Mad props to the makers of this decentralized service for thinking about account migration. I am giving it a try to finally move to our own instance.

This feels appropriate for the second thing I've ever posted to mastodon.

Julia Fischer, eine der weltweit besten Geigerinnen, mit einem Statement zur Störung ihres Konzerts in der #Elbphilharmonie durch Klimaaktivist·innen. Da ist kein Wort zu wenig und keines zu viel. Respekt.

Oh good lord, I have just read somebody posting that the response to the thundering herd of activitypub instances fetching link previews from a site is "use cloudflare because it's free".

1. Do not use Cloudflare. They support Nazis.

2. A better design for mastodon/pleroma/etc is to pass link previews along when they pass post content along. Fall back to fetching from the source when that isn't available.

3. Centralization has a lot of benefits. This is one example. It's harder to be decentralized; work is repeated.

I was asked about selling the computer bricks in kit form, and gave the same answer I've given before - that the assembly process is really fiddly, requires materials that most people don't have at hand, and is very challenging to get right on the first attempt.
But what if I made just the circuitry available as a kit? Would anybody be interested in this as an object in its own right? It clips on to Lego studs & has two capacitive touch buttons, a 72x40 screen, and an RP2040 stuffed inside it.
