I've seen a few people ask what happens if the instance you are on closes down.

Tradition on Mastodon is that all the people on that instance are buried alive with the admin in a giant pyramid made of old phones and laptops. 😵

@ieure Yep, nothing beats the real thing.
@ieure There was a tool called Spectacle that improved on this behavior a lot. Unfortunately it stopped getting updates a while back :(

Soooo, zurück von der Konferenz, jetzt muss ich überlegen, auf welchen Server ich wechsle.

Keiner wird so charmant sein wie cybre (das theme, der name, chr!, die emojis!!)… aber ich brauche auch einen stabilen/langlebigen Server mit guter Moderation. Bisher ist da chaos.social die einzige Wahl für mich (aber leider nur 500 Zeichen und wenig emoji).

Hätte jemand noch Ideen, die auch langlebig und gut moderiert sind?

Anyone have an instance they recommend? My home one is winding down and going offline next year :(

Tubular v2.2 is out! This release adds around 8,000 CRT datasheets, which are linked from the individual tube pages. And I've released the source under the AGPL 3.0: https://codeberg.org/ieure/tubular

Main site is still at https://tubular.atomized.org

@ieure I've had a few Fisher sets like that. Nothing amazing, but not garbage either. They totally fit the bill for tunes in the shop.
Arguments for the purchase of printing terminals over CRT... Reminds me of when a storage vendor tried to sell me on a tape backup system a couple years back. #retrocomputing #crt #terminal #printingterminal #dec #ls120
