This tool lets me monitor the federation traffic from/to my Mastodon instance metalhead.club.

You can clearly see the other server locations - mainly in the US and Europe.

The tool is not ready for the public, but once it's finished and stable, I'll let you know :)

Video is showing a 3D globe in a web browser. Colorful arcs across cities in the globe show active ActivityPub connections.

lars,

@thomas nice, /sub

simono41,

@thomas Intrigued by your idea, I have now installed an extension in my Grafana dashboard that can measure traffic from my server in general. Of course not as nice as your solution, but thanks for the thought tip.

metalhead.club will place commercial advertising in Wacken!

Have I lost my mind? Maybe. metalhead.club will probably be the first Fediverse instance to place advertising in "real life"! I'm super excited about this experiment 🤘

@thomas 😱 this is so stupid and a waste of money. I love it 😁

@thomas @raisedfist @artem i think i'll also randomly approach people at brutal assault and ask them if they perhaps got a minute to talk about fediverse and do drugs

A new onboarding experience on Mastodon - Mastodon Blog

ksaj,

@thomas I know someone who will be very happy about quote toots. I hope they actually work properly, since the app workaround definitely didn't.

BenjaminHimes,

@thomas *perceived onboarding process 😣

We have a final design for our metalhead.club Billboard in Wacken (village of Wacken Open Air!)

A big "Thank you! 🙏 " goes out to @bestiaexmachina for her work on the design! ... and also thanks to all the members who contributed their ideas and thoughts - I named them all in the updated blog post:

https://blog.650thz.de/posts/advertising-metalhead-club-wacken/

I'm curious if other instances will follow and be able to place ads in the "real world", too? 🙂

Oh - don't forget to review your profile settings. As I've upgraded metalhead.club to the latest Mastodon release 4.2, the search bar has gotten MUCH more powerful.

But: To enable its potential, you need to make your posts searchable (if you like).

Pls boost to make people aware. There's no message / notification / warning about this feature. You should review your settings :)

"Preferences" => "Public profile" => "Privacy and reach", then check "Include public posts in search results"

Coolmccool,
@Coolmccool@mastodon.au avatar

@thomas Is this the same as /settings/preferences/other 'Opt-out of search engine indexing' - which is on by default?

Don't seem to have the options you mentioned in my UI > Firefox on Windows 11 64-bit (and same on the Windows app )

No sign of a 'public profile' ??

thomas,
@thomas@metalhead.club avatar

@Coolmccool no, this is another option which Co troler whether your profile is searchable on classic web search engines like Google, Bing etc.

If seems that your instance admin has not updated to the latest Mastodon version. Probably he/she will need more time :)

I have written down in my blog how I carry out the metalhead.club T-shirt campaigns and which suppliers / materials I use.

Maybe it will help some other Fediverse admins who have similar plans

@thomas thank you for sharing and for providing links to the items you used 👍
The eco friendly packaging is a good idea.

For us, the biggest challenge is having a supply of different sizes and models (unisex/girly) on a small scale. Hauling to each gig 😉

thomas,
@thomas@metalhead.club avatar

@moonshinebrigade very small scale ist getting difficult, I agree. Most supplier will print less that 20 t-shirts (with screen printing).

Im (Bio-) Hotel ist mir am Wochenende aufgefallen, dass die WLAN Accesspoints im Flur kleine Geräte aufgeklebt hatten.

Bei näherer Recherche hat sich herausgestellt, dass es sich um Hokuspokus handelt, der den angeblich schädlichen Anteil der Funkwellen aus den WLAN Signalen eliminiert (nach dem Gegenschallprinzip / Wellenauslöschung) und so eine Verklumpung der Blutkörperchen verhindert 🫠🙃

Danke auch für das Granderwasser. Habe mich gleich viel besser gefühlt xD

@thewhite969 Es gibt auch so "WIFI FIlter", im Grunde einfach ein MEtallkäfig für den Router. Und die Rezensionen dazu sind dann "Total Super! Endlich weniger Strahlung! Aber mein WLAN empfang ist jetzt schlechter." - No shit! :D @Blackbird @energisch_ @derthomas @tux @thomas @strahlenschutz

Ready to get your metalhead.club t-shirt? 😎

Find more information here: https://blog.650thz.de/metalheadclub-tshirts/

I'm very excited! ... and who knows, maybe we'll be able to identify other metalhead.club members at concerts, soon? 🤘

thomas,
@thomas@metalhead.club avatar

@defmetaltones while I feel honored that you want to use it, the logo is for "official" purpose only.

defmetaltones,

@thomas that’s understandable and that’s why I wanted to reach out

@thomas@metalhead.club avatar

It's metalhead.club's 6th birthday today! 🥳 🤘

To celebrate this event, @CalyxWorks has created a logo for our instance and donated it. Many, many thanks, @CalyxWorks !

Check out his website: https://calyxdesign.com
And shop: https://calyxdesign.com/calyxworks/

What do you think about our new logo?

(yes, the logo will finally enable us to print t-shirts and thongs! 😁)

manon,
@manon@metalhead.club avatar

@thomas @CalyxWorks Whoohoo! 🥳

thomas, (edited )
@thomas@metalhead.club avatar

@mirko @manon @CalyxWorks I'll consider it. I'll start with one or two variants but maybe add a white shirt later. Thanks for suggesting!

thomas, to fediverse German
@thomas@metalhead.club avatar

Ich habe in meinem Blog aufgeschrieben, wie ich die metalhead.club T-Shirt Aktionen durchführe und welche Lieferanten / Materialien ich verwende.

Vielleicht hilft es ja so manchem anderen Fediverse Admin, der ähnliche Pläne hat 🙂

Listening to ? Posting about it on mastodon.social?

There are more underground ways to metal up your timeline! Join metalhead.club :damnified: 💪

... and contribute to a more decentralized 🤘

(we don't even host our service at Hetzner LOL)

@sbz@metalhead.club avatar

@thomas you say hetzner like it's a bad thing..

thomas,
@thomas@metalhead.club avatar

@sbz they are great But: Too many instances are hosted at Hetzner. It's a bad thing for the Fediverse. https://www.golem.de/news/mastodon-grossteil-des-fediverse-wohl-bei-hetzner-gehostet-2401-181165.html

Update to Mastodon v4.2.4: DONE ✅

If you're : Watch out! New Ruby version required.
Install after Git fetch:

$ git -C /home/mastodon/.rbenv/plugins/ruby-build pull

$ RUBY_CONFIGURE_OPTS=--with-jemalloc rbenv install

$ bundle install

$ yarn install --frozen-lockfile

thomas,

@mariusor not really - it's a bugfix version ;-)

@Whiskeyomega@cupoftea.social avatar

@thomas It was weird because I already had 3.3.0 installed.

thomas, to Software
@thomas@metalhead.club avatar

Let's see if I can perhaps publish a first version of my software for http://watch.metalhead.club today. I still need to tidy up the code a bit and document it properly so that it can be useful for others.

thomas, to fediverse
@thomas@metalhead.club avatar

My FediWatch tool is still in very alpha stage, but if you feel lucky, try out https://watch.metalhead.club and watch our instance communicate with the rest of the Fediverse :)

(server-to-server communication only - user data is not analyzed!)

thomas,
@thomas@metalhead.club avatar

@db0 I will :) It needs some polishing (e.g. Configuration of some hardcodes values) but after that I guess it's ready to be open sourced.
