Verschiedene Tage und Themen und ihre Unstimmigkeiten und immer noch keine nennenswerte Sonne. Alle Arten von Planung. Posteingänge Postausgänge und stets genügend Anforderungen, die sich nur schwer vereinen lassen. Bürobelegschaft auf dem Weg in die Pause. Unten auf dem Pflaster des Hinterhofes wird diskutiert und geraucht und die Springbrunnen sind nach wie vor im Winterschlaf vereist. Aktuelle Notizen: Schnittstellenprobleme. Übersetzungsverluste. Irgendein andauerndes Rauschen, das sich nicht deuten lässt und das auch nicht verhallt.
@1a1nC oh no! Cornwall is very much the same. It’s usually cloud and rain, but we were lucky last night. Hopefully you’ll have more opportunities to see it soon.
We are very happy to announce the availability of the new stable release of Friendica “Blutwurz” 2026.01. In addition to several improvements and new features, this release contains fixes for security problems that Hrizi Bilel has notified us about. Thanks for your report! It also contains the first results of a accessibility review by Casey Kreer.
Some highlight of Friendica 2026.01 are
we overhauled the embedding of media from various sources and improved several aspects,
users can now sort widgets and channels,
the performance of system and user defined channels has improved,
admins can now export and import contact block lists and block access for non-logged in visitors to media included in posting.
If you have developed your own addons for Friendica note that we reworked our hook system and introduced a new AddonHelper class.
For details, please the CHANGELOG file in the repository.
What is Friendica
Friendica is a decentralised communications platform, you can use to host your own social media server that integrates with independent social networking platforms (like the Fediverse or Diaspora*) but also some commercial ones like Tumblr and BlueSky.
Ensure that the last backup of your Friendica installation was done recently.
Using Git
Updating from the git repositories should only involve a pull from the Friendica core repository and addons repository, regardless of the branch (stable or develop) you are using. Remember to update the dependencies with composer as well. So, assuming that you are on the stable branch, the commands to update your installation to the 2026.01 release would be cd friendica git pull bin/composer.phar run install:prod cd addon git pull If you want to use a different branch than the stable one, you need to fetch and checkout the branch before your perform the git pull.
Pulling in the dependencies with composer will show some deprecation warning, we will be working on that in the upcoming release.
As many files got deleted or moved around, please upload the unpacked files to a new directory on your server (say friendica_new) and copy over your existing configuration (config/local.config.php and config/addon.config.php) and .htaccess files. Afterwards rename your current Friendica directory (e.g. friendica) to friendica_old and friendica_new to friendica.
The files of the dependencies are included in the archive (make sure you are using the friendica-full-2026.01 archive), so you don’t have to worry about them.
Post Update Tasks
The database update should be applied automatically, but sometimes it gets stuck. If you encounter this, please initiate the DB update manually from the command line by running the script bin/console dbstructure update from the base of your Friendica installation. If the output contains any error message, please let us know using the channels mentioned below.
Please note, that some of the changes to the database structure will take some time to be applied, depending on the size of your Friendica database this update might run for days.
If you are using the daemon for your background worker, note that we have moved the functionality into the console. Adopt your setup to use the new bin/console daemon command.
Known Issues
At the time of writing this, none with 2026.01
How to Contribute
If you want to contribute to the project, you don’t need to have coding experience. There are a number of tasks listed in the issue tracker with the label “Junior Jobs” we think are good for new contributors. But you are by no means limited to these – if you find a solution to a problem (even a new one) please make a pull request at github or let us know in the development forum.
Contribution to Friendica is also not limited to coding. Any contribution to the documentation, the translation or advertisement materials is welcome or reporting a problem. You don’t need to deal with Git(Hub) or Transifex if you don’t like to. Just get in touch with us and we will get the materials to the appropriate places.
Thanks everyone who helped making this release possible, and especially to all the new contributors to Friendica, and have fun!
Yes @Peter Lord the channel cache needs to be activated in the local.config.php set the channel_cache and potentially also the system_channel_cache in the system block to true. The one is for the system channels, the other for the user defined ones. The impact on the performance differs from node to node and might also be not beneficial. Hence it is not activated by default.

It took about 12 hours for my workerqueue size to return to normal .. have others seen this ?
I also noticed a large number of bluesky post appearing on my timeline ... I suppose the result of one of the fixes (I unticked "complete the threads" to reduce the posts).
But, u3a.social seems to be back to normal now ... seems pretty responsive to me. Very happy 😀
(And then, that annoying moment of wanting to file an issue with a piece of software that doesn't nicely interact with another piece of software and having to learn that both projects keep their issue trackers on different platforms so mentioning people "over there" doesn't work and linking between both doesn't work well either and eventually all the information needed has been collected and the server will fail out with a generic error message while trying to submit this report. Work lost. Fragmentation woes, infrastructure challenges, obstacles of all kinds. Divide et impera.)
City grey but a bit brighter today. Concrete hidden under wet snow. A flock of doves on the terrace railings. Construction sites waking, ballet of cranes illuminated in blue and red strings of light. Colleagues arriving. Chocolate and tulips, close to 8am and a second coffee for the conversation.
an excellent start to my campaign to get 50's style diners hosted at all major radio telescopes! The pier would be a great feature and I imagine the spiral staircase needed would make the interior really pop!
@CCirco I honestly love brutalist architecture. People dump on it, but there's something about it that gets to me; rugged, minimalist, and powerful.
(I mean, I also like those retro PC cases that everyone thought was ugly—the ones with about fifteen drive bays and lights and the little LCD display for turbo mode—so there's probably a connection here somewhere.)
Früher Tag trifft auf späte Nacht, und das Selbst erlebt einmal mehr jenen eigenartigen Moment, in dem Gewohntes und Mechanisches die Regie übernimmt, man plötzlich am Waschbecken wiederfindet, die Hände unter den Wasserstrahl hält und wartet, ob und wann die erwartete Kälte eintreten mag. Kein Erfolg. Dann Silhouetten am Rande der Aufmerksamkeit. Küchentisch, Tasse, Teller, eine Orange. Radiostimme von nebenan. Der Morgen hinter den Fenstern heller als angenommen. Und noch sammelt sich die Welt. Habt es mild heute.
dann ist meien nachbarin eine Frühstarterin. Die hat heute schon um 4 draußen Eis gehackt die olle. Mit 75 Jahren früh um 4. Finde ich jetzt noch extremer als halb 5 Schnebaden
nein, leider nicht. Ich hätte gern noch die 40 min länger geschlafen Wenn die das um 6 macht, reicht das immer noch aber nicht früh vor 4 Uhr @z428eu@quietmoon.org

Just another picture of some snow, firs, frozen water and rolling hills....but, at last there is some blue sky, not the natural monochrome landscape we've had for weeks, and one finally sees, that the sun has made it over the hills way earlier than the last time you saw it. And you know, that it will get brighter for every day now. #365moments #Smartphonepic #Photography
Several hours later, just modestly content with todays achievements. There's that tendency of measuring and counting, sometimes things fall short despite of that, and there's that guilty gut feeling of muttering even while numbers and outcomes are mostly okay. Performance aspects, quality dimensions, milestones, pragmatic solutions. Unaffected by this kind of thoughts, neighbours are still taking care in redoing their living room. White paint, texture paper, strong shadows, monotonous operations. Different ways to let the evening pass. Sleep tight everyone wherever you are.
Some night and some of its twilight. Kind of. Music kept playing on and on. (And maybe that one musician to appear the most out here in my humble log.)

Remote sessions. Security boundaries and the challenges of controlling machines using voice input. The fallacies of ambiquity and non-formal languages. (Too: Watching the weather and its meandering between white and grey. 2pm, slow steps.)
Halb durch den Tag, unterwegs und doch unbewegt, Sinnieren über Geschwindigkeiten und Summen von Strecke im Parallelen. Reaktives Vorankommen. Manche Bälle fängt man, andere rollen gen Tor und verschwinden außerhalb der Sicht. Unten fährt der Nachbarshausmeister überquellende Papiertonnen gen Bordsteinrand, verliert einige Kartons, schimpft, verschwindet wieder kellerwärts. Graues Licht, kein Schnee, vorsichtige Sonne am Horizont.
Issues and flapping services and data gaps and uncertainties and colleagues calling in sick and another coffee and meetings that are scheduled and meetings that aren't. A close to three-digit number of mails in that particular mailbox again. 8am and on, fast and slow.
Und Wochenmorgen, schnell wie immer. Das Fenster blieb geöffnet, die Verbindung zwischen den verschiedenen Unruhen bestehen, ebenso der Duft nach Regen, Erde, Kohlenfeuer. Zusammensuchen, was die Stunde benötigt: Hausschuhe, Sehhilfe, ein paar neue Ideen, eine paar freundliche Gedanken. Ungekämmt, schlecht rasiert. Noch kein Kaffee am Rande der eigenen Untiefen. Habt es mild heute.
Concluding a silent day, images of ice and frost in mind and slightly shaky while emptying the cooled-down mug. Listening to the city that's struggling to stay awake, yet thoughts wandering off and senses giving up on processing this,nocturnal input. A sleepy cat, a tiny star, a quiet sigh and then there's to a new week. Soft dreams everyone wherever you are.
