i kinda forgot about relay.catboys.science, but i'm adding it to the list of the services hosted under the Meow Tech Foundation umbrella now
if one is an instance owner and wants their instance to get added to the relay, then one can message me about it and if i'll say that the instance is approved, then you can set up the relay in the instance settings
URL for Mastodon also works for *key and Iceshrimp.NET, btw i'm just too lazy to maintain a fork of the relay software which would tell that on the page

hiyo! some updates
1. Open Collective's fiscal host i've applied to finally responded with advice to instead apply to their fiscal host specific to open source communities, they actually already host mastodon.world, so i think we will be a nice fit for them
but this specific fiscal host requires for there to be two administrators in the organization, so...
2. we have a new member! meet sekomi (a.k.a. Emilia)
- Pronouns: she/her
- Website: sekomi.neocities.org
- Fediverse account: @sekomi
we both wanted for her to be the part of the initiative at some point, and now that Open Collective asked for there to be two admins, here we are

@knightpp

в мого поточного домашнього серверу проц в плані швидкодії на одне ядро досить повільний, це мені в ідеалі треба ще один сервер купляти під такі сервіси, плюс все ж таки інтернет в датацентрі буде набагато краще, ніж мій домашній інтернет, навіть враховуючи те, що і там, і там - гігабіт, тому на моєму досвіді сервіси, які я переніс з домашнього серверу на виділенний, працюють у рази швидше
ну й до того ж в мене поки що немає ДБЖ на випадок вимкнень світла
мій ультимативний план - розбудувати свою інфраструктуру, але це треба робити десь в Києві або у Львові (певно краще в Києві, бо уявляю, що він краще до інших датацентрів під'єднаний), плюс ще купа інших факторів, тому з цим складно і це точно буде сильно пізніше, навіть скоріш за все сильно пізніше реєстрації як неприбуткова організація

i think i'll post more frequent updates on what am i currently doing, because why not
contacted OVH support so that they would unblock the SMTP port, but i think they will do something on the next day or while i'm sleeping

hello
i realized that Open Collective doesn't really have any tools to publish a planned budget, so i made a little budget myself for transparency
this is not extensive (i can't plan that much ahead, sorry)

hi :3
i have rehosted our Forgejo on the dedicated server which is also powering Wafrn and Sharkey
apart from that:
- it is now protected with iocaine instead of Anubis
- now one can register using their Codeberg account
- no email notifications for now, i want to switch to my own email server first
- it is now on a new domain: git.meowtech.foundation

oh, and if any Chimera Linux users live in Ukraine or very close to Ukraine, then you are all very much welcome to test the mirror out (though the official mirror is in Czech Republic and there's also a Polish mirror, so maybe most EU folks should rather go with using those)
either way, the mirror is hosted on mirrors.meowtech.foundation/chimera-linux and the instructions on how to use it can be found here: chimera-linux.org/docs/apk/mirrors
the mirror also has the images for Chimera, just like every Chimera mirror: mirrors.meowtech.foundation/chimera-linux/live/latest/
