We're just a week away from #AWS re:Invent 2022. This year I am participating in PeerTalk, a new program that allows you to use the AWS mobile app to book time with me or 50 other AWS experts.

Read the Bob Eiger Disney memoir a year or so ago. Was excellent and I’d highly recommend. And in true Disney fashion, sounds like there will be a sequel.

Photo memory... A fountain I saw near the Louvre during a visit several years ago. #photography #paris
@thomasfuchs Very nice. My exposures are always loaded with starlink satellites.
Oddly, however, while I can add alt-text when submitting a post, the Mastodon iPhone app doesn’t seem to show it anywhere when scrolling. Reading the captions seems to be website feature only…?
Favorite feature of Mastodon is the alt-text for photo captions. I guess this has existed in other social platforms but I’ve never used it. Now I find myself spending more time thinking about my photo caption than I do my post. Love the accessibility and reading the photo captions whenever I come across them in others’ posts. 😎
Back from morning run. Cool down is faster when it’s 28°F. Beautiful Sunday in the neighborhood.
My heart is broken for Colorado Springs.
LGBTQ+ people are nearly four times more likely than non-LGBTQ+ people to experience violent victimization.
And Anti-LGBTQ+ emboldens extremists to violence.
This must end. Now.
It's game night! Tonight going back to a great indie game I picked up a couple years ago, RimWorld, a SciFi colony sim. My starting colonists have a few questionable traits: Pyromaniac, Wimpy, and Cannibal. But other than that, everything is fine. 😎 🔥 #gaming https://rimworldgame.com/
Looks like all plans on masto.host are temporarily unavailable. When they have more capacity, I'm thinking about setting up a general instance focused on Minnesota (people who live here and people who just recognize how awesome we are). Trying to get a feel for size... Would you sign up for a #Minnesota general instance? (Plz boost to find my Minnesotans)
@MNMinn Might want to check out some other hosting options as well, and maybe even building out your own instance on your favorite of the big cloud providers. I haven't tried masto but they have some worthwhile reading in their blog.
I've been trying to think whether my former band #ThunderingAsteroids ever did a song that would be appropriate to express my thoughts about #Twitter #Birdsite. I think Frak Off gets close #punk #NerdPunk #music

Excellent reading on running a Mastodon instance... https://rixx.de/blog/on-running-a-mastodon-instance/
Holiday project will be experimenting with setting up Mastodon instance on #AWS. Not looking to run my own instance, just want to learn how it works.
Daughter got tickets to Taylor Swift #TSErasTour and now I’m going to be pretty unhappy if she actually goes to the concert instead of scalping them and building me a guest house on her estate with the proceeds.

@davew Yep, yep I do see it. Hopefully just a waiting game, then. For me it was ~2 days. Checking notes... I added the link on 6 Nov, and saw the link had turned green for verified on the 8th. No notifications, it just happened. Hopefully just some slowness in the system right now.
