Say hello, I will not eat you! it's a social network. I've been elsewhere on the fediverse since Nov 2022. This is my new profile since Dec'24.

@jcrabapple Worst job. I get a man in to do it
I've never been a #cider drinker, but a few weeks ago I tried it in our local village pub. It was Orchard Pig, and I really enjoyed it. Nice and refreshing. I am now trying a few others at home. So far I have concluded I do not like the fruity ones -- strawberry, raspberry, etc
These two were tonight's experiment. I prefer the Aspall. Typical, as it is the most expensive of the two.
A Busy Bee is a happy bee :bumble:
I run the following services for us all to enjoy:
For the #Fediverse:
* #Sharkey: ibe.social
* #Pixelfed: pixelfed.scot
* #GoToSocial: gofer.social
* A #Phanpy client: phanpy.app
Non-Fedi:
* A #Readeck server: readeck.app
* A #Gitea server: git.ozol.cloud
* The Wiki for the fediverse: thefedi.wiki
I also 'admin' on two Mastodon servers in my spare(!) time. :beewinking:
A rather breezy, but warm day, at Salobreña in Southern Spain. The waves were lively
Un día algo ventoso, pero cálido, en Salobreña, en el sur de España. Las olas estaban animadas
@oakelmash very nice
@axxuy Awesome. Thanks for taking part in #Pointless10. I've updated my original post with a link to your blog
I blogged about Self-hosting
With self-hosting comes extra responsibility.

@emsquared good grief. I'll not be visiting. Haha.
Well I guess I could bring tea!
Well that's a first. Today, after almost 2½ years on the fediverse, I've blocked a follower. A profile of a man playing with his little willy. I don't mind what people do, or are, I'll chat to anyone. But I don't need to see his hobby upfront, with no introduction. 😳
@Dolphinchaz I read this earlier. Was shouting at my screen with a similar message.
@emsquared as in Cup, or the cupboard is bare?
Some words of wisdom if you are considering self-hosting
Self Hosting is Not Always the Answer
There are many things to consider, and it's not for everyone. But it can be fun.

@losttourist there's a lot of hairspray involved in that look.
@stefan you still get adverts if you subscribe 😯
This is unpopular opinion, but for Firefox to live, Mozilla, as it currently operates, needs to die.
They forgot their core user base hates cloud and AI features. They want a simple browser that connects to web servers and displays pages. Meanwhile, executive are getting fat salaries and bounces while begging users for money on AI and other privacy intrusion projects like adding perplexity directly to Firefox. They lost their vision long time ago.
I’m not a psychologist.
But Trump’s malignant narcissism seems plain.
I’m not a lawyer.
But the collapse of checks and balances and the resultant constitutional crisis seems plain.
I’m not an economist.
But the hollowing out of the public sector for the benefit of corporations and billionaires seems plain.
I am an historian.
And the convergence of these forces has never ended well.
Midnight in America.
@julian absolutely. In my head Friday starts it off. Go for it
