<p>Instance admin. Not a professional sysadmin like some here; fuck me, I&#39;m not even a *good* sysadmin. But I wanted in on Mastodon, and &quot;Spin up your own server&quot; felt easier than figuring out which one to join</p><p>Goal is empathy, posts are typically about daily life and home / car / computer repairs and events I guess? I dunno, I&#39;ve been posting often enough you can just scroll and see</p>

    Should probably get a new profile pic, but no idea what the hell to use Like I&#39;m super not into having my photo taken (though that&#39;s being worked on with my fiancee), and I don&#39;t love the core concept of &quot;An identifying image of me is publicly visible on the internet&quot; But I grabbed what I currently use purely because I disliked it less than leaving it blank

    Anyone else noticed that monthly security updates for #Android only really became a thing for normal people after hardware started getting good enough to last more than 2 years?

    Can barely believe Microsoft threatened Valve with the locked-down Windows S build, and Valve&#39;s been slowly taking Microsoft&#39;s game market apart, piece-by-piece, ever since Using *Microsoft&#39;s own standards* feels like an &quot;And the horse you rode in on&quot; kinda move too

    Patiently [read: not-so-patiently] waiting for #LineageOS to officially support Zinwa&#39;s #BlackBerry #Q25 because good god do I not trust #Google Not enough that &#39;ADB disable&#39;-ing everything Google solves at least

    @redstrate@mastoart.social Had a Microsoft account that claimed I did need their super-secure app, but the OTP imported to Aegis just fine The truly broken one though, is &quot;Give us your phone number, we&#39;ll call or text you&quot; - which, fuck no I won&#39;t, you will get a burner number that auto-answers and spams your &quot;Authorize session&quot; button&quot; (2, in this case)

    @MissingThePt@mastodon.social The Italian Olympic village ran out of condoms in three days, ...and we&#39;re assuming they&#39;re going to *fight* each other?

    @iro_miya@mk.absturztau.be Without wanting to fill my *own* disks with this poorly thought out half-idea... *Can* you download /dev/urandom from a remote server? Likely to a RAMdisk that, when full, deletes itself, then starts over? I mean I don&#39;t want to waste your time with this garbage, but it also feels dumb enough to fit

    @N33R Warner Brothers has been warning us against consumerism for decades, and I&#39;m just now hearing their message

    Disappointed by KDE&amp;#39;s &amp;quot;Dolphin&amp;quot; file explorer not displaying previews for some files, I threw an unrefined, half-assed search at DDG to see what other Arch users have seen And frankly, I&amp;#39;m not sure what else I should have expected

    Kinda wish Mastodon showed &amp;quot;You last sent a follow request on $date&amp;quot; - as it stands I&amp;#39;m stuck with adding a note on a profile, because before I started doing that I&amp;#39;m... 90%(?) sure I cycled through &amp;quot;Hey, neat!&amp;quot; -&amp;gt; Req. to Follow -&amp;gt; Silently denied -&amp;gt; Weeks pass, and someone boosts one of their posts again -&amp;gt; Return to 10 at least a few times

    Pulling a single line from a comment on the orange site, which I just found and consider important to consider: &amp;quot;People are used to living in highly regulated markets&amp;quot;

    Went through the mod &amp;amp; install for the second #ZinwaQ25 kit I had, and playing with #Lineageos 23.2 currently, and it&amp;#39;s kinda fun seeing in the component health screen a battery cycle of &amp;#39;1&amp;#39;

    @aesthr On the topic of future tech in museums: &gt; Thanks to this “cloud rot,” an Android retrospective won’t be possible in a few years Pulled from a decade-old Ars write-up that, fittingly, probably could not be written today https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2016/10/building-android-a-40000-word-history-of-googles-mobile-os/

    Reading about how the Bundestag is moving from Signal to Wire, and (while I&#39;d have appreciated the move to Matrix more, as it aligns with where *everyone else is going*), It actually makes sense, to me at least, to trust your work-provided eMail address, provided and supported by the paid professional, more than a cell phone number SS7 / bad telco actors can&#39;t really fuck with email domains (especially government ones) like they can phone numbers AFAIK

    Good god We all had a good laugh with the work-friend that was pressed into service to unwillingly lead the #Vancouver #SunRun team, And I have every intention of doing so again next year - in fact more people are already saying they&#39;ll sign up if he&#39;s pushed to lead again But oh god my calves Perhaps I should have trained
