@zazzoo @SisterArtemis Indeed. The updates from 3.5.5 to 4.0.2 require database migration. I’m going to wait for v4 to become more mature before I update. And even then I’m going to try to test run using another VM before I do it with the live server.
@SisterArtemis @admin @zazzoo it’s hosted on digital oceans out of SFO.

Including the @admin account so I can type on my keyboard. Milburn is the one on my phone and I hate tiny keyboards.
So the VM is a 2 CPU 4GB Ubuntu Linux server with Digital Oceans' prepackaged Mastodon server. It was surprising easy to set up with AWS S3 storage.

Think of those specs as a 10 year old Core2 laptop. You can do a lot of you don't spend your time drawing pictures on a screen (GUI) :)

All the respect, Uncle - I'm used to working around quirks of older machines and software, so no biggie.
I'm loving this place, btw. Thanks so much for creating a portal to get us over here. It's also fun to have something new to learn.
