Instagram und Facebook demnächst für zehn Euro monatlich

https://www.golem.de/news/ohne-werbung-instagram-und-facebook-demnaechst-fuer-zehn-euro-monatlich-2310-178944.html

Toller Preis!

Guck mal, nimm doch einfach mal metalhead.club oder eine beliebige andere Fediverse-Instanz, gib' deinem Admin nen Euro im Monat, und die Kosten sind erst mal gedeckt.

Facebook hingegen muss Aktionäre befriedigen. Ups.

(und "wir" Fediverse-Admins sind verhältnismäßig teuer, weil wir Strom und Netz nicht im Großhandel einkaufen, sondern unten in der Kette stehen)

Das ist jetzt eine ernst gemeinte Frage, also bitte keinen Hass in diesem Thread ;)

Aber mich würde wirklich interessieren, wieso Leute SUVs kaufen. Ich kann absolut verstehen, wieso man sich das als Fahrzeug fürs Gelände kauft. In Forstwirtschaft. Als Landwirt. Von mir aus im Landschaftsbau. Alles kein Thema.

Aber wieso kauft man sich das als Normalo? Ich sehe da nichts als Nachteile. Egal ob beim Parken, beim Spritverbrauch, bei der Steuer...

Ist es nur Status? Höher Sitzen? Klärt mich auf.

Linux Containers - Incus - Introduction

Incus seems to be the new LXD. There is no urgent need to migrate right now. A stable release has not been published, yet.

metalhead.club is at less than 8 % CPU load.

So if you were to go to the pedestrian zone and annoy Metalheads there to take a look at our instance, that would be absolutely no problem from a technical point of view.

We can take more users 🤘

Generate and share your own invite codes with your friends. ("Settings", "Invite people") Make metalhead.club super exclusive and let's hype this thing!

If Bluesky can trend by using artificial shortage, we can, too. 🤘

Our t-shirts have been printed and will be shipped to my private "fulfillment center" in the next couple of days. 😁

From there all the packaging work will be done and hopefully I'll be able to send the first metalhead.club t-shirts to you, soon! 🤘

@thomas@metalhead.club avatar

A perfect fit!
And from what I can tell: Decent quality!

Are we the first and only instance with branded t-shirts? 😁

I'll try and send your t-shirts as fast as possible to you. But please understand that I need breaks, too ;) I guess it will take about 3 weeks until every shirt has been send. That's a lot of packages to prepare. 😅

I think it's totally great that you guys independently always remember to throw some money into the donation pot. So I don't have to beg much at all to fund the server and other stuff for metalhead.club and trashserver.net :)

https://donate.650thz.de

This month we are almost out of the loss zone again - (but we still have some buffer).

Thanks to all of you who have ever contributed! You're actually making this whole project run and run and run. No money, no metalhead.club. 👏

Whohoooo! It's here!

I'll upgrade this evening if I find time to do that :)

TIL: You can download your GitHub SSH public keys from this URL:

https://github.com/username.keys

...which is quite handy when you want to register your keys on a new machine with internet access ;)

Is this working? I think I did it.

Media is not uploaded to new s3.650thz.de server 🎉

Today is the 10th of November and it is already clear that we are leaving the month with a slight plus. (https://donate.650thz.de)

This means that metalhead.club is sustainably financed even a year after the huge rush on the Mastodon network and reserves for unexpected costs can be built up or maintained.

I'm really, really pleased with how things are going here. Thank you, thank you! 👏 🤘

I got this toolbox from my Dad when I was six years old. I still have it and although it became a chaos box, I still use it regularly :)

Get your sons and daughters a toolbox with some basic tools!

Habe mal unverbindlich bei dem Merch-Produzenten meines Vertrauens angefragt.

Wegen metalhead.club Patches.

Wir brauchen die. Es hilft ja alles nichts ... 🤷‍♂️

Der Fuschlsee in Österreich. War echt schön dort! Auch wenn das Wetter die meiste Zeit über nicht so toll mitgespielt hat.

Thinking about renaming metalhead.club to Thomas.club. :thaenkin:

Just ordered 100 metalhead.club patches.

  • Logo only (no text)
  • DIN-A7 = 105mm x 74mm
  • Black fabric, white logo

LOL

(no, you didn't miss the preorders. There was no preorder period. Regular orders will start asap. :) )

Sry for being so German about the patch dimensions, but I need to. 🤷‍♂️

DIN means everything.

@Kitty maybe there will be a "Tom's thread fail special edition" with glittery thread 💓

I am often asked for templates for emails aimed at inviting new users and bands to our metalhead.club.

While I can understand that it's easier to use a template, customize it if necessary and send it, I don't think it's particularly useful at the moment.

Because: Recycled texts wear out. Bands don't want to receive the same email 10 times under different names and don't want to feel like they're talking to a machine. Personal recommendations and personal communication are important.
