mastodon 4.8.0-nightly.2026-10-06
  • Open on mastodon.social

I am a compulsive writer - mostly stuff of inconsequential nature. Follow at own risk.

Seriously. While I probably don't *technically* suffer from logorrhea, I post a LOT (when I was on Twitter, I ran between 650 and 1200 posts/month). So, "you've been warned!" :)

If you've gotten this far:
• I work in IT …which results in a lot of ranting
• I'm a lifelong music-lover …so, a fair number of posts about shows I go to
• I have no kids, just dogs …so, lotsa pix of them

@BeegyPsi@mastodon.online @drewharwell@mastodon.social Would a Wapo Mastodon Server run on LightSail, EC2s, ECS or EKS? Be cool if AWS published some Elastic BeanStalk profiles to make standing up Mastodon nodes a Push-Button affair.

No, Peloton, it's not "DJ-level enthusiasm" if your workout-leaders aren't screaming "PUT YOUR FUCKING HANDS UP".

@atrupar @petercsoka Mastodon profiles aren't directly verified. However, you can verifiably link to sites that people know are yours – say a vanity domain, employer's page for you, publication announcement, etc.. Basically, if you have a well known presence somewhere else, you can create a verified link in your profile and people can infer that you're the real you from those links.

@mmasnick So... MTG's never going to request to be interviewed by Hasan: she'll stick with the Stahls?

Nah, you don't owe an explanation, but it is telling that your response to a question is "I'm too fucking lazy to type up my ideas or even provide a reference to one I like". It's the usual useless-puffery of "somebody should do _something_" with scant indication of what that "something" should be or that you've even really though it out.

Looks like evil.social is offline, again (since mid-morning).

@dw@mas.to

We can't get stodgy business "leaders" to let people continue to work remote (which, notionally, saves at least the commuting-related pollution), let alone do a 4-day work-week.

@CommissarMatis

Gotta get those ratings. The only thing that sells advertising better than sex is outrage.

Maybe, one day, they'll find sexy pundits and do bikini-clad mud-wrestling?

Porn is generally behind CWs, so, not really a problem. When it's not behind CWs, it gets reported and the poster blocked.

@seatsixtyone@mas.to Passenger rail is generally most economically viable between main population centers. Feels like some of those yawning gaps are like asking "why doesn't the US have more rail lines through Wyoming", though?

@drewharwell@mastodon.social Unless your employer is demanding you get your access back, I'd be inclined to not delete.

@ryangoodlett@mastodon.social @drewharwell@mastodon.social They could still go after you via your hosting service or bandwidth provider. But, yeah, more difficult.
