"On the fateful afternoon of April 8, 2017, yours truly was bored and decided he wanted to set up this hot new piece of social networking software called Mastodon. Little did he know how this bit of idle curiosity would affect his life months down the line.

This is the story from then to now in various pieces, as much as I can recall anyways. I don’t remember every detail but what remains is enough to write this post."

I wrote this post, I hope y'all read it.

PSA: most of the time when I follow people, I follow from this account and also @guinan ; I do this to populate Ten Forward's federated timeline with all y'all amazing people.

Interviewer: "So, here in your CV it says that you are currently learning French. Why did you decide to learn a new language?"

Me: "Oh, you see there are these French witches..."

Interviewer: "Uhhhh"

Me: "Yeah, wait till I get to the part about the French memes."

PSA for fellow instance admins:

If you are in a dispute with another instance admin and feel like you need a second or third opinion or appraisal of the situation, feel free to reach out to me for advice.

E2E contact methods are available upon request and my discretion can be vouched for.

My modus operandi is always to mend bridges where possible and if I can help out with that on here, I feel like I should.

Finally getting around to starting season 2 of The Expanse

this is the article by Kyle Orland, its not a bad read, I just felt the need to snark about the title

"The Game Beat: Do Journalists Still Need E3?"

Betteridge's law of headlines or in this case e-mail subjects applies

(also nobody needs E3)

considering running a Tor exit again but its kind of difficult because I need two things:

- unmetered bandwidth or at least a large enough quota

- ability to use my own IP space for it i.e announce it via BGP from my ASN. This allows me to handle the inevitable abuse reports I will get from running a Tor exit without bothering my host

I can't speak enough praise of the music in this show tbh

the way all of it matches thematically with the show is 👌🏾 💯 🔥
