@dansup hey quick question for you, just saw this GitHub issue: https://github.com/pixelfed/pixelfed/issues/726

Is this still the case? ("S3 not supported") I'd love to get an instance up and running but I'd need that first 😃

Updated instance to Mastodon v2.9.0rc2!

Still beta software, because I like living on the edge.

Should fix the /custom.css redirect issue we were having 😄

Any Mastodon #instance #admins know how S3 works with multiple instances out of the box? I want to share media across a couple instances without duplicating it.

Sysadmins in Training

I find it funny to come across younger people who are experimenting around with running servers. I was exactly the same way when I was younger. Someone was asking to create a OpenNIC T2 server and asking if a 10 Mbps upload was good enough 😁

Unfortunately you can't sway them, they are determined to do it even if it means their connections get flooded by bots. Ya live and ya learn I guess.

Hey everyone! Just a friendly reminder that this instance is privately-operated and does have a code of conduct. It's a simple one but it does exist! https://social.privacytools.io/about/more

I highly recommend people check it out and use common sense and there won't be an issue. We are highly responsive to user reports made as well, and if you don't think we're handling something quick enough you can always ping me. Definitely want to discourage instance blocks to avoid fediverse fragmentation 😄

oof, the 2019 MacBook Pro has been a part of the keyboard service program since its own release date. That's how you know it's bad.

It shouldn't even be legal for Apple to knowingly sell defective products.

Exciting stuff coming up.

Currently making a webserver with free services for everyone.

For now, you can access:

- https://paste.prvcy.one : Similar to Pastebin, but fully encrypted.
- https://invidious.prvcy.one : A YouTube front-end, see all the videos without all the tracking.
- https://search.prvcy.one : Metasearch engine. Search online without your every move getting tracked.

We'll continue adding more services, and a nicer homepage that lists all of them for easy access.

to better explain my dislike of Purism. It's simple. It goes far beyond their ignorance when it comes to allowing hate speech on their social platform.

They also release half-cooked probducts that aren't ready for mass consumption. They raise funds for products that aren't realistic or that they don't even know how they will build yet.

They charge shipping and restocking on their own failed products when they don't work as sold.
