Please boost:
I've created a commit patch for a mastodon Hebrew translation.
Is there anybody with a test node that is willing to help me test the patch by applying it and sending me screenshots?
Translating English instructions into a language that has gender built into everything is hard - especially if you want to avoid assuming the gender choices of the reader. :/
Cloning into 'mastodon'...
I've written 'toot', a very simple command-line utility to allow Mastodon posts to be sent from the command-line: https://www.npmjs.com/package/toot
Hey admins of smaller servers, i have to tell you something!
In the first days of social.tchncs.de i explored some gnusocial and mastodon servers for interesting and active users and followed them from here. So the these where about 20people from random but maybe 8 different instances and about 100 from boosts. Everything else happened by itself. I stopped with this weeks before the twitter update and never needed a bot. My server knows 601 servers atm and my federated timeline is hyperactive.

oh god that's weird. this is the first time playing my guitar since i got the new lights in my room. the new lights flicker at a rate of either 60 or 120 Hz, which is close enough to my A string at 110 Hz that i can see it vibrate peak to peak

Hey there Mr. File Descriptor. I see you're in a bad state. Do you need a hug?
The bird just decided to give Mastodon another boost. They are deleting tweets from people complaining about #United. https://thenextweb.com/twitter/2017/04/11/twitter-delete-united-airlines-tweets/#.tnw_YGUEpwwV

I just went around and did some basic nmap-ing on the most popular Mastodon instances, and there's some seriously sketchy stuff in there. Publicly reachable Postgres servers, tons of open internal HTTP ports, SSH with password login, multiple Mastodon instances that seem to be running on mail server VMs, …
I guess if you're just running a single-user instance for yourself, sure, but those are all 2000+ user instances.
You are in a maze of twisty instances all alike. You are likely to be eaten by awoo!
Cars are the worst. It is incomprehensible to me how people think different kinds of cars are cool or sexy. Every time someone is talking to me about cars my advice is always never own one. If you can set your life up so that you don't need to own a car do it and then cling to it with all your strength. Never buy a car.
Stockpiled domains I'm happy to transfer to anyone who wants to use them for an instance (or other uses): legacy.software, witch.technology, grimoire.network
