Crossposter tested and works from birdsite to Masto, as long as your fedi account instance is not on the developer's black list.

An interesting tool, maybe could be a bot-like way to bring content we like and it is not here yet.

Trying this out to see how it works, maybe useful.

But hit a snag! 😉

Oops! We Blacklisted.

Mastodon to Twitter Crossposting ?

Just found this site, run by a Brazilian instance admin. It promises to do crossposting two ways - from birdsite to mastodon feeds, or vice versa.

https://crossposter.masto.donte.com.br/

This page above is a working installation - you can add your own job to it by selecting and configuring options.

Features, see their Git page: https://github.com/renatolond/mastodon-twitter-poster#features

"Read Sacha Baron Cohen's scathing attack on Facebook in full: 'greatest propaganda machine in history'

In a speech, the actor argued that Facebook would have run ads by Hitler. Here are his remarks in full."

A user at another instance was commenting about having bought this exact router, and that it solved his problem with patchy coverage in some areas of his home.

That can be difficult, specially if there are solid walls, masonry or even concrete, between the router and the client devices.

I searched and found this review, read it and liked it. A fair and detailed evaluation. The router is currently VERY pricy - listed at near 300 UK Pounds.

And you really only benefit from that investment if you already have one of the few devices that are new enough to support the 802.11ax protocols, aka WiFi-6.

The design is pretty interesting, makes me think of a Death Star fighter in a Star Wars sequel. 😜

His testing measured thruput, download speed from a local server to a client, of up to 60 MegaBytes per second. That can only work with a Gigabit connection from server to router, as that thruput is already approaching 600 Mb/s.

I personally like and use wired networks for any static device; desktop, smart TV, media box, I would wire them all. But this is neat. 😃

What do you all think? A bit pricey, but it's coming.

"Netgear Nighthawk AX12 review: A high-end 802.11ax router with bags of bandwidth"

" The Nighthawk AX12 is an exceptional router. It’s one of the first wave of 802.11ax devices (also known as Wi-Fi 6), offering real-world download speeds of 60MB/sec and more when accessed from a compatible client. What’s more, it’s the first router we’ve ever seen with 8x8 MU-MIMO capability. That means it can smoothly handle up to eight simultaneous wireless connections – perfect for a modern household that’s packed with smart devices.

The catch? All 802.11ax routers are expensive and this one is pricier than most. Sure, the specs are impressive, but are they really worth £360?"

This article is brilliantly written and illustrated. 🤔

"Is this trend driven by people’s changing cultural habits, or is it that people are following the new laws of social networking? I don’t know — that’s for researchers to find out — but it feels like it’s reviving old cultural wars. After all, the web started out by imitating books and for many years, it was heavily dominated by text, by hypertext. Search engines put huge value on these things, and entire companies — entire monopolies — were built off the back of them. But as the number of image scanners and digital photos and video cameras grows exponentially, this seems to be changing. Search tools are starting to add advanced image recognition algorithms; advertising money is flowing there.

But the Stream, mobile applications, and moving images: They all show a departure from a books-internet toward a television-internet. We seem to have gone from a non-linear mode of communication — nodes and networks and links — toward a linear one, with centralization and hierarchies.

The web was not envisioned as a form of television when it was invented. But, like it or not, it is rapidly resembling TV: linear, passive, programmed and inward-looking."

Must Read. 😉

I am a big Fan of History, and the WWII period is one of my favourites. Just saw a nice post at the birdsite, by a WW2 Live account.

Searched Fediverse, and indeed we have a bot bridging content here too. 😉
