Our #mastodon provisioning automation for single node installations using #Flatcar #linux is complete (for now): https://github.com/flatcar/flatcar-mastodon

This should be one of the fastest ways to get your own Mastodon server up and running.
Features include:
- fully automated node provisioning from scratch, with very few settings
- comprehensive monitoring included
- backup / restore and node migration included, too!

Give it a go if you like - your feedback is very welcome!
(and boosts are too)

@flatcar 👋

This is infuriating. It's one thing to stop selling a game, but to aggressively prevent people who've purchased and downloaded it from playing should be a goddamn crime.

I keep saying buy physical, but what if that's not even an option? This is a tragedy. This is gaming history being erased.

7 things all kids need to hear

1 I love you

2 I'm proud of you

3 I'm sorry

4 I forgive you

5 I'm listening

6 RAID is not backup. Make offsite backups. Verify backup. Find out restore time. Otherwise, you got what we call Schrödinger backup

7 You've got what it takes

In Internet slang, "lurking" means being present (e.g. on a mailing list, forum or chat) without participating yourself.

I'm curious: does "lurking" sound like something shady to you, or is it neutral?

I ask because the Dutch word 'lurking' means something different, and as such I always regarded it mostly-neutral - but the English dictionary definitions are all "shady", so I wonder what this is like for non-Dutchies.
