@ayo I also love how you shared their link on Mastodon, of the post "please don't share us on Mastodon" 😂

@ayo I mean if you serve all your assets and HTML via CDN, you shouldn't notice server load 🤷

@ricard@ricard.social avatar

@ayo Feels like the public roadmap is for one not clear enough and sometimes not well prioritized.

Working on quote posts rather than these critical DDoS issues, or moderation tools seems wrong to me.

@weebdeluxe I recently bought the portable #ANBERNIC RG35XX and I have been rocking #Pokemon Emerald 🤩

I totally get what you're saying in the post, specially about portability.

I just searched for something on and got a “DuckAssist” at the top of the results, right below the ads (of course).

It was basically a ChatGPT like message as if I’d typed the question there.

Stop 👏 putting 👏 👏 in 👏 every 👏 fucking 👏 thing!

@kev 😑 Is it time to change search engine? was my go to.

🎉 Project /threads now live!

🔗 https://ayco.io/threads -- a way to select social posts and (in the future) offer fine-grained topical subscriptions.

Depending on your requirements & resources, you can also have your own threads deployed on your site, either of the two options

  • personal.site/threads
  • threads.personal.site

This is the first of some tiny self-hostable apps I plan to work on, that can be composed together.

@ayo Interesting! Since you already self-host your Mastodon instance, seems a bit redundant 🤔

Have you read any of these?

Look at this cute little thing 🤩

It emulates a dozen consoles with hundreds of games (already included).

Will start by rocking some old Pokemon games :ablobcatbongo:

If you're interested, it's called: ANBERNIC RG35XX Plus.

Can we please have all the games play in this time? It's just perfect for Barcelona (7PM :blobcataww:)

@Galley That's awesome, do you usually go to the park?

Are the tickets cheap?

Planned to do some group study with my friend and in 4 hrs we studied for 15 minutes. 😮‍💨

@itaakesama I never did these when I was studying back then.

Do they usually work out, or are they always 15 min? 😁

I've been convinced by friends to reopen my Pokemon Go account. If you are playing it, add me! and message if you did so I know 😄

@ayo Such a coincidence I just arrived at my hotel (Fukushima) and a woman was playing at it while stepping into the elevator.

I could never be hooked to it. Back when it started the combat mechanic was so bad. Not sure if that has changed.

Manga is ridiculously cheap (around 2€ per regular volume)

If only I could read Japanese 😂

@vascorsd it's a very valid question, thought the same thing.

I think it would take a huge effort though. It doesn't seem worth it just to read manga.

I really enjoy following @ricard and how he organized all his web stuff. A good example of “owning your content”. I learned a lot from his blogs on stuff and he posts a lot about his . Inspiring stuff!

So I regularly run "tootctl statuses remove" on my self-hosted Mastodon server.

Still, I somehow have 1,344,736 statuses in my DB. Any tips how to clean things up?

Ideally I'd like to run something like:

tootctl statuses remove --days=90 --include-follows

@stefan I'd also be interested 💡

I wrote this but wondering if maybe there are more commands that we could add to it to keep it extra lean:

🆕 blog! “Updates to ActivityPub in a single PHP file”

A few weeks ago, I built an ActivityPub Server in a Single PHP File. It's a proof of concept showing how easy it is to turn a website into a full-featured Fediverse participant. After a bunch of feedback and testing, I've added a some features to make it slightly more useful. A single PHP file […]
