@zhenech I’ll TIL. Thanks!

Phew! A hard hour of following done, time for bed. Excited to see what kind of timeline I wake up to.

Excellent. After a bit of messing around, I'm discoverable on Fedi via a search for @jon@dow.land

@tufty welcome!

@goatless welcome

Can anyone recommend a Fediverse instance which is friendly for hosting bots? I've got an idea for one

re: Debian packages
@kravietz what was the sum for the troublesome file in the changes file?

@sam for me, it wasn’t so much the latent resource usage but the pain with updating it, so I stopped

Debian packages
@kravietz do you have a .changes file as well?

@neil I’ve been blogging since 1999. Free software, computing research/phd life, a bit about 3d printing, and recently a lot about music https://jmtd.net/log/

@neil just HTML please: that’s what it was invented for

@rrustema @neil it’s smaller than an A4 page. Two column academic papers on it are a little squinty

@fraggle I hadn't realised you left the big G! I'm behind the news.

Despite deciding to settle on mastodon.social for Fedi, since that instance is overwhelmed I thought I'd use this one for a bit. Sadly, API for follower_import is broken :-(

Sigh. Just attempted to redirect my other instance @Jmtd here and make this my primary, but redirecting failed. That + 3rd party client problems mean perhaps Pleroma isn't going to cut it.

@mhoye not really specifically open but I still remember when I first learned of shell redirection (“> file”) I was flawed by the possibilities that had opened up to me, and I doubt any of my non-nerd friends are aware (or ever use a terminal for that matter)

@mhoye long may X last!

Good news. Amaroq (iOS) works in conjunction with the #Debian Pleroma instance; unfortunately tooot (iOS) does not

@Jmtd @bwh the local timeline is pretty quiet though
