@pinkprius @globalc my “client” takes my blog posts and pushes them to twitter and mastodon. And I don’t know if I remember in a month that I am not allowed to post anything about the virus because of the mastodon-server. And in a year it is another topic people have problems with.

2020-04-20

@pinkprius @globalc in the end it means I really have to use mastodon or give it up if I don’t use mastodon enough to keep up with eventual arbitrary rule changes.

2020-04-20

@globalc I won’t run my own server. And yes, servers can decide for their own rules. I won’t run my own because that is more work than I want to do. Thus I’d rather give up on mastodon than searching for a new server, moving my account again etc.I thought giving up on micro-blogging/blogging completely. So this might be a first step.

2020-04-20

So, the mastodon-server I am using wants me to use content warnings if I post something about covid-19. The cross post-bot from micro.blog doesn’t let me do it. So I will have to leave the server or at least won’t use it anymore for posting. Well. Bye Mastodon.

@ak then do that

2020-04-19

@ak cannot do that, I cross post from and I cannot set individual posts behind content warnings. I am not even sure if I can set everything behind a content warning.

The mortality rate of COVID-19 makes me worry. But the permanent lung damage even light cases can have make me worry even more.

@frumble na ja, wenn es auf Disney+ kommt, werde ich es mir mal anschauen

@truhe ich hab meine Kindheit im Saarland verbracht und bin erst mit 10 nach Berlin gekommen

2020-04-19

@rugk ja. Sorry für die späte Rückmeldung. Mein Client hat keine Notification geschickt

Lese in einer Twitter-Bio “kritischer Bürger” und mir fehlen die nicht-abelistischen Worte um meine Vorurteile auszudrücken.

Well, I hope Rise of Skywalker is better than the last two. At least this trilogy is better than the prequels.
But I really like The Mandalorian. It is so much better than the movies.

2020-04-18

Rey, Super-Jedi. It still feels wrong. But maybe my knowledge of Star Wars is just sub-par.

2020-04-18

Watching The Last Jedi the first time and ehm… is it me or is The Mandalorian better than Force Awakens and Last Jedi?

My son says he had no white bricks/parts to build a wind generator. I think it is a very morbid wind generator…
Oh and Tzimisce would love it…

Great. The latest beta of the password-manager I am using on iOS won’t accept the password of my private hog-key anymore and is therefore unable to decrypt any passwords. Awesome way to start into the weekend -.-

The end of a normal lockdown evening. I hope I will be able to perform in front of people again from time to time. #magic

When I want to distribute the softirqs of network load over multiple cpus: do I need a network driver/card that supports multi queuing or is it enough to change smp_affinity for the irq? Any recommendations what to read about this topic? #linux #network #tuning

Sometimes when I read news from the US I have suddenly the image in my head from when I was a child or teenager and what I thought about the US back then. It was kind of a land of dreams, now I would think twice if I even would want to do a vacation there. It sounds so broken.
