I just found Mapstodon : a very nice interactive map of #Mastodon instances and their public timeline, grouped by region and interest.

I just gotta say, I don’t get on #Mastodon very often, but every time I do, I come away feeling happy and peaceful. Like I just spent some time hanging out with some interesting and laid back people who I hope to run into again.

@esmail Ah, thanks! Yeah, I'd need to use a better server for that probably.

@esmail I'll have to learn mailcow another day. I tried yunohost.org, but that took up way too much server memory.

@esmail That's exactly what I used this morning! :) Reading the script, I can see how it could have been much more work.

@esmail Haha! Yes, I'm having the "Wow, it works!" feeling today. :D

@esmail @delta No, sorry my wording was confusing. I made my own regular Dovecot/Postfix server for use with DeltaChat. Learning how to do it is what I was excited about. :)

@delta Oh good! 'Cause as it is, that's going to be confusing for normal people.

@mcg Yeah, me learning how to do it is what I was excited about. :)

@delta
I was planning on posting a suggestion to the forums that the error message include a link with better instructions! The "You may want to send an Autocrypt setup message from there" error is very vague! How!?

@mcg @delta Just a regular email server that I'm only using for DeltaChat so far. No extra stuff like webmail or database storage or CardDAV/CalDAV.

@delta Cool. Understood. Do the timestamps also include the time to send read receipts? That might explain how 4 seconds feels like 1 on the devices.

@pescetarian Ha! Yes. I used this script (github.com/LukeSmithxyz/emailw) on a cheap KVM VPS from here (racknerd.com/kvm-vps). Just learning how to do it.

@delta Is that the tap & hold received message> "i" circle icon > Sent/Received time codes? Picture took 30 seconds according to that then, while text takes 4, but it felt way faster in the devices.

@delta Yeah, it took a few more seconds to upload the image. The little animated circle icon was probably indicating that. Whereas plain text is very close to instant. Not a problem, just obviously needs to transfer more data.

I successfully made my own server for @delta! Woo hoo! Only using 215Mb RAM on a VPS so far.

@Pattyagray Nice! Here's 2001 for me: web.archive.org/web/2001020206 It even had a responsive design for smartphones before smartphones existed. :)

@Pattyagray I can't find any of my stuff before 2001 on the Wayback Machine and that was after I moved on from Geocities.

@Pattyagray Nice! I wish I could still find my old Geocities site. I was in the "Silicon Valley" neighborhood if I remember correctly.

Mastohost @mastohost is taking on new accounts again. You can get your own Mastodon server for $6 a month! The great thing about it is they take care of the software, you do not need to be technical to run a server.

Mastohost is where sauropods.win is hosted, and I can recommend them. Support is top-notch, and it's all been smooth sailing.
