5 Fediverse sites have been hacked due to running outdated software.
Please take a moment to ensure that your instance of Mastodon, Misskey, PeerTube, PixelFed, or any other Fediverse platform is fully up-to-date.
It may also be wise to log into your server and update your operating system.
Debian / Ubuntu servers:
sudo apt update
sudo apt dist-upgrade
sudo reboot
Fedora / CentOS / Red Hat / Alma Linux:
sudo dnf update --refresh
sudo dnf upgrade
sudo reboot
If you update your OS, your server will be briefly offline during the reboot. If you have not configured your web services — including your Fediverse service — to start automatically on boot, you may need to start them manually afterward.
Always make a backup before performing upgrades.
If any of this is confusing or feels overwhelming, you should reconsider whether you want to be a server administrator. This is not meant as an insult. It’s great that you wanted to contribute to the Fediverse, but you may be better off participating as a user rather than an admin. People depend on you to keep services running smoothly, and that requires knowing how to maintain your system safely and correctly.

My original #introduction wasn't really an introduction of me, so here's a true one.
I am a software developer with passion for digital technologies as means for enrichment of people's lives, and strong proponent of privacy rights.
The #OpenSource, and especially the #FreeSoftware, seems to me as the fair and right way, and in alignment with my ideals, because it gives true ownership into the hands of owners and users, for everyone.
Hence, the FOSS is very interesting to me.

Are there any software projects that people would be willing to pay a small weekly or monthly contribution to support me while I develop it? I need a way to feed my family, and I don't like asking for handouts.
Please respond with ideas of things you'd like to see exist, that you'd maybe be willing to contribute an ongoing nonzero amount towards, and boost for reach. If you don't have idea of your own, that's fine. Boosting will still help!
