Good morning Fedi friends

Good morning Fedi friends!

Sorry if I've been quiet over here, but I've been busy preparing my presentation for @berlinfediday, writing blog posts and also prepping for podcast and radio interviews. It's been a really busy month 😅​

My little FOSS win of the day is convincing my husband to open up an account on @wallabag as Pocket is closing down. He had selected a centralized read-it-later service but I insisted: "if a FOSS alternative exists, go for it" so he did 🥳​

Now dashing off to rehearse my #BerlinFediDay presentation that needs to be 12 minutes or less. A challenge since I could talk about the Fediverse and my love for it for HOURS.

Have a great rest of the week... and maybe see you in Berlin this weekend ​

[andypiper@macaw.social]

@elena @berlinfediday yes, but I get 12 minutes *after you*, so nobody will be listening to me, their minds will be blown by you already!

[elena@aseachange.com]

@andypiper @berlinfediday well I'm feeling the pressure of presenting BEFORE YOU! I'm like the opening act for a rock star 😅​

[madduci@mastodon.social]

@elena @berlinfediday @wallabag enjoy the weekend! Here in Berlin it's pretty cold, but the sun shines!

Dress like an onion, it might be extremely warm in some places and cold outside

@madduci thank you for the great advice Michele! 🙏

[whitehotaru@masto.ai]

@elena @berlinfediday @wallabag looking forward to your talk. Your mastodon posts introduced me to @yunohost which is now the technical base for some small community services.

[andypiper@macaw.social]

@elena @berlinfediday not even! You got it in reverse my friend 🤩

[elena@aseachange.com]

@whitehotaru awww thank you! It makes me so happy to hear you’ve discovered the amazing @yunohost (bc of my toots) and you’re using it for your community. Day = made ☺️

Before the end of the year I will definitely write a step-by-step installation guide for YunoHost (from the POV of newbies).

@andypiper let's just settle this as a mutual admiration society then 🤗

by the way on Tuesday I gave you a shout-out during my radio interview about my Fediverse journey... because as it turns out I discovered (by looking back at my files from Oct 2022) that you were the first account I ever followed on the Fediverse... and it's thanks to you that I first heard about Mastodon. I owe you BIG TIME ​

[andypiper@macaw.social]

@elena oh, is the radio interview available to listen to?

[ozoned@social.ozoned.net]

@andypiper, @elena is practicing through all the different interviewers before she's on the BIG show. Fireside Fedi. That's the one that matters. ;-)

Hopefully some day I'll be able to join you at @berlinfediday@berlin.social.

Best of luck to you both on your presentations. I expect afterwards you have a duel to see who is the most Fedi passionate.

[elena@aseachange.com]

@andypiper I think they’ll publish it soon… but it’s in French. I’ll let you know the time code of your shout-out (even if it’s super painful for me to re-listen to my voice LOL)

[elena@aseachange.com]

@ozoned haha yes I’ve got another podcast interview on Monday ( @projetslibres_podcast ) and then Fireside Fedi awwwwwww. I can’t wait ❤️

And looking forward to
@andypiper ‘s presentation tomorrow. The perk of going first is that I can relax for the rest of the day 🤗

[andypiper@macaw.social]

@elena aha! I'm really getting to test my terrible understanding of other languages at the moment. I'd be interested to hear, anyway.
