@g1comics thanks :) yeah I arrived at the conclusion that it was pretty unlikely that anything weird had happened.

@tom thank uuuu 

@tom aah, thank you! i used that once, because the mastodon install guide recommended it, and then all the other times i felt like "uuuh i'd have to look that up again" so i didn't, but it'd make so much sense. *looks it up*

@tom yes, please! I'm basically just fumbling around cluelessly whenever I think of stuff.

@tom yeah, like, it's supposed to be the fast thing! and then sometimes it's not! and sometimes you don't know if it's just taking its time to show things or if actually the connection is gone,, like me earlier,, well.

I'll just go take a shower and see if anything happens by then

also, I have never not experienced very lorge ssh lag (with any server, on any internets) and I hate it so much. it is gnawing at my very existence.

oh ok now it works. or at least it is printing a lot of green dots which I guess are its way of showing that it is doing something. also apparently I didn't have a cronjob for that (and some other cron thing was giving errors? well,,,) so i guess maybe that mystery is explained

so I think what is actually going on is that situational.softi.city is running out of space, but tootctl media remove doesn't work. Let's see if I'm motivated to find out why…

@gRuFtY thank you <3
