FenRecs.com Update
The rollout of FenRecs.com has gone so smoothly that I’ve decided to leave registrations open. That could change at any time, should we be inundated with bad actors, but for now I think we’re good. Fandom is doing good and so far things are awesome. The only issue that we’ve seen so far is with […]
Read MoreAnnouncing FenRecs.com – A Fandom Fic Rec and Discussion Community!
Squidge.org is proud to bring you FenRecs.com – a new site that’s designed to share fanfiction and other fanworks recommendations, as well as places for community discussion, from writing advice to beta requests to fandom and pairing recommendations. The site uses open-source software called Lemmy, and it is designed to be much like Reddit. If […]
Read MoreGauging Interest
So there’s been talk about fandom being too decentralized as of late, and I’ve had an idea that’s been rambling around my head for a while now. While it sounds good to me, I want to gauge interest before undertaking our Next Big Thing. Most people are at least a bit knowledgeable about Reddit – […]
Read MoreBrief Overnight (US) Outage
So one final holiday “gift” that we got was an overnight power outage (and in this case, gift is the German translation which means poison – thank you Grimm for teaching me that!). Power was out from about 2am until just before 6am, and there were a couple of burps that had to be resolved […]
Read MoreSquidge Images – User Signups Temporarily Disabled
Please note that due to an influx of bad agents, signups for Squidge Images are temporarily disabled. Yeah, I wish we didn’t have to do it, either. But because of people not in fandom who are trying to use anonymous hosting for non-fandom things like rape/snuff images and for-sale/commercial listings, we’ve shut down signups. The only […]
Read MoreSquidge Image Hosting
Image hosting from Squidge.org is here for fandom. If you’re using it for fandom, then you’re in the right place and have nothing to worry about. Even if you’ve got a fandom account and you choose to post pictures of concert tickets, or that really cool vase that you found in an antique store when […]
Read MorePodfics & The Internet Archive
By now, many of you have heard what’s going on over at The Internet Archive. But if you haven’t, you can read up on the attack here. Our hearts go out to them, as well as those podficcers who choose to archive their works at The Archive. If you are a podficcer and you’ve lost […]
Read MoreSystem Status
As an FYI, we had a bit of a blup this morning which caused all Squidge.org services to be down for a short while (less than a minute). However, SquidgeWorld Archive did not come back immediately, so we had to perform a hard reset. The server should be back up withing about 20 minutes. If […]
Read MoreSquidge Support – Email Issue
Though it was unknown to us until now, email support tickets were being delivered to our Helpdesk system Freescout, and we were acting on them. However, due to an internal configuration issue (that was hidden to us until this morning) emails were not going OUT. So if you get an email about a ticket that […]
Read MoreSquidgeWorld Downtime
After normal maintenance this morning, SquidgeWorld did not come back up. It’s a problem not with the archive, but with the underlying configuration of the webserver. I think the issue is resolved, and the Archive is slowly coming back. We’ll know soon if we have to bring the archive down again. Hopefully it was just […]
