Object storage turns out to be a major annoyance in setting up a Mastodon instance. Providers are super inconsistent in their naming of things or very opaque in how things are supposed to operate.

This website is my absolute favorite to figure out why I'm feeling so bad right now.

For my fellow #ADHD / #ActuallyAutistic people out there:

you feel like shit

You feel like shit. That sucks. You Feel Like Shit is a game designed to help you help yourself through your shitty times and practice self care.

Unfortunately I have to stop actively working on #Metatext for a while due to health issues. I really wish I could implement Mastodon 4 features and squash every bug, but it's not possible for me to do so right now.

I know the app has become important to a lot people, so I'm open to a new maintainer who can carry on its values of privacy and accessibility taking it over if there's interest and a fit. Email [email protected] if you (or your organization) are interested

i might have my criticisms of mastodon, but the founder of post is out here pretending “net worth” is a protected category to signal you can’t make fun of billionaires on his a16z-funded twitter alternative

I've read a little about how federated full-text search across instances is generally strongly opposed by many people and I totally understand why even though I don't feel strongly about it. But local search? Not sure.

(I don't worry about the added effort, I'm ok with handling ES, done it many times on way bigger scales.)

Ordered the server for the new instance and it takes "up to one office day" until it's ready despite being a VM. So much for spending the evening tonight setting up some initial things

@selfawaresoup for Android users, would like to mention "Aggregator" as abuseful RSS feed app for people to try:

- Choice to show or hide read posts
- Sorting by time either direction
- Good include or exclude filtering system for RSS entry titles (matching can be wildcarded with '%' as '*')

No affiliation to the app, it's just been great having found a reliable reader again

You know how scaling RSS feeds was easily possible back then? By making the XML file static, bit by asking the developers of RSS clients and designers of the protocol to collectively rethink the whole concept.
