A ✅ has appeared in my profile. Hurrah for that. I think we have to realise that the learning curve here is steepish, but rather than be anxious about it, shouldn’t we should celebrate the adventure of slowly finding out something that was puzzling at first? Like your first week at school or in a new office building. We’ll get there and soon laugh at how confused me were at first. I hope!

You can download and hash it yourself, and it should still match - 1337e2ef42b9bee8de06a4d223a51337

I think this is the first PNG/MD5 hashquine.

#IronMaiden's #IronMaiden album has a "#PinkFloyd" song (Strange World) and a "#LedZeppelin" song (Charlotte the Harlot).

I find it fascinating how heavy metal came into existence in a rather organic way.

Breaking an i32 into four bytes.

printf "0: %.8x" $int | xxd -r -g0 >>file

Learn printf kids, then you won't need to steal #howto's from #stackoverflow like your old man does.

Instance owners!

Don't forget to add volumes to your instances every now and again.

If by chance, I wouldn't have spoken to @nafnlaus about the disk space an instance uses, I would've been in for a fun December evening when my instance would've ran out of disk.

On DO it's very easy — just

* buy a volume,
* copy your media there,
* chown -R the files just to be sure,
* move old media folder
* symlink new media folder immediately afterwards
* chown -h mastodon:mastodon symlink
* add a notice to check the df -h in half a year :)

Anti-scraping people are tiring.

Federation duplicates data and the way masto is built, masto's federation backs it up for perpetual availability.

Scraping and archiving is another side of the same coin.

To this extent I'm really interested to know how the age breakdown of people on the #Fediverse. On one hand it would seem to make sense to me that most people here remember the "old internet" before the centralization and they're here to rekindle that flame of independence. On the other hand the youths are generally pretty up on this whole technology thing. I grew up on the internet and since then smartphones have become even more ubiquitous.

If you doubt #meduza's affiliation with kremlin, read their coverage of the tragedy that happened in #Poland. The coverage is *heavily* biased towards kremlin agenda.

As a Latvian, I'm not entirely sure why are they not heavily investigated and not evicted from Latvia. I don't think we need media like this in our country.
