@Odaeus I haven't thought about or seen any security updates in the new version. What are they? I think @freemo would patch any vulnerabilities as they come. Same goes for bugs. Is there any specific bugs you have seen on qoto that Mastodon 4.0 has solved?

@PawelK Yeah, I was talking about this with someone else too. I think the only thing that a government could do is send a legal letter to the instance owner. Instance owner is not going to follow hundreds of jurisdiction laws. Government could then take legal action, but if the instance owner isn't in the same country as the government requester, nothing would happen, unless the government bans the domain and looks like China.

@PawelK my personal side is moderation based on the US Penal code. But that's just me.

@PawelK Where you are at right now?

@Odaeus qoto is running a forked version of mastodon with additional features not found in traditional mastodon. New features will be added as time goes on.

@skanman Good plan. We can go even longer than this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AxwdhweBmv8 since we are on the moon.

@skanman https://www.quora.com/What-is-the-escape-velocity-from-the-moon-How-difficult-is-it-to-launch-into-space-from-the-surface-of-the-moon-in-terms-of-energy-and-resources-required-when-compared-with-launching-from-Earth the dream is over. If I hit on this lotto ticket I guess we will go to the ISS. F

@skanman hmmmm. This is interesting. Firstly, 6 iron is my best club, funny enough. Secondly. No that u mention it, choosing a different club than a driver would be a big advantage in our situation perhaps. While longer shaft of a typical club (driver) creates the most centrifugal force, Tue other benefits of lower spin rate and launch angle would be null to us, with the moon's thin atmosphere. We could get nearly the same ball speed to a point, as spin wouldn't nearly negatively affect as much. I will have to think about this. I think we could do a graphite shaft of a long iron, perhaps 2-4 iron, and get much better accuracy with little to no loss of ball speed. Will have to think on this more

@skanman He's a trash golfer tho.

😂

@mrcippy Did you just puke on us?

@freemo I got it, bossman

@skanman I will go buy a lotto ticket while you work on that.

@skanman That's some good ideas. I will take care of the money, you take care of the calculations. Your going to have to calculate the launch angle from the move with the velocity (let's say 180mph, I think I could do that there possibly, depending on space suit restriction on swing) , the and speed of the moon in relation to earth, and try to tie that to the location of our golf hole, obviously taking into effect earths speed.

p.s. Don't forget to factor in the position of 10,000ish satellites. Shouldn't be hard space is bigger than a golf course, and teh courses I play have less than 10,000 trees, altho the trees are stationary 😜

@skanman If we are going to do this, we are going to do this right. ISS? Child's play. We are going to the moon.
Yeah, diamonds dont compress, that's why I was suggesting it in replacement for the golf ball's solid core. However, it would still need an outer core, followed by a a mantle like/sized layer, and then the outer layer. The good news is, we don't have to add dimples to the ball, as the thin atmosphere would not take advantage of them (unless we make the dimple HUGE. Maybe that would be a way to get some extra lift. i would need to know how thin the moon's atmosphere is though, and bring in a physicist (there are plenty here). I think to make it work for the extra lift it would need to be a very tough, thin, and deep dimple. The golf ball might end up looking like a beach ball at that point. So maybe we scrap the dimples. All I know is we are doing this RIGHT.

@cahllagerfeld Well consider this, I'm never wrong. I thought I was once, but I was mistaken.

@cahllagerfeld low

@MrsDi

@mguhlin I don't see any posts by that account. Looks like it's just a placeholder for the instance.

@skanman Good idea. We could use some tech from glow in the dark golf balls. I used hold a little night golf tournament every year for the members using them. They are fun, but again, don't compress as much as 3-4 layer golf balls, so we won't get the same launch speed. To help out your drive, we could supe this up https://www.golfmagic.com/equipment-news/swingless-golf-club-makes-it-easy-anyone-play-game

@ynb now that I think about it, this will not work. Most of the ball speed comes from the compression of the golf ball on the club face, and then the expansion thereafter. We will need to create a new ball, based off the current ball, replacing the current ball's core with the diamond. Ones the ball enters earths atmosphere, the balls outer core will disintegrate, leaving only the diamond core left upon landing. Does that still count?
