@dansup I missed this the first time. Thank you so much for the kind words. I'm so impressed with the good work you've done. And I love using Pixelfed!

I have a confession. I installed my Mastodon server software on my VPS that is marketed as a "storage" VPS. 😎 How awesome is that? 😎 It has a 1TB SSD anyway and 18GB of RAM, so why not increase the RAM usage? 😎 #mastodon #fediverse #selfhosting #vps #storageserver #tech #geek #itstudent #humane_tech #decentralisation #openweb #technology #sysadmin #bigstorage #ram #ssd #doityourself #coding #linux #serverlife #webhosting #diytech #compute #network #activitypub #awesome #engineering

@stefano I guess it's Tatsuya Tanaka!

@projetslibres_podcast probablement mon épisode préféré à aujourd'hui ! J'adore l'idée de tendre le micro non seulement à celleux qui font du logiciel libre, mais aussi aux utilisateur.rice.s! En plus, cette conversation donne vraiment la patate! On sent l'enthousiasme de @_elena, ça donne envie de se lancer!

@diggita @fediverso Fatto :)

Tech people talk about tech too much. I really really REALLY want to use all the awesome privacy friendly FOSS (and similar) stuff, but I am not a techie person! I don't know how to program, nor do I want to. And every SINGLE time I try to find out even what thing (OS, program, app, service, etc) to use, let alone how, and I search for it... I get techie-focused answers. It's complete gibberish to me! Absolutely useless. It makes me feel actively unwelcome even though I really care about using alternatives to Windows, Meta, X and other dystopic nonsense. For example: I'm like "How do I start a non-enshittified group chat to talk about a thing?" and all the results are technobabble to me. I don't even know if the words they use are supposed to be normal english words or if they refer to orgs or groups or apps or some weird coding wizardry. I am so lost, every single time. I stick with it though. But like. I wonder if the tech people realise that this is happening???? Because they probably understand what they're talking about. And they seem to not realise that not everyone does. I'm not trying to blame or shame anyone or even complaining as such (a little bit complaining, ngl), mostly just giving feedback. This is not an issue with a singe thing but with ALL of it as a whole! Including #GNU #Linux the #Fediverse #Matrix and most #FOSS apps. My sincere wish: Give non-techie people an EASY TO FIND and easy to read and easy to understand and easy to implement guide about how to use the things as an alternative to using big corporation services, ie, "I just want it to work" and not have to worry about the technical side of things.

"“I’m going back to the #Fediverse. Back to #Mastodon. To the nerds, the hobbyists, the idealists. The people who don’t talk about reach, but about relevance. To those who understand that decentralization isn’t nostalgic, it’s the future. That digital sovereignty isn’t a gimmick, it’s a survival strategy.Yes, the Fediverse is sometimes clunky, nerdy, uncomfortable. But it belongs to us" — @pallenberg, quoted (and translated) by @hildabast https://absolutelymaybe.plos.org/2025/10/30/a-mastodon-migration-from-bluesky-would-be-different/

@luca how do you solve the DNS and port problem?

@stefano Good morning 👋🏻You are entirely right: the real life is not behind our screens. Go outside and meet people that work/live differently than us: this is a good life’s lesson.Enjoy your day 🙏🏻🤗

@mpjgregoire it's true! I noticed that this sign wasn't charter-compliant. I guess it's for a specific language community that is notably cavalier in its strategies for disposal of construction materials.

Or somebody with a very nuanced opinion ... @julian @ltning
