It's interesting to see a fediverse (that is, not The Fediverse, but a collection of AP nodes) built mostly by people who do not have intimate familiarity with AP and AP software.

Some things, like the speed with which the network has been built, are really heartening. Other things, like needing some centralized tools that aren't really possible on an open-world network like The Fediverse, make sense. And then there are the back-and-forth interactions about whether or not Mastodon has an undisclosed bug, or whether it's possible to do X or Y on GoToSocial, that wouldn't exist if either the documentation were better or there was more institutional knowledge involved in the Website League.

It's not a bad thing; it's an inherent part of new people, building something new. But as someone who has been around The Fediverse since before the inception of ActivityPub, it's very, very interesting.

service monitoring has its ups and downs

swear to god google drive if you're processing half a million items just to dump them in my main folder i'm going to mr google and eating him with a knife and fork

Heyyy setting up here. I'm pretty sure #heycohost is completely redundant here.

Gonna try and find as many people as I can here.

OH NO I HAVE MADE A MISTAKE AND MY CAPS LOCK IS STUCK ON. I DO NOT KNOW WHERE THE CAPS LOCK KEY IS ON MY GLOVE80 KEYBOARD BECAUSE I CONFIGURED IT TO BE HIDDEN IN A LAYER, BECAUSE I DO NOT USE CAPS LOCK USUALLY.

IN FACT I DO NOT USE CAPS LOCK USUALLY SO MUCH THAT I BOUND THE PHYSICAL CAPS LOCK KEY ON MY LAPTOP'S KEYBOARD TO INSTEAD FUNCTION AS AN ESC KEY. NORMALLY IT'S GREAT UNTIL SITUATIONS LIKE THIS HAPPEN

I WAS THINKING ABOUT REBOOTING ANYWAY BUT BEING UNABLE TO STOP SHOUTING HAS FORCED MY HAND

well, fortune decided to give me something very relevant to the current Situation

guy on the tram with an enormous longsword makes me realize that the urge to lunge for an officer's service weapon must have existed in the middle ages

okay, so. i’m not gonna click this, and i really don’t think anyone should go about banning their own accounts

but i really, really wonder what would happen if i did. would it say “c’mon, you can’t ban yourself”. or would it go “…well, you’re the boss, chief” and just do it. will it try to protect me or will it be like linux going “hm, you said you wanted to delete your entire root directory? and you’re sure? well, who am i to tell you no”

i might just try it on one of my test akkoma instances for shits and giggles

well, turns out that turning on the media proxy without setting a base URL causes a bunch of shit, including users and login, to break on akkoma-fe. don’t do that.

please enjoy: photos of my cat

her name is Rey which is short for Sweet Baby Ray’s BBQ Sauce

"i gotta get sleep before tomorrow becomes a problem" is a good line and i gotta hold on to it for more use.

anyways.
