Heute vor 8 Jahren erschien Lance Ulanoffs Artikel »Six Reasons Mastodon Won't Survive« bei Mashable. Sein stärkstes Argument: William Shatner konnte ihn auf der Plattform nicht finden.

Mastodon läuft noch. Mashable nicht mehr so wirklich.

Was Ulanoff damals wie viele andere nicht verstanden hat: Mastodon wollte nie Twitter sein. Kein Investor, kein Monetarisierungszwang, keine zentrale Kontrolle – das waren keine Schwächen, sondern gewollt.

Acht Jahre später schreibt er bei TechRadar Microsoft-Lobbyismus und KI-Hype. Konsistent immerhin. 😂

Hey Fediverse… please be careful out there. I’ve been seeing way too many people getting targeted lately, and it honestly hurts to watch.

Social engineering scams
If someone randomly DMs you offering “commissions,” don’t trust it. They’ll act friendly, ask about your avatar or artwork, then try to get money out of you. Once you pay, they disappear or send stolen/AI stuff.
Real artists don’t usually approach people like this. Stick to people with real portfolios and trusted reputations.

Phishing links
Be careful with links from people you don’t trust. Some are made to look legit but aren’t like slightly altered URLs or links that look safe but send you somewhere else.

If something feels off, trust that feeling. Don’t click, don’t send money, and don’t engage.

Please stay safe. 💔

I don't want the #Fediverse to grow because I see "growth" as an intrinsic good.

I want the Fediverse to grow because I see commercial social media as a major threat to the long-term survival of human civilization. Thus, we need to replace it - and right now, the Fediverse seems to be the best alternative we have.

If you are begging me for commissioning you with out a portfolio. Get out of my DMs and don't come until you have an art profolio or carrd.io (with commission stuff).

I have been getting over 100+ DMs people are begging to commission them.

I will make a long post after this post

Hey #Fediverse,

Need your help to recognize some electronics defect.
It seems the beurer massage gun I have is showing that it is continuously charging even when not connected.

I opened it and I see that one resistor has blown up in half.

The problem I have is that I don't know which one should I get to replace it. I didn't find the pcb ref or design ofc.

Any ideas?
Yes its a shot in the dark, but who know :p

#electronics #fedihelp

Alt...

PCB with a blown up resistor. The resistance is missing on the pcb

Alt...

The downside of the pcb with the usb-c connecror. Nothing on this side seems to have taken a hit. The sponge on the right sits on the other side of the pcb on top of the missing resistor, hence why the burned up marks.

Alt...

Another view of the missing resistor.

Did quite some maintenance on burningboard.net Mastodon instance today ..

Updated servers and jails to FreeBSD 15.0-RELEASE-p5

1.
proxy_cache_path (S3 media cache) was already on a ZFS dataset with autosnapshot disabled .. But proxy_temp_path and client_body_temp_path (both nginx temp folders) weren't. Leading to extremely bloated daily ZFS snapshots for the Nginx jail. Changed those and cleaned old snapshots -> 31GB reclaimed space

2.
Cleaned up Database Snapshots and did a pg_repack on prod to reclaim deleted database pages -> 3GB reclaimed space

3.
Fixed issue with backend path over gif tunnel to Elasticsearch (6in6). Turned out to be a MSS issue (clamp-mss to 1140 solved it!)

4.
Fixed IPv6 routing issue for Prometheus Monitoring after reboot (rc.d static_routes != ipv6_static_routes)

All in all, our instance is in very good shape again :-)
