Giving #LineageOS a shot on my old Pixel 4. Hoping to see how much of my life I can replicate on FOSS software. There will be work-related stuff that won't move over, but so far, I've got the basics covered.
@roadriverrail It seems like many people like the Matrix bridge workflow for Discord, Slack, etc. I briefly tried to get it to work, but didn't get very far.
it really doesn't matter what eugen thinks or does, mastodon is open source and we can take the ball, the whole field, all of the goalposts and the players, and go wherever we like
tbqh it's us who need to stop treating eugen like some tech CEO who must be deferred to, and .social as 'too big to defederate'
.social would be a pretty terrible social network all on its own, so it's actually us who give them legitimacy, and not the other way around
@yonabee Yes. Double yes. It's time to stop thinking of the Fediverse as being "Mastodon compatible" and instead treat Mastodon as needing to be "Fediverse compatible". They can take it or leave it, there's more of us than there are of them, and that will only grow over time.
@shadowfacts I have a narrow column (iPad) but I’m not sure how to change the size of it to fill the space or if I’m supposed to do something different.
@shadowfacts Ohhhhh I think I get it. It adds columns as you dive into conversations. I was either trying to get my main column to fill the width or to add “Notifications” as a column. I was wrong on both.
I’m writing a brief guide for how to set up OBS to livestream with #Owncast and #PeerTube. What questions do y’all have? What do you want to know about?
@ShredderFeeder@deadsuperhero As far as Owncast goes, while you might publicly see a lot of individuals looking to be seen with it, the most successful use of the software are organizations privately treating it like any other infrastructure. Those who have an existing need to livestream something, so they install a livestreaming server for their conference, or training, or broadcast of some sort. It’s less novelty, and more solving a problem they have, just like an email server or web server would be. But these use cases are rarely public.
@zachleat The fewer proprietary components I have to use in Next, the better. I just use the img tag. Next’s static export has worked pretty well for me so far. But I know it won’t last forever and I’ll have to find a replacement at some point.
@josh@Aphrodite@matrix Isn't the beauty of Matrix is it's decentralized? There's no way to block every Matrix server, I'm curious what's going on there.
One thing about the web is that it requires you relinquish control.
If you're a government, you can't control the flow of information.
If you're a designer, you can't control the exact placement of pixels.
If you're a developer, you can't control how content will flex and bend across devices, inputs, etc.
If you want to work with the web, give up the idea of control and your expectations will be properly set from the outset (which helps you avoid disappointment and/or disillusionment).
@jalcine@JoeGrowling I didn’t know about those links until I saw Jacky posting them a couple weeks ago. So, then I had to build automation to create those links that get added to my Fediverse profile.
I’ve been looking for an ngrok alternative for a while now that’s (a) affordable (b) easy to use and (c) works with Kitten¹. Today, after testing a bunch of them again and getting fed up, I found LocalXpose that checks all the boxes.

@aral Just want to throw this in, as it’s something I use myself: http://serveo.net/ since it’s free, convenient, and uses existing tooling. But it’s less turnkey.
