Updated cupoftea.social. Importantly now I have authentication from federated servers for pulling data and the like so egress and load will reduce greatly

Whilst I never took this off sale because I think LGTBQ+ is a year round celebration. I feel with it being the start Pride Month again I should promote Cupoftea.social Tshirt for it

Unfortunately due to the .pe domain being able to be bought before it expires a.gup.pe and groups are no longer functioning. The page now displays a seo page on Mastodon and looks to be a bad actor by someone so I'm suspending the domain from here

So im pretty much all ready to move things over to the new server but this will take time and COTS will be down whilst it happens so I will do it Saturday midnight when its quiet.
I have no idea how long it will take as its almost 200GB to transfer over.

I'm going to be taking a break from Masto Admin things for a while. The Burnout admins have to deal with is very real and difficult and sheer amount of work has gone on top of me of late.

I leave you in the very capable hands of @accelshark

I find this whole thing creepy. That an AI agent is asking for an account then going back to discover we have a rule of No AI accounts.

Updated Cupoftea.social to a critical patch thats in 4.7.2/4.8.0 Alpha 3

I have Temporarily disabled HEIF support.0 Alpha 3
Changelog for that is here

I assume there will be a security advisory on this but nothing yet.

I feel i have to say that no one HAS to donate to be on cupoftea.social it is no problem if you cannot afford to donate or any other reason. I only ask those that can afford to and feel that cupoftea.social is worth while to donate to. Everyone is welcome

Also noticed the overview "Landing page" I had set does not actually have a link to sign up so changed that back to the About Page

Well ive done some trickery from @spielleitung and hopefully thats the last of the "Automated Probe" stuff. You dont see it but its been annoying to say the least.
