Another very different part of the #fediverse that you can follow from #Mastodon is #flipboard. However, you can't follow topics/hashtags, only accounts, so if you really want to see EVERYTHING that the #AssociatedPress / #AP puts out, for example, you can follow @AssociatedPress, but that might be a bit much if you're just interested in something like #USpolitics / #USpol.

The #illumosCafe #Mastodon instance has been upgraded to v4.5.5

#illumosCafeUpdates #illumosCafeAnnouncements

I created a "Shared Cost-Optimized" server on @hetzner (from € 3.49) with #debian13 and installed Proxmox Backup Server on it.

I also have an object storage for this #Mastodon instance. And the instance media files take only 143 GB from 1 TB for now. So why not store #Proxmox backups there as well? In a separate bucket, of course.

Not the fastest PBS I ever had, but acceptable.

Cost-optimized offsite backups - ✅ Done.

I’m a little excited that my automation with #n8n kicked this build of by sending a WOL signal to my Jenkins machine which is now building my modified docker image for my #Mastodon instances. Once this is finished, Watchtower will automagically update the instances within the next few hours. This is Nerdporn :D

Letzte Woche hat sich eine Landeshauptstadt von Mastodon verabschiedet. Der Grund? Man wollte sich auf Plattformen mit mehr Follower:innen und Likes konzentrieren.

Das nehmen wir zum Anlass, hier einmal unseren wunderbaren Präsident:innen und Direktor:innen unserer #Gerichte in #SchleswigHolstein zu danken!

Back in 1993, I went to get another degree to just to get internet access, which was one of the few ways to get it back then. We had VAX and Unix, both fine platforms, hundreds of students would log in to one CPU from a terminal on campus or the house. We were connected to the world and communications were fast. I remember that's when the entire continent of Australia was connected by a pair of 2MB cables at the time. We had many distributed servers for news, email, IRC, gopher, etc, but it was lightning fast. Engineers at companies put tech documents on ftp servers. The internet was a big world library and the world was free. #JavaScript wasn't invented yet to slow us down or bury us in popups and advertisements. The entire internet was ad-free and advertising was a ban offense.

Then one morning I remember what would be known as #EternalSeptember, thanks to #AOL. And the #CanterSiegel spam happened. And the real cranks invaded. Many of us banned every .com address to regain sanity. This is when investors invaded the internet to hype it up into television quality. At least we still have #Wikipedia, #InternetArchive, and #Mastodon. Watching #Bluesky open up the floodgates to fascists was obvious to those of us who remember the past.

So it's the end of my 2nd week on #Mastodon and I'm still having a blast. Thank you all for making me feel so welcome in this strange new #fediverse

I've encountered a lot of very groovy people here. Some of them don't like mushy peas - but I'm trying not to hold it against them. I hope to meet more groovy people in the future

At the end of my first week, I shared a picture one of my #cats sleeping. So this time, here's a picture of my other #cat sleeping, so that they know I love them equally

Are you following an account that does good posts, but you don't want to see their boosts of other people's posts?

You can mute just an account's boosts without muting its own posts by doing the following:

1. Go to the profile of the person whose boosts you want to hide
2. Click on the ⋯ button on their profile
3. Select "Hide boosts"

(New people: "Boosts" are the name for shared posts on here. They mean the same as re-tweets or re-blogs.)

#FediTips #Mastodon

Last night I dreamed that I moved into a neighbourhood filled with people from Mastodon.

One of the neighbour’s dogs decided to go from house to house to greet everyone.

I did not recognize the dog and was contemplating checking # DogsOfMastodon to see if he or she had been posted there when I woke up.

(I unfortunately don’t remember what the dog looked like, so you can assume it was your dog if you wish to. 🐶)

#Dream #Mastodon

You can make your posts more accessible and inclusive by putting hashtags at the end.

When you place hashtags after the main text of a post, screen‑reader users can hear the core message first without interruption. This simple adjustment ensures that blind and visually‑impaired persons receive the essential information clearly and promptly.

Beyond accessibility, this small practice reflects a genuine commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion.

It's always good to think how the digital content is experienced by everyone, so we can create a more welcoming and inclusive digital space.

As inclusion is an important aspect of communication and communities, let's remember about it. Small thing to do, but improves experience of so many people.

A year ago, I published my opinion on why Europe needs to have its own social media platforms and build strong digital ecosystem.

With recent issues such as Trump's demands to annex Greenland, X's growing role in disinformation campaigns and targeting Europeans with shadow bans, it is necessary to remind that the European Union, without its own social media platforms and the whole digital ecosystem, cannot be fully sovereign.

For Europe, it is not too late to build its own digital ecosystem, spanning from social media networks to AI, storage and productivity software. In fact, it is something that has to be done and there are many European companies, NGOs and communities working to make it happen.

Year after, my strong recommendation for every European organization, company and public institution is to embrace European-made solutions. If we take a look at solutions made in Europe, we can see that Europeans are leading the world in terms of building federated networks, secure, encrypted and privacy-oriented solutions for consumers, businesses and governments.

Europe don't need to build it from scratch as there are solutions developed here, in Europe. What Europe needs is to embrace them at all levels: from governments to households. https://mediascope.group/europe-needs-its-own-social-media-platforms-to-safeguard-sovereignty/

Following people here isn't the same as on other social media platforms. It's not the hype "the more followers, the higher the popularity". Nope, mastodon is different.

Following, over here, and "liking", too, is about to be serious interested, to show serious affection, and to take care.

That's what I've learned in a few days.

And I love it.

Maybe there are exceptions, but I haven't found any.*👇

In light of Bluesky’s myriad concerning decisions, I’m finding myself spending increasing amounts of time on Mastodon. I wonder if others feel the same.

Similarly, I’m enjoying the discovery of new voices, and feel my interest in those pledging continued loyalty to Meta and/or Musk is beginning to feel strained. Which I also feel might not be so uncommon.

Fair shout from @steg I forgot to say what I replace all this with:

I forgot to mention as well that I replaced Edge browser (at work) with #vivaldi browser. Never looked back 🙃

- Amazon: this one is complicated, but I simply made a step back and realized that I am not supporting local businesses. I will now try to purchase local first, and if that is not possible, I will be looking for the stuff I want on the net via #ecosia (search engine, which I forgot to mention that I replaced google with), so that I purchase directly from small business (if possible)
- this one is simple, I revered curse and started purchasing blue rays again (movies), mp3 for music (no subscription)
- digital cloud and AWS where problematic, you get addicted to the ease of clouds: replacement’s: I de-centralized 1. #infomaniak_com (domain registrations) 2. #MythicalBeasts (cloud servers) from the UK 3. #BunnyVPN (this one is still in progress, but this will fully replace CloudFlare CDN)
- social media has been completely replaces with #mastodon
- MS Office on my private machines has been replaced with two packages: 1. #protonmail (email, calendar, and cloud drive) 2. #libreoffice for documents

This was not easy, but baby steps and we can get there!

Hope this helps whom ever wants to join the move #boycottusa

Question for my fellow #Fediverse #Tech enthusiasts:

Imagine your friend is on the fence about joining #Mastodon, and they ask:

"What is an instance, anyways?"

What is your go-to answer?

The email provider comparison is common, but maybe over-used, or too technical?

What other metaphors/explanations do you have up your sleeves?

Überlege im #Fediverse hauptsächlich auf #Friendica zu wechseln.
Die Steurerung der Sichtbarkeit über Accountkreise gefällt mir gut. So können verschiedene Posts verschiedenen Personengruppen sichtbar sein. Es ist auch sowohl von #Pixelfed als auch von #Mastodon gut folgbar.

Spricht da wohl was gegen, was mir gerade nicht auffällt?

@MDT @NYYANKEES Si te soy sincero, la mayoría dice que son anticapitalistas, eviten la suspensión 🤷‍♂️. Reglas tontas: no criticar líderes de izquierda 🙅‍♂️, suspender por cuestionar políticas 🤔, permitir violencia contra derechas pero no izquierdas 🚫. Prohíben términos "de derecha" 📚 y suspenden por no seguir la narrativa 📰. Te digo que hay muchas instancias en las que las reglas dan risa 😂. Es como si quisieran imponer su ideología 💪. #Mastodon #Izquierda #Censura #Hipocresía #libertad #today #hoy

#SarlaccPit is a word #game similar to the classic #Hangman & also inspired by #HangTrek as played here on #Mastodon. One user hosts by choosing a word or phrase from #StarWars & then runs polls with choices of letters. The winner of each poll is used as a collective guess from those playing. The results are revealed & then a new poll is run until someone guesses the result.

Suppose the host chooses “The Force” as the answer to the puzzle. The puzzle would initially start as:

_ _ _ / _ _ _ _ _

Choices might be:

A as in Alderaan
E as in Endor
O as in Onderon
U as in Utapau

If E wins the poll, the result would be:

_ _ E / _ _ _ _ E

Then a new poll would run. This repeats until someone guesses. Then that person runs the next puzzle.

I've been wondering about Bluesky's decentralization again. I can't think of any reason why I'd want to self-host Bluesky in its current form. I cannot 100% self host "my own Bluesky".

Their main selling points for building their own protocol were easier migration and better discoverability, but right now there's no simple way to migrate my Bluesky account to my own instance. And hosting the centralized parts yourself isn't really possible, or if it were, not affordable, they haven't made that feasible, by design, it seems.

Even if you self-host a PDS, Bluesky's Relay only indexes up to 10 accounts from it. You can run more, but they won't federate, the central infrastructure decides what gets seen. They control this (source: https://docs.bsky.app/blog/self-host-federation#:~:text=For%20a%20smooth%20transition%20into,for%20everyone%20in%20the%20ecosystem.). You can self-host a PDS (Personal Data Server), but you still depend on Bluesky's centralized Relay and AppView. There's no production-ready alternative infrastructure from what I gather.

It feels like I'd be renting a room in a hotel that someone else is running anyway, when I want my own hotel.

If Mastodon gGmbH vanishes tomorrow, my instance keeps running and federating with everyone else. If Bluesky PBC vanishes, the ecosystem would need to scramble to stand up replacement infrastructure that doesn't really exist yet.

ATProto keeps getting evaluated on its promises while other systems get evaluated on their merits. The "portability" selling point depends on infrastructure that isn't mature enough to actually catch you if Bluesky falls.

I trust W3C, the builders and fathers of the World Wide Web, ActivityPub and the Fediverse.

• Feed gerado pelo @podtest@snac.daltux.net é apenas texto.
• Feed do @podtest@organica.social entrega o áudio, que e conseguem tocar, mas, aparentemente, o formato ainda não é totalmente conforme: Podcast Index sequer reconhece o conteúdo.
• Podcast Feed do canal @podtest@fediverse.tv é devidamente reconhecido em todos os testes. Inclusive, perfeitamente incluído no Podcast Index. O problema é que, embora o episódio tenha sido criado com base no envio de um arquivo áudio (Ogg/Opus), o PeerTube fez, obrigatoriamente, sua conversão para vídeo. Torna-se videocast, então. É possível usá-lo assim mesmo, porém não fica exatamente como alguém esperaria um podcast de áudio.
• Feed da comunidade @podtest@forum.ayom.media é reconhecido por agregadores. O grande porém é que o Lemmy não permite envio de arquivo de áudio, apenas imagem. Fiz o teste simplesmente inserindo a URL do áudio que eu já tinha enviado para outro servidor, com o discurso completo da Promulgação da Constituição por Ulysses Guimarães. Funcionou assim, mas fica inviável.

De imediato, ainda pode ser menos frustrante hospedar podcast em um sistema já preparado para isso, como 🐳 Funkwhale ou CastoPod.

Running Mastodon on FreeBSD? Stop using wrapper scripts that break service status.

I've refactored the init scripts for Sidekiq, Puma, and Streaming to be fully production-grade:

- Clean privilege dropping (no su wrappers)
- Native signal handling for log rotation
- Correct PID tracking & status reporting.

I published the scripts and the reasoning behind them in my Codeberg gists:
