Just got through with today’s vet visit.

Cat is somehow more anemic which is not what we expected so he can’t get his teeth out.

We’ve done oral flea meds & are doing oral steroids + pain meds now to see if there’s any chance we can get things under control.

If I’m unresponsive at some point…

Occasionally you see something both mundane yet awesome and capture some essence of it in a photo.

I have a collection of mismatched glassware & cut crystal. The colors reflecting from the tv on this wine glass suddenly made it look a bit iridescent.

Less Mastodon, more future-proofing.

I'm more in a tangent here. If someone used zeppelin.social/profile/hila...
in a post for example, it doesn't redirect if you are in bsky.app or blacksky.community or deer.social

I mean ... there is a point with regards to link rot & related. Redirects for parts of urls when on other appviews? Everyone just tell me if I say something that doesn't make sense.

But I've been thinking about link rot a lot lately as I've sorted some old bookmarks.

If you use Tidal - the Musicology playlists are good stuff:
tidal.com/search/playl...

For example listen to different playlists with different types of guitar. Or other equipment.

This ... seems like it should be obvious and isn't? TIL

Progress 👀

Correct! This week we built a fallback mechanism to query slingshot, constellation, and the PDS directly.

For now it is limited "read only". Soon enough you'll be able to interact with Link on blacksky.community

The larger tomatoes could at least become fried green tomatoes if they don’t make it to fully ripe before the weather shifts too.

Theee more round and bubbly larger tomatoes on vine.

Hilary Baumann 💻 🥃 @hilarybaumann.com · 13h

I just might get some tomatoes this year!

A bunch of oblong tomatoes with one orange, one light orange, and about five green. They almost look like grapes.

There’s a significant amount of revisionist history out there on this. The reddit discussion I saw looked like outright lies intended to make things worse also.

Plus there were several back to back dramas that made things worse.

I have some notes somewhere about setting up cellular extenders if you're there for awhile. (Not worth it if this is very temporary.)

I have some other notes somewhere else about camper van stuff with either cellular or I think a French owned satellite company that works in the US.

I watched a neighbor do something like this and to this day I question if that side of that house where the shrub was has been sinking a bit because there were a lot of roots (the truck finally won the battle against the shrub.) 🫠

Totally get this as well. I know the DMs are not on ATProto so I don’t know how much additional attention they are getting just yet so figured the workarounds were worth mentioning just in case.

I’ve been using share links from Google drive and Dropbox to work around this.

Right now you can self host your PDS (the content storage) but a lot of the “front end” isn’t even hosted with Bluesky so you have to trust that those interfaces will remain online.

It’s still early days and I suspect this will shift and evolve. (Leaflet is doing a lot of good work.)

Ghost.io is probably the closest to Substack af the moment in terms of being able to monetize and self host on a Digital Ocean droplet (they also have hosted options but I know some people have had issues there so donate and self host is better for some.)

Hmmm… knowing what I know about how the data looks I think this could make sense but also feels like it falls into the category of “found a bug.”

Yeah I think I’m on somehow both a “porn” and “not porn” list (unless those accounts left or were banned.)

I find it interesting what people choose to do but I don’t worry about it too much. I might if it were someone I’m mutuals/regular chats with and they were blatantly wrong.

* all … alls 🤦‍♀️

Hilary Baumann 💻 🥃 @hilarybaumann.com · 2d

I think everyone is labeled by the cave. And it’s alls weird things that make no sense.

Hilary Baumann 💻 🥃 @hilarybaumann.com · 2d

Yeah but I don’t have any mute words related so I’m seeing it sans filter but also not in the profile main feed in the expected place time wise… (my word choice may be terrible, my head hurts.)

@mackuba.eu do you have any tools for this? It’s not the account so I can’t just look at the label scanner. And it’s not a completely hidden post.
