@eco_amandine@pixelfed yes, that is possible via the post menu on the feed (in the new app), so you won’t have to lose your feed position and any posts by that account will be filtered!
We’re also working on a Block & Suggest feature that allows you to easily suggest to friend accounts to block that account with an optional note and the ability to share the context (post, comment, profile) of where you blocked them. It’s limited to Pixelfed, Wdyt? Would you find this useful?
Friends of #BSDCafe and the #Fediverse, for those who may not have heard, we recently lost Mike Karels - @karels - a truly significant figure in the history of our favorite operating systems. Among our BSD Cafe community, we have his niece - @kristin_charlotte
Let's show her family our warmth and gratitude for the role he played.
I've been thinking of starting a new #GhostIO newsletter as a guide to encourage more women, PoC, creatives, activists, social entrepreneurs, etc. to join #Mastodon. You know, my people from the other place.
Problem is: I can't come up with a clever name for it. Out of desperation I've turned to:
First of all: thank you for your amazing suggestions.
I'm thinking of staying away from Mastodon/elephant specific terms maybe... in case I want to discuss other areas of the #Fediverse in the future... like #Pixelfed and #PeerTube for example.
Here are my top contenders:
– Federated Futures
– The Future is Federated
– Seeds of Federation
@_elena@oskoo@ianRobinson@Tesqovara personally I prefer Federated Futures (why not FediFutures ?= fediverse+futures)
the FF provides you with good opportunities for a logo with good impact💪🏻
Very exciting that @drlucyrogers is here in the #fediverse! Let's welcome her! Great talk at #emfcamp about the science and wonders of looking up, so hoping to see that video available before too long 🎉
@pixelfed On the Instagram side of the internet we soon get unskippable ads and on the cool side we get total control over our data. Really hard to tell which service I like more... #not
I’m excited to say that I turned in my manuscript for the ActivityPub book for O’Reilly Media today. I started working on it in September of 2023, with a lot of interim checkpoints and deadlines since. In April 2024, I finished the first draft of the manuscript. Over the month of May, I’ve been working on improvements suggested by the technical reviewers who agreed to look over the book, and from my own re-read.
In total, my TODO file for this month has about 250 changes to be made. Some are small — just changing a word or two — but one required adding a whole new chapter, and many required multi-paragraph sections.
I took the last week of May off from my work at Open Earth Foundation to concentrate on making changes. My team was really supportive, which I deeply appreciated. I went to our country house in the Eastern Townships of Quebec, and I spent the week writing, editing, drawing and thinking.
Now, the next stage of book making starts: production. The production team at O’Reilly will be copyediting, indexing, and laying out the book. Their designers will be taking my UML diagrams and turning them into professional-looking illustrations. We have two rounds of quality control on code samples and fact checking on content.
In September 2024, the final e-book will be available for sale. I’ll have a link here for the pre-sale version when it comes out. If you’re eager to read the book, I highly recommend reviewing the early release version.
Thanks so much to my friends, family and colleagues who’ve made space and time for me to do this work. It has meant a lot to me. I hope the final product helps more developers create cool projects using ActivityPub.
@pixelfed Are you at some point fixing the missing NSFW toggle on the website or no? You have to click on every single image first (with all results being blurred) and then again to unblur it - which you have to do for every single image. There's no global setting under UI Settings to just show them clearly.
Let’s start our Tuesday morning with our #KoffeeWithKyle chat and discuss what our plans are for the day.
It’s just a regular ol’ work day here for me. The day to day IT/MSP stuff with support stuff mixed in between. Then tonight will just be some website work and relaxing so the my wife and watching TV.
Any other let’s plays that also publish their work as a podcast so I don’t have to hack a method of turning YouTube channels into podcasts? I know about gorillas play through but I’m looking for others. I turn all YouTube channels into podcasts anyway to avoid the ads and other cruff, but anything on #PeerTube? #Gaming#Games#YouTube#Podcasts#Podcast
The more I use @phanpy the more I love it. One of my favourite features is the catch-up tool, which allows you to fetch all posts within the last X hours and rank them however you want.
Oldest first is particularly useful to catch up with folks in very different timezones. You can also rank by number of replies, boosts... even by "density" of information (denser posts: longer ones or those with multimedia content). You can even group posts by author.
I'm currently trying to migrate a #mastodon server from masto.host to self-hosted and having problems (I already shut down the server, so I'm posting from an old account).
Does somebody know which files in the backup are which in the mastodon migration guide?
I'm also having trouble with restoring the PostgreSQL backup ('pg_restore: error: connection to server on socket "/var/run/postgresql/.s.PGSQL.5432" failed: FATAL: Peer authentication failed for user "mastodon"').
Thanks for any help!
(It would be nice if someone could boost this, because given that this is an old account, I don't think many people would see this post otherwise.)
