@ada & @supakaity how big in RAM and CPU is the machine running Blahaj.zone?

I'm wondering about running a small generalistic instance since OCI gives me free resources

Dear Firefox stop trying to force me to use Z instead of S, how many times do I have to tell you I use British spelling?

maikel, to random

So you're telling me this very limited list of instances have veto power over what gets fediblocked?

This is starting to feel like 1 mod in Reddit running 20 of the popular subs.....

maikel,

@kkarhan what's a kiwifarm?

maikel,

@kkarhan how do you farm kiwis? Do you get the fruit inside the farm or call a bunch of neozelanders then close the door? How does that work?

I need answers Kevin

We need to talk about this KEVIN!😆

maikel,

@kkarhan wait...what I googled, so a kiwi farm is a bunch of trolls that go after people out of ....boredom?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kiwi_Farms

This doesn't make any sense.

maikel,

@kkarhan this is starting to sound familiar, was there a a documentary recently about all this?

maikel,

@kkarhan are you sure you're german and not mediterranean? such passion is more typical of us

maikel,

@kkarhan and by the way why are you serving your site over httpS with a broken key?

Have you been introduced to certbot?

maikel,

@kkarhan you could point the domain to vercel and they'll do the HTTPS for you all for free, in fact https://maikel.dev/ is hosted for free. YOu could also use github pages, in fact https://blog.maikel.dev/ is using it.

Both have SSL.
Both are free.

I don't think it is irrelevant when you're offering IT services. In fact, any other IT guy thinking in hiring might look at that and think "why on earth is he not using SSL when it is free nowadays"?

Don't take me too seriously though, what would I know? I can't even find a job.

maikel,

@kkarhan I could do it for you :P

maikel,

@kkarhan fair enough

20:45 In bed and all four of my cats are here sleeping next to me. Actually, Trini is lying on top of me. Hoping that I will sleep better tonight.

maikel,

@jo I can't stop LOLing thinking on the antipode to where I am there's a cat called TRINI

La Trini is in Australia!! Mwahahaha!

The fact firefish.social made it into Tier 1 Oliphant blocklist says more about the list that it says about FF social.

Does the Spanish idiom "dressing saints" translate to English?

As in

I've got a breakfast date, I'm not going to stay at home dressing saints.

Meaning> he quedado con alguien para desayunar, no me voy a quedar en casa vistiendo santos.

maikel,

@ada

My mind just imagine Chris Hemsworth fighting a giant spider.

I think we've got the plot of and title of a new marvel movie. 🤣

As you all know I'm financially F'ed and is the first of the month in just 32 minutes so please help.

THERE ARE TWO WAYS TO HELP

First way

My goal is offering my services as a cloud systems administrator and software engineer to get at max 5 permanent clients, and go back to what I was doing for 4 years happily ever after.

I'm already testing the whole system, streamlining the process, even have a customer portal dedicated to this that is going to be plugged to something similar to this page in fact you can already hire me using it.

To get there I've been doing courses about marketing, sales, getting clients, web development business since those are my setbacks, the bits of running my own company that I never learnt because I started the company already having a first permanent client who used my 40 weekly hours.

The best way you could help is simply figuring if YOU could be a client. My rates are on that preview, you can always just ask me if I can collaborate on X idea you have. I have absolutely nothing better to do right now than to answer you.

This solves the problem in the long-term.

Second way

You can instead help me by directly donating here. It won't be a definitive solution but it'll surely buy me time to avoid living under-a-bridge by the 3rd of September if not earlier & buy groceries.

I've managed to reduce the time Stripe takes to pay me by recovering my very old (and verified) account, so now instead of 14 days from the moment anyone donates it's gone to 7 days. If you're in the EU in the same page there are Revolut and Monzo links that are both instant.

500€ euros buys me a month, 2000€ gets me back in London getting a McJob now that I've managed to reduce my visits to my dentist to once every 3 months (and just had one).

Ultimately what I use depends on FEATURES. I don't care about fedidrama.

If Firefish develops features faster than Iceshrimp I'll switch.
If Iceshrimp develops features faster than Firefish I'll stay.

So FAR, I'm finding very hard to run my own dev version with Iceshrimp while with FF it's damn easy.

I might drop them both and use the one of my goddess since she's much better coder than I'll ever be, and she'll merge whatever's good from either anyway.

We'll see.

People on PLEROMA or AKKOMA (specifically)

Do you see this text as crossed out text?

#askfedi #askpleroma #askakkoma

(in fact could anyone reply with a screenshot?)

EDIT: So far people see it correctly on:

  • Calckey/Firefish
  • Iceshrimp/Hajkey
  • Misskey
  • Glitch Soc
  • Friendica

And incorrectly on:

  • Mastodon.

Wait what, I could get credit card payments in GBP/USD/EUR directly into my Revolut account? Why didn't I know this before?

maikel,

@kkarhan @tretron nevermind, I heard crypto I run away in the opposite direction.

THIS was 35€ and I've got no idea how's that possible. When did chicken thighs get this pricey?

maikel,

@kkarhan that's the point I didn't check because they are usually cheap but once I paid I wondered and back home I did the math and like...wait what...7€+ per kg? Just because they are fillets?

FUCK OFF FILLETS

maikel,

@kkarhan @fuchsiii who's that? husband? martian? your mother in law? girlfriend? dog? all of the above?

maikel, to random

Drone bomb me

maikel,

@kkarhan cough cough
