The cat just shoved open the bathroom door, smacked me with it, then walked away

tip: due to the way Mastodon handles suspensions, if you're instance blocking a subdomain, you'll almost always want to block the main domain instead. So if you're suspending pl.example.com, edit the field to example.com instead

suspending example.com suspends all (future) subdomains too, getting rid of them all in one go

my adhd ass brain really wanted to get started on the activitypub search proxy (provide own-posts-only search without elasticsearch) but I really need to get FediFox in a usable state first smh

lool at me doing maintenance notices a *whole day* in advance. is the fediverse getting too professional??

.town planned maintenance for Thursday morning (sleep schedule pending),

Going to replace a disk for a new 1TB ssd, which will cause Matrix downtime (and some performance degradation while it mirrors over)

After which I will take down Mastodon (still on the old server) and migrate it over. Estimated downtime is 2+ hours because there's lots of media even after pruning. We'll also switch to glitch-soc so expect a bunch of cool new features!

also if you can tell i get very rambly from meds sometimes

combined with taking my methylphenidate on an empty stomach this was nooot fuuun

also very stressful morning because i had to take the bus (both of my bicycles are broken atm), and then the 2 different drivers each almost had an accident..
and then the last one ignored 2 whole stops even though i pressed the thing and then i had to walk all the way back when i finally asked him to stop, and was quite late for my appointment

aw.. the boinky spunge 😋 crinkly doo 🤗 the shronkle scrimblo 🙂

always interesting to see my personal blocks vindicated into an instance block

thinking about how the common icon for "image file" or "gallery" is some mountains

clearly someone came up with that before the modern internet, because otherwise it'd be a cat

Mastodon pessimism, GoToSocial 

The more I see of Masto development the more pessmistic I get about its future. This is why I am supporting GoToSocial development monthly, like we CANNOT hang the entire future of ActivityPub-driven microblogging on Mastodon, not after fucking exhausting years of Gargron's asshattery and his determination to make Mastodon into another popularity- and engagement-driven platform.

I’m already seeing devopsy type tech dudes posting about how to ‘scale mastodon’ and it’s depressing to say the least
