This server is significantly modified, yea that is one of the aspects I changed.

@LWFlouisa @nipos

@dansup You've been doing a great job in that department. You gave time to even some of your biggest trolls, it takes patience.

@nipos
It uses OStatus in a sense, it would be more accurate to say it uses the diaspora-dialect of ostatus. It was just different enough from the standard that mastodon cant talk to it.

@LWFlouisa @cambridgeport90

@cambridgeport90
The difference is in the UI and the standards employed for federation. Mastodon uses OStatus, ActivityPub. A lot of other networks (like diaspora) just use OStatus which is older and on the verge of becoming obsolete but still used.

Mastodon and QOTO seem to cover the most standards so it allows for a larger audience IMO.

@cambridgeport90 You can migrate, if you do this anyone going to your old profile will be notified and forwarded to your new one. I havent used the migration tool myself but ive seen it used.

@cambridgeport90 When you first start your own server no one will see you post because no one is following you and the server isnt federated with anyone. However if you use an existing server (preferably a popular one with lots of users) it will already be federated with much of the network. As such when you post you will show up in the federated timeline of other servers.

Federation can be expensive and time consuming to establish for a server. The way it works is this. When someone follows anyone on your server, then the entire server your follower on is now federated with you. This means that any posts you make will show up int he home timeline of your follower but the federated timeline of the server your follower is on.

So by using an already established server it means you will have a much "louder" voice than running your own server. For this reason single-instance servers arent the best idea if you want the widest audience.

@Surasanji No just normal old ruby serialization (Marshal module)

I need #Ruby #help! I can't get the serialization to work right in my open-source ruby game. It uses the built in Marshal module with some customized dump/load methods. Anyone out there know of any alternatives (Gems) to Ruby's built in marshalling mechanism?

This sums up why I will always pick Linux over Mac. They are scam artists plain and simple.

@Taweret@octodon.social They dont have blood at all, no insects do. They have something called hemolymph which serves the same purpose and more.

@bthall
Ahh I see. Well lets hope it was a one time thing. Sounds like your under a lot of stress, understandably so.

@bgcarlisle

Everyone please welcome my good friend @lordalveric to #QOTO. He is a programmer and Machine Learning enthusiast, Lets show him how awesome this community can be!

The more you know...

@bthall
Is this soething you've dealt with in the past. Just so you know there are some really effective medications to help with panic attacks if it becomes crippling. Though to be fair if the occasional beer helps that may be a little better.

@bgcarlisle

@bthall Oh man thats rough. It almost sounds like a panic attack, and I know how scary that can be.

If talking helps, im always happy to listen. You got this dude!

Pretty much my thoughts everytime I power up my treadmill.
