All #QOTO features on our Mastodon server are back up except for Math rendering. We fixed that in the beta instance and will be bringing it up on the main server sometime in the next 24 hours.
Second Update, this time to the CSS is done. #QOTO should be back to looking as nice as always.
MathJax is temporarily down as I fix a issue with it. I will announce when it is back up. Might be later today.
Shortly #QOTO will do a minor update to fix some of the CSS issues introduced int he latest update. Down time should be unnoticeable but just want to warn everyone just in case.
#QOTO is back up safely post-upgrade. Going to cleanup some CSS that ooks a bit off since the upgrade but otherwise everything seems to be working.
QOTO is now on the QOTO variant of v2.9.3 of Mastodon. Enjoy!
Ok we think we resolved the #QOTO issue and are attemping upgrade again in a few minutes.
#QOTO had some issues during upgrade. No data lost. Attempting again soon.
I want to thank everyone for your patience. As many of you know we have been redoing the entire QOTO architecture. This included many new services for our users (all free!) but also some very big changes.
It took us some time to move over to the new infrastructure plus our founder, Jeff, was in the hospital for about 9 months and that seriously slowed us down.
However the latest version of QOTO's variant of mastodon has been beta tested and is ready to go. We will begin the upgrade of the official server tomorrow evening.
As always the QOTO server will include all our usual additions to the code base and MathJax support will be reenabled on this upgrade as well.
We will update the community with the exact time of the upgrade sometime tomorrow once we know. But expect it to be in the middle of the night for both Europe and USA time zones.

The #QOTO FunkWhale instance just surpassed its first 100 gigs of audio uploaded. Thats a lot of MP3s!
Good to see everyone enjoying the service.
Signup is free fr all QOTO users: https://audio.qoto.org
#QOTO update:
Our peripheral services (not main QOTO mastodon instance) were down for a period today. The reason was a bug in AWS ECS services that caused our load-balancer to go down. It has since been fixed and hopefully will not occur again.
All services are back up.
The services affected include the following:
NextCloud - https://cloud.qoto.org
GitLab - https://git.qoto.org
GitLab pages (including user hosted pages) - https://*.qoto.io
FunkWhale - https://audio.qoto.org
PeerTube - https://video.qoto.org
Discourse - https://discourse.qoto.org
Who here would fid a WriteFreely or PixelFed instance useful?
We are trying to decide which other federated servers to host on #QOTO and would love to hear from people on their opinions.
#QOTO update
QOTO now offers a Funkwhale service for free to all QOTO members. It can be found here: https://audio.qoto.org
Funkwhale is a federated technology using ActivityPub. This means you can follow people's audio library just like you would follow someone on QOTO. Get an account, upload some audio, and share it with anyone in the fediverse.
Funkwhale is part of a series of federated services QOTO has been bringing up lately for its user base with the intention of facilitating collaboration and announcements around STEM based projects. Here are a few of the other services we have:
PeerTube instance for sharing videos with the fediverse: https://video.qoto.org
NextCloud instance for general file storage like google drive but federated: https://cloud.qoto.org
GitLab instance for hosting git based source code repositories as well as hosting static websites including the option to bring your own custom domain: https://git.qoto.org
Discourse instance a mailing list, forum, and Q&A server: https://discourse.qoto.org
And of course our Mastodon server where this toot is posted: https://qoto.org
#QOTO Update. We now have a PeerTube instance up free to all QOTO users to use. The new server can be found here: https://video.qoto.org
This server is in addition to several other servers we brought up in recent weeks, all are open to users of QOTO:
NextCloud: https://cloud.qoto.org
Gitlab (allows to host private domains as well as several free CI runners): https://git.qoto.org
Discourse: https://discourse.qoto.org
And of course there is QOTO mastodon at https://qoto.org
Later next week we will probably get FunkWhale server up and PixelFed. We will continue to be a home for Federated and Distributed social technologies that enable STEM projects to collaborate and publish their results.
#QOTO update:
We recently added a new service to the QOTO family of services. We now host a Discourse server are https://discourse.qoto.org
It is currently empty but will act as a space for discussion around open-source STEM projects or general STEM discussion. It will also act as a mailing list for any project managers who wish to use the service for their projects.
IT compliments our other services well including a GitLab instance open to the general public for open-source STEM projects as well as for our users to host private or personal websites.
We also have a NextCloud server open to the public for open-source STEM projects and individuals to utilize as well.
In the next few weeks we will continue to bring up new services including PeerTube, Pixelfed, FunkWhale, and many more on their way.
I’m thinking of 5 numbers such that their mean is equal to their median. If 4 of the numbers are 14, 8, 16, and 14, what is the 5th number?
Please CW answers and hints in your responses.

I've just redesigned my experimental garden's shape. I couldn't stand all those keyholes and weird paths anymore.
Wrote a small article about it, which is like a long toot with more pictures, in case anyone is curious about it: http://www.arteteco.com/20shapes/
Ok so i made a mistake on this problem. Turns out this was accidentally a trick question. The answer is that any amount of fuel will get you to any height. The reason being that as the fuel is expended the mass of the ship approaches 0, so acceleration approaches infinity. So by the time the rocket is out of fuel it would be moving at the speed of light no matter how much fuel it started with.
As suck I will post a new version of this question and ill make sure i solve it BEFORE I post it.
