Alt...

Screenshot shows on the Old Site, you select "Import and export" and then select "Data Export". Download the CSV files.

Alt...

Screenshot shows step 2, on the New Site, you select "Import and export" and you select "Import". From the drop down menu, you select the type of import you want to import. For example, followers. Select browse, find the CSV file you saved, and select upload. The screenshot notes you should wait until the import is finished before importing another CSV. The screenshot shows there is a status of "finished" when completed.

Alt...

Screenshot shows step 3 on the New Site. You want to select "account" and "account settings". You will see a part that reads "Moving from a different account. To move from another account to this one, first you need to create an account alias." The end of that sentence is the URL you want to click on.

Alt...

The screenshot shows step 4, on the New Site, you will enter your Old username, and then select "create alias". The screenshot notes that after creating a alias you want to wait 10 to 15 minutes for it to sync within the Fediverse before moving to the next step.

The screenshot shows step 5 on the Old Site. You want to select "Account" and "Account Settings". There is a part that reads "Move to a different account. If you wish to redirect this account to a different one, you can configure it here." The end of that sentence is the URL you want to click on.

This screenshot shows the last step, step 6. Here you will enter your New username, and your current password for your old account. Then you will select "move followers". The screenshot reads after this step you are all done.

Hey #FediDev community:

Activity Intents are now supported (or soon to be) by the biggest #Fediverse apps out there: WordPress, Mastodon, and Loops (plus a tiny ones, like Forte, streams, PieFed, and Emissary)

It's a fantastic step that brings the social web closer together 🍻

But there's more to do.

A whimsical, stylized painting of a black and white tuxedo cat lounging comfortably. The cat has bright green eyes, a pink nose, and a slight, contented smile. It is draped over a plush, vibrant pink surface that matches the soft pink background. The style is clean and bold with a playful, contemporary feel.

Just had a lovely chat with my long-time former neighbor when I owned a house in southern Colorado with my ex.

It was great to catch up with them and to have a friendly voice with history to connect with. They are going through a lot of really big stuff, but are trying their best to manage and survive in the face of adversity. I am humbled by their resilience. ❤️

My friend is the most Fediversian of all the people I know IRL. They would love it here if they had the capacity for it. They were my friend before I first found the Fediverse, and I think they helped shape me in being the person I want to be here by offering acceptance and kindness.

Your reader, your couch, your rules.

Starting today, both my-notes.dragas.net and it-notes.dragas.net are changing the way they distribute content - on RSS and on the Fediverse alike.

No more excerpts. No more "read more" links. Full posts, delivered directly to you, wherever you choose to read them.

Here's why:
I don't run ads. I don't have paywalls. I don't sell attention, or measure success in page views. I never have, and I have no intention of starting. My blogs exist because I enjoy writing, and because
some of what I write might be useful - or simply enjoyable - to someone else.
That's the whole business model. There isn't one.

When that's the case, there's no reason to keep content behind a click.
Sending you a teaser and asking you to visit my site would only make sense if I needed you *on my site* - for an impression, for a conversion, for something. I don't. So why would I make you leave your reader, your client, your comfortable corner of the internet, just to come to mine?

What I want instead is simple: that you can read what I write the way you'd read a book on a cold winter evening, wrapped in a warm blanket. Privately.
Quietly. On your own terms, in your own space, without anything tracking your eyes or nudging you toward something else.

Your RSS reader is yours. Your Fediverse instance is yours. The content should be yours too.

If you're on the Fediverse, you can follow both accounts directly:

- my-notes → @mynotes

- it-notes → @itnotes

These are low-traffic accounts. If you don't want them to get lost in your timeline, feel free to hit the notification bell. I promise it won't make much noise.

So from now on, it will be.

Jeder (Self-)Hoster kennt diesen Moment:
Update klicken, kurz die Luft anhalten und hoffen, dass nicht wieder PHP, Datenbank oder Desktop-Client beschließen, heute kreativ zu werden.
Nach Jahren mit Nextcloud habe ich 2026 für meinen eigenen Usecase die Reißleine gezogen. Nicht aus Dogmatismus. Sondern weil digitale Souveränität für mich am besten funktioniert, wenn Infrastruktur wieder ein bisschen langweilig wird.
Darum bin ich bei #OpenCloud gelandet.
Schlanker, fokussierter, weniger bewegliche Teile. Kein PHP. Keine Datenbank. Go-basiert, unter 200 MB RAM im Idle. Auf K3s mit ZFS-Snapshots dahinter läuft das sehr viel näher an „funktioniert“ als an „braucht Aufmerksamkeit“.
Und dahinter steckt das Team von #mailbox.org,  #Heinlein Support. Kein US-Risikokapital, kein Exit-Druck. Keine fragwürdige Eigentümerstruktur. Einfach Leute, die seit 30 Jahren für datenschutzkonforme Infrastruktur in Deutschland kämpfen. Das ist kein Zufall, das ist eine Entscheidung.
Der schönste Nebeneffekt:
OpenCloud wurde bei mir quasi nebenbei zur souveränen E-Book-Bibliothek. DRM-freie EPUBs auf dem Boox Go 7, ohne Amazon-Ökosystem, ohne Plattform-Lock-in, ohne das übliche „wir kennen deinen Geschmack besser als du selbst“.
Amazon weiß sehr genau, was du liest, wann du liest, wie schnell du liest und wo du aufgehört hast. Das ist keine Paranoia. Das steht in deren  AGB.
Genau da wird digitale Souveränität sehr konkret:
nicht als politische Folie, sondern als gelebter Alltag.
Eigene Dateien - eigene Infrastruktur - eigene Regeln - eigene Verantwortung.
Wie der Umzug lief, wo die kleinen HTTPS-/Traefik-Fallen lagen und warum weniger Komplexität manchmal der eigentliche Fortschritt ist:

Mir ist bewusst, dass es auf Mastodon sehr viel vor allem „progressive“ Hochmut gegenüber Süddeutschland und insbesondere Bayern gibt.

Gleichwohl muss ich doch als (nicht-bayerischer) Wissenschaftler klarstellen: #Bayern baut seit Jahren die erneuerbaren Friedens-, Wohlstands- und Heimatenergien massiv (!) aus, hat mehr Solarpaneele als Baden-Württemberg (Platz 2) und Nordrhein-Westfalen (Platz 3) zusammen!

Sogar der FW-Minister Aiwanger hat inzwischen kapiert, dass Landkreise wie Wunsiedel durch die Energiewende reicher werden!

Auch international ist #Solarboom in oft konservativem Umfeld, beispielsweise in #Pakistan. Erneuerbare #Wohlstandsenergien boomen, weil sie sich lohnen!

Die Solarpunk-Zukunft ist dezentral, also regional & föderal…

@ithoughtisawa2 @mathaetaes

When all communication breaks down and you reach a point where reaching out no longer has value, the goal becomes warning others.

So let me be blunt: I wanted him to be the last person to see this, in order to buy time.

As shown in the original post screenshot, I reached out and was consistently ignored. I even created a new account, and that was suppressed as well.

I’m also not the only person who has experienced this — so warning others was the point.

#InfoSec #Mastodon #Fediverse

@AmbianceAsunder @ithoughtisawa2 @mathaetaes

Sure, I can provide a screenshot from a direct message I sent 2 months ago.

But I would also like to provide a URL to his site showing how he suspends my account remotely. I have never been a member of his site, nor do I recall previously communicated with Jeffy before he took these actions.

As such, I doubt he he has any interest in even receiving my communication, or anyone else's for that matter.

Here is URL on how any account I have is displayed on Infosec.exchange

https://infosec.exchange/@Linux@mivatter.com

#InforSec #Mastodon #Fediverse

A screenshot that reads: @jerry@infosec.exchange If you could please explain why you keep hiding (suspending) my account remotely from your site, I would appreciate it. I have never joined infosec.exchange, and I do not recall ever communicating with you before, so I am confused by your actions.

22 people have come forward, so it isn't just me. But Jerry from Infosec doesn't want you know this.

So here is a screenshot of what is happening.

The problem is you may be missing people you follow or who wish to follow you, and you don't even know it because he's hiding it all from you.

#InfoSec #Fediverse #Mastodon

Alt...

I don’t know what @jerry has against me, but they always blacklist my account. I’ve asked about it and never received a reply. From what I understand, they do this to a number of other people — it’s not just me. The issue is that their 11,000+ users are unaware that their admin filters who they can and cannot follow. It would be one thing if they were filtering out hate speech, spam, and the usual nonsense. But people like me are pro-LGBTQ+, support trans rights and women’s rights, and are more progressive than Bernie Sanders. If @jerry simply didn’t like me personally, I could respect them blocking me themselves. But the fact that they make that decision for everyone means someone you follow can vanish without notice — and you’d be none the wiser.

People over at InfoSec really do have a censored viewpoint.

The hasthag "Mastodon" and "Fediverse" for example, need approval and has not been updated for 1, 2, and 5 days ago.

I feel sorry for everyone there, because Jerry is no better than Elon Musk. Everything is filtered and all 11,000+ users have no clue.

ZOMG! #E2EE news on the Fediverse keeps getting better

The @HolosSocial team is planning to implement the same encryption standard as Mastodon, Bonfire, and Emissary.

When it lands, truly private messages should interoperate between all four platforms. This is an _absolute_win_ for open platforms and open APIs.

Holos will update its E2EE model to align with the shared spec, shipped well before 2027 and landing in the Fediverse first. Mastodon will likely make its own choices later on, and Holos will adapt again to stay compatible. No problem.

The #BlueSkyOutage is why I still rely on and prefer Mastodon for my social media. I'm on Bluesky, but giving all control to one company is not what I want again. There is always a chance an instance goes down, but not the whole #Fediverse.

#bluesky

Servers on the Fediverse are totally independent of each other, with no centralised infrastructure at all. If one server goes down, other servers can keep going. The essence of the Fediverse is that it does not put all its eggs in one basket.

There are also many other advantages to decentralised networks:

➡️ https://fedi.tips/why-is-the-fediverse-on-so-many-separate-servers

It's also why many people have alternative accounts on different servers, so they will always be able to post:

Did quite some maintenance on burningboard.net Mastodon instance today ..

Updated servers and jails to FreeBSD 15.0-RELEASE-p5

1.
proxy_cache_path (S3 media cache) was already on a ZFS dataset with autosnapshot disabled .. But proxy_temp_path and client_body_temp_path (both nginx temp folders) weren't. Leading to extremely bloated daily ZFS snapshots for the Nginx jail. Changed those and cleaned old snapshots -> 31GB reclaimed space

2.
Cleaned up Database Snapshots and did a pg_repack on prod to reclaim deleted database pages -> 3GB reclaimed space

3.
Fixed issue with backend path over gif tunnel to Elasticsearch (6in6). Turned out to be a MSS issue (clamp-mss to 1140 on the tunnel iface solved it!)

4.
Fixed IPv6 routing issue for Prometheus Monitoring after reboot (rc.d static_routes != ipv6_static_routes)

All in all, our instance is in very good shape again :-)

I recently connected my single-user instance to just 3 new relays to improve federation. This is the infrastructure cost of that visibility.

In just 10 days, my S3 bucket for media storage jumped from roughly 50GB to almost 190GB. The total number of objects doubled, going from 280k to over 560k, and the curve is still going up.

It is fascinating to observe the physical weight of the Fediverse traffic translated into raw data. I will definitely need to configure a stricter media retention policy and tune it to keep this background process from eating my storage budget.

Two AWS CloudWatch line charts side by side, showing S3 bucket metrics from roughly April 5 to April 15. The left chart, "Total bucket size," shows a steady upward trend from roughly 50 GB to almost 190 GB. The right chart, "Total number of objects," shows the count growing from around 280,000 to over 560,000 objects in the same time period.

I always ask similar questions like the following,

What will you do when you discover that the kernel of your favorite Operating System now gets programming assistance in any form of a power guzzling ocean warming large language model?

Will will you fork the kernel yourself? Do you have the programming capability

There are a lot of folk who are pissed off at Linus Torvalds, for allowing some of his maintainers to use large language models to assist in finding bugs.

The Head Programmer of the fantastic and Beautiful curl also uses a large language model in some form, to hunt for bugs, because both he and Greg from the Linux kernel, saw that the LLM used on GitHub is now suddenly much better at finding those pesky bugs.

Mind you, the only LLM I like is the one that runs locally on my low powered Android phone. That's a micro LLM

Dass es den europäischen Regierungen und der EU bei den von ihnen vorangebrachten Alterskontrollen (= Identitätsdatenkontrollen) im Internet nicht um den Jugendschutz sondern um die Kontrolle von Informationszugängen und Kommunikationsräumen geht, zeigt sich gerade wieder beim Vorhaben Frankreichs, auch das dezentrale Fediverse/Mastodon als "Pornographieplattform" einzustufen um es entsprechenden Kontrollen unterwerfen zu können.

Mit dem Argument, dass diese oder jene Kanäle, Plattformen, Programme oder Angebote dafür genutzt werden könnten, neben anderem auch nicht jugendfreie Inhalte zu teilen, wird so ein Vorwand geschaffen, der die umfassende Kontrolle von alledem rechtfertigen soll.

Please feel invited to also follow me on #loops via @Awet where I post content early (and sometimes exclusively).

I am proud to announce that Loops has been selected to receive our 2nd NLnet grant (6th overall) for Live-streaming and other features!

Super stoked to have another year of funding to bring Loops even further 🚀

#Loops

By way of an overdue #introduction; I'm rather a simple soul, I mainly enjoy tinkering with #computers, strumming #guitars and a wee bit of #spaniel sitting. I'm now taking some tentative first steps into #gardening too, just to fall in with the #retired stereotype I suppose. I'm also reading the #internet and I'm currently about halfway through it. I detest #BigTech, the #algorithm, #AI and #SurveillanceCapitalism. I love the #Fediverse because it reminds me of the olde worlde internet. I try to post/boost a little bit of everything and anything, including #art, #science, #botany, #transport, #animals, #architecture and #humour, without getting too mired in #politics, although it's not easy to avoid politics when you care about #nature and the #environment. I'm happy to interact with everyone/anyone irrespective of creed, colour, nationality or gender/sexual preferences. In the nicest sense of the word, I really don't give a fuck what you are. I consider myself to be a floating voter of centre/left leaning persuasion. I support the notion of managed #degrowth and #social responsibility. I would rather discuss the common ground we share and aim to respect our differences. I try to avoid fuckwits wherever I encounter them. That'll do for now although I dare say I'll edit this over time. Thanks for reading and peace out☮️

Here's the #fediverse!
