@Npfmorsan Riksdagen, Regeringen m fl borde sätta upp sina egna Mastodon-servrar. Riksdagen kör samma adress som de har på e-post, Regeringen kör rena funktionsadresser (@[email protected] exempelvis). Jag lovar att vi kommer se en rusning till Fediversum, men det kommer inte vara krav på det […]

Had a disk going read-only on me yesterday. I started getting SMART errors back in September but never got around to get a replacement. I felt confident though, since I run #snapraid I would just restore the failed disk from the parity once it failed. However, once I replaces the disk and ran […]

After having learnt that Youtube supports #rss I just used the freedom of Unix cli to install feed2exec, wrote a three line script in addition to my existing summarize.sh glue and edited crontab. Every night I'll now get AI transcribed and summarized posts to a Matrix channel on my server of a […]

Today Mastodon is taking another step towards its founding ideals: independence and non-profit ownership. We're transferring ownership of key assets to a new, European not-for-profit entity, ensuring our mission remains true to a decentralised social web, not corporate control […]

Eugen's vision for Mastodon was centered on user choice, community, and freedom. Now, we're formalizing that commitment with the formation of a new European non-profit entity. Eugen will transition to an alternative role in the team, with a new CEO to be announced very soon. Stay tuned for […]
