I was born - I haven't died yet.
Anything else is a bonus.
And then you get to the bus stop and find out they don't start for another half hour on Sundays...
Back home for snuggles with my youngest it is, then! :D
(or was - back at the bus stop now!)
Okay, me - you got up an hour after your alarm went off, you have to leave for work in 10 minutes, and you haven't got dressed or had breakfast yet - put the #fediverse down and GO!!
Okay, me, just let me finish this toot...
:rolleyes:
Considering moving home, possibly to mastodon.host, mostly for the #peertube and #funkwhale integration.
Any thoughts on alternatives?
Does anyone kniow of a simple guide to creating an Infobox in MediaWiki?
All the docs I've read are thoroughly confusing...
That was a strange one - installed Wine using Lubuntu's package manager, but it failed to install a load of dependencies, so trying to install anything via Wine chucked up a load of errors before failing.
Finally managed to install Scrivener, but now if I launch it via command line, it opens but throws up an error about not being able to find wine-gecko.
No mention of this in the package manager - this is doing my head in! :D
(I love it, really!)
And so it begins - I've already upgraded the hosting for 2 of my sites, and cancelled the hosting account they were originally on, now I just have to transfer the remaining 4 sites to the new host and cancel that account before 16th July so I don't get charged a small fortune for that hosting.
I'll be saving myself a fair bit by consolidating my hosting, down from around £18 to just over £10, while getting a performance boost!
Still won't be enough to run Masto, but hey ho!
I think my sub-conscious needs professional help - I spent most of the night dreaming about cooking fish fingers!

I've agreed to do something I don't feel comfortable about on Sunday, and I'm starting to get really twitchy about it.
C'mon, dude, get a grip, it's a Social event in a church, not a firing squad.
May as well be, but it's not...
Note to self - if you turn on the external drive your pics are stored on, it helps to plug the thing into your computer!
It doesn't matter how good your #linux distro, it's not going to mount something that isn't physically connected!
Oddly, one of my alts has 3 followers - and all I've done there is post a single test image!
Just logged in to my #pixelfed account, and I have 7 followers.
WTH?
It's not as if I've posted anything even vaguely interesting there...
Are there any ActivityPub applications that will deploy on shared hosting with WordPress-like requirements?
ie, something that only requires Apache/mySQL/PHP?
Preferably without using masses of chron jobs as well.
I just think that until hosting your own AP instance is as simple as the WP "5 minute install" *which normally takes me less than 2!), the #fediverse isn't really going to take off

I'm working on the assumption that indulging my natural inclination to find humour in everything by using the obvious "He/Him" and adding something like "/Oi You!" would be a bad idea.
As a cis het white guy who wants to grow beyond societies cultural indoctrination re #othering and learn to be a better ally to our LGBTQI siblings (and others), I have a question regarding #pronouns .
Would me posting my preferred pronouns here and elsewhere be seen as solidarity with #nb people, or as muddying the waters, making their attempts to identify themselves less clear?
I hate being ill.
I'm feeling rubbish, have no energy, head is constantly throbbing, coughing and sneezing all the time, yet I don't feel quite ill enough to take any more time off work - not only that, but I have some writing that needs doing, and and a metric shed-load of photos that need editing for various projects, yet I don't have the energy or even the ability to concentrate on them.
Oh, did I mention I have no appetite, and have just turned down dessert with my wife?
#shootmenow
The first of the public #pixelfed instances is up - here's my test account. https://pxlfd.me/p/stuartb/20
Federation isn't working (obviously) but those who want to try it out but keep missing the open registrations now have an alternative.
Well, I'm obviously ill, I'm sitting the canteen at work with no food, because I have no appetite - the canteen staff are complaining that their takings are going to be down!
Still, it could be worse - I could have given myself a migraine earlier by sneezing so hard!
Oh, wait, I did... :(
This is some going, getting from zero LOC to deployment with hundreds of users in less than 7 weeks.
Well done to @dansup / @pixelfed on a fantastic piece of software that is only going to get better - take the weekend off, you deserve it, mate!
