I just upgraded my Macbook Pro to MacOS 26 Tahoe, and after that I didn't have internet connection anymore. It was connected to the wi-fi, but couldn't reach the internet or my network.

In my case, this seemed to be caused by Little Snitch, which I had installed. I disabled it by removing it under Settings > Network > Filters (and I removed the program as well just to be sure), and after a reboot the internet was back.

I hope this helps anyone with the same issue.

The latest blog post about our .world and the Fedihosting Foundation. As you can read in the blog, the donations are no longer covering our running costs. If you are able to spare a few Euro's or dollars or whatever currency, please check the list of our donation platforms in the blog.

Edit: I will add these to the blog: https://bunq.me/fhf (for EU bank transfers) https://github.com/sponsors/Fedihosting-Foundation (Github Sponsor)

The default page for Friendica is the 'Network' page (https://friendica.world/network), but that loads very slow, almost always getting into a time-out.

Going to other pages mostly works, for example https://friendica.world/community

I have now enabled the 'Startpage' addon, where you can set the page you want as the default landing after logging in. I have set it to 'community'. You can change it here: https://friendica.world/settings/addons

We are trying to get the latest RC version (2025.07-RC) of Friendica installed today. Taking an extra backup of the DB is taking some time.

Update: The upgrade has been tested but we ran into an issue, which we filed here: https://github.com/friendica/friendica/issues/14998

We have taken the opportunity to optimize the database, and have now restarted friendica.world awaiting a solution to the issue before we upgrade.

I found this community te be without moderators. Is anyone willing to moderate the community, and maybe keep some content coming in?

Finally a new blog post about all our instances and the finances..

turns out I did my math wrong, so it’s a little less than 30 days

https://canvas.fediverse.events

✨ this year’s event also supports the entire fediverse not just Lemmy!

(you have to be able to make/receive text posts, like mastodon, lemmy, pixelfed, etc) (peertube accounts will not work)

you can get update announcements on other fedi platforms with @[email protected] link

chat about Canvas on Matrix or Discord (they’re bridged)

Woo-hoo today's my cake-day on Lemmy.world.. actually I'm the first here but many will follow the next days. Happy cake day to you all!

Currently we have an images issue. Our Wasabi (S3) account was disabled because of some illegal content that was found, we're working with them to get the account re-enabled and the content removed.

[Update 20240308 14:47 UTC] The issue has been fixed.

There's some unrest because the Open Collective Foundation is stopping.

Don't worry, we use Open Collective Europe as a donations platform, they're going nowhere.

We've added some donation platforms, so if you would like to support us running our .world servers, you can do so here:

• Ko-Fi‬ (Preferred because of low fees)
• Liberapay
• PayPal
• Patreon
• OpenCollective
• Bunq

And for those wanting to donate crypto:

• Monero address: 83tnuFN4f28jRxTBW9qGDad2U23qNE5nfeW4Pfyd85oWMW7J9gqpXi3S8FDbX5uEeCAKcGnSpS2XT5dGwYiELthg8XuDrxH
• Cardano address: addr1v9qv6xvfwcx9ny56uag4umu6238sw2e7ff2kcxl3qe7p9esayjxgu

Thank you!

[Edit] Some of the links were broken, they should now all work! [Edit 20240314: Added Liberapay]

Next to Mastodon.world and Lemmy.world I am also running Calckey.world. This was running Calckey, a Misskey fork. That was re-branded to FireFish (that's the danger of running sites with the software name in the URL... :-) ).

Unfortunately due to circumstances the FireFish software will no longer be maintained. Therefore I was looking for another Misskey fork that could replace it, and I found Sharkey. This looks really nice.

So being who I am, I registered https://sharkey.world and installed it. It still needs some configuring and branding, but it works and you can use it! (As you will see it currently uses the Calckey.world branding)

I will write a brief how-to on migrating from Calckey to Sharkey and hope the calckey.world users will migrate.
