I have to say I am impressed with @beasts today.
I asked them to migrate my instance and run it. Basically the “bookworm” upgrade had totally borked it. They have managed to do that in really quick order this morning.
It is a tad extravagant paying for my own instance. But for the “lack of hassle” it is worth it.
Though the biggest gripe is why the hell is #mastodon not just:
sudo apt install mastodon
And that the end of it.
That is what is really broken. Oh well.
