@ayo doing exercise has proven to be so beneficial for the mind. It's not all about being just physically healthy.
You're not alone and we all need the exercise to stay sane.

🇯🇵 Gyoza resturant, Tokyo, Japan (2014)
I visited this same place in 2023 and even though it still stands it seemed to had lost something. I can't put my finger on what. Maybe the gyoza didn't taste as good.

@mroach it definitely looks like a saucer. Doesn't hold much indeed. It's very strange. Wine tastes better in a thin glass 🤷♂️
@juergenlibertus love these!

Found this weekend in Ourense, Spain. Apparently it's a thing around here.
Might look simple but in north west side of Spain the raw materials are very good. Specially meat 💯
This is pork.

📚 Know Thy Enemy (Grimm’s War, #5)
⭐⭐⭐⭐
I found myself reading extra fast (even jumping paragraphs) in some chapters wanting to know what would happen next.
I'm unsure if that's an indication that the book is too slow, or too good at building up?
Homemade pizza yesterday, looks good but the dough was a bit undercooked 😢
Not easy 🧑🍳
I should have precooked the dough alone a bit and then add the toppings in a second oven round.

@akash Thanks! I'm more interested in Pixelfed accounts that only post photos though
Every. Single. Time I buy something online that's not shipped by Amazon I get such a bad delivery experience 👎
❌ Fake estimates on delivery times
❌ They some times don't tell you the day. Just "we're out for delivery".
❌ Poor tracking experience when out on delivery (Amazon gives you a real time map!)
❌ Delivering to a pick up location often times is not possible unless there's a failed attempt at your home.
Found this at my parent's. Bandage with special ointment from Korea. Not sure when I brought this 🤔 nor if the ointment worked when I got it

@michael Indeed that's what everybody told me so far. One Redis per application.
📸 Talking about #photography and Pixelfed...
Any #StreetPhotography accounts out there to follow on the Fediverse ❓
Hit me with your best recommendations! 🤩
@jdw Interesting, do you recall having to run 2 Redis instances?
Is your Mastodon installed with Docker or building from source?
@ayo It just sysops issue, not the software I think. I'm not that proficient when it comes to server administration.
I think if you have 2 separate machines or docker, it works on the first try.
I was excited but I think it's just easier if I stick to my single-user Mastodon instance.
Posted some more info here: https://ricard.social/@ricard/113832229582725782
@dansup It's a very nice work, Daniel.
Maybe it's just not for me (as I intended to hace a single-user instance, just as I have my Mastodon instance)
Keep up the good job!
@dansup Thanks for reaching out.
Here's my setup and the issues I had:
- I had installed Pixelfed in the same Ubuntu system as I have Mastodon (both from source, no docker)
- I used 2 different domains
- It seems Redis had conflicts (it wiped feeds from Mastodon lists randomly), users suggested having 2 instances for Redis.
- I wasn't able to follow my account from Mastodon. I found it in Mastodon but I got no updates when posting on Pixelfed. Horizon dashboard showed all success, no failure.
I have given up on self-hosting #Pixelfed ❌
I will share photos here with this Mastodon account. Easier, done ✅

@Tealk Thanks, Tealk.
I've given up on Pixelfed and will use Mastodon to simply share photos rather than have the 2 systems.
@andrew Thanks. It's 2 different domains.
I shall try 2 redis instances.
@spla Sweet! I shall try.
@spla How did you configure or setup 2 redis instances? Any documentation?
Thank you
@mehdi_benadel Thanks. Definitely different domains.
Unsure about this Redis ports and addresses, will investigate.
@Tak Thanks, will check it out!
I have turned off #Pixelfed Horizon service until I figure this out. Maybe I don't really need Pixelfed and just use Mastodon to share photos 🤷
---
I have executed "feeds build" for #Mastodon and some lists are still empty of posts 🤔
Thoughts #MastoAdmin ?
@jorijn Thanks. Everybody seems to think it goes into this direction.
Can't find anything on the docs nor the repo issues https://github.com/pixelfed/pixelfed/issues
@michael Long time no read, Michael!
Indeed looks deprecated now 🤔
https://docs.joinmastodon.org/admin/config/#redis_namespace
Don't even know how 2 redis servers would work. Can it be done in the same Ubuntu installation?
@uastronomer @risottobias Ah wait...
"This option is deprecated. Sidekiq 7 removes support for namespaces, and so will a future version of Mastodon. We will attempt to document a clear migration path by the time that happens. If you are setting up a new instance, using this option is highly discouraged."
@mehdi_benadel Mastodon in on Postgress, Pixelfed is on MySQL
No docker, source install for both.
@uastronomer @risottobias Great idea, I didn't know about REDIS_NAMESPACE for Mastodon.
I guess it can't hurt to simply change it and restart the services?
Unsure how Pixelfed handles Redis.
@steffo Thanks anyway
@steffo Just, the same ubuntu server. Different domains
@risottobias I'm trying to search for users from the Pixelfed interface but can't find any.
I understand the format is ATusernameATdomain just like you would do on Mastodon?
@timeslip1974 Can't even seem to find users using the search in Pixelfed 🤔
@risottobias It's different domains, different well-known as served from different places by NGINX.
I'm not a Redis expert, I just threw the keyword out there. Not sure what to test, look at.
Can you have a #Pixelfed and #Mastodon in the same server?
I'm seeing very weird things.
1. Some Mastodon lists have 0 posts right now, refreshed and gone.
2. Following a Pixelfed user from Mastodon seems to have no effect.
All systems in Pixelfed and Mastodon seem up.
Could there be a conflict with #Redis or similar?

@scribbbleanime The motivation I needed 😁
Thinking about self-hosting a private instance of https://pixelfed.org for myself :blobcatthinking: 📸
I would love to ditch instagram entirely, but I do have friends and family there I like to keep in touch with 😔
@kev It is ridiculous, they are so afraid to let a user click a link and move away from the app. It's nonsense.
If only more of my friends and family would be on the Fediverse :blobcat_sadlife:

@myska I can't wait. Just this week watching the Korean drama I shared some scenes lack subtitles. This would have been indeed convenient.

@scribbbleanime This is a complicated one! No bad main lead character comes to mind and I haven't watched the one in your blog post 🤔
@scribbbleanime tough one...
First thing that comes to mind is Sword Art Online. Maybe? Quite strong love right there.

In a few weeks I'm going to South Korea 🇰🇷 for vacation, so I'm focusing my entertainment time with Korean Dramas to get more vocabulary and listening 🙊
However, I do want to see the new anime coming out like #SoloLeveling 😂 I fear if I keep watching anime my brain will not be able to handle this and I'll be speaking Japanese in Korea 🇯🇵
Maybe I can just get an exception for Solo Leveling? 🙏
@scribbbleanime It's like 6 seasons but it was one of the first baseball anime I watched, very good

The accent is tough, subtitles are need 😁
Is this sci-fi? Just watched the first one and I'm not sure where this is going. End of the world type of this? Aliens?
@ayo I can't get used to Discord. It feels like a bad Slack clone.

It's amazing. You can let the robot take the call for you and give you a transcript/recording later.
You can see the transcript real-time and allows you to command the robot to answer in different ways.

I guess all the communication with the gas company, or whatever, happens via email. So it's all either a scam or trying to sell you stuff.

The animation is very basic but the dialog so far is very meta, I like it. I feel somewhat identified with the main character, who accepts the challenge of being dropped in an isekai but wants to enjoy it alone 😂

@null Wondering if there's a technical solution that could reduce costs.
I hope they don't turn it into a pay to use service eventually.

There was way too much politics in this one. Many new characters to keep track and complicated backstories, with a double-crossing and family drama.

@vegos_f06 I think it is that simple, if they wanted to.

Started this one yesterday and liked it very much. Not what I was expecting from a sports anime.
It's animated by MAPPA and even if the style is not very traditional, the animation si good.
I'm just 3 episodes in out of 12. Will do a proper review once I'm done.

@mroach Indeed. I did like the pace and story of Season 1 though.

I'm quite disappointed. If I want to see static images with dialog, I'll read the manga 📖

The movie between season 1 and season 2 was just average. This is not a movie you can watch without having seen the first part. Even if they show some of the scenes and lines from the main season you lack all the context.

@andyy Indeed, it seems it goes out to Pixel devices next week 😁
For some unexplainable reason current Pixel devices can't make use of 5G with just some ISP in Spain with Android 14, but seems to work with Android 15 beta.
I recently switched providers losing 5G in the process. Nonsense.
#Android 15 is out but my Pixel 7 hasn't yet received the update.
Any information on timelines?
EDIT: It seems Pixel devices will get Android 15 on October 15.

@vetehinen Right, I haven't met that person in a face to face but now that you mentioned a few months back I saw them in another meeting.

Today I used GitHub Copilot to write groundbreaking code to comply with the project's naming convention:

I highlighted the variable name and told it to: "capitalize and underscore" and in less than a second it generated:

When you click on our partners bookmarks and Speed Dials and make a purchase, this can result in Vivaldi earning a commission. Affiliate programs and affiliations include, but are not limited to, the eBay Partner Network.

@denschub I did play with GitHub projects (kanban, issues, etc) for personal stuff.
In the end it was too much 😅
@ayo Could be, too bad this dude will always look like Joffrey Baratheon to me.
@book :blobcatgiggle: Yes, indeed!
Re-watching "Batman Begins" and I now realize we see in it one of the most despicable characters from Game of Thrones as an innocent young kid.
Joffrey Baratheon!
@book Argh! 🤦♂️ 🇰🇷
Indeed a waste of resources 🤷
@faisal I would hope not. I did my best to express my dissatisfaction towards the whole process.
The agent signed off with a smile:
"Thank you for contacting us, have a great day!"
Sure, for one euro it's not about the money. But it leaves a bad aftertaste when they would prefer to spend more in transport and processing than simply refunding me 1€.
In the past they gave me a book for free (like 8€) when I wanted to return it when I purchased in the wrong language.
Amazon seems to have changed their policy 📝
I bought an SD card the other day, I picked it up today 📦
The price has dropped -1€ just as I went to pick it up.
Contacted Amazon to ask for a price match refund.
Amazon said no, I need to return it and order it again 😮
They are willing to do the whole return and ship it again (Amazon Prime) for 1€ difference 😲
This is nuts. In the past they did refund me the price difference when this happened 🤷♂️
I suppose my time is not worth 1€.
@scribbbleanime It's a nightmare (in a good way).
You're going to certain place for whatever reason but you get sidetracked for other things you find along the way, this game is madness 😂
@hdv Yeah, read that. Thanks
The thing is I was trying to get rid of some JS from my custom tooltip implementation by using this new API, not add more JS to calculate the position 😁
👨💻 Was excited to try and implemented the new and shiny Popover API https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Popover_API
When I couldn't position it relative to my parent element I came across this post from @hdv 👀
https://hidde.blog/positioning-anchored-popovers/
Which very well explains we can't use Popovers as tooltips for now without JS :blobcat_sadlife:
We need to wait until we have Anchor Positioning in CSS in all browsers https://caniuse.com/css-anchor-positioning

If they have tried Linux or MacOS and they have gone back to Windows, I'm intrigued to know why.

I'm three episodes in, so far it has my interest. Let's see where it goes from here. It's never easy doing a good sci-fi series.
@vetehinen I think you're right to be skeptical, we should be. Let's see.
@xabacadabra Thanks, Xab. That's what I do in the moment but I would love to not get sucked into those platforms. The darn algorithm.

@vincent Thank you for the updates, Vincent!
I can't wait to see you do your magic so we can follow any Instagram account.
@BeAware Dissapointed. Thank you for the lengthy update.
I guess I should have known better they would never let us consume their content for free.
Don't get me wrong, I love the fediverse. I dropped my X accounts and moved to my own Mastodon instance.
However, I do miss content. Especially baseball. I would love to get Threads so maybe the Instagram users I want to follow, I could read here.
I would love to drop Instagram too, but I don't want to miss that content.
What's the status of Threads federating? :mastodon:

@talksina I use https://gohugo.io/ but there are others.
@talksina What I love about the Markdown files is that I don't need to worry about ever exporting in a different format. Surely you can export with WordPress but it would be an extra step, and not as clean as Markdown.
Having to keep both up to date it would be even more hassle for me. I have sites with just WordPress and others with just Markdown 😊
@talksina Do you keep the text files after you publish to WordPress?
@jimniels Looks very tasty, Jim!
I like #blogging with just text files (markdown) for all the reasons (portability, no backend dependency...) but at the same time #WordPress makes it so effortless. One click publish 💜
Every few months I'm like "should I change my blog stack again?"

🆕 Anime Review
⭐ ⭐ ⭐
Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Hashira Training Arc
With an overrated score of 8/10 on MyAnimeList this season of Kimetsu no Yaiba is the weakest we’ve seen so far. Despite what the fanboys and fangirls tell you, the episodes are boring and this could have been easily cut in half...

@mxbck 😂 Fantastic!
@mxbck every time I see these cool fonts I'm like "I should change my blog's font, again"
The font looks great!
@scribbbleanime some people are very bored and unhappy. Ignoring seems to make the trick with them.
Not surprised.

@scribbbleanime It's very hard to find good content out there. Most of the time I enjoy way more amateur write-ups like yours than paid content creators.

The experience was overall nice but Athens can be checked off my list. I think if I go back to Greece it will be to visit the small islands.
I used the bus and metro, quite the experience! Google Maps worked very nicely even if the buses were in bad shape.
Thank you for the recommendations nonetheless.
@scribbbleanime Was not bad but not great. I specifically told them "no cheese please"

Wanted to buy more but it's was an insane amount of gems just to get character slots. What? 😂

Yes, it was bad.
➡️ https://anime.ricard.blog/reviews/haikyu-movie-battle-garbage-dump/
@myska Interesting! I feel we have too many "regular" anime with the classic main character getting stronger and whatnot. I don't want Solo Leveling to be that. I want to see something different, that's why I mentioned the "removal" of characters. Something we don't see in every anime.
Jujutsu Kaisen has very polarized reviews, even if some don't like it I think we can both agree the author is quite brave story-wise.
Thank you for the healthy conversation!
@sophie It's so sad 😢 I thought Mastodon or better said, the Fediverse, was way more mature (compared to the bird site and other social networks).

🇯🇵 📺 Kaiju No. 8 1x3

Quite a disappointing episode. I kept waiting and hoping he would use somewhat his new power. He didn't. It was boring. We already knew he was not fit for this, he failed multiple times before, and now he's even older.
It was not even funny but sad to see him fail so miserably.
The new woman character is also very annoying.
His childhood friend is not impressed, neither are we.

Pure gold. I love they maintain the high pace of the story.
When you thought this was like a horror/drama series, they hit you with pure comedy 💯
Who would've thought he'd pee through his nipples? 😂
@AlisonW_RedSox We can't possibly keep this pace for long. Let us enjoy it while it lasts 😂

Definitely not what I was expecting. @scribbbleanime was right, it's funny!
Very solid episode, good pace, good animation, interesting characters and unexpected plot.
@scribbbleanime ok, not the reaction I was expecting 😯
Will watch tonight and let you know 😁
@codepo8 You got me confused with what happens with textContent 🙈
☔ It was rainy this morning but it has gotten much better in #Barcelona 🌤️
🚄 Just bought a bullet train ticket cheaper than the price it said yesterday 😱
This, in Spain 🇪🇸 is almost unheard of. Never happened to me before 💰
Today is a good day.
@AlisonW_RedSox We did not see a sweep coming 😲 🧹

Some more photos from my #Japan2024 🇯🇵 trip.
I've written some thoughts to sum up the trip.
Long story short: Even though it wasn't as great as the 2023 trip... Yes, I'll be back to Japan at some point 🥰

Somewhat disappointed with the short fight between Sakura and Sugishita. It felt a little cheaply animated.
The rest of the episode was ok, Nirei getting a panic attack but all good 😂
@shadow@everythingbagel.social No worries.
Just Spanish and Catalan as far as I know, for this hard cover version.
🇯🇵 📺 Wind Breaker 1x2
⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐
Feeling identified with Sakura! 😅 The new character Nirei is too much 😂
Very loyal to the manga so far, no fights in this one. Let's see how they animate the following episodes.
@shadow@everythingbagel.social Catalan is a language 😁
I did read the ending of the series, somewhat diagonally when it aired. I recognize this is one of the top stories in these past years. Might be worth exploring more slowly through the manga.
This collectors edition looks very well done, I might pull the trigger soon.
Thank you for the recommendation!
@Galley That's awesome, do you usually go to the park?
Are the tickets cheap?
@scribbbleanime Episode 2/3? Haven't watched those. I need to catch up.
📚 🇯🇵 There's a new Catalan collectors edition of #AttackOnTitan
😮 Looks really good. I do not own any #ShingekiNoKyojin manga
:blobfoxthinkanime: Should I consider buying it?
❌ I never finished the anime, but I liked a lot the first part of the story.

I don't recall the last time I saw a game where a pitcher threw it completely. So, cool!
⚾ 🧢 Gets me a smile when the catcher not only helps the pitchers during the game but goes deep with a home run to take the lead. Way to go, Connor Wong.

Jet lag is still hitting me, after being 3 weeks in Japan ⛩️
Yesterday woke up at 4AM, today 5AM 😪
I might need two more days to go back to Barcelona's timezone 😁 ⏰
✈️ It's interesting how easy it is to fallback to home time (flying West). When I fly East to Japan 🇯🇵 or South Korea 🇰🇷 it takes me way longer and hits me way harder 🤔
@bamboombibbitybop Right! More if you hate what you're doing. I would also quit even if that means taking a pay cut in the next job.
Good luck 🤞
@myska looks awesome!
⚾🧢 Embarrassing fielding by the #RedSox :boston_redsox: and we're 4 down this inning against the #Guardians
@waffles Thanks, doesn't seem has an easy way to browse through them. Like swipping horizontally.
Elk seems more focused on Home timeline.
@waffles How does Elk handle lists?
On Desktop I use the out of the box advanced view with 10 columns.
Currently have the same view on Mobile but wondering if there's something better out there.
@scribbbleanime fanservice, much? 🍈 🍈 :blobcateyes:
📚 🇯🇵 There's a new manga out from the creator of #TokyoRevengers Ken Wakui.
"Astro Royale"
Started the first chapter but I find the art style so similar to Tokyo Revengers it's even distracting 😅
@myska Thank you! There were some cold rainy days that were harder to enjoy, but I'm glad I took the trip! 🇯🇵
📍 Barcelona
Made it back home. 14-hour flight from Seoul was very long.
Happy to be back. Family, friends, and my cat 😺

I think there was just one hotel in which was decent enough to stream video fast and with high quality, the rest have been awful 🐌

@scribbbleanime we need names 😁
@chiasm Was the anime loyal to the manga?
@chiasm Don't blame the player 😂
This could have been a closed story in one season but since it has been liked so much, pretty sure they'll do another one. I just hope they don't stretch it unnecessary.
Reading this it seems the anime stopped at volume 8 (out of 12) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Frieren_chapters
I might start the manga to know more 🤔
@chiasm I could tell it's a very different show, very deep. But it left me wanting so much more, I really thought we would get to the final destination in this first season.
📺 🇯🇵 "Frieren: Beyond Journey's End" feels very overrated.
I just finished the season and where are the rest of the episodes? 😅 Like, how come it ends like this?
I need to write a longer review, might wait until I'm back from Japan, though.
@chiasm Thank you for reading!

Something I'll miss from Japan is the convenience stores 🇯🇵
They are... well... very convenient. Plus, they're everywhere 🏪
We do have some similar stores in Barcelona but 24 hours just a handful. With the extra pain that usually are more expensive than a regular supermarket 💰
Do you have these in your area?

@nanikamono @mofumofu Question also is... can they keep this animation up? Or have they burned the budget already in episode 1? 😅
@nanikamono @mofumofu I was expecting way less, I've found the fights to be good. Didn't bother me at all 🙃
Doing the laundry, I should be set until I fly back home by the end of next week.
Machines in the hotel, rather cheap. I appreciate it.

As a manga reader I thought the first episode was very well animated. The rock-style music (Red Hot Chili Peppers much?) was very well placed in the fight scenes.
Voice acting was interesting and seems 100% loyal to the manga.
Your thoughts?
@scribbbleanime Odd Taxi was certainly unique! 😂
@scribbbleanime yeah I have been pushing it down the list but it got recommended to me again so I had to give it a go.
I'm on episode 14 and I don't know it justifies de 9/10 on MAL. It's good but not that good.

I have been watching #SousouNoFrieren while on the train here in Japan and I have such mixed feelings.
I'm on episode 7 and on one side I despise the main character who has zero empathy for her old party and what it meant to spend 10 years together, every day.
I get that time is relative but...
I'm also sad Himmel isn't there anymore, I would like to see a spin-off of their journey 😂
On the 14th day of #Japan2024 🇯🇵 upon arriving to Kyoto... The cherry blossom 🌸
Finally... Here are a small sample of the photos from today. Rainy but it could be worse!
⚾ 🧢 #RedSox :boston_redsox: to the win column against the #Athletics

The train station was absolutely packed. I don't remember being like this last year. I assume last year borders just reopened and we had less of us around here.
Will eat something and go downtown. Hopefully less crowded? 🥲
#Japan2024 🇯🇵
I thought I might get to see Mount Fuji from the bullet train 🗻 even if I couldn't get window seat. But it's so gray and cloudy you can't see very far.
Ye another fail to see the mountain.

@scribbbleanime It is... leaving soon for the station, seems like it's already raining in Kyoto. Kill me.
@Edent Congrats, Terence! Major achievement 👏
#Japan2024 🇯🇵 Day 13
Had such bad luck today but the food comforted me. Leaving for Kyoto tomorrow morning ⛩️
Some photos from the city of #Fukushima
@ayo Such a coincidence I just arrived at my hotel (Fukushima) and a woman was playing at it while stepping into the elevator.
I could never be hooked to it. Back when it started the combat mechanic was so bad. Not sure if that has changed.
⚾🧢 Very good to see the #RedSox :boston_redsox: take the first game of the series with the #Athletics
📍 Fukushima
I was sitting the bullet train this morning at 7AM ready to go to Sendai, wanted to see the fish market (auction) but the shinkansen line was stopped ❌
Trains did not go in or out of Fukushima 🚅
Waited for an hour in the train and then left to explore the city 🚶♂️
As I was exiting the station TV crews were preparing for broadcast 📡
This is my 4th trip to Japan and I've already had several train delays cancellations. Never seen before 😮

@myska I'm 100% with you, I don't like when the studios (for the sake of money 99% convinced) make up stuff to they keep releasing anime while the manga doesn't have enough to go on.
Both Jujutsu Kaisen and The Promised Neverland mangas I will get to in this 2024, promise 😂
📍 Fukushima
I wanted to have a quick snack before dinner... Ended up finding this.

#Japan2024 🇯🇵
@myska Yeah I feel you.
It seems there is more manga material the (unsure if the anime skipped anything up to this point), I haven't caught up to the manga yet (another item on my infinite to-do).
@myska More like in terms of advancing the plot? The story? Or more on the animation?
@myska @scribbbleanime It's on my to-do list, it will come eventually 😂
@myska @scribbbleanime I have not watched the second one as I've been told they skipped content from the manga.
I plan to finish the manga first before watching it.
@myska The opinions are so polarized in this one, right?
Some either love it or hate it, there doesn't seem to be a middle ground.
Day 10, some pictures from Sendai.
I wasn't super impressed with the city itself but had an interesting time visiting the arena from the anime #Haikyuu 🤩

@vascorsd the anime I think would be a bonus but usually the subtitles are done by professionals. No complain :blobcattea:
If your friends have spent years and can't read it still... More the reason to not to. Unless you dedicate lots of time daily/weekly? :blobcatnotlikethis:
@chiasm keep going I shall!
@vascorsd it's a very valid question, thought the same thing.
I think it would take a huge effort though. It doesn't seem worth it just to read manga.

Went to Yamagata, the trains where not working correctly today (if you can believe that from Japan) so it took me more time.

@trashmuppet Should we be glad he changed genre to sports? 😁
@silver_huskey I will watch it eventually, in a few volumes I think.
@silver_huskey I have been picking up the manga (around volume currently)
I did not know the anime had original content not from the manga. Kind of disappointed. I hoped it would be loyal. I remember watching it years ago and enjoy it.
@trashmuppet that's far away from his work in Haikyuu 🫣
What's the manga name?
@stefan I'd also be interested 💡
I wrote this but wondering if maybe there are more commands that we could add to it to keep it extra lean:
@scribbbleanime It sounds like Naruto, with it's horrible filler you must skip.
It's also hard to get into these old anime late. The art style is so out of date or the quality of the video itself, it's distracting :blobcatnotlikethis:
@scribbbleanime Right!?
I am very slowly digesting the manga. I gotta say I've never watched the anime, just a few episodes.
@scribbbleanime Thank you :blobcatheart:

I can't complain... 👇
@AWanderingSorcerer Well said! So many artists and series have been inspired by his work.
@bernat I would love to know the reason, it's just inexplicable to me 😅
@bernat Probably the same reason Markdown is not supported in Bitbucket's PR description.
Why!?
@bamboombibbitybop Yeah, when I was young I just knew the Catalan translation as it was broadcast on TV.
At some point in later years (teen?) I learned the proper way and started consuming only Japanese with subtitles. I've never gone back
@lonekorean It would be interesting if at some point both candidate and interviewer were using AI for the selection 😂

They burned the season's budget on this one. Great action-packed episode.

@yaoifest Up until episode 6 we've got a fight each week.
Now with the 7.5 recap and 8, I also feel it has slowed down 🫤
@scribbbleanime Halo was definitely a surprise. Not what I was expecting. Might not attract those who want just action. As this story explores less fighting and more about the Spartans and their brainwashing.

Found this episode perhaps to be the weakest so far. We've got no fight and just talking.
It is obvious our main character will have to show off his skills (unintentionally) inside the dungeon and everybody will be speechless.

@pawelgrzybek For now :blobcatglare:
@boostmarks @macdonst Funny you mention it, I did a re-watch of the anime (the good one, the one true to the manga) like 2-3 months ago.
Excellent anime too.
@macdonst Gotta say, Monster did not make it for me 😅
By the way, Naruto (not Boruto) is ended. Surely it's long (72 volumes) but at least we know what we get into 💰
I was not aware My Hero Academia was set to finish in 2026. I'm glad. I also prefer finished stories.
@macdonst Awesome, My Hero Academia is waiting for me on the shelf. Getting to it slowly. I'm way out of sync with the anime (where I'm up to date).
@macdonst Makes sense then, no blame.
I did enjoy the anime a lot thus started the manga.
Too bad it didn't deliver what I wanted 😢

Can't wait to start serving the new and smaller format on the blog.
@lonekorean One of the things that makes me go back to WordPress is having a comment system out of the box.
How do you solve this with a static site generator? I've seen there are many solutions out there, don't feel straightforward.
@lonekorean Very cool project!
I have gone back an forth between #WordPress and #Kekyll and #Hugo (my favorite at the moment).

@akmur So true about refunds or delivery issues 🔥
My favorite feature has to be the Amazon lockers or counters. I have a store around the corner that can take all my packages. So I don't have to worry about being home. It's so convenient.
Sure, other providers have similar things but they just don't work that well.
The moment you have a hiccup with #Amazon or take their logistics for granted, try buying something anywhere else online.
The experience is so much worse at all levels (the package tracking, the website ease of use, the guaranteed delivery date, the speed of delivery itself... next day delivery is just too fast).

Watched the anime multiple times and I'm currently reading the #manga (I'm at volume 10) and the believable power for everyone (chunin exam arc) is fun to read. I'm enjoying it a lot.

@scribbbleanime Have you considered buying a domain name so it's not ".wodpress.com"? 😎
@scribbbleanime 3 articles in each category looks better to me. Otherwise maybe it's too much information?
@scribbbleanime Looks good on mobile device, on desktop (wider screen) maybe the thumbnails are too small? They are in fact smaller than when shown in mobile.
I can't barely read the text in the thumbnail.
Additionally on desktop there seems to be a lot of empty space under the "latest post". Because of the sidebar that has 3 articles. Maybe just have 2 articles?

@karamergen Oh, you're in for a treat! #Tsurune second season has even better animated scenes 💜
@null Best of luck, stay safe.
@inthew0rld_0f_migi I see, I don't have the details on that scandal. First time I hear about it.
But even if they changed animators, couldn't they have used better ones? Or demand better results? I think we both agree it's not so much about the art but the animation, which is really bad. The character look so different from one scene to the next. It truly distracts me from the story. It's sad.
From what we've seen with the trailer for the the upcoming movie, we should expect something better.
@inthew0rld_0f_migi Yes, my eyes were bleeding the first time I saw it.
The story and voice actors are still very good, but the animation is horrendous. Why change the animation studio? It's not just the art-style but it's just cheaply animated.
The series deserved more, we deserved more.

Great second episode, even if a little bit easy to read what was going to happen.
It was clear they had to bow, it was clear he would be the last man standing either because they all died (or as it happened) fled.
The cliffhanger is major but we can all guess the main character is still alive and he'll be reworded either with power or items.
What's your theory?

🇯🇵 📚 Jujutsu Kaisen - Volume 0
⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐
This volume was fantastic.
I started with volume 0 as the author says this is a prequel but I do not know if the correct reading order would be to start here, though. As there's barely any explanation on anything, we jump into panels where we might be expected to know bits of the story we haven't been presented with.
What would be the correct reading order then?

@jantzen The web client requires a subscription, right? I don't follow enough content to justify spending on this.
@panda Looks very powerful, for less than 10 podcasts I follow I think Feedly might do just fine in my case.
The only downside (or not) is that I get the audio file without speed controls (simple <audio> tag).
So I hit the provided "download" link in the RSS item and play it locally at desired speed.
Funny enough most of the web players like iTunes do not provide a speed control 🤷♂️
With Google Podcasts closing I considered setting a self-hosted RSS player and migrate there.
However since I already use Feedly for regular RSS feeds, I just added the podcasts there.
What's your go-to desktop web app for podcasts?
🇯🇵 📚 Servamp volume 3
⭐ ⭐ ⭐
I’m continuing to like these long chapters. We haven’t had amazing panels in this volume with Kuro or Mahiru fighting. We’ve got two new characters, so the story moved forward. Not sure what the next volume will bring, as usual, I want more fights.
🇯🇵 📚 Kimetsu no Yaiba volume 3 ✅
⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐
We had very decent fights here. Not much talking and chapters full of action. We got introduced to a new character, even if so slightly and we got to see Zenitsu’s speed. Now he just needs to be a little bit braver.
I don’t think we will have so much fighting in the next volume. Let’s see!

@yellowjitsch Don't you feel like the anime started super strong and ended feeling it could've been much more?
The last 3 episodes we had to wait a long to watch were very mediocre. Nothing really happened and I would've very much preferred they did 1 episode side quests instead (like the sushi episode)
@yellowjitsch totally with you. Stunning visuals, hard to follow.
I have several manga volumes waiting for me. I did think it would help clarify, but after reading your post I'm not so sure anymore 😅

There was no fight and barely an explanation of what was going on.
It seems we did a time jump there at the end? No good cliffhanger either. It's not like I would be dying to watch the next one if it was available.

I'm not sure if this episode deserves 1 star, it was so bad.
I don't know what the author's intention was, honestly. Should we feel sorry for these people who, because they are miserable, want to kill innocent people?
They are scum. If they are so unhappy on this planet, jump off a bridge or ask for help. But to harm innocent people for fun?
I am very disappointed with this series. It started great and went downhill.

A little disappointed with this episode. It started great, cool fight on both fronts. Then the flashback was cheaply drawn, in my opinion (was the manga drawn this way? no mouth? simple comical style?).
In the end, they did not even show or animate her face exploding. This begs the question, is she dead? If she is, would've liked a front view not a back with a splash. Maybe she isn't dead?
How will Itadori get out of this one?

@otakubinary such an interesting character, I wish they would give him more spotlight.

@Miro_Collas It's a battle of open source against a giant with limitless resources. I hope we can finish on top...
@screw_dog I'm with you, I manage for now but not willing to eat ads for breakfast.
@CppGuy Interesting, what is this desktop. site? Like a wrapper for YouTube?
@chiasm For my consumption I feel I'd be paying to much.
But I can see how I would lose patience if I had to cast it on the TV where I can't skip ads.
@Flowermob That seems to, for now, be a workaround to the total block. But I'd imagine they'll eventually block not logged in users as well.
@bcharper Good stuff!
That's my setup as well :firefox: Firefox with the settings to the max 😀 a bunch of extensions and a pi-hole in the network.
I've also use DuckDuck Go and I'm with you on the email, I'm in too deep to change.
@richard@walking.masto.host I feel you, I almost never cast it to the TV because of the annoying ads. So far I've enjoyed it via :firefox: Firefox with several ad blockers, pi-hole, etc.
@null I am very confused 😂
@zalasur maybe I should also do the effort.
I do visit YouTube daily, unsure if the creators I follow also post the videos in alternative sites 🥲

What will you do❓

🇯🇵 📺 Jujutsu Kaisen 37
⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐
Episode 37, one of the best fights this season. Kudos to the animators from MAPPA 💯 👏
I think the story went a little overboard with Itadori being so badly wounded, yet being able to fight until the last moment. Dissapointed we didn't see Sukuna until the end. I guess he'll switch with him now to heal him?
@eric Yeah I'm around 30Gb I want to backup.
I think rsync is the easiest, cheapest solution at the moment.
It's a shame there's no easy way to sudo into the remote server to download to local.
@nanode Might have to end up doing that, thank you!
@glenn Thanks, I'm looking at both commands. Not finding much info about directories that need sudo :blobcatthinking:
@nanode Thank you for the detailed post! I already have a cron for database backup, I'm looking for a single command line solution that can download all the stuff.
The only thing is rsync and rclone will work with directories that need sudo? :blobfoxthinkanime:
@jaytay Thanks, I might try rclone to local instead of to another cloud provider.
@aral Thank you for the tips, Aral! Will check out Syncthing 👌
Those who have #VPS to host your sites or whatnot.
What's your backup strategy?
Backup solutions from hosting providers are usually expensive.
Thinking about just rsync to a local SSD?
Any insights are appreciated!

⭐⭐⭐
🇯🇵 📚 Servamp volume 1 ✅
I like volumes with fat chapters like these, five chapters in one volume. Love it. Lots of content and fewer cliffhangers.
I think this volume was okay, maybe I would liked a little bit more action. They got us hooked in the first and second chapters, but that was it 🥲
What do I look forward to in volume 2?
(yes, I’ve already purchased the second volume 💸)
More action 😁

🇯🇵 📚 Naruto volume 6, done! ✅
This volume was very good, it was all action, no talking, I loved it.
We got to see new characters, Orochimaru the villain for this arc I suppose, and just good ninja stuff. The character development was also interesting, perhaps Sakura did the most growing.
Onto the next!

There was a lot in this one. It took me a long time to finish, compared to others, due to the amount of text
Story I liked a lot in the beginning but it seemed it was all an “ok, we’ve done the drama, back to how things were”. All these chapters in the hospital haven’t changed a thing, we’ve been back to fighting for the charts and being in danger of being canceled.

In the first half, I thought "well animated but boring" but then it picked up, enjoyed a lot the fight with Itadori and Fushiguro, so calm and yet powerful.

Was not a huge fan of the time jumps but I understand they are necessary for the story. I think it took a long time for the different stories to start converging. Similar to Game of Thrones.

Late to the party but I've finally managed to finish Season 1 of Foundation, as IMDB puts it the "complex saga of humans scattered on planets throughout the galaxy all living under the rule of the Galactic Empire."
It has been a roller coaster with some episodes being very boring episodes and others stunning.

@blackestclovers I felt #HouseOfTHeDragon was a far cry from #GameOfThrones
Nowhere near the same quality. Not production but the story itself. It felt just too disconnected. Where Game Of Thrones all the plots with the different characters / stories connected somehow and it was fantastic.

⭐️⭐️⭐️
This volume was overall a little weak. I think the plot has thickened a lot with this “back to square one” but we have not given many answers. It feels like we know nothing, at the start of volume 3.
Overall I feel the new characters Baji and Kazutora are not well developed. I liked the backstory with the killing of Mikey’s older brother but the hatred they feel for Mikey makes zero sense.

⭐⭐⭐⭐
Lots of things happened in this second part. Pretty good volume 👌
It feels like we’re back to square one, though. We’re starting over with the same goal, to save them all probably (although I wouldn’t mind not saving Akkun, what an arse). What changed, though, is that Takemichi seems more decided now. I think he has learned and changed a bit, so I expect not to see the same thing again.

📚 #AoAshi #manga volume 7 is done! ✅
It felt a little bit worse maybe because of the overall mood. We see Ashito struggling, people yelling at him, telling him to go home even 🤬
He’s being portrayed as knowing nothing (which could be somewhat true at being a defender) but is it too much? He’s brilliant at times (without realizing it, that’s fine!) but other times is like… “Oh right, I could watch videos and learn from them” 🤦♂️

End of #AoAshi #manga volume 4! ✅
This volume has been very good overall, I think the best so far in terms of drawing.
Such intense panels, it has kept me reading fast. I read the whole volume in one sitting. I usually never do this, as I want to pace myself and enjoy them more. Was hard to stop reading this one. Well done.
@gpage Now, I have even removed all the relays (which has lowered the CPU usage and storage considerably) in favor of https://github.com/g3rv4/GetMoarFediverse
If I started from scratch I would look at the alternatives, no doubt, before committing to a backend.
@gpage Hey Grayson, I stayed with Mastodon because moving the backend to Pleroma or Akkoma seemed very complicated while keeping the same domain. I could not encounter anyone that did it successfully.
I did not want to change the domain (or subdomain) or lose my followers.
After the disk usage issue was resolved, the Mastodon instance got very stable.
Are there even cases when a #CSS implementations of a #JavaScript :javascript: behavior performs worse than JS?

@shanselman Bummer, I would imagine you're entitled to some compensation after landing. In the EU for long hauls, it's at least around 600€, better get informed.
Happened to me a few years back when flying from London to Seoul. I reached them out via social media and British Airways wired me the compensation in a matter of days. Great service.

@Joelysmile Fantastic drawing! 👏
@garritfra Got the same email for a post of mine
@To Same! I enjoy more the break between reading the different stories.
If I read the same story in one go, I don't enjoy it as much. Goes by too fast.
As I go back to work soon and won't be able to go to the library during open hours I went again this morning and got some more #manga
⚽ #AoAshi 1-8 (volume 1 was great)
👊 #TokyoRevengers 1 (did not love the anime but want to give this a try)
👹 #KimetsuNoYaiba 1 (love the anime, how's the manga? If I buy it I shall do in Catalan, not Spanish)
🔪 #Gokushufudo 1 (the anime is so fun!)

⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐
Volume 1 of #AoAshi is done! ✅
I've read faster than my usual pace as I want to return them to the library to get a different series before I'm back to work.
This first volume already convinced me to start collecting it. Good stuff!
@macdonst Thank you for the inspiration, stopped by today and left with some manga 😁
Went to the local library and got the first 5 #manga volumes for #AoAshi 💯
If it's as good as the anime, I might purchase it 💰

@ted Oh wow, these look amazing 🤤
⚾ When the #RedSox :boston_redsox: are so bad the most amusing inning is when a position player takes the mound.
Well done.
@macdonst You work fast! 👏
Also thank you for the idea of checking the library see if they have manga I want to read but not collect :ablobcatbongo:
@macdonst You can tell it's a very old manga (more than 20 years old), the drawing style and such.
A friend gave me like 40 volumes so I'll read it, but not sure it's my cup of tea.
Now, on the other hand... #BlueLock or #Haikyu are awesome even if you don't play the sports. The art on Blue Lock is so intense.
Also #Naruto or #MyHeroAcademia are, for me, more entertaining shonen if that's what you're looking for 😎
Caught myself with my mouth open at the last play of the game 😮 Speechless.
The #RedSox :boston_redsox: lose...
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
⚽ Blue Lock volume 4 is done ✅
Great chapter 31st and fantastic volume overall, the best so far. Such intense drawing and plot 💯
@DrunkCollegeKid Animation is fantastic but the main character is so creepy when his 40 year-old persona surfaces 🤢
I'm about 8 episodes into the first season and it was somewhat funny when he was looking at his mother's breasts... but when he looks at young girls... Not cool.
@blackestclovers Stop it, please :blobcatgiggle:
@blackestclovers @nubesurrealista You manga readers setting the anime-only fans expectations high 😁
The manga is on my to-buy list, but not just yet 💸
@nubesurrealista @blackestclovers I'm still on the fence about "anime of the year" but it's looking very good with just these few episodes 💯
📺 Jujutsu Kaisen 29
⭐ ⭐ ⭐
Lots of text and zero action (good animation regardless!) but it was to be expected if we're closing the backstory arc. I was needed to see where they came from.
I look forward to see more of the present with the other characters now.
#Haikyu volume 4 is done! ✅
Good closing chapter and overall great volume, better than the previous one 💯

From Atsushi Ookubo, the author of Soul Eater, comes this action-packed anime with a similar art style.
I have finally finished the first season. Better late than never!
@ljaesch oh no... :blobcat_sadlife:
@blackestclovers I'm on volume 5, after watching several times the full series over the years I'm finding the manga equally good so far.
What I'm noticing is the difference in art style for the characters, a little bit more used to the anime... sort of like it more than the manga.
@blackestclovers You read too fast! You devour them :blobcatgiggle:
Since I started collecting manga this year I take my time, usually re-read each chapter twice to enjoy both text and drawings 😅
@blackestclovers I have custom lists for manga, anime, tech, etc... So I don't look at Home nor Federated.
@Joelysmile So good! 👏

It took a bad turn, well... except for Kencho 😏
Naruto volume 3 is done ✅
Enjoyed a lot the latest chapters in this one, great fight so far and what a cliffhanger!
📺 Jujutsu Kaisen 28
@blackestclovers Episode 27 and 28 were very nice indeed! Animation was top 💯
Although the final fight was a little bit anti-climactic as Goju became too overpowered.

Do you know if the whole season is this flashback arc?
📺 Jujutsu Kaisen 25

I had no idea this was going to be a prequel. Are they going to fast-forward in time this season or is it all backstories?
So far, a little disappointed and not loving it.
Animation from MAPPA is of course good.

@bartdorsey optional chaining indeed but not using:
Obj?.prop = value
@Revertron Nope.
@To Got it 😎
@moira You linked to my own blog post 😂
Thank you for taking a look!
@fell Yeah, not sure either 🤷
@moira Yeah I don't know where the videos come from, it seems limit is both image and video.
Is there a way to automatically reject video assets from remote servers?
From time to time ffmpeg will go crazy processing files and CPU/RAM will go through the roof for hours.
My Hero Academia - Chapter 7

End of volume one! ✅ Very good overall even if this chapter was nothing outstanding.
The best part, however, was our boy Izuku being renamed as Deku all thanks to a pretty girl and a nice smile. He was sold on it so fast 🤣
➡️ https://manga.ricard.blog/reviews/my-hero-academia/chapter/7/
This is very nice! Look at this optional chaining proposal :javascript:

Which would be equivalent to:

@maniesansdelire @blackestclovers Sadness.
@blackestclovers The whole licensing is a nightmare, to be honest. Even if you pay for Crunchyroll which it seems to have most of it... then you realize they remove some of the items from the catalog in your country because of these licensing issues.
The whole industry while pushing so hard to make money effectively force you to pirate 🤷 🏴☠️

Done with #Bakuman volume 3 ✅
It definitely felt strange how Takagi was brushing off Saiko telling him he was working on the story (which he was) and that he would have it ready in time… Now we know the truth! 😏
@blissfulmun @wststreet it had the opposite effect for me.
I found ep.1 to be brave and bold, not your typical story. Such twist I wanted more immediately.
Then it slowed down so much after that, only to pick itself up at the end.
@BT0ng very cute!
@Elpopov Oh no, then I misunderstood :blobcat_sadlife:

I just wish everybody would use hashtags (you already do). I've seen people reviewing manga chapter or anime episodes without hashtags. So it's very hard for others to find and get a discussion started.

🆕 Anime Review: Oshi no Ko (Season 1)
⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐
It’s been a long time since I’ve seen a story this brave, you know the expression “don’t judge a book by its cover”. Well, Oshi no Ko should show up when looking up that definition 👏
@chikorita157 Great news for #OshiNoKo thank you for sharing! :blobcatheart:

@blackestclovers thanks for the heads up 😸
@blackestclovers excellent! Yes I much prefer ended series so I know what I'm getting into 😁
I'll add them to my list! Thanks :blobcatheart:
@blackestclovers that thing is 105 volumes long and not finished! 😂
Currently reading: Haikyuu, Naruto, Blue Lock, Bakuman, Bleach, and My Hero Academia.
On the lookout: Jujutsu Kaisen, Demon Slayer, Servamp, Attack on Titan and Fire Force.
I've seen the anime for most of them and feel they would be safe bets for manga.
@blackestclovers Love your style! :blobcatfingerguns:
I do some much thinking before committing to a series. I'm trying to be selective, to make sure I'll like them and not drop them. I also try to get the ones translated to Catalan first, then if none is to my liking fallback to Spanish translation.
For now I'm following 5 long running manga, so I'm good but I already have my eyes in a few more :blobcatboo: 💸
@blackestclovers Funny enough I see there's a light novel on Amazon. Is yours a manga or a novel?
@blackestclovers I enjoyed the #anime for #TheDevilisaPartTimer
How's the #manga ? Are the fights better?
@beisbolcards I once worked with some colleagues in the East coast... It wasn't very productive.
@scribbbleanime Also... Yes we need to spread awareness about Blue Lock, it's too good to pass! :ablobcatbongo:
I'm slowly reading the anime, still a few volumes out until I catch the end of the first anime season. Looking forward to season two next year 🤞
@scribbbleanime On point, Roki! I like what you say about it being very organic. Well put!
Thank you for the boost 😊

@Sfwmson Sure, it all can't be good.
My issue is the theme. All previous seasons, as far as I can remember, had technology as a theme. Not this one, hence my disappointment.

Black Mirror season 6
@ayo I would recommend you watching the first one, which has the most tech in it.
The rest, no tech involved.
Black Mirror season 6
Quite disappointed with this new season that just aired.
For me what made it great was the dystopian technology futures it presented. This is season is everything but that.
Only the first episode follows what I expected and wanted to see. The rest were simply not #BlackMirror but a different show entirely. I don't understand. Just name it something else. Why use the franchise like that.
Your thoughts?
Oshi No Ko 1x09
@blackestclovers I need them to move the story a little bit farther.
Aqua met with the producer and got some leads. Hopefully we'll see something happening soon.
I feel bad for Akane, being used by Aqua like that. She has real feelings...
@blackestclovers I thought maybe it was a little slow?
I think the problem was the first episode, it was too good, with great pace.
Episode 8 was great, though. This weeks (9th) wasn't too much for me.
@blackestclovers Nice #manga purchase! 😁
I have #FireForce on my list to buy but I want to re-watch the #anime before I commit to it. I barely remember how far it got.
@kev This is fantastic 🤠 😁
@scribbbleanime How could Isagi possibly win? 😏

@komarispaghet Oh wow, totally opposite of how #BlueLock left me. I thought it was very different from things like Haikyu.
Sure, there were some CGI moments but there were some scenes with superb animation.
The manga is very good, surely it's hard to mimic the drawing intensity I think they make it justice.

I don’t know if this movie is great or if it tried to do too much, it’s so strange and mind-boggling I had to search for “ending explained” to see what others make out of the ending.

📚 Manga: Bakuman - Chapter 8
We’re starting the second volume 💜
I’ve got to say this was a lot of text 😮💨 I guess to be expected as we need information but I found it ironic that the panels had so much text while at the same time the editor was telling Suujin the story had too much text 🤭

Loved the finale, just wished there was more.
I kept my faith until the last second to see if IG-11 would make real return (not what we got instead). Alas, no luck.

@losttourist
From my investigation there's no clean way to standup another instance in the same domain and don't break the internet. I guess it could be fine if you don't care about keeping followers and such (which I wanted to keep).
I'd love to read more if you end up going through with this.
@losttourist This same question is what I asked myself after installing Mastodon, running it for a couple of months and realizing I should have gone with #Akkoma for or a smaller backend. Mastodon is very nice but it's overkill for 1 user.
@komarispaghet One of the best #anime period, doesn't matter it's a sports anime.
I'm totally with you with the character development, etc. I think that's what makes it so good (not the sport part). I don't even play 🏐 and I consider this one on my top 3 anime of all time 💜

I am super disappointed in this manga.
The death of Aki was such a let down and not well done at all. I could barely follow what's going on. The series have turned for the worst and I'm not sure I want to keep reading

@mondanzo@uwuwatch.club It's different. The cache retention deletes everything (posts you've liked, bookmarked, etc).

@mondanzo@uwuwatch.club Does this help?
@julian :blobcatfingerguns:
@julian The downside (hence why I didn't do it) is that it can't be automated. I didn't want to have to request and export, download and import it to the other system manually.
Using the Mastodon API and GitHub Actions running every day, I know my archive is fresh every morning.
@julian You could totally skip the API. Just go to your Mastodon instance profile settings and request an export of your posts.
Then have Hugo or something else read that export and build a site with it.

Wow, such a beautiful episode :blobcatheart:
It was so well animated, no filler, nothing but the match. Each shot beautifully animated.
Initially I felt bad for them to lose but then I thought the others are a power school and had third years in the team. So it feels organic and natural that they won.
I'm surprised there's a 13th episode next week? They could've wrapped the season with this one.

I was already thinking my single-user instance using 2GB of DB was too much...
@patrick I recently moved to another cloud provider.
Wasn't too hard to setup Mastodon again
Long story short, just install it and import the DB backup.
If you are using Object Storage the media assets are a non-issue. Otherwise maybe rsync to bring them to the other machine?
@ayo From my research it's very lightweight, night and day compared to Mastodon when it comes to hardware requirements.
But moving an existing account to another BE on the same domain... I couldn't find a success story anywhere.

Very disappointed of how they developed this episode. There was no build-up to the semi-final.
Nikaido's team lost but they didn't show us a single miss/fail.
On the other hand they did show Kazemai missing to then recover with Minato's long draw.
Still, in an instant they were out. All that rivalry of the previous episodes ended in a few seconds.
Am I alone on this? Or do you also think they didn't do this justice?

What does it mean to REPLY_INTERVAL_IN_HOURS to 0. Disable it, but what do I lose with it?

@danielofdojima Episode 8 felt to me a little predictable and rushed. They painted Joel's situation bleak and near death only to wake up and start murdering everyone
📺 The Last of Us 1x8
⭐ ⭐ /5
Very strange, rushed and predictable episode. I did not enjoy it too much.
- Joel's miraculous recovery was absurd.
- It was clear that David had evil intentions from the get-go.
- Why wouldn't the town-folk turn on David?
I'm sad that we're close to the end of the season and it has lost its touch.
Your thoughts?
@blazingobsidian I haven't read #BlueLock manga but yeah, feels like it will end too soon.
@notwallygm No pressure... Let's see what happens 👀

Not much has happened but I enjoy seeing Deku appearance change, looks every day more like a villain. I guess that's the intention.
I'll be dissapointed if he loses against his friends, he's too powerful now.

I hate when they use CGI in some bits, just don't do it. They knew the manga was an action packed story, don't go cheap on us know and animate properly.
I'm a little disappointment with Bachira, the hype around this match was high but now it's like he's not even playing. Not sure I thought he would've had a more important role. Maybe it's coming in the next one?
@mdmrn Done! ✅
@abnv awesome!
Wondering if the Mastodon API wrapper could be leveraged as dependency to call the instance instead or reimplementing those generic calls :blobfoxthinkanime:
@alastor8472@mastodon.online Thanks!
@alastor8472@mastodon.online is this from Crunchyroll? Have they shared Nagi yet?

Oh boy https://search.brave.com now shows "Summarizer" in results "Powered by Brave AI"
An answer based on several sources and links to them.
Just tried the same query and #Brave gave me a better answer than #Bing chat.
@NotMyBub @jaanus When looking at the source they published 3 months ago I feel it's not up to date.
The dashboard shows "toots" but that keyword is nowhere to be found in that JSON
I feel it might be out of date

@null :blobcatnotlikethis: Thanks!
@null Wondering if running "tootctl accounts prune" would be enough to keep things lean.
Maybe not good enough, maybe you interacted with an account (now dead) the prune won't delete it because of that activity :blobfoxthinkanime:
How long did it take to run the cull command? I'm guessing a while ⏳
@xvilo What's Grafana Loki? 😅
@michael Thought the same, too complex for me.
Check the other article which is easier to follow 😉
✅ Done, I've succesfully set up #Prometheus and #Grafana on the same machine as my Mastodon instance :blobcataww: as encouraged by @NotMyBub
Followed this great article https://jaanus.com/mastodon-monitoring-prometheus-grafana/ from @jaanus 💜
Used the cool Grafana dashboard from @IPngNetworks 😎 https://grafana.com/grafana/dashboards/17492-mastodon-stats/
Now I'd like more Mastodon stats (number of posts, instances, etc) like they have in: https://grafana.hachyderm.io/public-dashboards/445bbb0e169f4e86b1d1eeee7e50c92a?orgId=1&refresh=30s

@Garikapc feels like it's going back to the root, to a more season 1 feel
#TheMandalorian :mandalorian:
@NotMyBub thank you, once again. I will give it a try.
@NotMyBub I'm in a single-user instance and so far seems to work fine with what I have.
The specs was why I was considering doing the monitoring somewhere else. But it's lightweight I might give it a try.
The log retention (persistent storage?) you mention, is that configured on prometheus or Grafana❓
Thank you
@bigdarrio Agreed, needs to go back to the first season vibes.
I think it might go into that direction from what we've seen in this first one.
The western duel shoot out with the pirates, the fighter speed chase...
The only strange thing for me was the encounter with Bo-Katan, left me a little confused.
#TheMandalorian :mandalorian:
@derbadian Agreed! #TheMandalorian :mandalorian: is so good.
First episode was decent, building up to some epic stuff. Can't wait for IG-11 to be back and join mando to shoot things up 🔫 😁
@NotMyBub Interesting! I don't have strong opinion so any feedback is welcome I'm just learning about all these.
What are the specs of your machine? I do have disk to spare but just 4Gb of RAM and the machine is also hosting a bunch of other websites.
@Stephan This is the way! :mandalorian:
📺 The Mandalorian 3x1 :mandalorian:

- Very cool and dissapointing at the same time the scene with all the mandalorian fighting the creature. I thought they would end it fast 🐊
- Grogu is till doing cute things :grogu:
- Can't wait for the droid to be repaired 🤖
- The meeting with Bo-Katan felt a little akward. "I'm here to join you?" :blobcatthinking:
What's your take?
#TheMandalorian :mandalorian:
📺 Anime - Tsurune 2x9 🏹
⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ /5
More background on Nikaidō and how he only shoots for revenge. Very original, dude.
I feel he's just unhappy, he practices kyudo to prove everyone wrong and avenge his uncle (even if they didn't do him any wrong? Ok, the master didn't take him as student but that's it?)
Feels a little weak plot-wise 🤷
The animation as usual, beautiful 💜
@NotMyBub Thank you for the heads up.
Plan, for now, is to host prometheus in the same machine as the Mastodon instance and use the Grafana cloud free tier.
Or maybe it's easier with the Oracle's free tier machine. It's a little out of my game, learning as I go.
@cambraca Thank you Camilo 💜
Then maybe this is the way to go:
- Install Prometheus in the same machine
- Setup exporters to feed Prometheus
- Grafana on the cloud (free tier) hooked to the Prometheus
Sounds like a plan :blobcatthumbsup:
@cambraca I also know nothing about all the parts involved, have read that post but wasn't clear
Also found this https://jaanus.com/mastodon-monitoring-prometheus-grafana/ but it's on the same machine
I'd really like to not have it on the same machine.
Would love an easy to follow blog post on how to send the exporters to the Grafana machine (on GrafanaLabs cloud) :blobfoxthinkanime:
Is the prometheus going to be on the GrafanaLabs? Or is Prometheus needed on the same machine?
Will it slow down the performance if so?
Has anyone setup Mastodon monitoring with GrafanaLabs free tier?
The posts I've found all installing Grafana in either the same machine as the Mastodon instance or separate machine.
Wondering if I could leverage that free tier for my single-user Mastodon instance

@jan Thanks, Jan!

@jan Thanks, Jan. I'll take a deeper look at the concurrency setting for the cron
@michael Excellent, I have disk to spare I'll try that. Thank you, Michael!
@michael The Postgre logs show all but up to:
checkpointer process (PID 39434) was terminated by signal 9: Killed
Then:
FATAL: the database system is in recovery mode
LOG: received fast shutdown request
FATAL: the database system is shutting down
😿
@michael Found this in the syslog it seem to run out of memory, even though I'm usually at 50%
Probably happened while running the media cleaup cronjob
Wondering if I can limit that memory usage somehow to prevent this?
postgresql@15-main.service: A process of this unit has been killed by the OOM killer.
system-postgresql.slice: A process of this unit has been killed by the OOM killer.
@jan You're going into the right direction, Jan.
Look at my syslog
systemd[1]: postgresql@15-main.service: A process of this unit has been killed by the OOM killer.
systemd[1]: system-postgresql.slice: A process of this unit has been killed by the OOM killer.
Is it possible to somehow limit the memory usage, so it doesn't happen again? :blobfoxthinkanime:
@armin@afop.tech @lifeofguenter@convo.casa Disk space is not an issue, plenty available. All my cache is on an S3 Object Storage
Thanks to@uastronomer@mastodon.monoceros.co.za I just found this in the syslog :blobcateyes:

systemd[1]: system-postgresql.slice: A process of this unit has been killed by the OOM killer.
@uastronomer Thank you for the input, Allen!
@uastronomer What am I looking for in the syslog? I'm at more or less the time of crash but can't identify much.
I'm where it starts to log "Rejected Announce activity" as the relays can't post into the instance
@lifeofguenter@convo.casa Where do I get those, Günter? 😅
@uastronomer Could be, I'm just using half right now but maybe the media removal cronjob took all the memory?
@jan Right now 2.15/3.83Gb used. Usually the server doesn't use more than 3Gb out of those 3.8Gb
Most probably it crashed during the media remove cronjob
Any idea how or why would #PostgreSQL crash by itself ❓
It took down the instance in the middle of the night ⛔

@compass indeed, I haven't read the manga so I'm not sure where we are exactly story-wise.
Do we have a date on the next season's release? This year or are we talking 2024?
@rolle @vito I think not. Mastodon will not know the files are gone, it will try to serve them and the S3 will return 404 until the sync is done.
The reason I turned it on before the sync was to have already the new files uploaded to the S3. Didn't want to have to do yet another sync after the first one.
Not sure if this make sense.

@rolle 1TB of assets? That's inmense for a 4 user instance 😮 I'm currently at 25Gb and have like 10-12 relays.
What does your cronjob to delete assets look like?
Here's mine: https://ricard.dev/improving-mastodons-disk-usage/
The only reason to change to an S3 would be reduce the storage cost. Not sure what's your deal with Hetzner but usually dedicated S3 object storage is just cheaper than regular SSD's.
@Robworks@phpc.social Thanks!
dynamic name attribute would be nice, markup is there on page load rather than waiting for JS. But you don't look very convinced 😁
@pixelcode I see it now 🙃 ✅
@rolle The server does not have to be offline, as mentioned you can point it to S3 so it starts uploading there while you sync
@rolle Yes, that should do it.
Since you're in, what seems to be, a single user instance you could do the following:
1. Change the Mastodon config to point to the S3 (yes, it would break the existing downloaded images but if it's just you using the instance, it's not a big issue. Byt doing this the newly found image would start to be uploaded directly to S3)
2. Start the sync using the CLI so the already downloaded go to the S3.
3. Done? 😁
@rolle thank you for the feedback!
I don't fully know how that storage mount works but you should be able to use a CLI to sync it to an S3. I've used AWS CLI and had no problems moving from local to S3 and the other way around.
@3rdNRobzilla13@universeodon.com what would you rate higher than #ChaindawMan this season?

@Robworks@phpc.social is the preferred solution creating the iframe element on page load with #JavaScript :javascript: ❓ :blobfoxthinkanime:
@ayo yes! Enjoy the ride :ablobcatbongo:

@Gazimoff Thank you, Gareth!
@vmstan The hashtag itself has worked really well for me, I've been able to interact, help others and solve my own issues by simply posting here with it 💜
Sure, it doesn't work great for long threads or logs (maybe GitHub is good for that?). I don't want to have yet another site to watch over 😅
@Gazimoff thanks! Do you have those git pages?
@Gazimoff Do you have any guide on how to identify areas of improvement?
My single-user instance works well (?) but would love to know if there's anything I could have tuned better (DB, Sidekiq, etc)
Tsurune 2x07
Just watched #Tsurune 2x07 what a beautiful episode again, so wholesome.
Ryouhei is just nice and cheerful 💜
Nothing like being a little rich, huh? Great equipment, private shooting range... but still, not as happy as Ryouhei. Food for thought.
It's great to see this season focusing more on each character. Maybe they didn't dive deep enough into Ryouhei's backstory as they did with the rest?
@rach@social.rachsmith.com Nice!
I've also recently started to use paper again (I have several fountain pens, I need to make use of them more often! 🖋️ )
For longer tasks/projects I still log that digitally into tickets or whatnot, but for daily paper has been the solution for the past months 💜

@lauteshirn @nick @ConnyDuck @knossos @Tusky Thanks!
I will stick with #Tusky for now and see if the feedback is accepted 😊
@jan oh no... :blobcatnotlikethis:
@jan Absolutely the right decision to decouple the concept of #Mastodon :mastodon: from that "main" instance. We need more education around instances to new joiners.
Glad to see the numbers but I still think it's too big. I think he said in a recent post that people are using the "Invite" links to let more people in. Maybe that should also be closed.
@ConnyDuck @knossos Thanks!
Would love to be able to have more than 5 tabs. I'm already at maximum with home, notifications and lists.
@bergmeister I don't know the code that cleans the statuses but my assumption would be it should not get deleted.
In the end you boosted it, it should be kept in your timeline forever unless you manually remove it.
Let's see if someone can dig into the repo and find out.
@shelby@fauxzen.com maybe use this python API wrapper to get the follows and print their last post or something. To know when they were last active?
@stoamandl Nice! Thank you for confirming it's the good stuff :blobcattea:

😮 I am very impressed with this uptime monitor powered entirely by GitHub Actions 💜
I've added my Mastodon :mastodon: instance to my own forked repo.

Maybe this will help, I had initially done a bad configuration of the S3 with #Scaleway docs

@Purple Hi there Isa, just read your GitHub issue regarding S3 Bucket in #Scaleway here https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/22981#issuecomment-1386194288
Wondering if you had eventually moved the S3 objects to the root and changed the configuration.
Did that work?

👎 I dislike Baro very much but I gotta give it to them, this episode kept me at the edge of my seat 😮
Who will they pick next❓
I'm inclined to think Chigiri for his speed. But it could very well be Reo for his passes. I do not think it will be Kunigami, it's too similar to Baro but weaker 🤔
@lee Did you migrate the current domain instance from Mastodon AWS to Pleroma?
I didn't know it was possible to change backends easily.
@bramus Awesome demo, Bramus!
@notalex Totally!
The animation is fantastic #RymansClub Definitely give it a try.
@notalex 😆 Happened to me with #Haikyuu and volleyball 🏐 as well as with #RymansClub and badminton.
PS: I've been playing badminton for 6 months now 🤣 It's fun 😁 🏸
@shiruken Nice find!

@mookie@happyorange.xyz I hope admins will exercise good judgement before importing a big fat blocklist by copy pasting from who knows where 🙏
@oliphant Regarding the pull when needed, don't think it works for webMentions from my blogs.
For instance here https://ricard.dev/how-to-add-web-mentions-to-your-wordpress-site/ people who liked the post might not follow me or I might not follow them. I don't know if they liking my post constitutes "interaction", thus their avatar would be kept in cache :blobfoxthinkanime:
@oliphant It seems to go into that direction
I did a PR to document these new commands (pending to be merged)
Unsure about the exact conditions
@oliphant In run a bash with the commands for removing status, media, previews, and now headers.
The bash runs every hour and I pass "--days 3" to keep it lean :blobcatfingerguns:
@oliphant That removes also avatars, but I'm not sure if I want that.
I use webmentions for my blogs, it's nice to see the avatars there. I wonder if I'll be removing avatars from users who have mentioned my posts.

@ConnyDuck Any chance to onboard more maintainers, so you can delegate?
@michael I'm sure one of his 32K followers would happily help him fine tune dedicated hardware 😎
@jan That makes total sense, specially for that price range.
It looks like Aral should think about migrating providers :blobcatfingerguns:
Interesting thread from Aral on the issues of #Mastodon with 32K followers and following 7K :mastodon:
For 50€/month I thought you could have better performance.
@leah Awesome post, Leah. So much to digest 👨🎓
@lore I think we would you want a centralized (cursed word) documentation site. Rather than multiple sites. Sure both could be indexed but it's always easy to do a site search on a single site.
My problem is the official docs are not receiving updates often enough.
I did open a PR (now approved by a Mastodon maintainer) to document 4.1.0 new commands and it hasn't been merged. I'm confident it will fall through the cracks and not be merged... :blobcat_sadlife:
@afiestas @garritfra Well I think you don't usually put a CDN in front of cold storage data (glacier). It's meant to almost never be accessed. I'm not sure if you can even add a CDN in front.
For regular data you do standard S3 storage.
@fribbledom I still buy paper books from time to time!
@SecurityWriter Same!
I don't think it's needed. From what I've read on the GitHub pitch it will most likely be opt-in if implemented :mastodon:
@berserker Thanks!
I recently made the switch to #Scaleway and since I'm a single-user instance and don't manually upload/post media to it, I didn't notice.
It look me several days to download the 600GB (zip files of 50Gb) from Google Takeout (Photos) and upload them to the S3 compatible GLACIER class cold storage ✅ 🥶
The next step is having the third copy in an external SSD 💾
Almost there...
@broximar just preordered #TearsOfTheKingdom as it has a discount on Amazon :blobcatnotlikethis:
Are you also a fan of the latest for #NintendoSwitch ?
@caleb Firefox mobile on Android. The page has scroll.
@caleb heads up, on mobile viewport it seems there's horizontal overflow or text not wrapping on the blog post (code snippets?). You have horizontal scroll :blobcat_sadlife:
@pawelgrzybek :blobcataww: Same! 💜
Like no JS at all if I can help it, even when I make my living writing #JavaScript :javascript:
On the #CSS :css3: I'm far away from black text on white background. But I have noticed I tend to handcraft more nowadays for side projects. Just what's really needed, CSS Grid allows so much with just a few lines.
@fell Not sure if it's the same but for 4.1.0 some rate limits have been increased

@itamarst they might have seen your post, I just tried the same query and I get "Not a good idea" :blobcatgiggle:
@null time to switch provider :blobcatfingerguns:
@ayo the deployments via GitHub actions are sure appealing. It is good to lower the technical barrier for creating new instances.
You're right, though. We need to wait, #Wildebeest is at a very early stage.
@null #Wildebeest seems overly complicated setup compared to setting up #Mastodon 🤔
Is this another way for #Cloudflare to take people's money or are they really invested in the #Fediverse?

@michael I was about to reply "you should link this blog post on the README", then I thought "wait, I could just do a PR" but darn the link is already in the README :blobcatfingerguns:
@thor Thanks for clarifying!
@thor Not sure how it works if I search for a hashtag to find posts from accounts I don't follow (partially why I use the relays)
The posts will be there I guess and the account re-created the moment I read the post?
@thor I wonder if prune will be a little overkill as I'm using relays to populate my instance of more juice.
I might be deleting and re-creating the same accounts constantly.
@thor Right
"tootctl accounts cull" is in the docs.
Now I see the prune command in the source:
➡️ https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/blob/main/lib/mastodon/accounts_cli.rb
Thanks!
@thor Interesting, the accounts prune is not in the docs 😮
@michael I'm in a single user instance, but thanks!

Scaleway seems not to charge you for in/out transfer :blobcatthinking:

😮 Learning about cold storage (S3 Glacier compatible Object Storage).
This particular provider states:
"Stored in a former nuclear fallout shelter 25 meters underground, your data is totally secure and isolated from all natural and technological risks."
💡 Thinking about using it for storing my processed photos (around 600Gb) which should cost me about 1.5€ / month. I do need assurance against nuclear war :blobfoxthinkanime:

🎙️ Frontend Coffee Break
"Episode 8: We love side projects"
@csacaness You're so right. Also, the animation is just beautiful.
I wrote a small piece on season 1 now that the second just started:
@rafael Could it be these avatars are simply not available in the remote instance? Have you tried going to the remote profile page?
@ayo That's what I currently do, I have a cronjob that runs this bash script hourly.
Once we have 4.1.0 I'll just add to this bash to include the headers removal. Done 💜
@Lapineige Thanks for clarifying!
@ayo Agreed! I'm looking forward the next 4.1.0 release where we'll be able to remove avatars and/or headers from remote accounts. Which wasn't possible until just now.
Truth be told I used to just delete the headers folder manually once every few weeks to free up my S3 storage. I couldn't care less for profile headers.
@ayo Yeah, not with Mastodon. I think #Akkoma and #Pleroma work like that, they don't download remote assets.
But it's not a great architecture either, because all instances act as CDN for you.
Granted it takes a lot of space on your instance but if a remove instance goes down, is not available or just slow you don't notice it.
📺 Anime - Boku no Hīrō Akademia

We had to go through this episode eventually, the conversation with the past users.
They make Deku leaving the academia a bigger deal than what actually is going to be, I presume. But it sells nice that after 6 seasons "he's leaving" 😆
I hope we're back into action because we've had plenty of dialogue episodes already.
@ayo @elias What a coincidence 😆 I'm moving Object Storage provider today and it's being a challenge so far.
I've managed to download 50Gb of assets from old S3 provider and now I'm trying to upload to the new provider. But the default upload set it to "private" which is no good. Trying to find a flag/command with the aws CLI to recursively upload while setting public policy.
Tough stuff!

@jcrabapple Thanks!
@jcrabapple I thought you could potentially add an overwrite CSS in the instance but there's :javascript: involved to render the columns (mobile vs desktop), not just media queries
@jcrabapple it's certainly a workaround but it's clunky and hard to swipe :blobcatnotlikethis:
Is there a way (or other open source web client) to have Mastodon advanced columns on the mobile viewport❓
Going mobile with the out of the box web app kills my custom columns (pinned, hashtags, lists...)

Just got that feeling that even with the cron jobs purging stuff it never seems to go down. Maybe if I didn't have the cron jobs I'd have double the size :blobcatnotlikethis:

@jan My private instance used to be at Linode, now on netcup
@dave I'm just too in love with the Mastodon advanced web view. I need my columns 😁
@matt Cool link! Just tried with my private instance, says 49%

@smolltatertat@mastodon.lol Not sure if 10 out of 10, but a solid 8 for me. It's really good and different from what we're used to 💯
I just feel the animation has been slacking a little since the initial episodes. Like they burnt the budget on awesome stuff at the beginning and no we get a lot of static images.

@simevidas Today I learned! Thank you 💜
@christian @shelby@fauxzen.com I did, some other #MastoAdmins had also recommended it so I gave it a go.
I've had zero issues so far. It undoubtedly depends on what you use it for, what your needs are.

Haven't played the game, was this in it? If not, even if incredible moving (and depressing) was it necessary for the main story?
last of us episode 3
@rfaulder I went in with no expectation, oh boy what a ride.
Although I'm not sure how relevant to the main story this was.
@kfoleyfl Acting was incredible but the whole thing was super depressing :blobcat_sadlife:

Well, this was incredibly depressing.
I was excited to see Nick Offerman make an appearance, I didn't imagine it would end like this.

@MunsterPlop@emacs.ch Yep, totally. It's hardcore 😁
@rckt Sublime is nice! Although having VSCode I don't see the need.

@ecadre I've played with it a little bit, it's not easy! 😁
@publicvoit lol, thanks Karl!
@mttkng excellent!
@koire That's exactly one of the reasons a colleague told me about WebStorm. Just plug and play.
But I can't possibly justify a license having VSCode available.
@rtud Cool!
@dekkzz76@emacs.ch I'm learning a lot of stuff today 😁
Didn't know it capable of doing all that.
@dekkzz76@emacs.ch :blobcatgiggle: Amen!
@boutell It is indeed 💜
I get people's arguments about Microsoft and all but you could the a fork that has no telemetry and such.
For me it's just about time/money. I'm just so much more productive with it.
@publicvoit I was giving it a try today after seeing such a huge fanbase around here.

@louis@emacs.ch Your Mastodon instance is called emacs.ch would be illegal not to use #Emacs :blobcatgiggle:

@tomassl Thanks!
@tomassl What are "asynchronous stand ups" ? :blobcatboo:
@Talonblade@mastodon.world valid argument 😎
@jr Thanks!
@CodingItWrong @mikestevens Yeah Firefox is also my main driver on my Android but the PWA support is slightly better on Chrome (big surprise). So I only use Chrome for the Mastodon PWA.
@Prof_Meowmers Cool font! 😎
@Prof_Meowmers Got it :blobcatgiggle:
Thanks for the input 💜
@Prof_Meowmers Makes sense!
What sort of customization are you referring to?
@mikestevens Found it! From one of your previous posts 😁
@mikestevens Do you have a link to GitHub or similar? Can't seem to find it with a quick search.
@CodingItWrong Makes sense, Josh. Thanks for the input.
On Android we do have push notifications with the PWA. Lucky 💜
Also agree on the design decision of the vertical icon bar, don't love it either :blobcatnotlikethis:
With that said, it not enough for me to switch to a native app :blobcattea:
:blobcateyes: I don't get all the fuzz with the Android and iOS #Mastodon apps. They only make sense to my if you manage multiple accounts 👥
The #PWA (progressive web app) out of the box works very well on #Android 🤖
It's not the best, I'd love if it kept my desktop column view on mobile. But it's a web app, nothing extra installed on my device 💜
What am I missing? :blobcatthinking:
@jr does it keep the column layout on mobile?
That's my main pain point withe out of the box Mastodon progressive web app. On desktop I have advanced view but not on mobile :blobcat_sadlife:

@Hbomberguy you can replace Publish with Toot with CSS if you're instance admin or through a browser extension injecting these few lines
@simevidas As usual I think it depends on the type of website. Most marketing websites that are presentation, sure 💜 The less JavaScript the better.
When it comes to a web app, obviously not. Doing progressive enhancement without JavaScript on a web app with forms and such it's complicated and very expensive.
@afiestas Ya-hiro is very good but you have to wait too long. Plus I think they now open less hours than before.
The one I liked it's very good. I've tried a lot of ramen in Barcelona, I've also been twice to Japan on vacation and I can recommend it 😁
Give it a try 👍
@overminddl1 I think the reason was particularly because #Pleroma does not download assets to the server. Meaning the other instances act as a CDN for pleroma servers. This model is unsustainable for large instances.
When you use Mastodon, you get all the assets downloaded and served from your instance.
@overminddl1 That's sad. I read that some admins ban based on the backend used, like if you use #Pleroma you get instant ban
@charlesroper Yes, exactly!
@null Finally! Looking forward other stuff.
The import/export of blocklist will trigger massive bans I guess. Too easy to copy and paste a list from some site.

@metadaddy Eugen just replied to the pitch 🔥 :ablobcatbongo:
@chadgoode Brave soul 😁 I was too impatient and jumped into the Mastodon wagon too early without proper research.
I wouldn't like to lose followers with a change, so I would need a new subdomain/domain but I don't really want to that either. Current domain is so clean.
My setup works fine in my VPS right now with the media assets moved to super cheap object storage. I seem to have no problems, all stable.
@angst you got it!

@mjgardner Cool! It says it uses https://github.com/glitch-soc/mastodon/ but not sure how up to date that is with the current UI for v4
I was mentioned in another post, it's too late for me :blobcat_sadlife:
@joeldebruijn That would be awesome, not sure how well it might work.
At this point I'm too invested in this setup to switch. Plus switching backend the same domain I'm told can have nuclear effects 😅

@charlesroper I like Cypress for simple stuff, it can get complex fast if you need to mock API's and stuff.
The syntax in the end it's JavaScript unfortunately, should you be looking for no-code.
It has a built-in test recorder (records clicks, keyboard strokes and such) so you can create tests easily. For less advanced users that don't want to write the tests manually.

@snarfed.org Hey Ryan, I love bridgy 💜
I wonder if there could be a way to use GitHub actions to leverage the Mastodon pings to my site, taking off load of your hosted solution.
Not sure if I'm the first to wonder about this. I guess bridgy is super big as it connects to many things. In my case I would only be interested in Mastodon.
Any thoughts? 🤔
@cr0ybot Yeah that's the key, really.
I wish there was a way to host that on GitHub Actions or similar, to not depend on Bridgy

Otherwise I'm sometimes forced to unfollow people who post about too many different topics untagged, since I only care about tech for instance.

@kabir There's a command merged to the stable (not yet released) that will delete old avatars and headers. Which are currently not deleted by any out of the box command.
If you don't care about headers (I don't) some ideas we've had:
- Replace all images by a 1x1 pixel file
- Just delete the headers folder (that's why I currently do)

@admin Thanks! :blobcatthumbsup:
@hendrik Single-user instance here and it works nice. Relays, a bunch of follows, columns for hashtags and custom lists. With the relays I get a ton of sutff. Can't complain.
@adrian@mastodon.boliston.com Thanks for the heads up!
I will stop the services to be on the safe side.

@waffles Also, thank you for The Mandalorian reference :blobcatfingerguns:
@waffles How do I ensure the restore works?
I mean it's just dumping it from the original VPS and try restoring it? or am I missing something? :blobcateyes:
@sotneStatue Thanks!
@wild1145 Excellent, thank you. That was more or less what I thought.

@admin Thank you! Wonderful links :blobcataww:

Already 6 episodes in, the photography is great. Awesome mood of the Tokyo night life. Story is interesting enough and it stars the one and only Ken Watanabe 💯
Have you watched it?
@admin @fooderick I was about to mention #netcup
I just ordered a VPS but it's taking ages to provision my server. The initial pay has to be a bank transfer (being it international Spain > Germany) unless you want to use PayPal, yuck.
It's been almost 3 days. Feels like there's a dude with a bicycle on his way to Germany with my money.
So far, not the best onboarding experience but the cost is half of #Linode and I get double the hardware specs
@DavidDarnes Right?!
In so many technical interviews we find candidates not know how to use fetch because are so used to Angular or React ways of doing it.

@Graycot :blobcateyes: Is that temperature even legal?
@vash totally, I have them in #BackBlazeB2 and that's probably the cause of the slow delete.
@admin thank you so much for the feedback 😊
@vascorsd yep, will write a blog post after I've played with it 😎
@vash Could be! I have not fined tuned the database, just out of the box.
Any good post on how to do it?
Other admins have said #BackBlaze is specially slow at deleting. This might be the simple bottleneck (I can't fix)
@vash Once a day, maybe it should be twice a day so it takes less time each run?
I not only run this one but the one about status, preview card and remove orphans. At different hours
@shelby@fauxzen.com Correct, the headers and avatars are not touched. The PR is merged and should be available in the next release.
In my case I couldn't care less about headers so I delete the whole folder. Nothing breaks. Sure the media calculation is wrong but a part from that I haven't found any issues and I'm saving a lot of GB's.
@thomas After moving to the S3 compatible storage it's running smoothly.

Thank you for the input, Jorijn 💜
Removing media files (using #backblazeB2 ) is very slow 🐌
Running the command right now says 11.000 files pending to be deleted and estimated time is 1.5 hours 😢
"tootctl media remove --days 4"
- Does this happen to you ❓
- Any idea how to speed it up ❓
@pasmac What do you mean?
Some single-user instance admins say you don't even need a CDN, that they pull directly form the S3 bucket.
Since it's actually free for my usage, I decided to use AWS CloudFront in front of the S3 bucket, to reduce even more the usage in the bucket.
Not sure if I made any sense 😁
Nice! :blobcataww:
1. Yeah once a week I go into the bucket and nuke all the headers folder 😁 I just don't want/need them
2. Also yes, I turned on the "only last version".
I don't recall changing anything else.

💡 Thinking about migrating my #VPS from #Linode to #netcup
🇩🇪 I have already Linode in a German datacenter, so that wouldn't change.
⚠️ The cost though... netcup is half the price for double the specs :blobcatthinking:
I would not only be hosting a Mastodon instance but 10 other small websites (as I currently do on Linode).
Thoughts ❓
@pasmac 3.25€ for the VPS is nice and cheap! :blobcateyes:
Definitely try moving the cached assets to a bucket :blobcatfingerguns:
@pasmac More details on their pricing here https://www.backblaze.com/b2/cloud-storage.html
@pasmac Thanks!
#backblazeB2 has no minimum fee. The $5 I mention are for #Linode
My current BackBlaze monthly total (GB, calls, downloads...) cost is 0.14€ 😁
Hope this helps!

The sync took a while for me ⌛
@matt haha Yeah, I'm also hopeful for the new command to clean out avatars and headers from inactive accounts. When will it be released? 🤷
It will surely reduce the disk usage. However, from the recent bird migrations the last few days we are experiencing an even increased activity, so even more disk space 😆
For the cost I'm seeing with my instance, I think it's a no-brainier. The setup should be less than 1 hour :blobcattea:
@matt @alexelcu I've updated the post to include what I've had to add in the Mastodon's environment file in case you needed that :blobcatthumbsup:

@losttourist I'm in the same boat (single user instance to B2's S3), just moved it two weeks ago. So far the estimated cost is 0.04$
I've added AWS's CloudFront as a CDN which might be overkill but it has an insanely high free tier (foretasted usage is 2% of the free tier 😆 )
I expect the monthly cost to be ridiculously low 💰

@NeoFox @downey I think you're in the right track NeoFox.
It's sad that the answer is "create a fork". I don't think asking for a custom favicon is too much. The word "Mastodon" is present everywhere else in the UI.
I guess you can simply upload a new asset in the public folder and do that for every release...

You ought to read #RaspberryPi today :blobcatboo:
Not going to write any takes just enjoy the show 🍿
@Robb Love it!
@matt @nobodyknows that's how #Pleroma does it. They don't store remote assets.
On one side big instances would suffer as being CDN for all smaller instances. The same way, a smaller instance with popular accounts would suffer.
It could also be if those servers were slow serving you or your users would have a degraded experience. That's one of the reasons, I think, Mastodon chose the architecture of storing everything locally.
Just guessing.
@matt @nobodyknows true, you might not even need CDN
@matt @nobodyknows that's exactly what I did. So far so good.
#BackBlaze seems to be one of the best and cheapest options. Go for it.
Don't forget a CDN. I used AWS CloudFront with their ridiculous high free tier.
@johanbove@indieweb.social it's really awesome. Just press the dot key on any repo and it redirects to the VSCode site. Amazing.
@nobodyknows @matt the whole media storage is complicated.

@elwinvaneede You've got a nice film setup. How expensive it is to process the film rolls over there?
Here is just too expensive to justify going for film. Unless you're very select and only take a few shots. In street photography is not the case 💸
@elwinvaneede Yeah man, I was struggling not to go for the X100V. Looks awesome. I was about to buy X100V instead of the Leica but there was no stock in Spain... (asked about 10 stores).
That's what pushed me to get the Leica, just two weeks before my trip.
I got it second hand in the official Spain store. Still very expensive but not as brand new. Turn out the M10 is already "deprecated" but the M11 is even more expensive. Worth it? Time will tell.
@elwinvaneede :blobcataww: Thank you, Elwin
For 10 years I used to carry around a Fujifilm x100. The first edition, the best camera I've ever owned.

@curtismchale Just left a comment 🙃 A thing that we need to fix is comment notifications (wasn't it being worked on the #WordPress core?).

Just added this, did it work? :blobcatthinking:
@YoSiJo Hey, thanks 💜
Just an hour ago I realized I had IPv6 DNS record for the domain and no NGINX for port 80
I've updated the DNS record to remove it. So it looks exactly like all my other domains.
On the other hand, should I keep the IPv6 record I'm not sure how would I'd fix the wrong cert for serving from NGINX.
@wild1145 I think it could have been something with IPv6
I've compared my other domains and .dev had it set up at the Linode Domain dashboard, for some reason.
I've removed the extra configuration (which I don't remember creating) for IPv6 and now they look the same, see if that solves it after propagation 🤞
Thank you again for the feedback 💜
@wild1145 Yep. Tried myself on FF and Safari and I do see the new cert.
@wild1145 This is very weird. The nginx site config for .dev and .social is pointing to a different cert 🤷
@wild1145 I have re-issues a certificate for the .dev domain.
Could you please try again? 🙏

@jan@geekcompass.com Thanks, it eventually refreshed. Not sure, I was checking with devTools with cache off.

Thanks Jan 💜
@jan@geekcompass.com The verified icon CSS selector is smart. I'll add that right away 😏
Thank you !
@Graycot It's on my to-do list!
The one I look forward every week is Blue Lock. It's very good.
@patrickbrosset it might be challenging but how about self hosting a personal website?
Storage might be a challenge with high res images and quantity but you'd get the clean layout you're looking for.

@kriegaffe@aus.social Yesterday I got my first #NintendoSwitch (Oled actually) with #zeldabotw
I'm a noob I know but for a game from 2017 looks fantastic.
What I've read about the new 2 #Pokemon is a little bit shameful
@SaraSoueidan I just use the web app on #Firefox works great (push notifications, etc) ✅
Nice recap! I'm taking notes 🤓 📝

@DavidDarnes no lies detected.
@Raspberry_Pi@raspberrypi.social @beasts What would be the benefit of a cloud Raspberry Pi server vs Linode or Digital Ocean?
@jeff @charlesroper lol ok 😁
@jeff @charlesroper Yeah I saw about Schiller. I guess I didn't follow #Apple back at the bird site. So maybe dropping the main bird account is not such a big deal for them.
@charlesroper Yeah, nothing on The Verge or Techcrunch 🤷
@BoomlandJenkins@universeodon.com @DavidDarnes what I really dislike about #Gatsby is that I had to add dirty hacks to make it not output #JavaScript by default.
If you want just HTML output #Hugo is better.
@DavidDarnes I've tried many things: building it with Jekyll, Hugo, WordPress... Eventually the convenience of one-click publish of #WordPress won me over.
I love the #Jamstack I do have static generated sites but not for my personal blog.
I have a confession to make...
I've purchased a #NintendoSwitch Oled 🙈 Early Christmas present 🎁
Fear not, I won't be posting about #gaming 😁 The account focus is still #Frontend and #WebDevelopment
Mastodon meta, Lists
@peter 💡 I went through the exact same thoughts but did not come to think about harassment 🤔
With following everybody but splitting into lists I've removed my out of the box Home timeline and replaced it with just lists.
@boostmarks Perhaps https://front-end.social ?
@jwisser I've been reading other users reporting as well the low quality of the release. It's a shame, really 😔

@joe Using a VPS is certainly way easier. No hardware mantainance, etc but I thought it would be fun and a learning experience 🙃
I would love to self-host #Mastodon on a #Raspberry from my home but...

@padraig I'm one of those 3000 😁
Moved from mastodon dot technology to self hosted ✌️
@billy absolutely! 😁
Was an honest question, though. I guess the native feels more snappy and smooth 🏎️
@billy the #PWA installed via #GoogleChrome works great
What makes the native app any better?
@Gima@toot.community I did try to play the original #Pokemon a few months back (#GameBoyColor) but it was too "slow". So I ended up emulating it to play it a little bit faster. I might go to hell, I know 😁
@digiphile @mathewi Good piece!
I think it's too dangerous for the journalist to huddle in the same instance. They are looking for some sort of "verification" by being in that instance, but that's just too easy to block.
Granted, you can block individual users instead. In any case this, doesn't seem very decentralized to have them all in one instance.
Why not spread around and use the built-in verification system?
@kenSwinson Ah! Good one I haven't thought about someone signing up with your deleted handle. That's no good.
@mike I have ALL my hosting there 😆
Although I've never had any issues and the support was always fast. Strange.
@xorowl yeah, definitely an improvement 🙂
@beasts interesting! Upgrading my single-user instance to 4.0.2 didn't make any improvements 🤔
@xorowl nice and dangerous at the same time that #FediAdmins might just copy and paste a list without double checking. Bloocking more than intended 🤞
@kenSwinson brave soul! I'm thinking about it but can't get to delete my account just yet. I don't use it but...
@johanbove@indieweb.social Yeah the PWA experience on #Android using #Firefox is not great 😭
For #Mastodon I had to install the #PWA via #GoogleChrome for a smoother experience. The only downside is that links open on Chrome and not Firefox 😔

@nachtfunke I'm not a fan either. I do like some utility classes for certain use cases to save on delivered CSS, avoid repeating myself but going all in, nah.

@gersande Thank you for sharing your experience with your single-user instance 💜

✅ The argument is settled, Oled it is 😁
@Muskelsmurf@masto.ai Got it! Then it's all going according to plan. Thank you! 💜
Now hopefully #NintendoSwitch will drop (even if just a little) next week for #BlackFriday 🤞
@Muskelsmurf@masto.ai I want to get a #NintendoSwitch soon, I see the lite is just 50€ cheaper than the OLED version.

@ian hello!
@Gima@toot.community valid question! At the end of the release notes you can find the upgrade step 🙂
@matt there's also the issue of perception from users who think mastodon dot social is the only Mastodon
@lee I'm always 🧐 of major releases that something has slipped by and nukes the instance 😁
@borghal nice! Let us know how it goes 😎
@matt @tchambers No idea but it's the opposite of decentralized 🙃
@tchambers I just don't get why the the big instances aren't closing to new registrations and directing people to smaller instances. Best example being mastodon social 🤔
Do they prefer to get more people in rather than giving the strange on-boarding message of "we're closed to new sign ups?"
#Mastodon v4.0.0 is here 🎉
The changelog is long 🤓 📖
Will you upgrade soon or wait a little? 🤔
@andrasbacsai Start your own single-user instance and federate with both instances? 😎

@profcarroll How am I learning about this just now!?
Thanks! 💜
@jeremyckahn I've been running my single-user instance for a couple it weeks. Storage is everything, not so much CPU or RAM. It fills up fast.
So for multiple users I would expect you have to add extra "object storage". AWS S3 usually being the cheapest, we're talking $1 for several dozen GBs, it's not so bad. VPS providers also have these.
I would not recommend having the instance open for all without a Patreon model or similar.
@jeremyckahn depends on the user size. Single-user instance probably runs fine in a 5$ Linode
@danyork So true, Dan
That's also why we need more smaller instances rather than centralize everyone on mastodon dot social
This way it's just easy to block unwanted people or federate with instances you're happy with 💜
@jan@geekcompass.com I would only find it troubling if you were sharing a DM or a meant-to-be-private communication. But a public Tweet or post? Well, it was public to begin with.
What am I missing?
@jan@geekcompass.com Totally, I find it very engaging and healthy to quote another post if you're writing your take on it. Why not?

Mastodon server tuning
@nolan The worst part so far is disk space for cache on remote media, avatars and headers.
Avatars and headers seem to never get purged, it just keeps on filling up 🙄
I ended up doing a bash script to replace all header files with a 1x1 pixel to save space. As I don't really care for user headers.
Mastodon server tuning
@nolan Thank you for sharing this, Nolan!
I haven't felt the Sidekiq memory leak in my single-user instance yet but I'll add the auto restart regardless.
Fun episode of #TWiG today
Specially loved the first part with @leo advocating so strongly for the #Fediverse
@conradhackett Surprised about the 4% from Spain, I thought it was mandatory until 16 years old to do English besides Spanish (plus Catalan, Galician or Basque. Depending on the region you live in). Meaning a kid from Barcelona will learn at least 3 languages at public school, by law.

@parvXm@mastodon.social nice, I haven't thought about it. What's cleaner to maintain?
Like if I want the headers back I can just run the account refresh task. With the symlink probably not? 🧐

@chriscoyier Love it!
@ryan I'm not entirely sure what `tootctl cache clear` does, though.

Do you have more info on how that one works Ryan?

@jbinto That's odd, it's true that I did create a certificate with different domain names in one go but... 🤔
@jbinto hm! I don't see that with Firefox, nor Safari.
What are you using?
I'll check it out, thank you for the heads up!
@jbinto I would think so. I've read you can install different FE UI's.
I would also imagine there must be apps that suppor it. I usually just go with a PWA via browser in both mobile and desktop.
@jbinto The only thing to consider is if you really need #Mastodon or if you can go with #Pleroma
I am now too invested to move but Pleroma even if the UI is not as great is very lightweight.
Keeping Mastodon lean and not taking the whole disk is not trivial. Wrote about this today: https://ricard.dev/improving-mastodons-disk-usage/
@jbinto Nice!
- Hashtags work fine on my instance, I can search for them and pin them in columns.
- You can add "relays" to populate your federated timeline. The best way, however is to start following people (see who they follow and go down the rabbit hole)
- You can easily mute or suspend instances from interacting with your from the Admin dashboard
@RachaelKJones Not great only 10.536 words so far. I'm a first-timer 😊
@lonekorean Such a clean setup! Inspiring 🙂
@borghal Thanks Borghal! I would love an admin flag to turn off remote headers and/or avatars altogether
@Edent That's also a very interesting idea. I assume it would take lots of resources to run through the thousands of images and re-compress them.
@Edent You mean the remote images or the local?
I have just 1 local header (mine) the rest are all remote. It's just too much.
I've read GitHub comments from admins dealing with hundreds of GB's.

@AlanBell Hi there! 😃
@hugh Hey Hugh, I was wondering if you had solved or found any way to improve the "account headers cache" situation on a Mastodon instance.
Reading your post on GH https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/9567#issuecomment-1301641548
Thanks
@fell Thanks, Fell!
@fell Any tips? Did you migrate your account? Started from scratch?
Thank you
@jan@geekcompass.com I just don't get it. We have built-in process for status and media, but not avatars+headers.
So I think there's no other way around this but to move to #Pleroma
@wouter Thanks for the feedback!
@robert I had no idea, I want to believe what matters is the content. I would imagine someone who finds you using Mastodon interface wouldn't even know you're on Pleroma.
@robert Thank you for jumping in Robert. I really want to self host, though :)
Can you elaborate on what made you stick with Mastodon?
I'm not a power user, not sure what Mastodon features I would be losing if moving to Pleroma. I just check my home feed and replies.
@techpriest Thank you so much for the fast response.
That's unfortunate. I guess starting clean is the best option. I don't have many following, I can re-follow them manually.
I don't know what the migration script is supposed to do when finished. Followers? Following?
My only concern is followers, I'd love not to lose them but maybe that's the price I have to pay.
@mike That's awesome Mike!
I'd love to follow up on your progress 🙏
My naive thought was that if you create a #Pleroma instance with the same account name and domain name, that the Mastodon followers wouldn't notice the difference. Maybe that's wishful thinking.
I don't mind nuking my Mastodon instance and starting a clean Pleroma from scratch (no need for migration scripts). My only concern is keeping the followers.
I'm quite surprised there's no easy way to clean Mastodon's remove users avatars and headers.
I'm a single-user instance and I'm already at 2GB of just that, avatar and headers (not counting regular media and previews).
This doesn't look good 😕
@techpriest Hey noirscape, I saw your GH issue about Mastodon space and how you ended up migrating to Pleroma 🔥
Would you have a blog post or tips on how to do a migration in the same server/domain?
Is it possible to do a swap without losing followers, etc?
Thank you

@timnolte last bit of advice, check out https://pleroma.social first. It more lightweight than Mastodon.
I would have gone with it if I had known before getting started.
@timnolte if you're up for the challenge using Linode or Digital Ocean will be cheaper and more fun 😁
@timnolte I had a 1GB 1CPU already hosting a dozen websites and had to upgrade it to a 2GB 1CPU but... Maybe if you use the docker image and it's the only thing in it, it might work (I built it from source, which takes a little more resources than docker)
I assume it will be a single user instance?
@ryan I think you can simply add a link with "rel=me" in a widget or somewhere else (no plugins). At least that's why I've done it in mine https://ricard.blog

@autiomaa Fork is also awesome 😎👍 my go-to as well for GUI
@autiomaa Heck yeah, go for it.
I concur! Obsidian is awesome ❤️ I use it for work everyday.
I store the .md files in a Git repo and it's double the awesome 👌
@cryptoversal I have the false hope (😂) of catching up to the goal during the weekend.
This is my first attempt. Not off to a great start 🐢
How do you guys find time to write when working a full time job + errands + chores? This is tough 😄

@alanbell will you be setting your own production instance in the near future?
@autiomaa do you post that on your blog or it's all private?
@mathew the best feeling!
@haikushack@mastodon.social https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fediverse
@KelsonV could not go through season 1. I don't know, the main character was so unappealing to me.
@nebulos I just started #NaNoWriMo today and your tip on "Fix it later" resonates with that happened with me today 💯
I'll apply this from tomorrow on. No edit, just vomit everything, let's go 🔥 😁
@rauschma Amen! I've been advocating for this for years. I just don't get why people spend so much time in this great threads and not put them also on their blogs... Such a waste! 😁
@jan@geekcompass.com subscribed! Nice blog 😊👍
@jan@geekcompass.com @matthiasott this is the old "blog roll" where we used to link to other blogs from our sidebars. Good times.
@harris would love to read more about security (specially #webSecurity )
@neil if people need encrypted communication, Fediverse is not it I think.
Don't we most of us use the #Fediverse as a public forum (?)
I would like to see people making the argument of spreading across instances rather than all join Mastodon.social 🙄
@matthiasott I have too many personal sites (I might have a problem 🙈 )

@nemorosa thank you 😊
@ksawyer@mastodon.online 3rd person to recommend it, Thanks Sawyer!
Today I learned about this #HTML attribute:
"The autocapitalize global attribute is an enumerated attribute that controls whether and how text input is automatically capitalized as it is entered/edited by the user"
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Global_attributes/autocapitalize
@purplequeennl Thank you, Miranda! I'll check out Scrivener 😊
@grrrr_shark I started today! I need to catch up. It's my first attempt 😁
@missytwrites Thanks Missy!
@paulkater thanks Paul, I'll give it a go! 🔥
@benjaminhollon @freedomtowrite thanks, not sure if it's just easier raw markdown files, but I do need spell checking 😅
@benjaminhollon do you have any recommendations that is not vim? 😁
It's November 2nd, am I too late to attempt #NaNoWriMo ? 🤔
What are the best tools? What do you use? Like for word counting, time tracking...
(Google Docs? Markdown files? Other?)
@mike Oh, I see. But why? 😅 I mean, why not just use the .social instance? Why split the users 🤔
@mike is it hosted next to Mastodon.social ?
What am I missing?
@larsmb @Tim_Boettcher Right mastodon.online is on v4.0.0rc1 😎
@Tim_Boettcher For now if you're using the web ui you can pin a new column with that hashtag search. Perhaps even cleaner than having everything in your Home timeline 💡
@Tim_Boettcher True, I also can't from the "advanced web interface" on the web.
Maybe it's related to the version of Mastodon? Although I'm running the latest stable 🤔
@zalasur 😆 I'm not too close or I would too. But from a safe distance, man 🤭
How can you not grab 🍿 and enjoy the show right now? 😁
🇰🇷 🇪🇸 New Korean Tapas episode!
Episode 21: K-pop
One year anniversary and we recorded this in #Seoul ❤️ Have a listen, all the links on our website:
@Graycot What a beast! Also the landing of the modules later, they make it look so easy.
@boilingsteam Hard to choose just one option!
@matthiasott @edsu Have you checked out Actionsflow?
Very powerful to do the same thing (and more) using GitHub actions, so nothing installed on your machine
@jwisser lol yes, I got back to it every few months 😆
@defries Cache all the things 😁
@atomicpoet I created my single-user Mastodon instance and now I think I made a mistake. It should have been a #Pleroma
I can't find any good docs on how could I swap do the swap on the same domain/server.
Ideas?
@benjaminhollon Appreciate it! Thanks
@benjaminhollon It's so hard to find Spanish ISO if you don't want to mess with soldering and such 😔
Any tips or recommendations?
@ericjmorey I just love to use the web view, I avoid native apps as much as possible 😁
@youronlyone Now I wonder if perhaps I made a mistake creating my own Mastodon instance when there were more lightweight options to achieve the same goal 🤔
@matthiasott Good call!

"Twitter is planning to start charging $20 per month for verification"
"And if the employees building it don’t meet their deadline, they’ll be fired by Elon Musk."
@be agreed. Using extensible config files and such also help. As you mention, zero hardcoding or magic numbers. Move everything to variables that can be configured
@niconiconi I did try Colemak, was not easy especially coming from Spanish ISO. In the end I had to revert as I needed to be productive at work 😅
@matthiasott 100% I have also a couple of blog posts about it. It's just so essential.
Still, not everybody does the effort to get their own space.
@CodingItWrong There must be a technical reason behind it? Or just UI/UX?
Oh my, what happened in #Seoul
I was in that area ( #Itaewon ) just this week 😟

"This release marks the transition of Node.js 18.x into Long Term Support (LTS) "
Always re-inventing the wheel man, I just wish all these efforts could go into making #webpack faster instead of creating something from scratch that we'll have to migrate to eventually
I just had the fastest airport security check in my life. I just went through in less than 5 min. I was alone. Mind you I'm at Incheon (Seoul), one of the biggest in the world.
birdsite
@technomancy haha let it burn 🔥
@ifixcoinops solid advice!
Regarding content, though. If it's something worth keeping maybe it should go into your blog as well as Mastodon.
On my way to Incheon airport, to leave Seoul and South Korea behind 🇰🇷🫰
Time to go back to Barcelona ✈️
@robertbrook@mastodon.me.uk you just gave me an idea, thank you for that Robert!
@lil5 Beautiful!

@Graycot Oh wow, will be installing this next week once I'm back to work 🔥
@james yep, totally. When I was on Mastodon Technology there was no point in following it. Too much.
@baldur That's awesome :)
@baldur oh wow, congrats! How long into the making? Could see it mentioned on the post
@timnolte awesome! So far I've just set the registrar's alias feature. Working well.
Thank you for sharing Tim
@Graycot this seems to be a popular tactic. Thanks Gray!

It's gotta be easier to code for #GitHub when the users, developers, tend to use the the latest (or even beta channels).
It's harder with regular customers stuck at #IE11 💀
Thankfully the customer I mostly work for dropped support for IE11. Now we're stuck with an "old" Safari, AKA "the new IE" 🤦♂️

@volpeon darn, these are impressive
@ryan Definitely! Thanks for the tip
@CodingItWrong Nice!

💡 I didn't think that Since I'm the only user in my instance the Federated timeline is just like Home timeline.
It's a little bit harder to find new people to follow than in a bigger multi-user instance.
[/Mastodon]
@jan@geekcompass.com isn't that always the best? I love it when we own our content 😊
@amoroso if mostly everyone goes to one instance isn't that recipe for disaster? Might happen the same as it did on Mastodon.Technology
@pepicrft@mastodon.technology Took this chance to spawn my own instance 😁
@raccoon The racoon graphic kicks ass.
If I want to own my email domain but forward everything to my Gmail account to use as email client (spam filter and whatnot)
What's the best setup? AWS SES free-tier? Self-hosted?
@CodingItWrong In on vacation in Seoul (South Korea) right now and it's the same
I never get to 8.000 back home but here it's at least 20.000 every day.
It's the price to pay for a good food afterwards 🤤

"Back at the office" thoughts
@zalasur I have moved to a hybrid setup where I go to the office maybe 1 day a week. Funny enough I'm no longer productive when I go. To get things done, home is where it's at 😁
The old architecture still works. Separate CSS and #JavaScript , inline critical render path, etc.
I never liked #CSS in #JS. Do you?

"TikTok is strongly pushing back against a Forbes report alleging that its parent company wanted to use the video app to “monitor the personal location of some specific American citizens.” In a series of tweets, TikTok accused Forbes of leaving off a vital part of its statement."

I recently setup a pull CDN for my photography blog using #AWS Cloudfront's free tier 💰
1TB of data transfer out, for free. Always. It's just awesome.
That's just awesome. I just did the same. Wasn't super straight forward but I think I've managed! 🥳
First Toot from my very own Mastodon instance 🥳
