Voor een dagbestedingsproject (voor cliënten in herstelfase, na ernstige psychiatrische problematiek) zoek ik oude computers, randapparatuur en losse onderdelen.

Regio Arnhem/Wageningen.

Ik kan spullen ophalen, als de afstand niet te groot is.

So I've known that #masto instances can shut down but I found one (that I was considering joining) in the middle of that process: cybre.space, a #cyberpunk #retrofuturist #glitchpunk instance.

The admin's decision to close up shop with an 'end-of-life' plan is written out here: cybre.space/~chr/cybre-space-e

Sad but valuable info, just to know how these things go down and what they look like here on #mastodon

1st day on Mastodon: hi everyone, I'm interested in art, architecture, and cat pics!! 😊

3rd day on Mastodon: gonna find bigfoot and fuck him

The internet archive did a foundation/corporation/brand/etc landing on the fediverse right.

They set up their own instance right from the moment they decided they wanted to do it. Their employees are on it and when they post therein they are speaking officially.

Anyone who doesn't want it can zorch the entire instance. Done. Clean. They're not using community resources on an instance some individual is running off donations.

I think about this a lot because fedi does have A Way of getting people to embrace Goblin Mode and it's grand, people being weird internet gremlins is what makes this place fun

during one of the earlier waves of migration someone who had recently signed up posted something along the lines of "when you first arrive it's all very confusing and offputting but by the end of the day you're banging your fists on the table shouting TRAIN FUCKERS TRAIN FUCKERS TRAIN FUCKERS"

Are you new here? New being defined as shorter than 2 months. Today is Nov 6.
I am interested to see how far the fedi reaches.

Please boost. #askfedi #new #poll #toot

Tijd voor een paddenstoel!
Dit is de grijze slanke amaniet. Zoals je kan zien een verwant van de vliegenzwam, te zien aan de dikke witte stippen.

Van het zelfde materiaal is de volva die de paddenstoel aan de voet omringt.

What would the Internet be if it hadn't been privatised? Probably a lot more peer-to-peer.

mastodon is a consensual hallucination that converts json to shitposts and that’s really all you need to know about it.

looking at a flamegraph in despair, realizing there's nothing major I can actually change, off the top of my head, but also realizing the cost of certain stuff.

33% of application time is spent _just_ on serde_json::de.

10% on alloc::sync::Arc<T>::drop_slow for a single type of thing.

And a whopping 42.47% on tokio::runtime::task::raw::pol<tokio::runtime::blocking::task::BlockingTask>, which makes me wonder if I'm just misunderstanding something, or whether Tokio just has a *ton* of overhead.

I don't really know where to go from here. I can't really make anything faster than serde, and trying to shove those serde_json::de into the blocking task pool didn't change anything, so I assume it's already being done async enough.

I don't really know what the deal is with that Arc::drop_slow, but that's only 10% and I'm hoping to get *at least* a nice solid 30% improvement before I feel like I'm doing something worthwhile.

Anyone know Tokio enough to understand a flamegraph for something that uses it?

"believe victims" 

Seeing people talking about "believe victims don't go looking for evidence before blocking".

This is an easily weaponised policy unfortunately and it is frequently unclear who is a victim.

Believing victims is important. When someone says they've been hurt, believe them.

Buy when implementing harm reduction, the rule should be:

TRUST, BUT VERIFY.

So I was checking my logs and people report me to me all the time, but I got a report from mas.to, who has defederated with me, which is fine, but what was said got my attention.

They called me racist and said I didn't use content warnings for my content, which we've discussed at length this week, and how entitled it is. We all know that's just white people shit.

But they say I attack people. This is a bald-faced lie. If you look at every single one of my contentious moments with other users on here, they
come at me. I don't attack people. I defend myself. 100% of the time. I do not go after people. That's not my thing, and I have zero interest in the lives of bigots and people who just don't like me for whatever reason.

Earlier in the week, I talked about how much understanding there is for bigotry and hate on the fedi but that isn't extended to it's targets.

The situation is with mas.to is a perfect example of this.

I would urge caution for anyone who interacts with that instance as they've shown a tolerance for bigotry but none for people who are harassed and targeted by it.

We need another sex positive, sex worker instance on the fedi.

We don't have enough smut. Smut levels are far too low.

I, in the nicest possible way, do not care if people like/prefer/need dark mode. Or light mode! It's a real "difference of opinion" situation; your choice doesn't affect anyone else so do what you like!

I just think both should be options, both should be treated as equally important in development, and no one should be mean to the individual people using the other.

It's just weird that the failures to do this, that I see anyway, all seem to be on one side of this dark/light binary.
