@kainoa @thatonecalculator Hi Kainoa, may I know if post (notes) exports aren't working atm on this instance? I've initiated an export for my acc abt 2 weeks ago I think and I've still not received it in my Drive, or gotten any feedback on its progress.

I did the same thing for my partner's account that has just 2-3 posts total at about the same time, and it's not in the drive of that account yet either.

Data export feature in #Firefish is definitely not as good/convenient as I remembered doing on #Mastodon. There's no clear feedback of the progress of what's been exported, they're not easily downloadable from its own specific section but rather, they're supposed to go into the "Drive" pile along with other media files with no indication of when the file was generated (their names are all generic with no differentiation), etc. and worst of all it doesn't seem to even work. I've requested an export more than 24 hrs ago and still could not find them in my Drive, some of these lists like following list etc. should've been and would've been instant on Mastodon. I wish there was a simple export all feature like all other SNS-es have (#Twitter, #Instagram, and pretty sure even Mastodon) which compresses everything into a single .zip file and when it's ready for download, you'll find a link to have it downloaded.

I've created an account on #KitsuClub/#Sharkey (@irfan). It looks just like #Firefish but a little prettier by default and so much snappier which is SO fucking jarring ngl. Doesn't seem like it supports importing posts/notes though which is gonna suck if I decide to make a complete move :( Though I can probably live with that. Better than seeing internal server errors all day.

Is #Sharkey any good? Looking into several #Firefish instances to migrate to and stumbled upon #KitsuClub in the Firefish server list, despite kitsunes.club being based on Sharkey, not Firefish. First glance, Sharkey looks pretty promising - not sure how stable/reliable it is though vs Firefish or they're all just the same. Also, not sure how compatible it is between the two (i.e. if I can migrate **all** of my content over, as I expect I would be able to moving to another Firefish server).

UPDATE: Sharkey is AMAZING, so please follow me there @irfan thank you <3

My latest #Unifi #internet speed test after the most recent free upgrade. My internet plan was previously 50Mbps download XMbps (I don't remember) upload, then got the free upgrade in 2018 to 500Mbps download and 100Mbps upload. With these results, I'm assuming the most recent free upgrade upgraded my plan to 800Mbps download and 200Mbps upload.

Kinda weird though, since checking Unifi's available plans on their website, the 800Mbps plan should only get 100Mbps upload, not 200Mbps. Unless I'm actually upgraded to another tier up, which is 1Gbps download 500Mbps upload - but I'm not sure that's the case with these speeds. Happy regardless though, but seeing the 300Mbps and 100Mbps plan still stuck with 50Mbps upload speed is an absolute crime...

#Yuujinchou is such a very special #anime to me that deserves all the viewership and love from everyone. I HAVE to make a full post about it at some point (sooner than later) but I'll procrastinate and leave that to my future self. Out of the 6 seasons it had (7th season coming), not ONE episode deteriorated in quality. #Gintama used to be my all time favourite whenever I'm asked, but that no. 1 spot might just be Natsume's now 😭

The hardest bit when it comes to programming is deciding what you're trying to achieve. Getting to what you wish to achieve is always the easiest (even if it ends up being difficult). It's pretty rare to get to the point where you're even unsure what you're trying to do but I'm at that point now with one of my projects 😩

All talk about #Wayland on #Linux never fails to be both exciting (sometimes at least when it's not about laptop-exclusive improvements), and complicated. It's the future, that's for sure, but while I do understand why it's not the case - I do wish it's a more clear cut, stable upgrade as it was moving to #Pipewire from #Pulseaudio. Pipewire is better, more reliable, and secure over Pulseaudio in almost every way - and its adoption was really fast and smooth because it's an easy, stable drop-in replacement that has helped improve the experience surrounding audio on Linux for everyone. Wayland should be better than #X11/#Xorg, but at the moment, that's not fully the case. Things breaking in Wayland is too common and they're often "fixed"/non-issue on X11, so people/developers/vendors are reluctant to make the move. As a result, the upgrade/switch to Wayland is very much a chicken-and-egg situation where users are waiting for it to be better and more stable before making the jump, but developers/vendors too aren't taking the inevitable move to Wayland as seriously as they should since users are mostly still on X11. I wish I could jump to 5 years from now and see a future where Wayland has completely replaced X11 without any critical/annoying issues, but I'm not too sure about that. We all might need to live through a (hopefully not too long) period of bugginess on Linux to eventually get back to its stable state that it is today, just so we could leave behind the aging corpse that is X11.
