So uh, apparently $288/year is not enough to run a Mastodon service for ~3 users, and this is a known issue (https://masto.host/mastodon-content-retention-settings/) with no solution (https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/discussions/19260)?!

I just want to own my identity. On Bluesky, it takes a TXT record and a did:plc rotation key. A PDS takes like $25/yr. For $300/yr you can run a whole-network relay.

Also, it's unclear if I can move to non-Mastodon software without losing all my posts, despite owning the domain??

The best part of the whole "crooked cops lose their defamation suit against Afroman" thing is that they were essentially suing him for damage to their reputation in their *community*, & by doing so managed to alert a *very* large number of people, like, definitely over a million, to these clowns & their shit-ass behavior.

Afroman said it in the trial: They didn't have to raid his home, break his shit, & get caught on security camera. This is all their choices coming back on them.

The costume department for the new Peaky Blinders film sourced several pieces from us during production; including our most historically accurate bra. 🧵

The only feature of 1Password that matters is their business dies overnight if they get hacked so they’ve thought harder about security than anyone you know.

You can’t vibe code that in two evenings no matter how much you ask Claude to “make it secure”
