Hello, Fediverse 👋

I'm Frost and relatively new to Mastodon. Interesting in connecting with and following more people of similar interests.

I self-host this small server, and am into tech, generally. I'll probably be posting about self-hosting (Mastodon & Sear), privacy under surveillance capitalism, FOSS, open hardware, tech law, and so on. Also into archivism, retro gaming, & hardware repair.

Techy-stuff aside, I'm also into wine, books, and philosophy.

The Garden Rooster II by Lisa S. Baker A beautifully painted rooster stands among soft florals and textured layers, blending expressive brushwork with a gentle, vintage-inspired palette. Rich tones of teal, blush, and warm neutrals bring depth and character to the piece, while the surrounding botanical elements add a sense of quiet charm. Elegant yet relaxed, this artwork offers a refined take on farmhouse style, perfect for adding warmth and personality to kitchen and home spaces.

From my experience, major banks and CC issuers in the US will initially charge in yen and convert to USD on your statement, based on the daily rate (see 1st screenshot).

Also some online Japanese merchants allow you to choose USD at checkout (2nd screenshot). In many cases your bank will offer slightly better rates, which can make a difference for larger purchases. Hope this helps.✌🏿

Allow your verdicts their own troubled development

Which like all progress must come from deep within and

Cannot be forced or accelerated.

Everything must be carried to term before its born. ()

Come to completion inside,

In the the dark, ()

Unattainable to one’s own intellect ()

To wait

With deep humility

And patience

For the hour

When a new clarity

Is

Delivered ()

These things cannot be measured by time

A year has no meaning, and ten years are nothing. ()

Like a tree which does not hurry the flow of its sap

And stands at ease in the spring gales

Without fearing that no summer will follow.

It will come. ()

To those ()

Patient ()

Simply there in their vast,

Quiet tranquility

As if eternity lay before them.

It is lesson I learn every day amid hardships I am grateful for:

Patience is all

Read as little as possible in the way of esthetics and criticism -

It will either be partisan views,

Fossilized and made meaningless in its lifeless rigidity,

Or it will be neat wordplay

And the opposite the next.

The more one reads it, it seems to contain everything,

From life’s faintest scent to the full, grand savour of its heaviest fruits.

There is nothing in it that has not been understood, grasped, lived, and known in memory’s trembling, lingering resonance;

No experience too slight, and the merest occurence unfolds a fate ()

A wonderful, vast fabric

In which every thread is drawn ()

And laid next to another, held in place by a hundred others.

Algorithms are the new gatekeepers of public discourse. In 2026, their control over free speech is nearly absolute.

Facebook, X, YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, LinkedIn, Reddit, and Telegram each use opaque machine learning systems that suppress critical thinking. They prioritize divisive content over nuance, shadow-ban alternative viewpoints, and create filter bubbles that reinforce existing beliefs.

We are building a different path at social.vir.group. Your feed is chronological. Your voice is not suppressed. Moderation is transparent.

„Ist wedium mit dem Fediverse verbunden? Nein, wir haben uns bewusst gegen eine Open-Source-Lösung entschieden, spätestens nachdem Trump den Code von Mastodon für sein Truth Social verwendet hat. Dazu ist das Fediverse ohne Möglichkeit der Monetarisierung. Niemand kann dort Geld verdienen und dadurch ist es für Medien, für Marken und für Creator nicht interessant. Deshalb kann es nicht skalieren. Wir wollen eine Plattform bauen, die den großen Tech-Firmen Paroli bieten kann – und das geht nur, wenn wir die Plattform für viele Akteur*innen attraktiv machen.“

A quick note on Nolto.
On 15 March 2026 its creator Jonathan Tensetti intentionally closed the service and deleted his Fediverse account.
What he built - Europe’s second decentralised LinkedIn alternative on ActivityPub - was gloriously vibecoded but effective. It showed, with hard data and testimonials, that the demand for a sovereignty-respecting professional platform is real.
I had been working in parallel: detailed research on technical choices, product mechanics, business-model viability under distributed/FOSS conditions, and how to test everything in practice for such a product. Nothing yolo — but nothing yet proven in production either. Jonathan precluded me by just yolo'ing the Nolto MVP. Thanks for that.
To move from proven demand to a solid, maintainable product I need proper capital, runway and possibly 1-2 additional people.
I'm looking for European-aligned funding - preferably from Germany, Poland or Denmark - networks that value independence and data protection without the usual bureaucratic overhead.
If you know the right people in those circles, please connect me with them before the current momentum fades.
Serious replies and boosts appreciated.

Push Notifications and MastoBlaster

MastoBlaster, like other Fediverse apps, uses a design that maximizes user privacy.

When you log in to your instance, the app and the server exchange the necessary cryptographic keys. The app also communicates to the instance the address of the relay, which is the server responsible for forwarding notifications to Apple.

When a new notification is generated:

1. Your instance encrypts the notification.
2. It sends the encrypted payload to the relay.
3. The relay forwards it to Apple using its own authentication key.
4. Apple delivers it to your device.

The content of the notification is encrypted by your Fediverse server and can only be decrypted by your device.

The relay, which in the case of MastoBlaster is dedicated and hosted on a FreeBSD server, receives only encrypted data. It cannot read the content, does not know which account the notification belongs to, and does not store any information about the notification itself.

Apple knows which relay sent the notification and which device it must be delivered to, but it cannot access the content.

In short, only your instance and your device can read the notification.

The Painted Goose by Lisa S. Baker Graceful and poised, a stylized goose stands adorned in flowing floral motifs and intricate patterns, blending elegance with a touch of whimsy. Soft pastels and warm metallic tones drift across a textured, layered background, giving the piece a sense of movement and artistic depth. Both bold and delicate, this design captures a quiet confidence-where nature meets ornament in a beautifully balanced composition.

Accept this answer as it is, without seeking to interpret it.

Perhaps it will turn out that you are called to be a ()

Assume this fate and bear it, its burden and its greatness, without ever asking after the rewards that may come from outside. For (s, p01) he who creates must be a world of its own and find everything with him (her, p01) self and in the natural world that (s, p01) he has elected to follow.

But perhaps even after this descent into your solitariness you will () give up the idea of becoming a ()

But even then, to have taken pause in the way I am asking you will not have been in vain. Whatever happens, your life will find its own paths from that point on,

and they may be good, productive, and far reaching is something

I wish for you more than I can say.

#InstanceAnnouncement Coordinated Potential Bot Network Suspended

We have detected and suspended 5 coordinated bot accounts today.

Indicators of Compromise:

• Content consists of semantically incoherent English text generated by LLM — no direct harm observed, but likely used for account seasoning and filter evasion
• All 5 accounts registered between 2026-03-18 17:52 and 2026-03-19 23:50
• Profiles contain a single English sentence + emoji, or several meaningless English phrases
• All connection IPs belong to Cloudflare proxy ranges
• Registrant domains include disposable email services and high-risk domains

Actions Taken:
Accounts suspended (all IPs verified as Cloudflare IPs — no user privacy has been compromised):
@iwutyp 162.159.XXX.XX
@PhyllisReynolds 172.70.XXX.XXX
@ezob 104.23.XXX.XX
@uhux_xudym 104.23.XXX.XX
@Ethel_Robinson 172.68.XXX.XXX

Email domains blocked:
tmail.lt, maxseeding.vn, dqsbf.blema.io.vn, sphinx.launders.money, kimora.space

Notes:
Registration had previously been set to open in order to simplify the sign-up process. We are now enabling "Require approval" + "Require a reason to join".
If you spot accounts with similar characteristics, or matching email domains/IPs, please report them.
This instance does not welcome malicious or unmoderated bots.

As intimidating as the whole #Mastodon and #Fediverse may seem to new users, myself included, actually more connected with more flexibility than most people think

I’m able to connect with Pixelfed users via my Flipboard account unlike back when I had to be on #Instagram to see the posts

Once people understand that one doesn’t have to be as technical savvy as I once believed, Fediverse would grow exponentially!

A curated list of #fediverse software that offer decentralized social networking services based on the @w3c #ActivityPub family of related protocols: https://delightful.coding.social/delightful-fediverse-experience/

Hi #fediverse. We need to talk about something.

While talking to a colleague about how I recently learned most people have never sat on a goat it came up that they have never been sat on by a goth. Like, not even once during childhood.

Another colleague admitted they also have never been sat on by a goth.

Which differs from my lived experience.

My hypothesis is that most people have at one point in their life been sat on by a goth.

🐈️🐈‍⬛🐱

Have you ever been sat on by a goth?

Please boost for scientific accuracy.

Gerade wieder gesehen.
Meinung, hier im Fediverse, passt nicht zu der Meinen? -> "DU KOMMST AUF DIE BOCKLISTE!".

Ja, die Meinung war durchaus kontrovers, aber gut begründet. Es gab keine Beleidigung, es war schlicht eine begründete, insofern nachvollziehbare Gegenmeinung.
Ich fand sie übrigens auch nicht richtig, aber das ist nicht der Punkt. Der Punkt ist:

So wird das nichts mit der #Diskussionskultur hier im #Fediverse, finde ich.

Es gibt gute Gründe für eine Blocking. Mobbing, Stalking, Beleidigung, haltlose Verschwörungstheorien, Schwurbelei, Witze auf Kosten anderer, Nazitalk, Sexismus etc.

Der oben genannte Fall ist es m.E. nicht. Andere Meinungen muss man akzeptieren können, auch respektieren, sonst kann man sie nicht in Frage stellen. Und wir sind hier alle Menschen. Nicht perfekt. Wir machen Fehler. So what.

Sonst sind hier nur Bubbles unterwegs, die sich gegenseitig ausschließen. Ein Krieg des gegenseitigen Blockens. Ich will das nicht.

@Paulatics I’m using an instance I created myself, developed in pure PHP on a shared host.

Pros:
- It allows you to gain a deep understanding of how the #Fediverse works and just how fascinating this concept is.
- Complete sovereignty and control over your identity and data.
- No issues with moderators.

Cons:
- Because it is a personal and very small instance, synchronization with the entire Fediverse is imperfect and partial, meaning there is “thread fragmentation”.

@liaizon It’s a piece of software I’m developing in my spare time as a hobby. It’s just pure PHP with SQLite running on a simple shared hosting server. Everything is up and running: #ActivityPub, the #Mastodon API, which allows it to work properly with clients like @ivory . The only thing missing is polls. When I have more free time, I’ll focus on that…
