I bought a cheap sander attachment for my drill, makes quick work of the slab edges!

Picked up a nice big walnut slab today that I’ll be turning into a coffee table for my parents.

I get excited every time I find these “sweetest batch” strawberries at the store, so good!
So, you've run https://debirdify.pruvisto.org/ , https://fedifinder.glitch.me/ and https://twitodon.com/ to migrate from Twitter, and then searched via https://fediverse.info/explore/people but still feel like your timeline is empty? Then have a look at https://followgraph.vercel.app/ which looks up all the people you follow and then the people that *they* follow to suggest new people for you.

This is a web app that helps you find out which of the people you follow on Twitter are on Mastodon/in the Fediverse already and follow all of them easily.

While I’m sharing woodworking presents, here’s a walnut serving tray for my sister that I’m pretty proud of. First bookmatch (resawed it mostly by hand…I need a bandsaw), and I had fun with the contrasting maple splines.

I set up a test Mastodon server last night only for it to run out disk space overnight due to federation. Seems like I need to spend some time learning how this all works before I use my own instance for real.

Digital Ocean, provider of some of the most helpful tech tutorials around, just published one for how to set up #mastodon !

I wish this had existed before I stood up my own instance, but now it'll help others.

Mastodon is a microblogging social networking application that uses a decentralized model, also termed as a federation by its creators. Mastodon is open-sour…

Anyone know of a good technical overview of how Mastodon works? More specifically, I’m curious how all the servers talk to each other for searching/following hashtags, etc.
Hi Mastodon! We’ll see if I actually use this.
