Begun, the Christmas carding has
Just deleted YouTube and a bunch of other apps off my phone. Maybe I'll also nuke chrome so if I have to use the web, I can suffer with safari

The kids who think it's fun to be cruel to others grow into adults who think it's fun to be cruel to others.

And they don't make friends—they make victims and accomplices.

"Boys will be boys" is what got us incels, school shooters, big tech, and the current state of politics.

I’m legitimately just using social media less and less and better off for it. Honestly think I will replace my smartphone with a dumb phone and be done with it
So, at this point, I'm debating on if I just want to shutdown this Mastodon server, and just want to know if anyone is even using it on my instance?

Ok, so it's been awhile, but I have a serious question to my follows.

What's the best in current "tiny but public" Mastodon servers, because I'm wondering if there's a better solution for interacting with the Fedi vs then a stack that goes "NOM" resources with regularity.

I'd also like a platform that doesn't have to such complicated functionality as quotes be something that exist in a side branch for years.

Late night QRP amateur radio!

God, I "love" Mastodon.

The server's cache filled up the entire HDD, and then from there put PostgreSQL in recovery mode

Honestly, Mastodon's caching sucks so hard, and it has no good way to do sanity checks like to automatically delete files, or make sure the HDD isn't filled up past a point.

I changed the crontabs to be more aggressive, but it appears the 'recommended' solution is to use S3 storage or something like that.

I'm legitimately debating what to do long term with the server ...

that said, I had to look it up - https://www.archives.gov/founding-docs/bill-of-rights-transcript#:~:text=Article%20the%20third...,for%20a%20redress%20of%20grievances.

Articles 1 and 2 were the ones about representation, and congressional pay raises (the later of which was passed 200 or so years later as the 27th amendment)

The Bill of Rights: A Transcription

Note: The following text is a transcription of the enrolled original of the Joint Resolution of Congress proposing the Bill of Rights, which is on permanent display in the Rotunda at the National Archives Museum. The spelling and punctuation reflects the original. On September 25, 1789, the First Congress of the United States proposed 12 amendments to the Constitution. The 1789 Joint Resolution of Congress proposing the amendments is on display in the Rotunda in the National Archives Museum.

How to tell your school's text book wasn't written by an American:

"For example, the democratically elected United States, Congress can’t ban religious practice because the Third Article of the United States Bill of Rights explicitly protects freedom of religion and conscience"

Interesting, this is actually correct in the sense that Article 3 of 1789 Joint Resolution of Congress was the one that sent the issue to the states for ratification.
