Calckey is not going to be called "Calckey" for much longer, that's all I'll say... 😉

So, an update on things. #Calckey

1. I'm very sorry for all of the degraded performance lately on calckey.social. As you may or may not know, we've been testing changes with our codebase, database deployment, ims deployment, and a whole lot more. After a lot of testing and changes, I thought that we were good enough to start opening signups again. Turns out... we're not. As I continue to work on things and start team up with some very smart people who've worked in deployment and scaling systems, we're going to do our absolute best to make sure that we can handle things on all ends, and hopefully get extra hands on deck for day-to-day operations, so it's not all on my shoulders. I was sadly unable to attend to a lot of things yesterday due to being out of town for the holiday, and being in a no-service area for the majority of the day, so I didn't know that there were issues until it was too late. Thank you for your patience as we go through growing pains. A full write-up on what went wrong, the steps we took, and how it's fixed (once it's fixed!) will be made after all this is done. For real.

2. I did NOT expect this amount of support, interest, and coverage! Hitting 13k from 11k in a little over 2 days across all servers is still boggling my mind. And it's not just calckey.social -- so many other servers are getting new users, and even ~30 new servers cropped up! Thank you all, from the bottom of my heart. I'll make sure that I do my hardest to make sure you all have a great experience.

3. As promised, you all deserve a peak into what we've been working on in secret for months. More details to come tonight/tomorrow. Stay tuned. 😉

Sincerely,
Kainoa

Please boost ​:boost_requested:​

As part of a wave of layoffs, I got laid off from my backend development job last month as the company's financials I was working with have been steadily decreasing. I applied for another job shortly after, and after a month of interviews and an honestly great response from their team, at the last minute, they told me that they were focusing their hiring efforts away from the US and towards Singapore. With Calckey donations, I don't have enough money to pay for rent or groceries. So I'm asking to #GetFediHired, I'm the lead developer on the Calckey project, and I'm a fullstack, multi-language developer. I have 3+ years of enterprise experience, and I work great on teams as well as solo. Resume and references available upon request.

#Calckey announcement ​:boost_requested:​

So, drumroll please...

🥁🥁🥁

Here's what's coming up!

Yes, Calckey is undergoing a full rebranding!! But it's more than that. We've worked for MONTHS on this, and there's going to be a lot of changes and exciting things coming up. This includes:

• Press releases?!?!
• A super sick trailer video
• A full roadmap for the next couple YEARS
• A new flagship server that will be AUTOMATICALLY MIGRATED TO from calckey.social (a Fediverse first!)
• A cute new mascot ​:calc_swear:​ <(I'm not cute?!)
• A new code hosting service with better CI/CD
• The stable release you've all been waiting for, but not as v14.0.0... as v1!!

And this is all coming on

July 19th.

Save the date.

How would y'all like to see an invite-only Fediverse instance specifically for Fediverse projects? The idea's been bouncing around in my head for a bit but a comment today got me really thinking about the idea. ​:fediverse:​

An update on what happened last night:

We've been experiencing a lot of PostgreSQL timeouts. I thought it may be a good idea to move the database to a serverless platform, https://neon.tech , so I took down c.s and attempted a migrate. I assumed this would maybe be 30 minutes to an hour, it ended up taking over 4 hours. After it finally worked, it was even slower than our own postgres server, so I switched it back.

I don't care how much you disagree with someone's federation/moderation policies, don't fucking threaten animal cruelty/torture and tell someone to off themselves over choosing to federate with a server.

I appreciate all the enthusiasm around Calckey and the desire for new features, but please don't come into my replies and demand I add something or fix something immediately. I don't know you. You are not my boss.

Hey, everyone, please keep a heads-up for this: there's some weird spam bot thing going around that's mentioning Calckey. I don't know what these accounts are or what their goal is, and I (/the Calckey project) am not affiliated with them. ​:boost_requested:​
