An astounding image of our moment at the precipice:

Climate activists standing against the inhuman-scale machinery of the open-pit Lützerath brown coal mine, with a wind farm visible in the distance.

@rra @rlafuente if you want to have a nice homepage like we do in ciberlandia.pt, just create some nice page and put it in some directory, like:

/home/mastodon/live/custom-index/

and then add these rules to your nginx config file:

#########################
# START CUSTOM HOMEPAGE #
#########################

location /welcome {
rewrite ^ /welcome/ redirect;
}

location /welcome/ {
alias /home/mastodon/live/custom-index/;
}

location = / {
if ($cookie__session_id = "") {
rewrite ^/$ https://ciberlandia.pt/welcome/ redirect;
}
try_files $uri @proxy;
}

#######################
# END CUSTOM HOMEPAGE #
#######################

Hope this helps.

Redundancy is when you only need to bother with fixing stuff when the last of the redundant services goes down.

guess what i'm working on

This is an incredibly stupid take on Mastodon, and I lost brain cells reading it.

If you are using mobile linux with T-mobile/a T-mobile MVNO, you may have noticed that sending MMSes stopped working recently.

I figured out the issue and released a new version of mmsd-tng to fix it:

https://gitlab.com/kop316/mmsd/-/tags/2.1.0

https://gitlab.com/kop316/mmsd/-/tags/1.13.0 .

1.x uses libsoup2 and 2.x uses libsoup3, there shouldn't be any differences between the versions besides that.

Lol, there's no better endorsement of Mastodon than the fact it's apparently become the new "pronouns in bio" to right wing chuds

After almost 2 months using Mastodon and not using twitter here are my conclusions

- It's easy to control your TL in Mastodon, follow a lot of interesting people, create lists so you don't loose a lot of posts and that's it, sure you can do the same on twitter, but that's not how the app want's to be used, so it could be a bit of a struggle

- Twitter thrives on conflict, sure Mastodon is a bit of a echo chamber, but twitter really has a knack to put posts that have a high probability to make your blood boil constantly front and center in your TL.

- Most instances on Mastodon actually know what free speech is and have clear rules against hate speech and bullying, harassment and the heartwarming things that were often seen on twitter like doxxing, stalking and so on. Is it perfect, hell no, but I feel that there is a openness to learn and improve, not dig deeper and deeper trenches

- The biggest positive twitter has or had, even this is changing, were it's users.

- The future is hard to imagine at this point, but I'm truly curious to see how this is going to turn out
