A cat’s brain is biologically more similar to a human brain than it is to a dog’s. Both humans and cats have identical regions in their brains that are responsible for emotions.

@lmorchard Thou vain unwash'd strumpet
What I should really do is find another small but friendly fediverse instance, set up camp there, and retire my own self-hosted instance until I write my own thing - because I am a Professional Glutton for Technological Punishment

Was thinking about doing a code tinkering stream later tonight on Twitch, maybe I'll spend some time banging my head on ActivityPub and Mastodon after I make my WHEEL OF SIDE PROJECTS
I wonder if I've got a queue not running or something on my instance?
I know enough to stand up the docker containers, backup/restore the DBs, upgrade the code - but I have been putting off actually learning about ActivityPub and everything else Mastodon does
Importing follows from my self-hosted instance over here to the mothership. Still trying to figure out why I get too mentions from some instances but not others. Might help if I actually spent some time learning how the machinery works.
@lmorchard I think I'm having an identity crisis and mentions aren't working
Welp, I think I accidentally nuked my personal Mastodon instance. Hoping I can restore the database backup
@lmorchard Derp? Did you break your inbox?

all computers should boot to a message which says “CAUTION: this is a computer. Are you sure you want to continue? (y/N)”
Whoops! I think I broke my tooter last night.

hey @ techbro fedverse. can you stop making bots that just post shit from an RSS feed or an official twitter account without checking if there isn't already a bot that does that. half of my blocked accounts are different versions of 3 feeds.

Oops, I tooted from my old persona.
Whenever anyone expresses an interest in game tinkering and it even remotely sounds like they haven't seen Pico-8, I'm all like HAVE YOU SEEN PICO-8 I LURVE IT

awoo.space is explicitly a safe space. If that phrase makes you scoff, please show yourself the door. If it sounds kinda nice? Well, maybe you belong here.
