Just added another complexity to the homelab. My cable internet connection is spotty at best, going down several times a week. It's not just my house, it affects the whole neighborhood.

It's happened so often I got a backup cellular wifi setup. Tonight, I setup a failover switch (TP Link […]

The GoToSocial post import tool, slurp, now supports BlueSky post and media imports, backdated and all. I even used a custom PDS.

My Obisdian entries have turned from home lab run books to dear diary entries for my mental health. It’s doing a good job with both. And sometimes they are related.

I thought Mastodon's quote post controls were extensive...these are "boundaries" that can be set in Bonfire for your posts. Not to mention the roll your own "Custom Boundaries". Mix and Match!

I question how these boundaries federate, are they honored across […]

Yes it’s true, AltStore is joining the Fediverse 🥳

Developers can now federate apps, updates, and news alerts to the open social web via our custom Mastodon server, and all likes, boosts, and comments will appear natively in AltStore.

We plan to release this officially soon — but you can check […]

@box464 The best hint for starting to build a timeline that you are interested in is finding #hashtags that you want to follow. That will give you a lot of things that will generally fit your interests, and from there you can start pruning using mute and block as needed.

Your timeline is what you want it to be on fedi. You build it. You MOLD it, like a piece of clay. It takes time. It takes effort. You'll have to mute sometimes. You likely will have to block. Don't give up.

It's worth it. Art. Code. Gaming. Books. Pot Belly Pigs. Death Metal. Whatever your […]

@Gargron The objective of the task force is to improve the ActivityPub API and make it more usable for general-purpose social clients. I'm mining your comment for features you noted that are missing from the API, like search and autocomplete.
