i was asking friends if they'd help me with moderating a few months ago, umm anyone up for that now? lol

the spam wave is being monitored

if you have any spare money this holiday season we’d really appreciate if you’d help support what we’re doing @besties running git.gay and pages.gay! one of our members got into an accident yesterday so our ability to cover remaining expenses out of pocket might not be so strong this coming […]

hi, so so sorry for git.gay and everything being down!!!!!! am actively working on it, gonna need to upgrade stuff which is frustrating

our old servers have maintenance scheduled shortly - this impacts only the pages.gay service

sorry for no prior notice </3 was messaged hours ago but didnt realise </3

h

the bsky bridge is so flaky

to be clear there’s nothing new going on right now, stuff still works and has since I made that update two months ago. Just trying to get the bsky mirror to catch up with that

boosted that post again cause one of the accounts mirrors never got it? Confused, lol

git.gay is moved, some other things too. i’ll work more on migrating things later but its already 4am so i’ll take a break for tonight lol.

let me know if things arent working as well as they should — i haven’t moved my matrix or xmpp over yet so signal (@hazy.01) or discord (@hazycora) is […]

update on our servers since ive received a few dms asking about it: I’ll give an update when theres an update, i dont want to announce some exciting news just for it to fall through again. youll know its finally getting fixed the moment I do. Last i heard was on Friday- “it’s nearly ready […]

[in case people don’t see the edit to the post] our hosting provider had to reschedule maintenance. tomorrow, wednesday the 12th, is the current date. there’s a banner on git.gay reflecting this now. apologies for the inconvenience :(

besties services (git.gay, pages.gay, etc) will be effected by maintenance from the server host currently planned for tuesday the 11th, and may take some hours. i’ll provide more info when i have it

if you didn't see, forgejo's had a security update. git.gay's down as it's updating right now, sorry for the downtime it's taking a bit longer than normal

I’m sorry to anyone whos had issues with pages.gay just randomly erroring on user pages. The service kept having issues requesting repositories from git.gay due the network provided by our hosting being broken, and it would just fail sometimes doing that and end up showing visitors a misleading […]

git.gay has over a thousand registered users now!! :ablobcatrave:

@nano woke up to this and was so confused cause i had it set to only accept secret donations so i couldnt actually see who did it and didnt get any notification except from stripe itself Haha TYSM!!!!

Payment receipt saying that nanobears has paid $13 to hazy on liberapay

supporting the goats @besties on liberapay

downtime caused by ISP. so sorry. i wish we could afford to have redundant servers for this but we cant

IPv6 temporarily disabled due to ISP problems. Will be back as soon as possible :)

:gitgay: git.gay is nearing _one thousand users_! We’ll also have ran the platform for 3 years on January 8th 🎉

new post plugging the donation links cause the old ones were specific to @h and they no longer have to be :)
