Ed Summers @edsu@digipres.club
I like digipres, but I've moved to @edsu
So I'm super appreciative of digipres.club -- but I really want to actively use an instance where I can help fund the infrastructure, and participate as a member in the decision making. ..and also learn how to run a social media co-op.
So I'm going to be moving over to @edsu and following y'all from there. I'll keep my account open here, but I would appreciate it if you could follow me over there, if you want to continue to get my updates.

I discovered this website about self hosting. It seems nice to have a dedicated website to help spread knowledge about available softwares and to give tips how to self-host.

It sucks to be sick, but a steady supply of hot tea and Eno’s Ambient 4: On Land made it much more bearable. Honestly, it’s nice to have an excuse to just spend the day on the couch.

me, whenever someone I haven't spoken to in ages gets in touch out of the blue: this is utterly delightful, and I wish this sort of thing happened more!
me, whenever I'm thinking about talking to someone I haven't spoken to in ages: they don't remember me, they would hate me if they remembered me, this intrusion into their lives would definitely be unwelcome
I really enjoyed this piece about technologies of surveillance and preservation, and how (and for whom) they make cities legible https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2018/02/james-joyce-as-police-operation/553817/ there
Bought two 3 TB hard disks for my zfs raid.

I like that Mastodon requires you to have a code-of-conduct for it to accept new signups:

Does the code-of-conduct here effectively work as a privacy / terms-of-service policy?

Walking someone new to Ruby through installing Jekyll on their OS X laptop was insanely painful to do & explain. I feel intense guilt about this because I routinely go around promoting static sites like they are the digital preservation holy grail while comfortably elliding the whole installation process. OS X command line tools, gpg, rvm, homebrew, gem, bundler ... c'mon now.
Can I get a witness?

Mastodon, you are wonderful. Always change.
