Got my own domain name, set it up for my server and sent an email from it. I feel the power coursing through my veins. Next up is figuring out how to host a blog. Thank you @yunohost@toot.aquilenet.fr! #selfhosting

Greta Thunberg to Trump: "My initial thought was to give you a one-way ticket to The Hague as a birthday gift, but that comment would probably go above your head. I will instead give you a can of alphabet soup; the sentences you poop out will be more coherent than anything you have ever said. Now you can finally take part in meaningful public discourse." slay queen 🤩 @pluralistic@mamot.fr also had a very kind birthday wish! https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-interactive/2026/jun/14/80th-birthday-messages-president-trump-greta-thunberg-piers-morgan- #trump #uspol #gretathunberg

@HennaVirkkunen@ec.social-network.europa.eu The fediverse... already exists. We don't need to design new platforms, we need to support what is already there.

@paulisci@mstdn.ca Prediction: some random person in the year 2126 talking about predictions from the year 2026 will talk about this post.

@catboy_of_the_seaaa@dftba.club @epilys@chaos.social Can't spell pride without DE.

@hagen@mastodon.social A related blog post that might be worth reading: https://www.drewlyton.com/story/the-future-is-not-self-hosted/ "Self-hosting is steeped in a vision of an internet that's personalizable, private, and individualistic. A kind of internet suburbia where everyone keeps a server in their garage right next to their lawn mower and their car. But just like the suburbs, this vision is incredibly inefficient and detrimental to creating vibrant, interconnected communities. It necessitates mass amounts of duplicate, unused infrastructure and requires each household to be individually responsible for maintaining that infrastructure. It silos us and makes it harder to share resources." #selfhosting

@fesshole@mastodon.social I get a kick out of pretending to be a tourist in my country of birth since everyone assumes I'm a foreigner at first glance.

@iFixit@mastodon.social Just got a pair about 2 months ago! Hopefully I won't have to do any repairs soon, but it's good to know that it's possible.

@maxleibman A lot of people think it's about talent, but in reality it's about the work you put in. You must shitpost consistently. Day in, day out. The idea of the viral post is an illusion. People don't see the daily effort that was put in and assume they can make it big all of a sudden. No. I like the metaphor of mushrooms. We think that what we see over the ground is everything, but in reality that is just the fruit. The real mushroom is under the ground. It has been spreading and growing there over years, waiting for the right conditions to arise. It is the same with shitposting.

@redsad@ohai.social I remember my confusion when I first read somewhere in an article that people not buying stuff is apparently a bad thing "because of the eCoNoMy!". Make it make sense.

@troberts@theblower.au How do you explain this then?

@karlsruhe@vhs.social Der Vortrag klingt toll, eine große Reichweite bringt aber wenig, wenn er so kurzfristig angekündigt wird und die meisten Leute nicht teilnehmen können. Vielleicht solltet ihr ihn Hybrid anbieten.
