Heard a noise outside my office window that, seriously, sounded like a cat had been run over. Goddam seagull is flying in a circle overhead, screaming its arse off!

What I find so hysterical about the mass Twitter exodus to Mastodon is that the very people and attitudes Twitter leavers will cite as their reason for moving have been on Federated services for a long time. If anything, Far-Right groups are bigger on Mastodon.

Today's events demonstrate that you really need your own instance on the #Fediverse.

My biggest mistake was using my dick_turpin@mastodon.org.uk account, which then put that instance owner in a difficult position which made me very concerned for them, TBH.

I posted a comment on someone's post about how their pictures were really good and that they should create an account on Hive so they could earn money for their work. It was a genuine attempt to show them somewhere they could earn some money. I don't even think I mentioned Crypto? The individual just told me to "FUCK OFF", and then the next thing I know; their weenie friends started reporting me to Sem. I was a bit worried for an hour or so.

You should know better. Let the new ones meet you first, earn their trust and then scam them but give them some days you're going too fast.

Groan. I take it I have to delve into the db to delete the username of an account I deleted on my #friendca instance if I want to use the username again?

I watched the weather with the Missus this morning; the radar picture they displayed showed it all going up through Wales to Scotland. I was like: "Oh well, they both used to rain. :-D

And this is why it is Great Britain. The rain has stopped, and it is daylight again. Nowhere in the world does mental weather like the UK does.

So your broadband comes into your building to a router. It's that router that lets you on the Internet. If you have VOIP phones, they also need an internet connection to work.

Aha! The image library was no longer working after upgrading my #Friendia instance. The fix is, wait for it, switch themes from vier to, in my case, Frio. TBH, I like it. I wish I had better emoji, though. Does anyone know how to get custom ones installed?

Running your own Federated Instance doesn't mean you are "Cut Off" from Social Media; it means you are in control of your own data and your real personality. I'm hardly likely to ban myself, am I? 🤔

Netflix suggested I watch The Courier last night. Pretty good film, TBF.

For the love of The Pond Gods!

Dear Unison Sync
It's all very well saying "add preference "dontchmod"" when using the GUI.
I had to figure out that you meant the [hidden] .prf file in .unison and then look at lots of search results to find out the actual format was: dontchmod=true after breaking it several times with the wrong syntax.

Why is there not an option in the GUI to perform that task?

Totally gobsmacked at the amount of dust produced simply from taking up [Large] ceramic floor tiles in the hallway of #CastleCannon
Lady Cannon is not a happy bunny with me, and it would seem saying: "But hold on, it was you that wanted to take the floor up!" was probably not the wisest defence strategy.
