til å flytte lånet til banken før de gir deg finansieringsbevis.

Dear Babb-friends: My deepest apologies for today’s downtime in our services. Most of the services are back now, only Friendica is down. I’ll try to fix it tonight, but I’m sick so I hope I have some energy to do it.

A little update on our server problems: Our NAS is not restarting. Mastodon.babb.no is the only service we provide that is now working. Pixelfed, Bookworm and Friendica are down. I am abroad, but I'm trying to fix it. I hope we can have a fix before 16:00 today.

We had a five hour interruption to our servers due a failure on a PSU to one switch we’re deeply sorry for any inconvenience.

Good morning from Munich! #cs3conference has just started. #cs3 #cs3conference

"I'm Still Here" is the first Brazilian production to win an Oscar. A movie about the evils of a dictatorship. It's an American award on the soil of a country that supported a military coup that lasted more than 20 years and, coincidentally, is now on […] [Original post on social.vivaldi.net]

I'm Still Here 🇧🇷 wins Oscar for Best International Feature Film. #oscars

What's to stop Musk, who's already tried meddling with German elections, from seizing Zelenskyy's, or any other European leader's X account, and posting something with dire geopolitical consequences? We're way past the point where it's wise for European leaders and institutions to rely on a […]

And people voted for that idiot...

I wanted so much to run the Berlin marathon this year, but I didn't get a spot on its lottery. I also didn't want to pay the very high prices of a registration through a travel agency. When I thought all hope was gone, I got a mail today saying they had a second lottery, and I could […]

Old news, but, boy, Friendica looks good on this: https://gitlab.com/randompenguin/bookface #friendica #bookface

Dere som bruker Https://books.babb.no - jeg har gitt instansen litt mer resurs. Si i fra hvis dere merker forskjellen.

I have a few apps on Nextcloud, such as Photos and GPXPod that can be quite intensive CPU and disk-wise. They need a fast backend to generate previews and/or routes on maps. Do you have tips on how to increase performance? Is it only scalable via brute force (ie, buying an ultra fast cpu), or […]

Jeg har et gammelt problem med Cecilie Hellestveit. Det har jeg hatt siden hun kommet med absurde påstand om utenlandske forskere. Men tror at hun har nå nådde et punkt som gjør at jeg tenker, liksom... WTF? Hun sa I et innlegg på Facebook at USA ikke ville være krigsforbryter hvis den utføre […]

היי אני רוצה ללמוד עברית. יש מישהו שרוצה לתרגל את זה איתי?

A little rant about e-mail authentication: https://francisaugusto.com/2025/Email-quo-vadis-or-where-is-oidc-for-everyone/ @mwl I'd love your comment on this!

Så stolt av så mange kule norske kontoer hos Pixelfed.babb.no. Denne her liker jeg veldig: https://pixelfed.babb.no/i/web/pastoslo

Just migrated most of Babb storage to Minio. Then I created some tasks so that I get things backed up. So much better to have control over own storage... #minio #mastoadmin #truenas_core#truenas#truenas

Done. I think it worked!

Ok, things might get bumpy in one minute

Babb-people: Am going to change storage provider on our server, so things might get bumpier. When I am about to change, I'll give a heads up. If it works, it will be fast. if not, oh well...

Noen spurte meg om vegansk pålegg som jeg nevnte og som jeg kjøpte hos Røtter - var det deg @eivind ? Det var det her.

Driver du en mastodon-instans? Da vurder gjerne å være med i vår relay: https://relay.babb.be Dette er en relay for norske instanser slik at trafikk på norsk eller av interesse for oss i Norge skal kunne nå alle. :) Send meg en melding hvis du er interessert #norsktut #allheimen #mastoadmin

Det er ikke fredag, men litt anbefaling om en kuuuul konto: https://pixelfed.babb.no/pastoslo For de som er veldig glad i Oslo og gamle bilder.
