Mastodawn

Lots to unpack here.

1) I deleted my account with Mastodon long ago in 2024.

I think that is the most important thing to note here, because if Mastodon is keeping my account they are no better than Facebook.

2) Today is March 25, 2026. This claims the issue (whatever it was) took place September 9, 2024 — 1 year, 6 months, and 16 days ago (562 days ago).

People have been saying the moderation on Mastodon Dot Social is bad, but this is ridiculous.

3) Since my account was deleted — Or should have been — I have no idea what this is even about. 🤷

@aral yeah 😔 at least for X, there is nitter. Just replace x.com with nitter.net

Don't know about Instagram and Facebook, but im sure there is some way to view anonymously

X. It’s what’s happening

From breaking news and entertainment to sports and politics, get the full story with all the live commentary.

X (formerly Twitter)

@aral And this is what public #Mastodon posts look like!

Even viewed from a 3rd instance it's still fully visible without account

Basically on each server with public timelines etc so tens of thousands of places

I have a solution

É só eu postar umas bobajadas quaisquer e o servidor cai. OK, de volta a usar esse aqui enquanto isso.

Viram porque tenho mais de uma conta?

The Late Night Linux Family Mar 2

The freedom to install what you want on stock Android ROMs is still in jeopardy, an interesting update on SETI@home, Intel looks to contribute to graphics on Linux, and Mozilla works towards Web standards. Plus making a Wii U gamepad, UPS software, free NASA ebooks, and making cool posters with mapping data in Discoveries.

Important bit of #linux advice: Even though a linux system can manage hundreds of days of uptime you should reboot it on a regular basis anyway.

The reason is simple: 100 days of uptime means you haven’t tested the boot sequence for over 3 months.

Is the bootloader still working?
do you still know if you started a new service but forgot to add it to the boot squence?
Is that one service that has its configuration in ram saved?
[Edit: added] Bug/security fixes will only become active when programs are restarted and a reboot is the easiest way t make sure everything is the latest version installed.

If you reboot regularly you notice those mistakes while you still remember making them, if the box is forced to reboot when you least need it half a year later you have no idea what’s not working and no time to debug.
