Thought I'd write an #introduction for all those #newhere from the Musk exodus:
I'm an analytical chemist. I've hosted my own #Friendica node (instance) at my home since 2018, shortly after the Cambridge Analytica scandal. From there, I got bit by the #selfhosting bug and am now hosting my own #opensource replacements for many FAANG services.
Welcome all to the #fediverse ! If you are thinking about self-hosting and have questions, would be happy to help as able!

Details of the @pixelfed security vulnerability from February 10th have now been published.
If you are still using a vulnerable version (39.5% of pixelfed instances as of today), then you should update immediately, otherwise someone may just be able to turn off federation for your instance.

Interned String Buffer Full
I switched my fpm over to 8.0 on Friendica, the same as my Nextcloud instance. Ever since I've been getting a notification about my opcache.interned_strings_buffer
becoming full. I've increased the memory in php.ini
, but it seems like it almost immediately fills up no matter the memory I give it (I have tons of RAM so can experiment). I
Seems like it caches one string to be applied over and over again to improve performance. I wonder if there are some strings generated in Friendica that are always unique and therefore always would fill up the buffer.
Doesn't seem like it's affecting anything yet, but didn't know if that's a bug or a feature.

@alysonsee (Fca) the repair added some excitement yesterday. The generator they were using was too close to the house and set off our CO detector, which correspondingly made our security company send the fire dept. out. My wife who WFH did not get much accomplished yesterday...
Thank goodness we don't repair our basement every day! 😅
