What to do when you are bored:

1. Go to pet store.
2. Buy bird seeds.
3. Ask how long it will take for the birds to grow.
4. Wait for the reaction.

After doing more testing, I decided to go ahead and provide shared hosting for Mastodon instances.
This will be a trial but unless something goes horribly wrong, I believe that I can price it at €5/month for an instance of up to 100 users.
This can greatly diminish the cost of running small instances and remove the technical barrier from everyone who wishes to run their own Mastodon Instance.
Let me know what you think masto.host/#pricing-table

Before Major Communications devolved into the sterilized, corporatized "Brand Content Consumption and Delivery Systems" we know today, people had FUN on the internet!

With Maso, it just feels like all the Highest of Stakes are finally fucking burning down and we can all take to the streets and just play again. And exist as something thats less of a user/follower/consumer and more of a self.

It's been a while.

"A Unix system administrator of my acquaintance once got curious about what people were putting into /dev/null. I think he also may have had some notion that it would contain secrets or other interesting material that people wanted thrown away. Both of these ideas are stupid, but what he did next was even more stupid: he decided to replace /dev/null with a plain file so that he could examine its contents.

The root filesystem quickly filled up and the admin had to be called back from dinner to fix it. But he found that he couldn't fix it: to create a Unix device file you use the mknod command, and its arguments are the major and minor device numbers of the device to create. Our friend didn't remember the correct minor device number. The ls -l command will tell you the numbers of a device file but he had removed /dev/null so he couldn't use that.

Having no other system of the same type with an intact device file to check, he was forced to restore /dev/null from the tape backups."

the Android 7.1.2 update brings a feature to swipe the notifications drawer down using the fingerprint reader.

this is sweet as heck, but also requires for me to re-learn 7 years of muscle memory.

using Mastodon makes me realize how little I tweet about myself on Twitter and how much I reactively tweet.

like as if I'm somehow protecting myself by not talking about daily life but then I end up coming off like I don't have any amount of interesting personality. over social media at least.

I guess it doesn't help that I've been in a slump recently but still
