Sorry for our unannounced disappearance.

The machine this friendica is based upon is a i9-10900x with dual wd-black 1TB SSD drives in RAID0 and four 14Tb drives in two RAID-1 arrays.

Running the root partition on raid1 software raid (mdraid) requires that
initramfs autoconfig's the RAID array for a successful boot to occur.

I had upgraded our other web server to Ubuntu 24.04 in advance of the official release date and had few problems so did the same with this, unaware that 24.04 totally broke the auto-assemble function in initramfs, as well as breaking virtual GPUs and turning the machine into a snap nightmare.

The Canonical folks deserve a big E on this release as far as I am concerned. Anyway after finally figuring out what happened we are back on 22.04 and probably will remain that way until end of life at which point we'll migrate to Debian or some other release unless Ubuntu's board has been fired by that time and moved back to some semblance of sanity.

In a day or two we should also have hubzilla, mastodon, and yacy back up.
