May 17th, 339 CE—the proceedings of a trial are recorded #OnThisDay #OTD; the sisters Herais & Taesis fled their farmlands due to overdue taxes, so their lands were seized and handed over for public cultivation…but when they returned, they were handed back extra land!

if this policy were actually about security the 2-year limit would only apply to accounts without 2FA

kinda sad that even google can’t figure out tiered storage well enough to not even have to think about this

This papyrus also preserves the only surviving text of Constantine's law "praescriptio longi temporis", in Greek translation

How do we have what appears to be a live transcription of a 4th century CE court case? The answer is that much like today, a court stenographer was transcribing everything in real-time, only they were using a system of ancient Greek shorthand: https://www.thedailybeast.com/there-are-still-codes-throughout-ancient-roman-literature
There are Still Codes Throughout Ancient Roman Literature

For centuries we’ve ignored the marginalia writing of slave stenographers, but focusing on it now could give fresh insight into their lives, and into military and literary history.

well y'all, it was always sort of untenable to use my bot-maintenance account as my main mastodon account, but I'll probably be moving servers sooner rather than later, post migration or not https://botsin.space/@muffinista/110378654504428500

Hi folks, so based on some feedback here, I've implemented a bit of code here on botsin.space to limit public posts. Once an account makes a public post, any posts for the next six hours will be set to unlisted. This feels like an ok compromise to allow a certain amount of bot traffic on the public feed, while not polluting the timeline all that much. The code is live now but not extensively tested so if anything seems sideways please let me know.
