I'm not much of a maths nerd but Euler's identity is an absolutely gorgeous result.

Do not force your little personal rules on people. If somebody isn't breaking their instance rules, don't jump on them with threats and demands and don't even think about saying "well it should really be community policy to..."
Mastodon is not a secret handshake club.

Anybody want a copy of that Super Metroid soundfont thats been floating around online, except Actually tuned properly? I did it in my spare time and I frankly want the old out of tune one stamped out. Drums are still a mess, I'll note though.

Oh no I'm looking at DJ setups again, ahhhh. no. I want to be a DJ again. No no bad. No one wants to listen to 3 hours of french house but you

#LangSpotting #Norsk #Norwegian (and I was even able to understand some of it; although very slowly as I have to do an "intermediate translation" into Dutch first, maybe a bit like the linguistic version of a two pass assembler?)

When I try to follow certain people from my instance (snabeltann.no), I don't seem to be getting any data about them (no profile details, no statuses), just the fact that there's an account I can follow. What's up with that?

Not sure why my Mastodon instance, snabeltann.no, fails CryptCheck. It doesn't like that 3DES is disabled, but I'm using letsencrypt.org's default configuration for Apache's SSL cipher suite, and I fully expect them to be following best practices. I tried making some adjustments but it seemingly didn't work.
@TheKinrar

Is it necessary to have port 4000 exposed to the world on a Mastodon instance? The production guide mentions proxying a specific path to port 4000, but the same path seems to be available on port 3000, so is it really necessary?

How often "often" is when it comes to running rake mastodon:push:refresh on a Mastodon instance?

What is the network's opinion on follow bots to encourage federation? A clever idea, or the work of the devil?

@Gargron So, anyway, there is now a node running at snabeltann.no/ - I can't promise it'll work perfectly, but I'll try my best.

@Gargron must be correct = server hostname must match what the mail server calls itself

@Gargron So, apparently, whatever Mastodon uses is picky about the domain name you connect to. My SMTP server calls itself something, and that something must be correct, apparently. Perhaps it was the SSL verification that failed.

@Gargron Setting up a Mastodon node for Norway. Sending email via my own server. Postfix doesn't seem to care much for Mastodon's mailer system. Just anonymous TLS connection that closes in mail.log. docker logs doesn't provide any info on what went wrong. Halp?

Hello? Is this the quantum mechanic? I can't check my GPS and my speedometer at the same time. Laws of nature, uhuh, OK, but can you fix it?

There's nothing quite like a bed with clean sheets straight from the dryer. *enjoys bed*

Would anyone have any idea of where in Europe I can get a compression driver like this?
mcmelectronics.com/product/DIS
It goes down to 100 Hz and only costs $25. MCM won't ship to Europe. ☹️
