Built my Mastodon site without too much difficulty: https://aswmast.life/
Now the decision on whether I want to attract users and start using it. Worth considering as an alternative to other social media networks. Still a federated option to consider as well. Maybe multiple schools connected together? What about other instances? Cost? Do I need to shut it down to save money?
Has been very stable recently and CRONTAB job setup to do Brew Upgrades is working with reports sent to Mailhog as intended. There have been a couple of Zoom crashes, but otherwise, very stable and now a working machine again. I’m happy with PHP 8.1 and MariaDB now seems more stable as well. Also configured glances -w to work so that I can see system status in browser. All very good.
Still have an occasional crash under Monterrey. And, can’t fix Google Drive, but have a workaround. Most of it works well, but these frustrations are rattling.
Google Drive issue seems to be related to network server connections. I can get one on the desktop using
smb://localhost:51000
…but can’t get the other drive. Frustrating.
Finally got my site back online. Now to check for stability. Thank you Monterey – seems to have sorted out all the issues somehow. Log is clean. Now doing updates and thanks to TimeMachine, have all my plugins back without too much frustration.
