@j_j@muenchen.social the proud version also jumps up to a large round number significantly different from the previous one when the marketing team gets involved, even if there's nothing to be proud of.

Reading @kev@fosstodon.org's blog, he puts a little message at the end of the post if you're reading via RSS. I like it.
I'm actually thinking of making that a feature of my blog too, each post can have ⭐EXCLUSIVE CONTENT⭐ only shown to those reading via RSS.
How to report a bug to a large company as a consumer.
Open a support ticket
Allow the rep to close it by telling you some generic troubleshooting instructions
Repond to the survey
Given the rep a good rating to help them out
Write the bug report in the comments where someone with authority may read it.
Long shot, maybe.

Another one bites the dust. I guess the burnout is real.

I think I will try my own instance then. Maybe Fosstodon will live on, but I feel like I want to do something new, rather than be grandfathered in to whatever comes next.
TIL `git revert --no-commit` for reverting multiple commits and committing them together.
Due to the way my setup works with nginx-proxy, two things I need to do to set up my own fedi instance: redirect web finger requests, and host a static web FE, that would normally be done with nginx, I'm tempted to do directly in the app that runs my blog. Because the blog app is deployed at the root and is just a container, and nginx-proxy handles everything magically, it's actually easier to add logic to the app (redirect, host static pages) than it is to write custom nginx config.

Love the redundancy here. I suspect in the UK a visionary exec had those extra generators repurposed for short term profit, paid out a huge dividend, moved on to a new job, the government has to buy it back, and then there's meltdown and decades of damage in a blackout.
