All you #Mastodon sysadmins who upgraded to Mastodon 4.3.0: Have you noticed that after you dutifully upgraded the #Yarn dependency to version 4, a message like this scrolled by:
$ yarn install --immutable
➤ YN0065: Yarn will periodically gather anonymous telemetry: https://yarnpkg.com/advanced/telemetry
➤ YN0065: Run yarn config set --home enableTelemetry 0 to disable
I for one almost missed this. You may want to do what I did (as user mastodon in /home/mastodon/live):
yarn config set --home enableTelemetry 0
I'm sure the Yarn people think their telemetry is perfectly harmless, but I hope we all agree that telemetry should not be used in the fediverse.
@chpietsch Don’t worry, Yarn is by Facebook. And Facebook is part of the Social Web Foundation with Mastodon. So how bad can they be?
@thisismissem @chpietsch Good to know, thanks.
@aral @chpietsch Thanks Christian, we deactivated yarn telemetry for all toot.io customer instances.
➤ YN0000: Successfully set enableTelemetry to false
@jan @chpietsch Thanks, Jan, appreciate it :)
