a good writeup on how Free Radical survived and adapted to a burst of new Mastodon users.

the specific technical bit of interest is adapting #sidekiq to handle more traffic, by throwing a Raspberry Pi 4 (!) at the problem.

Time for an #introduction.

I'm a computer scientist by training, but nowadays I help out organisations with their #digital #strategy and #innovation as an independent contractor in the public and private sector.

I'm also the #tech columnist at Dutch newspaper Trouw, where I write critically about the impact of digital #technology on society.

On here I want to talk about:
— Tech
— Digital society
— Climate
— Taiwan
— Video games
— Tea
— Politics (mostly satire)

I'll post in Dutch and English.

Now that the fediverse is expanding it's time for an updated #introduction

In my day job I work on open-source software to model groundwater at Deltares.

In my free time I contribute to @gnome. Most of my recent work goes into writing the book for the Rust bindings of GTK 4 at https://gtk-rs.org/gtk4-rs/stable/latest/book/

I'm thinking about reaching out to content creators and starting an own Mastodon instance with very specific advertising rules that exclude the federated timeline for it not to become ad hell (and my instance blocked), but still make a social media account viable for them.

However, I'm pondering about the question of financing it too.

Do you think this idea would be viable and, in extension, enough content creator even accept it (also given me being more of a no-name)?

RT appreciated. :)

A reminder for anyone new to mastodon who might not be happy with some of the racist and bad actors out there on other servers... Just import the fediblock list to your personal blocks and you will be safe from the vast majority of bad actors.

Just asking if anyone in #Singapore think hybrid/remote working, works in Singapore?

Is a Daily #RC2014 Photo a thing yet? If not, maybe it should be. Here's one of my #Z80 machines cosplaying a Cray 1. Read more about it here https://rc2014.co.uk/1865/crayzee-eighty/
