Just deleted YouTube and a bunch of other apps off my phone. Maybe I'll also nuke chrome so if I have to use the web, I can suffer with safari

I’m legitimately just using social media less and less and better off for it. Honestly think I will replace my smartphone with a dumb phone and be done with it

Begun, the Christmas carding has

God, I "love" Mastodon.

The server's cache filled up the entire HDD, and then from there put PostgreSQL in recovery mode

Honestly, Mastodon's caching sucks so hard, and it has no good way to do sanity checks like to automatically delete files, or make sure the HDD isn't filled up past a point.

I changed the crontabs to be more aggressive, but it appears the 'recommended' solution is to use S3 storage or something like that.

I'm legitimately debating what to do long term with the server ...

So I picked up a “new” radio …

The premiere of my 2 hour video on bootstrapping Linux from Windows XP starts in five minutes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-vH_ss9tcwA

Late night QRP amateur radio!

@whitequark@mastodon.social it’s essential caveman Minecraft, it’s dev team created TerraFirmaCraft and then wrote their own engine to replace Minecraft. I haven’t played VS but terrafirmacraft was solid if you like these types of games

So, at this point, I'm debating on if I just want to shutdown this Mastodon server, and just want to know if anyone is even using it on my instance?

Ok, so it's been awhile, but I have a serious question to my follows.

What's the best in current "tiny but public" Mastodon servers, because I'm wondering if there's a better solution for interacting with the Fedi vs then a stack that goes "NOM" resources with regularity.

I'd also like a platform that doesn't have to such complicated functionality as quotes be something that exist in a side branch for years.

Well, one way to get past a bad morning is to purge your inbox of all those mailing lists you've ended up on.

@MoepMan@social.troll.academy I'd move to another instance, likely treehouse.systems and then it would do the redirect so all my follows would transfer.

It's more seeing if any other users are left on this instance besides @BCD@social.restless.systems

How to tell your school's text book wasn't written by an American:

"For example, the democratically elected United States, Congress can’t ban religious practice because the Third Article of the United States Bill of Rights explicitly protects freedom of religion and conscience"

Interesting, this is actually correct in the sense that Article 3 of 1789 Joint Resolution of Congress was the one that sent the issue to the states for ratification.

@collectifission@greennuclear.online The server is 160 GiB of storage, about half of which is used for local media, so 80 GB for caches and such.

Object storage may be what I end up doing long term, but I'm legitimately just frustrated at it.

So I put my FT-817ND on air, and managed to make a bunch of contacts at 5W and 2.5W both with battery and PSU supply. One step closer to actual POTA operations!

@ar@is-a.cat this is setup, but it filled up regardless. Once I got it back up, I changed the caches to be now two days.

@whitequark@mastodon.social I have a soft spot for Ada, but it’s hard to replace a large collection of crates (or equivalent) in any non mainstream language

Well I popped in the included NiMH battery for my Yaseu FT-817ND and see if it holds a charge. Based on the serial number, my rig is ten years old, so my battery is likely just as old. I did order a much better replacement, but if this holds a charge, I can likely do some POTA work ...
