Mad props to the makers of this decentralized service for thinking about account migration. I am giving it a try to finally move to our own instance.

Starting now, find me at @astro@c3d2.social

@vautee "Damals"? Ich hatte erst letzte Woche wieder einen kaputten File-Transfer von jemandem auf dem Server.

@ordnung Danke für die Dezentralitätsförderungsmaßnahmen. So entsteht hier wenigstens kein zweites jabber.ccc.de.

This feels appropriate for the second thing I've ever posted to mastodon.

Hmmm, ich mag eigentlich nicht automatisiert das Fediverse zuspammen. Lieber wären mir konkrete Hinweise an HTML+CSS.

Mastodon Gold gives you a lot more timelines wow

The literal #Penis is trending now. I am conceiving filter algorithms...

Julia Fischer, eine der weltweit besten Geigerinnen, mit einem Statement zur Störung ihres Konzerts in der #Elbphilharmonie durch Klimaaktivist·innen. Da ist kein Wort zu wenig und keines zu viel. Respekt.

Oh good lord, I have just read somebody posting that the response to the thundering herd of activitypub instances fetching link previews from a site is "use cloudflare because it's free".

1. Do not use Cloudflare. They support Nazis.

2. A better design for mastodon/pleroma/etc is to pass link previews along when they pass post content along. Fall back to fetching from the source when that isn't available.

3. Centralization has a lot of benefits. This is one example. It's harder to be decentralized; work is repeated.

I was asked about selling the computer bricks in kit form, and gave the same answer I've given before - that the assembly process is really fiddly, requires materials that most people don't have at hand, and is very challenging to get right on the first attempt.
But what if I made just the circuitry available as a kit? Would anybody be interested in this as an object in its own right? It clips on to Lego studs & has two capacitive touch buttons, a 72x40 screen, and an RP2040 stuffed inside it.

@Raspberry_Pi More #Rustlang 🦀 just in the kernel, or even in an open VideoBIOS?

Remember What They Took From You.

#FediBuzz with images preview. Opinions?

WLAN in der Bahn - wie cool ist das denn?! Bin heute mit der neuen Stadtbahn gefahren - und es geht! Problemlos!

Da red ich mir seit 2014 in allen Gremien den Mund fusselig - und jetzt wird ein Traum einfach wahr.

Danke @dvbag Ich freu mich!

I am very happy that by now my Skyflake project has its first user, git-pushing their #NixOS configuration into a #Nomad cluster: https://github.com/astro/skyflake

Als Gegenprotest zur #LetztenGeneration klebt sich Söder an einen Baum.

Since Mastodon saw its initial popularity circa 2017, I've noticed that most users and those reporting on it either don't think about the Fediverse as anything more than Mastodon, or treat its history as beginning with Eugen Rochko and the beginning of Mastodon. In fact, Mastodon is the latest in a long line of federated social networks going at least back to Identi.ca, and though I wasn't around for all of it, I find this history pretty interesting. (Thread; boosts welcome!)
