  • What is your weirdest self-hosting problem you've had to solve? For me: Mouse inside the server.

  • haha looks like you're aaalmost at the point where water cooling is compulsory.

    Is it a Threadripper? I built a couple of those for architectural rendering, such absolute beasts.

  • I like the unique double-layer bridge in the picture.

  • Someone didn't like me posting such "awful" fried rice last week. So I'm reflecting on what they said and...

  • There's always more ways to criticise than there are ways to agree so the comments create a negative atmosphere. Upvotes don't balance them out because comments carry more emotional weight. Votes are nearly empty, emotionally, so it takes hundreds of upvotes to counter a single negative comment.

    This is built into the structure of the threadiverse and it skews things towards the negative. I'm pondering ways to counter that but I'm not optimistic about finding a solution.

  • Yes it's pretty fun. It's impossible to pretend that multiculturalism has been perfect and always great but I think it's turning out better here than in most places. This shows up in the food and in other areas.

  • The indigenous people of Aotearoa New Zealand have their own style of cooking in an earth oven which is also used throughout the Pacific Islands. It produces very smokey meat which some people love. Not me. These days it's only used on special occasions when many people come together.

    All the immigrants who arrived since the 19th century (about 90% of the current population) eat a melting pot from all over the world. Lots of European influence (emphasis on UK and Italy), lots of Asian influence. Turkish, Mexican, the usual.

  • I have updated the post with some additional details - the timing of the two commits.

    There have been allegations that I did things differently in the second commit because I did the first one, then various things happened, then I did the second one (the one without the attribution they wanted) because of those various things. But we can see from the git history that the two commits are minutes apart and there simply isn't enough time for things to have gone that way. It was one piece of work, done in one session, for the same reasons with the same state of mind.

  • Thanks, I'll take them for a spin.

  • Maybe, or maybe PieFed is doing RSS wrong. Which reader would you like me to test? Preferably a FOSS one so I can see how that reader is trying to interpret PieFed's output.

  • It doesn't seem to be working on crust.piefed.social yet, although it was on my dev machine. There might be some issues to iron out, still.

  • Yes it's restricted. Admins need to enable the functionality by changing a setting and most will not.

    However once that setting is on it's open slather and any mod can add them to their communities. We'll want more granularity than that, probably.

  • Yeah it's pretty exciting!

    So far it doesn't look like any of the mastodon content is showing up in the Subscribed feed when set to 'Hot', only 'New'. Not sure if this is because Mastodon content gets so much less likes/upvotes or something deeper.

    There is still work to do so PieFed can accept boosted Mastodon posts. I was intending to make the bulk follow code after the boost processing code but it got hard so I didn't.

    If early results are disappointing, don't worry I'm looking into it.
