Linux Tech Tips: _There was a recent thing from a major tech company where developers were asked to say how many lines of code they wrote, and if it wasn’t enough, they were terminated. And there was someone here who was extremely upset about that approach to measuring productivity because it […]

Mick Jaguar is the most human-focused kitten I’ve ever met. He follows me around like a dog. He loves being on or next to me. #caturday #catsofmastodon

I just discovered there's a '.tube' TLD. All the fun names are taken, though. 😤

I finally got my mastodon-behind-wireguard instance running! It seems okay so far, but there are a couple of issues that I'm concerned about. Chief among them is that it may be leaking my home IP address. I need to verify whether or not that's true, and if so, fix it. Anyway, feel free to say […]

Dammit, every time I make strides in reducing my web hosting bill, I think of something else that makes it go back up again. *sigh* Time to rent another VPS.

Because I'm a glutton for punishment, I decided to install a Matrix server on my home server, which is behind a wireguard vpn. This requires a reverse proxy on a separate, public facing server. It is not going well. Ugh. Soldiering on. #matrix #wireguard #selfhosted

This is really interesting. The prevalent thinking is you put #solar panels on set-aside land not being used for anything else (or rooftops, of course). But actually creating a partial canopy of solar panels over crops can *improve* yields without losing farmland, the same sort of win win […]

RE: https://infosec.exchange/@guyjantic/115572800725553965 Never change, Mastodon. You're beautiful just they way you are.

So a lot of people are saying Google's space-datacenters idea is stupid, but have you considered that every time something like this gets proposed, I see an uptick in sales of my book on space?

I've been looking for a replacement for Youtube Music as part of my ongoing quest to de-Google my life, and I think I've finally found one. I'm evaluating Qobuz and so far it seems nice. It does not seem to be related to any of the top four players (Spotify, Apple, Google, or Amazon) so that's […]

Just got a captcha "Select all images with a bus" and one of the panels shows an ambulance. Now I'm paralyzed with indecision.

Scrolling through events, and was briefly impressed with Local Town for being less conservative than I thought they were. But while it’s very nice that they’re celebrating residents of Polynesian descent, “PolyFest” is definitely not at all what I thought it was, and they probably actually are […]

Lately Reddit has been blocking me when I follow links to their site. What's going on with that? It happens in Firefox for Android and Linux. #reddit #security

A while back I said that perhaps installing HomeAssistant remotely was too ambitious. Well, I persisted. #homeassistant #selfhosted #fedora #linux

Y'all. It's possible to close those hundreds of tabs you have open all the time. Just saying.

Painkiller Equal parts orange juice, pineapple juice, and coconut water. Simple syrup. A generous measure of good dark rum. Add ice, shake well or blend. Rim with sugar and toasted coconut if desired. Garnish with a pineapple wedge. Enjoy!

And here are the current measurements of Starlink brightnesses by Mallama and Cole 2025: https://academic.oup.com/mnrasl/article/544/1/L15/8251664?login=false Everybody is too bright. OneWeb manages to halfway make it below the recommended limit, but everybody else pretty much sucks.

Jeez, nextcloud client app. Nag much? Okay, fine. I'll update the server.

Progress on my mastodon-behind-wireguard project. I can now access the server through the nginx reverse proxy on the vpn server. I get an Error 500: Connection refused, but still... progress! There's a problem with the mastodon install. I'm not sure what it is exactly, but it seems it can't […]

[Banal Mastodon stuff] RE: https://darkmoon.social/@bruce/109361122175897087 I just upgraded Mastodon to 4.5.1 yesterday, so I'm trying out the quote post function. Feel free to ignore this post. (Or any of my posts, for that matter. I'm not the boss of you.)

I'm trying to upgrade my Mastodon instance to version 4.5.0 and having some difficulty. Precompiling the assets fails and I don't know why. Help? #mastodon #selfhosted

At @Vivaldi we tend to take a stand when it comes to technologies that are in use in our industry. We have been clear from the start that we believe crypto currencies have no place in this world. Nothing that has happened during these last few years has changed our minds. Rather the opposite […]

Apparently one of the things driving the whole bathroom with no tub "trend" are tall people who do not fit in them so the tall people just get rid of the tub and have only a shower. Excuse you I was swimming in there. Tall people must be stopped. Grab their knees!

There's one big question I have NEVER heard any Network anchor ask: "T**** said that despite being friends with #Epstein for 15 years, he kicked him out of his club after Epstein 'stole girls that were working for him'. WHY were under-aged girls working for […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

I think I might try to stand up a temporary mastodon instance on my home server, which is behind a wireguard VPN, and use nginx on a public facing $5 VPS to serve the content via reverse proxy. I wonder if that's possible. #mastodon #wireguard #nginx #selfhosted

Twenty-nine years ago on this day, #httpget 0.1 was released. I found the tool a few days later and within a few months I became the maintainer. We later renamed it. Twice. The last name it got is #curl. It stuck. httpget was my first insight and lesson into HTTP and since then I have kept […]
