@andrew Very interested in your project. I was going to suggest Matrix although I do understand multiple client fatigue. It's the same reason I try to use Matrix for everything.

@jeff What is wrong with Matrix? @ValidHorizon

@nattiegoogie check out the unattended-upgrades package. It does basically this but for security updates only. @ThatOhGi @DopeGhoti

@erniebufflo The official app needs some work. Try Tusky if on Android. Not sure which is the best for iOS though.

@crschmidt I'm not sure but it strikes me that the client would likely route a message through their instance which would then push to followers instances. I'd be surprised if the client itself communicates directly to instances of the user's followers. Be aware though that I've not looked at the ActivityPub protocol so It's a pure guess.

@davidzipper I agree that vehicle is ridiculous. That being said, it could also cost much less than that to charge. If I charged such a vehicle at my home it would cost under $30.

@War_Kittens He fails to explain what "seek it out" means. Is following a hateful person seeking that out? If so, I fail to see what difference that policy will make.

Can you explain the technical issues with single user instances? I was contemplating this.

I've previously expressed my desire to and difficulty with using git-annex and thought it fair to provide an update.

I gave it another shot by starting completely fresh and being more intentional about the data I'm managing with it and it's been a much more positive experience.

I suspect my previous problems were due to accidentally copying other git repos into the git-annex repo which seems like it could be problematic.

Now I'm using it for a good amount of data and it's been awesome. I can have a representation of all of my data (but not the actual data) on my laptop and just pull specific files down when I need them and drop them when I'm done. I can also use the system to provide redundancy for my data rather than having to store it on my NAS. Or, I can put in YouTube URLs to save them for later without having to download them. Great stuff. Highly recommended.

@ryanschultz Question re: Mastodon etiquette. Is it frowned upon or a bad idea to run a solo instance for yourself? I like my instance but the lure of self-hosting my own is enticing as I do it with as many services as I reasonably can. Will I be likely to be blocked by people just for being the only user of an instance?

@yaso Twitter won't be going away. It may be unreliable for a while though.

@s31bz I have a ton of old thinkpads and never noticed that. Useful! Now to figure out how to identify metric screw types at a glance...

Just put an order in on an EV. Looking at EVSE options right now and found OpenEVSE (https://www.openevse.com). Looks interesting, all parts and schematics and code is open. Home Assistant integration is available. There are apparently mostly happy users but we're way way down in the niche territory to really get a good idea of how good of a product it is so it still kinda feels like a crap shoot.

@lucifargundam I'm self-taught as well. I'm not in the job market at the moment but I'm wondering if market conditions are causing hiring departments to become what they think is "more picky"?
