@greenhombre @mogul @tchambers link to your mastodon profile from your website using the rel=“me” attribute, add that url to your profile. Looks like this:
@tallship I think Shawn has come around on Mastodon since then.
@tallship He left for Nicaragua, but I'm not sure what he's up to these days.
This stuff is never free anywhere but the scale of Big Tech insulates you from it somewhat.
I actually think it’s good to be reminded that our ability to communicate comes with a cost – in terms of resources, environmental impact, etc., not just money.
But, equally, it also makes the case that a system optimised to host hundreds of thousands of people on a single instance is not also somehow magically optimised to host just one person.
The latter is the problem I’m exploring with #SmallWeb.
What happens when you have your own Mastodon instance (just for you) where over 21,000 people follow you and when you’re following over 4,300 people?
You end up paying ~€50/month for Mastodon hosting 👀
It also opens up interesting questions: what happens when a popular account joins your instance (hint: it will probably cost the instance maintainers quite a bit… I don’t envy the mastodon.nu folks right now).
For the #Linux and #opensource people out there who are curious about #eBPF, I wrote up some thoughts on the recent eBPF Summit with links to a few particularly good talks. Enjoy! https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/developer/articles/community/highlights-from-the-ebpf-summit-2022.html
@bryanruby yep. I believe that’s why they are disabled on Librem.one. Privacy focus means avoiding a false sense of security.
@gcluley FunnyNotFunny
@shawnp0wers @walkah following.
@kyle @shawnp0wers @Wildbill I see what you did there. :)
@Christy It was really helpful back in the day!
@shawnp0wers @kyle @Wildbill isn’t all software? 🤔😂
@kyle @Wildbill @shawnp0wers I’m planning to give masto.host a try for the podcast when it opens back up.
@dmarti That *is* impressive. Especially right now.
@jbaert nice! I’m better with German though, so I guess I’ll go with #mastodonnerstag
@jared your bio is awesome. Get the vim/bash thing out in the open first thing. 😄
@jared early Twitter was organic before anyone cared about monetizing it.
@genebean @starshaped I’ve seen them. They have some beautiful covers. There was one a while back that was a crane on a red cover that I really liked, but it sold out.
