I will later switch friendica.utzer.de to the release candidate of #Friendica

This switch will cause a downtime due to database updates and other things, I will do this during the evening (central European time).

I files a #MariaDB bug, hat happens on my #Friendica server. Didn't really beliefe it is a bug in MariaDB, but there is a first comment seeming to be positive about my filed bug.

See here: https://jira.mariadb.org/browse/MDEV-25031

Anyone else having this problem?

!Friendica Support

On my server, the server where is profile it hosted, the profile picture does not load anymore.

It shows a fault:

Internal Server Error

Invalid photo with id 888.

#0 [internal function]: Friendica\Module\Photo::rawContent()
#1 /srv/http/src/App/Module.php(289): call_user_func()
#2 /srv/http/src/App.php(557): Friendica\App\Module->run()
#3 /srv/http/index.php(40): Friendica\App->runFrontend()
#4 {main}

Link to profile photo should be this, according to html source:
https://friendica.utzer.de/photo/52959870015ac78226075e6200304821-4.jpg?ts=1523017271?rev=2018-04-06+14%3A21%3A11

Any idea what is wrong?

Trying to move my storage from "filesystem" to "Database".

@Michael Vogel which direction of storage move are you doing? I am now wondering why the folder is not completely empty after it finished.
When I do

bin/console storage move -n 50

Here's a nice comment on the #Friendica blog I just approved:

• Mastodon started in 2016. By that time, Friendica was already 6 years old and the original creator had already left the project 4 years before to work on RedMatrix/Hubzilla.
  
• Mastodon does one thing (micro-blogging) and does it well, Friendica does many things but often very confusingly. The real shining point is the wide protocol support, but this is a niche feature not many users really need.
  
• Mastodon benefitted from wide mainstream media coverage from at least 2017, although the tone has been mixed. Initially praised as the "new hot thing" by The Verge, it's also been criticized, often unfairly, but even bad publicity is publicity. In comparison, Friendica is virtually unknown and we are currently making no efforts to change this.

Hello !Friendica Support,

this post https://friendica.xyz/display/adf174d5-9060-33f7-bfb2-485620419111 did not appear in my owns stream /profile/montag. I can see the post on test accounts on Diaspora and on Libranet. If i click on the Link to original post i can see the post but with a weird address line: Montag via Montag

Advanced #Friendica settings

...can be found in /static/defaults.config.php. Some of them are really useful, e.g. 'local_search' => true, blocks access to search for anonymous users so crawlers don't thrash your server. To apply them you need to copy the settings with values you want into your /config/local.config.php.

This is more for those using #Friendica, but I welcome any input.

What is your mobile app of choice to use with Friendica, that offers the best user experience, in your opinion? I am looking primarily at Android clients.

I feel as if I have downloaded them all, but I have not fully settled on one yet.

Perhaps @Hypolite Petovan would offer us his insight on this, too. . .

I want to move all attachments and phots ot the database, but it doesn't work.

I do:

bin/console storage move

And then I just get a fault:

Database storage failed to insert data

What is wrong, how can I find out?

!Friendica Support #Friendica

On friendica.utzer.de I got 4000 items in the queue, some of them date back to 16th Feb.

How can I check why these items are still in the queue and not processed? I had briefly upgraded to PHP8, maybe this is the reason, but how can I check what is going on?

Dear all, not a support request but rather a question to all friendica users. It would be great if you could send your feedback. The question is:

What do you think the network icon along with the icon to the right side located in the top right corner of every post do?

#uxstudies #friendica

Example screenshot (can also show friendica, twitter or other icons)

There will be a server reboot due to some kernel update paired with ip address config change that will be tested.

Reboot takes place in in 30 minutes.

I tried to move some stuff from filesystem to database with:

bin/console storage move -n 50

[Error] Der Datenbankspeicher konnte keine Daten einfügen

and in the log I see only this:

2021-02-01T13:15:28Z console [ERROR]: DB Error  - {"file":"Database.php","line":765,"function":"e","uid":"cc501c","process_id":3308496}

Anyone got any idea what this means? #Friendica current stable version.
!Friendica Support

I deleted about 90 users, which gave me 180000 tasks in the queue. Didn't think about that before, but that will take a few hours now.
