@acjay if you go visit their profile from their instance (it's a pain sometimes but you can usually click their profile picture to go there), then you can find that toot. Then you can copy the link to that toot and paste it into qoto's search bar. That'll pull up the toot via qoto, and you can respond then.

That is painful, right? But it does get better once you follow them for a little while.

re: Pecan Pie 

@kormorant not a fan? It's sweet sweet sweet, so I can see why it's not everybody's favorite...

Pecan Pie 

Pretty excited about this thing right here.

My sysadminnery stretches into my personal life too where I do it recreationally, so hold that against me if I ever sound well-balanced or reasonable. Spent a lot of time in Linux land, Debian by preference, but I'm BSD-curious.

I like making food and mixing drinks, brewing coffee, getting around the city by bicycle - I ride a heavily modified Brompton folder - and getting very into movies.

Spent most of my life disliking myself a bunch and I've been working hard lately to fix that.

@artemai trying to upload to the hands project I get an error 500...

food. nonsense 

potatoes, salt, oil, and heat... tastes better'n it has right to. you don't think you can eat three potatoes, then you cover em in olive oil, season em right, and bake em and then you can

@kisharrington @jkb @Gargron curious as to what you're after...

fediverse.party/ has a good display of other things available, misskey for instance. But you can also hugely increase post length and add markdown to a mastodon instance and use that to make "blog posts".

Then other people have a static HTML blog system (like what you might host on GitHub), and make posts using mastodon each time to announce and link to their blog posts. Alternatively I believe there are RSS->Mastodon bots that could automatically toot your new posts. The benefit of this setup, in my mind, is that static HTML is so simple very little can go wrong. Whereas an ActivityPub server is comparably complex. So any trouble you have on the ActivityPub or bot side stays where it is and doesn't spread.

@musicmatze and I didn't quite use all the recommendations in that post actually... In the portions of my application that were very much like a library I used thiserror (which is so cool). Then in the portions that were primarily error consumers I just handled then myself.

@musicmatze that's annoying. Perhaps they don't understand the tradeoffs. I was lucky to find this post a little while ago when I was trying to understand the right way to do errors.
