I would like to add my Mastodon instance to my browsers search engines list. Interestingly, Miskey and Sharkey and some other federated platforms I've been to are already added.
I'm getting great results for content from my Mastodon search than Google and Bing, + no ads, and tracking.
“Asked about Mr Johnson being turned away, Northern Ireland Secretary Chris Heaton-Harris, who served as his chief whip, told BBC Radio: ‘As someone who knows Boris well, I can't say it completely surprises me...’”
With a new server set up, the next step in the great migration was to start moving services to it from the cloud. First up, my toy encrypted secret sharing service!
Need to check it out properly. I’m currently using a self hosted instance of password pusher for secret sharing, but I think this might be overwhelming for some people, as it’s got so many options and buttons …
When you are deploying code to a server and not with containers then it is critical to know how to properly restart Opcache. Why? Opcache never throws old files out of the cache. Therefore, if a new version is deployed in a completely new directory, all files from the old version will remain in the [...]
@symfonystation I’ve been using systemctl restart php-from for a long time.
The problem with any of these other tools is that they always rely on some php code to refresh the opcache. But what if the opcache has an outdated version of that code cached?
I’ve been bitten by it a couple of times. So restart php-fpm is far more reliable for me.
The #Anglican tradition has a daily reading lectionary where you read 4 or so chapters each day and go through the NT 2-3 times in a year, and the OT once (depends on which lectionary you use.)
I've been doing this awhile, and had the habit down, but health made me focus on essentials for a time and I got behind for about a month.
In my catch-up phase, I decided to just treat the epistles as single-sitting readings.
And you know, I'll probably do this more often. There's value in chapter breaks, but honestly: if it's a two-page letter, it shouldn't take five days to read it (I'm looking at you 1 Peter.)
Anyway. Just stating the obvious: the #Bible is full of short stories and letters and small, concrete narratives. You should read them that way. That's how they were meant to be read!
@lentenmass It's amazing when you think that even letters like Corinthians where really just that: one letter that was likely read in one go by the receiving Church.
Yet, in our Church we are just about half way through a series on 1 Corinthians that I don't even remember when we started anymore 😆
(not suggesting there isn't also immense value in detailed study and sermons - but you do get a different perspective when you read large chunks in one go)
Pretty cool stuff. Though I'm also wondering if leaving the connection open and reusing it repeatedly might have downsides too, especially if I have need to connect to many different hosts?
@nicoverbruggen I made the switch from QWERTZ to QWERTY many years ago.
My phone keyboard actually has three layouts (QWERTY, QWERTZ, and Arabic). Annoyingly it’s simple to switch accidentally, and you can easily not notice, as QWERTY and QWERTZ are very similar, until you randomly start mixing up your X’s and Y’s, or just use the ‘wrong’ quotation mark 🙄😂
I just had an impressively pleasant customer service experience with @fastmail. Turns out it wasn't even their issue, but they responded quickly and in exactly the level of detail I needed.
It's so sad that it's so uncommon that it's worth tooting about...
@Crell been with @fastmail for a number of years myself now.
Must admit my support experience with them is decidedly mixed. I’ve only had reason to contact their support twice. The first time they took forever to respond, and the response was completely useless. The second time was much better.
At least they do have support though, and to be fair their product itself is great and very good value for money, imo!
