Second time my drafts have completely vanished on @ivory

I’m this close to exploding

Why does it feel like Signal will just fall down the same enshitification hole that Telegram did?

“Free” service…gonna need to make some real money somehow eventually.
It’s got leg up on TG now but really not in the mood of jumping platforms again. (That and I barely use TG anyway, just a few friend groups that aren’t elsewhere).

Feel like I was the last furry using Pidgin for YIM, Gtalk, AIM, MSN, and Skype… avoided TG as long as possible until everyone was there and gone from other services.

Automat action. @fattykun would approve.

Croquet log thing that I can only describe as filled with country gravy, or something just like it. Tasty and instantaneous.

Well that took all fuckin day but I think I got the ups/nut configuration working again. Update broke it awhile back and have grated my face on it previously but now it's crunch time and finally got it done.

Full test would involve draining UPS battery too and seeing what happens and verify things happen as expected / quick enough but really rather not cycle those batteries more than necessary, it never likes that.

Also proxmox notification stuff prev upgraded and finally got that working too.

Are there any open source plug-in devices (or wire-in, or via CTs) that measure and log (to the s or ms or whatever) the voltage and frequency of a home's power?
It's 4am and I notice the incandescent lights periodically dim, even though no loads are clicking on inside the house (so, some kind of large load happening outside / brownout?).
Just curious when the dips are and if there’s any pattern. (and if I also measured my home's current too could also differentiate the cause of a voltage dip).

That's a fucking lie #LinkedIn

Huh maybe if I saw this back in 1st year Uni I wouldn't've failed Calc 1 and would've stayed in the CS program? Could've been a dev. But nah, swapped over to IS&T degree (already met its math req). Kinda was more what I wanted to do anyway though. I still sometimes do wonder.

#MastoAdmin Had an outage while I was asleep and now there's a hole in my timeline because the server wasn't accessible to receive all the activitypub communication during that time.

All the other servers will probably retry sending most/all failed messages now that it's back up, correct?
Is there any way to force send out a "hey I'm alive now, resend me all the failed/retry items you got faster/now" to instances I'm currently federated with?
Whatever to backfill timeline/feed faster/at all?

Umm so uh.... has every search engine that DDG aggregates all flip on the "only show AI content farm bs" switch??

Past couple days... if you attempt to look up even basic facts or questions... 90% of the results are all garbage.

Apparently #uBlacklist supports syncing in lists... anyone know of one already for blocking this kinda crap? Or dare I spin up my own and share it? Blocked like 20 in just a couple days.

Love cast iron pans!
Wish they never fell out of "fashion" (and that's sadly exactly why they went away, when '50-70s introduced all kinds of "science" cooked up by duPont w/PTFE/PFOA/PFAS (which we're dealing w/cleaning up now) and styles/fashions introduced w/this now-disposable/fashionable cooking shit. Colors and styles that constantly change and look dated coupled with thin metal that's hard to cook with coupled with shitty coatings that fail. No need for any of it.

How come I've suddenly had three furries (that I actually know too) follow me on #Duolingo just now ? X>
I haven't even used it in a year or so.

Anyone here make the jump/upgrade from Proxmox 7 to 8?
How did it go? How long it take roughly? Any suggestions on guides (besides official documentation) or any issues to report or things to prepare for or check?
Been meaning to do it but dreading it. (And also dreading to find out it’s easy and I’ve delayed for nothing).
#Proxmox (maybe #MastoAdmin too, In case anyone else is hosting their instance or other stuff off PM).

I wonder how many furries are only on Threads.

What if there was a thermos that had some sort of built-in heat pump thing? Like the heat or cold of the fluid inside is enough to drive some reaction of the refrigerant? But would need some kind of additional power source too.

Called it

Hopefully they don't try resurrecting it
