For users which are unaware: Fosstodon has an automatic post deletion feature where you can set a time threshold after which your posts will be automatically deleted! Other Mastodon instances may also have this feature, but it varies. Check 'Preferences -> Automated post deletion'.
CephasTightened up our database this week on CityCatalyst project at OEF.
This means stronger validation, fewer orphaned records, and better model alignment across all our services.
Clean schema, clean mind.
It’s the little things that keep big systems stable.
Regulær RevolusjonærDet fine med #blackfriday konsumerisme-hælvetet er at jeg får muligheten til å avregistrere meg hos alle som har data på meg. Fint for #datahygiene. #Norsktut
Amadeus PaulussenSometimes I wonder how many files I might have accidentally deleted with my `rsync -rtuv --delete` routine. I think zero, but still... 😜😅 #rsync #datahygiene #linux
Mx. Luna Corbden 🐸P.S. Once your gmails are in Thunderbird, you can drag those folders wherever, say if you have a new email address at your own domain. You'll have two accounts on the side and stuff can move between them. In theory, if I change something on Thunderbird, it will change it on Gmail by default, so be careful. I haven't tested it yet or explored the settings. I was more a POP3/SMTP guy back in the day.
[Edit: And vice versa, if your settings aren't right, deleting things on Gmail will delete them on Thunderbird. So test everything before doing massive purges, like I eventually plan to do by deleting everything at Gmail.]

AND it was freaking weird opening this ticket talking to AI, when she ran me through all the basic troubleshooting steps with creepy levels of understanding...
...given that in every single tech job I had, outside my job description, I was building that world. I automated repetitive user interactions by writing KB articles and troubleshooting guides (created whole KBs for places outside my job desc), and later working for the enterprise CRM/CIM company where they were developing tech support chat and started introducing automation.
Just to see that..be..a thing now. I have mixed feelings. I do think it went further away from humanity than it should have. I think a human should be in control of the tools at all times.
I wonder how entry-level IT will learn if they're not fixing printers at the basic level. In my case it worked, the steps the AI gave me were valid and she understood my replies. That said, the human techs I worked with, they didn't solve it. I did. 🧵
It is such a relief to have these messages local now. And I can upload them to Titan if I want them on the cloud or to access them anywhere.
Google has been making *recent* (last month) changes to their email security and I suspect that's why my host's tool didn't work. I no longer take for granted anything Google offers me. I'm getting out of dodge as I can. And it feels nice to be independent of them.
I wish I could help more, write up some documentation for the masses ("How to Ween Yourself Off Gmail"), but I need that energy for elsewhere. Just know that it's possible, and with the above clues, shouldn't be too hard.
