If you download your #Twitter archive it arrives wrapped as a static HTML page, which is not very useful for doing anything with, and worse: it requires the original account to be still active to do useful things like enlarge the images since they use t.co links.

So here's a #Python script to convert a Twitter archive to #markdown or other formats: https://github.com/timhutton/twitter-archive-parser

Now you can archive your tweets in any way you want.

Kaylee and Joe working on their precision close-order napping. Practice makes perfect! #dogs
@kentbrew @tinker yes, you should have your DNS updated pointing to your droplet already. Part of the reason for this is that SSL certificates by Let's Encrypt will be setup and if the DNS isn't setup the SSL certs can't be setup/validated.
@tinker @kentbrew I too am hosting my instance on DO, and they just updated their 1-Click with the latest version of Mastodon as well.

@kentbrew @stephenfry from an architecture pov that’s the obvious solution, I more meant the practicalities of making that happen as your average celeb isn’t likely to have the requisite technical skill to stand up and run there own mastodon server( @wilw excepted :) ).

However, I’m convinced there is an ‘everyone wins’ community solution in there somewhere.

All credit to the amazing Chirp and Whimsy:

Does anyone within the sound of my voice have a strong opinion about the best Mastodon hosting provider? (Asking for a friend, who should really know better....)
Kaylee turned 14 today. Look at this girl! So good! #dog #aussie

Did you know that most heavy equipment on construction sites are “keyed alike”? This means that a SINGLE key for a backhoe from a specific manufacturer will work for ALL backhoes from that manufacturer.

But wait, it gets better! Often, that one key will work for ALL MACHINES created by that manufacturer.

For example: the Caterpillar key that you can buy on the internet for less than $10 will work for most Caterpillar heavy equipment! Yes! It’s all the same key! Read the review on this post or ask literally any one of your friends that have worked on a construction site before.

But why is heavy equipment “keyed alike”? Imagine if every single heavy equipment machine had a unique key. Can you imagine the nightmare that would ensue because Josh left the backhoe keys at home and now the entire construction plan is set back an entire day? It’s much easier to have all the keys keyed alike. It’s not like someone would just drive off the site with a backhoe, right?

When doing physical penetration testing, it might be useful for you to buy Tornado’s set of 100 heavy equipment keys. They usually cover every single machine that doesn’t have require an RFID chip or some other ignition code (modern machines are being developed with higher security, but the bulk of what is near you is probably old).

Spent at least an hour chasing these guys down for their one-month checkup today. Good grief, I'm old. #goats #farming
