We are VERY excited about all the features landing in the next release! However, we’re also introducing one big breaking change—and that’s the purpose of this post. WE ENCOURAGE EVERYONE USING BADGEFED TO CREATE A DATABASE BACKUP BEFORE UPGRADING.

(GO, do it now, we will wait for you and then continue reading this post.)

Don’t worry: if you forget, chances are you won’t lose data, but recovery may be trickier. If you can, please back up first.

Summary (read before upgrading)

  • Database filenames now match your domain, for example: mydomain.db. The previous single default filename is no longer used by default.
  • Back up your existing SQLite file NOW. You can also download a backup from the admin portal: Admin > Database > Download Backup.
  • After upgrading to 0.1.1, the app uses a per-domain database. Use the import utility to migrate from your backup—or copy your backup into the data directory and rename it to the domain-based filename.
  • Prefer one shared database? Set the environment variable SQLITE_DB_PATH to your desired (or current) filename (for example, badgefed.db).

If you already upgraded without preparing

  • Your previous database was not replaced or deleted. Locate your old badgefed.db (or backup), copy it to the data directory, and rename it to the new domain-based filename.

The 0.1.1 release and full release notes are coming soon!

Badge up!

Hey Fediverse! 👋

We’ve been quiet… but not idle. Forget waiting for long blog posts, time for micro updates.

Today’s news:

We’ve got a few BadgeFed instances live and federating! 🏅

To make it happen, we did a hardcore backend rewrite to support multiple domains on a single machine.
For most, it’s a niche cost-saving move, but it might be useful for others too. Under the hood: each domain runs its own SQLite DB, with backups in place.

But this isn’t just about the tech, the fun part is seeing multiple BadgeFed servers talking to each other (!!). Follow them, check the thread, boost it, and watch for more as they come online!

#Update:

#GregAbbott threatens to try to expel #Democrats who left #Texas
The Texas state #House is set to reconvene at 3PM CT Monday. Democrats have left the state to try to stop #Republicans from moving ahead with enacting a new congressional map that would give the #GOP 5 more safe seats in the #US#Congress.

The #Texas#House can conduct business only when two-thirds of its 150 members are present. At least 51 of the chamber’s 62 #Democrats will need to boycott the session to prevent #Republicans from acting on the new map. The lawmakers could return a couple of days before the special session ends Aug. 19 & use other stall tactics, but any success could be short-lived as #GregAbbott can immediately call another 30-day session.

Okay, so I did a dumb. And it's going to need some #TransMutualAid

I assumed my job (Goodwill) would be paying me throughout my recovery period. But they didn't except for the week of the surgery itself. All because I'm part-time and not full-time.

Which means I foolishly blew through the money (not nearly enough) DoorDashing food cravings and (thanks to withdrawing a $100 check to pay some tax stuff to the IRS) I am broke until the next paycheck comes Friday.

I also have the possibility of Medicaid not covering the #orchi surgery I had. And wanting to also slowly save up for vaginioplasty.

Deleting all food apps off phone and setting up some short-term mutual aid sources when I get home before doing a long-term #GoFundMe .
