I tried to read the mind of a Ferengi today. It was like tuning into a static-filled channel that only broadcasts commercials for teeth sharpeners. Dreadful. #LwaxanaTroi #FerengiMindset #AllStarTrek #StarTrek #StarTrekTNG #TNG #StarTrekDS9 #DS9 #Mastodon
It seems like a lot of accounts I followed whom were inactive are becoming active again. What happened? What did I miss? #mastodon
After a sidekiq snafu froze our timeline temporarily, we decided to have a simple health check report to our status page amd make sure the toots being served up are nice and fresh.
Code for the docker image (ran as a k8s cron): https://github.com/Five-Borough-Fedi-Project/masto.nyc-docean/tree/main/docker/timeline-health
There is a problem with "Post pending" instead of a link in a stream-based app. Can we guess what it might be?
So I love that we've got quote-tooting now (with relatively granular controls as well).
But. "Post pending" and "you are not authorized to see this" (that last one is paraphrased, I don't recall the exact wording) do make for an odd #mastodon #quoteToot experience.
Like... What am I supposed to do here? Ask OP what they quoted? Bookmark all the toots where that happens and come back to them later!? (Thats really not economical and definitely not top of my list)
What's you all's strategy!?
Let's see where this cuts off on threads...
Using bash, python, and a systemd timer I have a check running every 5 minutes for new mastodon posts. Those posts are converted into an image and reposted to threads with a link back to my mastodon post.
I wanted to set this up for X as well, and its totally doable, but they switched new developer accounts to pay-per-use as of recently. Not ready to pay to post on X.

trying to add new banner …,
for some reason #Tusky keeps crashing
I feel like its due to permissions conflicting because of #Samsung Knox but....
What other Tusky like clients are there out there that can support glitch Masto?
Carbon OFFSETS ≠ Climate Action. 🛑
I thought my "300% Green" hosting was sustainable. I was wrong. As a researcher, I audited the data and found an F-rating.
Offsets are just "digital indulgences." Our operations are 99% digital; integrity demands we move beyond financial band-aids.
We are migrating to Greenhost to embrace Relational Accountability.
Is your digital footprint built on marketing or reality?

#Introduction time!
Hi there, I'm Mary and I go by they/they pronouns. This is my relatively new account on #Sharkey where I'll post about creative interests like #BuJo, #WebDev, and #Crochet.
Last year, I joined the Fediverse through #Mastodon and currently hold an account on a science-focused instance. I wanted a space to post about non-science interests on a quieter side of the Fediverse and Sharkey seemed like a good fit.
I have an academic background in #Biology and #EnvironmentalScience and I'm huge nerd. At Masto, I toot about my #ScienceCommunication internship.
Use of this account will heavily lean into self-talk, documentation, and learning in public. While I'm not seeking social interaction, if what I do interests anyone for any reason, feel free to follow
. With that said, accounts who share resources and tips related to the Open Source Software or personal projects are of great interest to me
.
Happy to be here!
PS. I love cats

Let this be fair warning to anyone following me here as well.
If you post something calling for #Americans to be #violent against heavily armed feds because you're a keyboard wanna be warrior with bad ideas who doesn't even recognize how dumb it is to share them publicly on #Mastodon, regardless of any positive interactions we've had...
You will be instantly blocked. No exceptions. I'm done with this nonsense here. Calls for #violence are not going to be tolerated any further by me.
