@dajb I really like their stuff 😺 it is math rock but a good one for my taste. I understand it depends on what you like ofc, but it was a fun discovery for me. I think the internet is losing its shit about it because in the age of AI generated music that sounds all the same and is being pushed heavily by YouTube and Spotify, Angine de Poitrine felt human and a breath of fresh air.

@lucaslove@chaos.social this looks neat! Godspeed, hope it reaches all the users it deserves. We need more tools like this.

@hayzam@mastodon.bsd.cafe they are very good for homelabs. I am watching some on eBay.

@mntmn@mastodon.social used to run into them all time while I lived in London. There were three living in my building :3 In Edinburgh I don’t see them as often. Still one came to sniff near me this week and was unimpressed with my lack of kibbles.

@oneguynick@mastodon.social @OpenBSDAms@mastodon.bsd.cafe I believe that GoToSocial should run fine in OpenBSD.

#homelab is fun. Just used an old #intel #macbookpro with @yunohost@toot.aquilenet.fr to run #GoToSocial

It is hosting this account :3 at home :3 x 10

So happy with it.

I make a feed reader called BlogCat (https://blogcat.org), it is a #Firefox #WebExtension that makes blogging an integral feature of Firefox. For example, right now I'm typing on a sidebar compose window while I browse.

Recently, I started doing #selfhosting and #homelab with #yunohost and set up my own #GoToSocial server which is running this identity you're reading.

Thanks to using a different server than Mastodon, I noticed that status character limits are not fixed. The default value for GoToSocial is much larger than Mastodon default 500 that I hardcoded in.

Now, I patched BlogCat to query the server about such limits thus improving the experience for both Mastodon and GoToSocial and other Mastodon-compatible servers.

Being able to have multiple compatible visions on the #fediverse is what makes it so powerful. Quite happy with this.
