Preview of changes to Identi.ca
Posted 10 weeks 1 day ago

My previous blog post on changes in the status.net service caused some worry among some identi.ca users. I'd like to reassure users that identi.ca will continue to run.

Changes are coming, although not as fast as I'd hoped. Here's my rough chronology for the next few weeks.

Upcoming changes in the status.net service
Posted 13 weeks 2 days ago

I'm going to be rolling out some new software over the next few weeks, and part of that process will be winding down our existing services to make resources available for the new ones. To start off that process, I'm announcing today a wind-down of the status.net service.

TL;DR Active accounts on identi.ca and status.net sites will continue working. Inactive accounts will be shut down, with backups available. All accounts will port to new software.

Problems with ur1.ca
Posted 32 weeks 5 days ago

ur1.ca, the URL shortener used by default by identi.ca and other StatusNet sites, has been having technical problems over the last few days, which has caused performance problems and errors for those users who depend on it.

The server is on Amazon Web Services, and the underlying hardware is scheduled for replacement. I/O is failing or timing out.

As a workaround, users should configure their URL shortening to use the internal shortener; see identi.ca/settings/url for details.

StatusNet 1.1.0 release
Posted 37 weeks 2 days ago

 In honor of Identi.ca's fourth birthday, and since the pre-release code is well and truly burnt in, I've made a stable release of StatusNet 1.1.0. More information on the wiki, but upgrades from all other versions to 1.1.0 are recommended. As always, updated downloads available at status.net/download .

FOUR MORE YEARS
Posted 37 weeks 2 days ago

I got in early yesterday after a redeye flight from Portland. I was at Open Source Bridge and IndieWebCamp last week, and had a great time talking to people about the things I care about: Open Source software and culture and the excitement around the Indie Web. After my long flight home, I hit the sack and slept half the day away, and spent the rest of the time playing with my deeply-missed kids. Which means I managed to completely forget it was July 2, Identi.ca's birthday.

StatusNet at IndieWebCamp
Posted 39 weeks 2 days ago

I'll be at IndieWebCamp in Portland over the weekend of June 30 to July 1,  the weekend following Open Source Bridge. IndieWebCamp is an amazing event dedicated to the radical proposition that every human being deserves their own Web site. StatusNet Inc. has been making Free and Open Source software for Web independents for almost 4 years, and we're a big supporter of the Indie Web movement.

Intermittent problems on Identi.ca
Posted 40 weeks 7 hours ago

I've had some intermittent problems with slave lag and queue lag on Identi.ca over the last day or so, resulting in delays in timelines (showing activities minutes or hours old) and flooding of the real-time updates.

I'm provisioning a few new database slaves to pick up the slack, which should get us back on an even track.

Update: New slave is in place; I'm going to add more over the weekend.
