@ayo Since you mention this... Do you know of any Mastodon UI (mobile app or web app) that handles multiple columns well?
I use the "deck" desktop view. I have lists, hashtag searches... I have a total of 9 columns.
I'm currently using the forced "desktop view" when accessing the deck directly on the phone browser. Not ideal.
While setting up the new MacBook for work, I noticed some of the things that don't work, after Googling, usually get fixed by "turn it off and on again".
Things like MacOS using the correct settings for defaults, or the iCloud mess for linked devices.
Yes, the good old "sign out and in again". I shouldn't be surprised, but I am.
Tofu, kimchi, and pork belly.
This is a staple of Korean food. It's spicy, but it's so authentic.

Catastrophic cliffhanger, as a friend puts it.
The sparring fight seemed useless since Jinwoo can use a freaking army. If he would use everything Goto would be dead in a second, with Igris, Iron, and altogether against him. Plus his daggers.

@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 โ
I will share photos here with this Mastodon account. Easier, done โ

@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 ๐คท

I have executed "feeds build" for #Mastodon and some lists are still empty of posts ๐ค
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 ๐ค
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@tech.lgbt 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@tech.lgbt 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@tech.lgbt 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 ๐ค
@risottobias@tech.lgbt 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?

@andyy Indeed, it seems it goes out to Pixel devices next week ๐
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.

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 1โฌ.
In the past they gave me a book for free (like 8โฌ) when I wanted to return it when I purchased in the wrong language.
Amazon seems to have changed their policy ๐

Amazon said no, I need to return it and order it again ๐ฎ
They are willing to do the whole return and ship it again (Amazon Prime) for 1โฌ difference ๐ฒ

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 ๐
@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 ๐
Every few months I'm like "should I change my blog stack again?"

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).

@trashmuppet Should we be glad he changed genre to sports? ๐
@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 ๐ซฃ
What's the manga name?
@stefan I'd also be interested ๐ก
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:

I am very slowly digesting the manga. I gotta say I've never watched the anime, just a few episodes.

Loved #JujutsuKaisen season 2 of the #anime
I have started the #manga I'm on volume 2 (I'm a slow reader ๐). It's also great. I can't wait to catch up to where the anime left off and see what's next for the story.
@okokokok agreed, I also thought that war arc was so over the top.
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.
The power during the war and the black hole balls of pure chakra obliterating continents... Not so much.

@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.

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?

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?).

@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.

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.

@mondanzo@uwuwatch.club It's different. The cache retention deletes everything (posts you've liked, bookmarked, etc).
There's a PR to amend the text so it's easier to understand.
The CLI commands are way more refined and only delete stuff you haven't interacted with, 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.

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?

@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 ๐
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:

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?

@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 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?

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:

@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, Gรผnter? ๐
@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 โ

@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 ๐ฎ 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 ๐
@pixelcode I see it now ๐ โ
@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? ๐
@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.

@leah Awesome post, Leah. So much to digest ๐จโ๐
@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.

@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!

"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 ๐
@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.

@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 ๐ 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 ๐
Give it a try ๐
@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.

@chadgoode Brave soul ๐ I was too impatient and jumped into the Mastodon wagon too early without proper research.

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.

- Any idea how to speed it up โ
@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 ๐
Nice! :blobcataww:
1. Yeah once a week I go into the bucket and nuke all the headers folder ๐ I just don't want/need them
2. Also yes, I turned on the "only last version".
I don't recall changing anything else.

@jalmari I've pulled the trigger and ordered a VPS :blobcatfingerguns:
Will give this a try next week :ablobcatbongo:
๐ก Thinking about migrating my #VPS from #Linode to #netcup
๐ฉ๐ช I have already Linode in a German datacenter, so that wouldn't change.
โ ๏ธ 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 โ
@pasmac 3.25โฌ 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 0.14โฌ ๐

@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? ๐คท
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 ๐

@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 ๐ฟ
@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.

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.

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 ๐ค

@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?

@profcarroll How am I learning about this just now!?
Thanks! ๐
@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 ๐
@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.

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 ๐
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.

@jbinto That's odd, it's true that I did create a certificate with different domain names in one go but... ๐ค
@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 ๐
@lonekorean Such a clean setup! Inspiring ๐
@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.

@AlanBell Hi there! ๐
@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 ๐
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 ๐
@techpriest Hey noirscape, I saw your GH issue about Mastodon space and how you ended up migrating to Pleroma ๐ฅ
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 ๐
@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?

@paulkater@mstdn.social thanks Paul, I'll give it a go! ๐ฅ
@benjaminhollon @freedomtowrite thanks, not sure if it's just easier raw markdown files, but I do need spell checking ๐
@benjaminhollon do you have any recommendations that is not vim? ๐
It's November 2nd, am I too late to attempt #NaNoWriMo ? ๐ค
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? ๐ I mean, why not just use the .social instance? Why split the users ๐ค
@mike is it hosted next to Mastodon.social ?
What am I missing?
@larsmb @Tim_Boettcher Right mastodon.online is on v4.0.0rc1 ๐
@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 ๐ก
@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 ๐ค
@zalasur ๐ I'm not too close or I would too. But from a safe distance, man ๐คญ
How can you not grab ๐ฟ and enjoy the show right now? ๐

Episode 21: K-pop
One year anniversary and we recorded this in #Seoul โค๏ธ 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 ๐
@defries Cache all the things ๐
@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 ๐
Any tips or recommendations?
@ericjmorey I just love to use the web view, I avoid native apps as much as possible ๐
@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 ๐ค
@matthiasott Good call!

"Twitter is planning to start charging $20 per month for verification"
"And if the employees building it donโt meet their deadline, theyโll 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 ๐
@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 ๐

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.

@technomancy haha let it burn ๐ฅ
@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 ๐ฐ๐ท๐ซฐ
Time to go back to Barcelona โ๏ธ
@robertbrook@mastodon.me.uk you just gave me an idea, thank you for that Robert!

@Graycot Oh wow, will be installing this next week once I'm back to work ๐ฅ
@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 ๐
Thankfully the customer I mostly work for dropped support for IE11. Now we're stuck with an "old" Safari, AKA "the new IE" ๐คฆโโ๏ธ

๐ก 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 ๐
@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 ๐
@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)

"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 ๐
The old architecture still works. Separate CSS and #JavaScript , inline critical render path, etc.
I never liked #CSS in #JS. Do you?

That's just awesome. I just did the same. Wasn't super straight forward but I think I've managed! ๐ฅณ
