@d3z yep. And I don't know why it was so pish poor. I suspect that there was an issue on the 3G side. After a while, I got a single bar of 4G and things started to work

@bolster Stop trying to make Mastodon happen

It should be a legal requirement that there is free high-speed Internet access available anywhere that parents have to wait around for their kids to do activities. This thought has been brought to you courtesy of a shitty 3G connection at camogie practice.

I *think* I’m now fully on this instance. I did the whole follows/followers migration thing earlier today. Everyone I follow has been quiet today though so it could be completely broken for all I know.

@nivrig this arrangement works for me. I’ll get you a key cut.

@d3z I've done an upgrade to the latest and greatest Mastodon version. If you're using it in the next few days can you keep an eye open for service misbehaviour?

@nivrig Why don't you buy the stuff and keep it at my house. I'll keep it ticking over for you.

(This is the patented technique I used on my brother when he wanted a SNES. He had no TV in his bedroom, but I did...)

@Moltz just some of it, or olive it?

@simonw charge phone from iPad? 😜

@simonw do you not tether much with your mobile phone provider? I’ll regularly do this providing access for my iPad, laptop, or even the youngest kid’s iPhone (she has no SIM in it, she’s only 9).

@d3z I'm just amazed that it's still up and running. I was sure that I'd turned it off while attempting an upgrade and forgotten to turn it on again 🙂

Still doing that split brain thing of having @mkelly and @mo. I think I can do an account migration at some point, but I'll need to get nitech.online upgraded at some stage.

*taps mic*

(I don't schedule it to be annual, it's just that it seems to be that the Christmas break is the only opportunity I actually get to maintain the server.)

Just tried the annual update of this Mastodon server and had to give up because it looked like I was running out of memory. 🙁

Hosting company got back to me and said they could migrate in all my existing devices. For about £7 per device per year. That’s not happening.

Back to using the Cloud Key locally!

It’s Christmas, so that can only mean one thing... HOME NETWORKING TIME!

Except my new UniFi Switch is registered with a cloud hosted controller, and I’m stuck waiting for support to help me out with it. Very tempted to just reset it and adopt into the existing controller pending a full migration.
