The following is the list of services that have been upgraded.
NextCloud - https://cloud.qoto.org
GitLab - https://git.qoto.org
GitLab pages (including user hosted pages) - https://*.qoto.io

One small reminder over the most recent upgrade. Because of changes in 3.0.0 our search index had to be recreated. Because we have one of the largest historical collection of toots in the fediverse going back several years this means it will take quite a while to re-index. It may be a day or two until full text search is fully working again but it will slowly come back online. Thanks for the patience.

"Sussexit" ?
So, this morning (9 hrs ago) I went shopping for needful things: peppers and garlic. Only 5 serrano peppers! :-( The man said I could have them for free and maybe some long chilies would do? How hot are they I asked? He said well, an Indian lady was just in and bit into one to check and kept panting through pursed lips for 10 minutes...
I bought a bag of those :-)
Then it was so close to white-out on the way home. I had to slow down to nothing to find my turns. Still going out there actually.
