Have you ever clicked on an account to see its profile, but the profile looks blank? In most cases the account isn't really blank!

What's usually going on is no one on your server follows that account. If you follow it, its posts will start gradually showing up on your server too.

More info (including how to check what a blank account really looks like) at:

The guide also explains how to prevent your own account looking blank to others.

If you see a post with a blurry image, it's probably an older post from a different server. When you view the same post again later the proper clear image will usually appear.

This happens because servers store copies of images from other servers in their cache, but empty their cache after a certain period and only fetch an image again if needed.

It may also happen if there's a problem with a server's media storage provider. Your admin can help if that's the case.

There is a built-in mechanism in Mastodon's server software which reduces how often you see the same post boosted again and again.

If you have seen a post boosted, boosts of the same post are automatically hidden from you until 80 other posts have passed through your timeline.

This mechanism previously allowed boosts to repeat after 40 other posts. The developers recently doubled this to 80 other posts, so repeated boosts should be much rarer now.

Neuer Artikel: podman auf dem Desktop – wann der Umweg über den Container Sinn macht.

Drei Fälle aus der Praxis:
• Software, die alte Bibliotheken oder eine bestimmte Datenbankversion braucht
• Closed-Source-Apps, die sonst das ganze Home-Verzeichnis sehen
• Tools, die man nur kurz testen will

Dazu der ehrliche Teil: wo Kamera, Mikro und X11 die Isolation wieder auffressen.

If you're uploading videos to PeerTube, there are several different visibilities you can choose:

Public - Everyone can see it
Private - Only you can see it
Unlisted - Only people with the link can see it
Internal - Only members of your PeerTube server can see it
Password - Only people with the video's password can see it

You can use Unlisted or Password if you want to give early or exclusive access to a video, for example to your patrons, or to members of a group.
