GarHot take: closing registrations on this instance will have been the secret sauce needed to make federation really take off, and others should follow pattern. Lots of instances with limited registration numbers is a good thing for now.
rotor@Gar I totally wanna set up a yostodon but idk it looks hard to do so meh
@rotor I'm already configuring s3 and smtp in preparation, the heroku approach looks pretty clean.
@rotor also see related replies to this with Sneaky about my need to use boathole.com for SOMETHING
@rotor my biggest problem is I have no patience and am about 3 hours away from spring break, no computer till next monday. I must not get sucked into this right now.
@rotor I hate being a single point of failure so once it's set up i'll be looking for someone to add access to on heroku be careful what u wish for _~_~_~~_
@Gar man I'm busy with other projects, if I can't apt-get install this in under an hour I have no time for it.
@rotor one button deploy to heroku*
*(after you set up dns, s3, and smtp so you can fill in all the correct config items)
@Gar why would I pay for heroku's computers when I have a perfectly good computer at home
@Gar all it does is sit there all damn day, it might as well use one of it's many cores to federate a toot or two
Sneaking Mission@SneakyMission @rotor zone is such a good tld
