If you took advantage of the free .LOL domain offer, transferred your domain to another registrar, and have since received an invoice from GEN.XYZ, I’d like to hear from you! 😬

@simondh OK, thanks for letting me know. Yikes. This isn’t good at all.

@prami I was wondering, is it possible to customize the favicon of an omg.lol hosted blog?

prami,
@prami@social.lol avatar

@mergesort I was about to respond with an enthusiastic "yes!" with some instructions on how to cram a favicon file into a weblog.lol """file""", and then I realized that there’s a broader favicon thing in place that would override all of that anyway. 😢 So the unfortunate answer right now is "ugh, no" but I’m going to work on this soon!

@mergesort Quick question — if you could use a custom favicon for all hosted omg.lol stuff (profile page and weblog), would that be helpful? I suspect it would be better than defaulting to your profile pic (the current behavior), but not as nice as what I’ll eventually do (much more granular control over favicons for separate things). If a custom one-size-fits-all solution will work for you, I can actually get that up and running fairly quickly (like, tonight). Let me know!

prami,
@prami@social.lol avatar

@mergesort OK, you got it. Stay tuned for an update!

prami,
@prami@social.lol avatar

@mergesort This is live now! You’ll find a new Favicon section at the bottom of the profile/web page editor. Upload any .ico file there and you’ll be good to go!

@mergesort oof! Checking into this. What browser are you running?

Two new profile page themes have been added to omg.lol: Nord (Winter) by @binarydigit, and Mastodon Inspired by Jordan Warne (https://jw.omg.lol). They both look superb! ⭐️

@prami I'm guessing the answer is no and it's totally understandable if not, but in the current weblog setup is there a way to publish posts to different destinations/subdomains? For example if I want to send some posts to blog.xyz.com and others to newsletter.xyz.com, is there some switch I can flip to make that happen or is it all or nothing?

prami,
@prami@social.lol avatar

@mergesort there isn’t today, but this is something that our upcoming content publishing system (Neato, https://neato.pub) could be made to handle.

Just a little over 24 hours remain on our five omg.lol lifetime address auctions. If having omg.lol for ✨life✨ sounds like your kind of thing, consider placing a bid! https://bids.lol

🎂 omg.lol is five years old! And that means it’s time for a discount and some lifetime address auctions!

You can save 50% on everything (new addresses, gift codes, and time on your existing address) with the promo code BIRTHDAY.

And we’re also doing five lifetime address auctions at https://bids.lol!

@prami Is there a way to configure a blog to have a sequential post path format? Rather than /Y/m/d I would like to do /1, /2, /3 for every page, but wasn't sure if that was possible with the current config file.

prami,
@prami@social.lol avatar

@mergesort Oh, that’s a great idea. There currently isn’t, but I’m putting that down for the upcoming new CMS/SSG!

prami,
@prami@social.lol avatar

@mergesort To be clear, you can do this currently, there’s just nothing in place to automate the incrementing. But you can absolutely slap a “Location: /1” or “Location: /42” in the metadata of any post and it’ll be served at that path.

If your email is provided by your web hosting company or domain registrar, there’s a good chance that a company called MailChannels is providing that service. MailChannels is a super nice company, but they recently made the sad decision to block inbound email from the omg.lol email server. I’ve tried to work with their support team to resolve this over the past two weeks, but they don’t seem to want to change their mind about it. 😥 (continues)

prami,
@prami@social.lol avatar

If you’re unable to receive forwarded email, you might have success opening a support ticket with your provider. MailChannels doesn’t seem interested in making a change based on my request, but maybe they’ll do it for their actual customers? One can hope, at least.

This might also be a great time to consider switching to a standalone email provider (one not tied to your hosting company or domain registrar), like Fastmail. I’ve used them for a decade and they’re the BEST! http://fastmail.com/omglol

The Taliban-controlled Afghanistan NIC has taken control of the domain queer.af, and the Mastodon instance hosted there is no longer easily accessible as a result. I’ve just added an entry to the social.lol server’s host file, though, so our instance can still talk to theirs! They’re in the process of migrating to a new domain, but at least this will make account migration and other federation operations go a little more smoothly for cross-instance follows.

We made it to the last day of our Valentine’s Day Extravaganza! I knew I had to do something awesome for today, but I wasn’t quite sure what, so I asked ChatGPT. It came back with a pretty cool answer, but it was too low so I squared it.
