resingm, to ipv6

CZ.NIC set an end to on June 06, 2032 in the Czech Republic. This leaves operators about 300 days to go . As a German, I hope that this puts pressure on all European ISPs.

@resingm oh yes, if I was king, I'd introduce a law that lets people get 50 % off their landline / mobile bill if there is no available for them 🙃

Those IPv6 refusers need to feel the pain. Half of the IP features? Half the price. 💪

Der -Konzern kommt mir nicht ins Haus; ganz sicher nicht. ☝🏻 Den Server threads.net kann man, übrigens nicht nur als Server-Admin, sondern auch als User*in aussperren. ⛔

@Sebastian Eine Einschränkung: Auch wenn man selbst threads.net blockiert, kann jemand von dort noch die öffentlichen Posts mitlesen. An der Stelle ist also nicht blockiert.

Es gibt zwei Dinge, die man dann tun kann:

  1. nicht öffentlich posten (sondern nur an eine ausgewählten Followerkreis)
    Oder
  2. den Serveradmin bitten, "Authorized Fetch" einzuschalten. https://hub.sunny.garden/2023/06/28/what-does-authorized_fetch-actually-do/

Mit zweiterem kann der User das zuerst genannte Problem auf Federation-Seite beheben. Wenn auch nicht im HTML...

Immer, wenn ich "I want a new Drug" von Huey Lewis & The News höre, will ich "GHOST BUSTERS!" reinrufen 🤐

Geht's noch jemandem so?

So now I'm going to sit down and see what I can do regarding new metalhead.club T-shirts ... ;-)

Golem hat das neue @frameworkcomputer 16 Laptop getestet

Das Notebook, von dem Nerds träumen - https://www.golem.de/news/framework-laptop-16-im-test-das-ist-also-das-coolste-notebook-in-diesem-jahr-2401-181514.html

... Und ich schiele ja auch schon seit Jahren auf die Framework Laptops. Leider (und zum Glück) funktioniert mein aktueller noch gut. Aber sollte ich bald etwas neues kaufen müssen, wäre Framework auf jeden Fall in der engeren Auswahl.

I could not resist and bought Eternal Storm's "Come the Tide" album after being halfway through.

It took me the first couple of songs to accept their sound but after that it became better and better 😍

Thanks for recommending, @HailsandAles !

32 hosts, 254 services green (WOW, NICE NUMBERS) - just one is red.

And the one which is left will be auto-fixed during nighttime.

So I guess I can get something to eat now? :D

Wrote almost 3,000 words about the debate, its implications and effects on metalhead.club .

You deserve to know where we're heading and which actions we will take.

The blog post is not finished, yet, but it's probably going to be published at https://blog.650thz.de today or tomorrow.

Metal covers of pop songs are a common gateway drug into the metal scene. Which bands do you like to recommend to make metal more appealing to people?

In addition to Leo Moracchioli (Frog Leap Studios), The Animal in Me also make numerous cover versions and The Veer Union also show that it sounds better with low-tuned electric guitars:

Welche sind für euch die herausragendsten technischen Erfindungen oder Entdeckungen, die die Menschheit zu bieten hat?

Für mich gehören Induktionskochfelder und die Wärmepumpe in jeder Art (Trockner, Kühler, Wärmeversorgung,...) definitiv dazu. :)

Ich finde es toll, wie @mho auf Heise.de über Mastodon berichtet. Nicht nur lobend - auch kritisch.

So bleibt das Thema im Gespräch. Sehr wichtig für ein organisch wachsendes Netzwerk, das sonst wenig bis keine Mittel für Marketing hat.

Metalhead.club currently loses about 6 % to 9 % active users per month.

Well, it's no surprise that users lose interest, especially if they registered during one of the user waves and just wanted to check out what this Mastodon or Fediverse thing is.

Nevertheless it's sometimes a bit sad to see the numbers drop ;)

But of course I'm still happy to host this place for you - even if it'd be just 100 users. 😉

What MAU rate do you observe on your instances?

Short survey among metalhead.club members and fans:

Do you want another batch of metalhead.club t-shirts - but based on the "Rocker" model? (black only to make it easier for me) 🤘

If there are enough people interested in this we can probably make it happen!

I've worn and washed my metalhead.club t-shirt at least 8 times. The quality seems to be still okay. I'm optimistic.

Of course 8 times is not much, but also it doesn't seem to be total garbage 😂

How about your shirts? Are they still fine quality wise?

were awesome! I had great expectations and they were not only met, but exceeded.

Great sound, great to hear live and it was so much fun that I was soaked with sweat after being in the mosh pit for about 3/4 of the time 👌😁

Very likeable band, and after they played a few songs from the new EP, they played Spiritual Migration (😍) and other songs - I think even from the Shin-Ken album.

Crowd was about 150-200 ppl (perfect size!) and on fire 🔥👌

What an overwhelming evening!

Oh cool, ich habe im Google's "irgendwas-geht-nach-dem-Android-update-nicht-mehr" Roulette eine kaputte Bluetoothverbindung bekommen.

Wenn ich Musik abspiele und dann auf eine andere App wechsle, bricht bricht die Verbindung wenige Sekunden später zusammen. Player stoppt aber nicht.

Habe das mit mehreren Bluetooth Geräten unterschiedlichen Alters, verschiedenen Musik-Apps und auf Lautsprecher passiert es nicht.

Was macht eigentlich Google's SW-Qualitätsabteilung den ganzen Tag so?

Viel wichtiger als irgendwelche "Drüberkommentare" Features fände ich bei Mastodon ja vernünftige Spamerkennungs-Tools.

Pixelfed macht es mit seinem simple naive Bayes Filter vor. Sowas hätte ich auch gerne. Klar, ist simple und naive, aber könnte uns einen Haufen manuelle Arbeit ersparen.

Wozu haben wir denn Machine learning? ...

Verstehe natürlich auch, dass die Entwicklungsressourcen stark eingeschränkt sind. Aber Prios, Leute,... Prios! ... ;-)

@Cedara das mit dein Einladungen ist meiner Meinung nach eine zu große Hürde.

Aber Rgistrierungen mit "Bewerbung" sind perfekt. DIe haben wir hier im metalhead.club seit fast immer so eingestellt und haben keine einzigen Spam Account gehostet bisher. Einfach, weil wir ziemlich schnell sehen, ob da ein Mensch bei seinem Bewerbungstext kreativ war - oder eine Maschine Müll eingefüllt hat. :-)

Ich wünschte, das würden mehr Instanzen so handhaben. Dann wäre Spam vermutlich erst mal kein Thema

Now that the first official, federated connection from a Fediverse account to a single (!) Meta threads.net account has been made, the Threads topic is boiling up again.

Many of us Fediverse citizens see this as an opportunity for the Fediverse to gain in importance.

At least as many are sceptical about whether we should be exchanging data with Threads at all.

As an instance admin, I'm worried about making a decision that could alienate users on both sides. 😓 🧵

... This will allow you to take back full control about the destinations of your posts: Just accept follow requests from users who have their profile on servers that you trust. Ignore requests from .net.

Post public information publicly. Post private information in "Followers only" mode. In this case no posts will be transferred to threads.net if you didn't accept any threads.net users as followers beforehand.

@thomas@metalhead.club avatar

I would like to give the decision as to whether data should be exchanged with into the hands of the users.

Unfortunately, there is no direct checkbox in the user settings that prevents the exchange of data with a instance.

But maybe a little pragmatism will help here: perhaps we should see public data/posts for what they are: Public. If you want to share less, you can make use of the "Followers only" function and set your profile so that only accepted users are allowed to follow. 🧵
