Honest to fucking god.

If I call you because my server is down. And you are unable to fix it right away, and possibly might not be able to fix it at all....

When the call ends, don't tell me to have a wonderful day. 😡

After working with pleroma running on my own server, it looks like this is going to work for me. So I will be gradually transitioning away from my mastodon.xyz account.
I want to create an anti-follow bot.

The only thing it will do is toot every hour:

"I'm not following you! Neener neener!"
My little pleroma instance has hit the big time!

A federation bot is following me 🙄
Random thought:

Something that was very common when I was young, that is never heard anymore.

"Excuse me, can you tell me what time it is?"

sometimes changing my mind is as easy as showing me a good time in an option i hadn't duly considered

Pleroma admins:
pleroma is running on *:4000 with apache proxying to it via 127.0.0.1:4000
Is there a way to configure pleroma to only listen on 127.0.0.1? Or will I need to just iptable that?

So, in all, I'm finding Pleroma pretty easy to deal with.
The install wasn't horrific, and was probably more involved than most because of running CentOS/Apache rather than Debian/nginx. Part of that ended up with me running certbot in full-out manual mode. Still, I've dealt with FAR worse.
The only oddity I'm dealing with right now is attempting to follow someone from Subway Tooter results in a 500 error from my pleroma server, where doing it via the web UI works fine.

Installed a pleroma instance to play with. It's always fun when the system you are installing on is not the "ideal".
I just seem to like tilting at non-standard windmills.

They told me I had to quit using Pleroma because I think IPA's are nasty and I don't think USB dongle jokes are funny smh

Dear parents,

Just because your child is smiling at their phone doesn't mean they have a boyfriend/girlfriend. Maybe they're just looking at some really nicely formatted ANSI C code

A good thing about working from home:
I can put together a long-cooking dinner at lunchtime, and let it cook until dinner.

A bad part about working from home:
I then smell dinner cooking all day while I'm trying to work.

I'm so hungry.....

On the list of things that will never happen again:

We lost power for a few minutes today, which of course means clocks to reset.
The power came back on just a couple seconds after noon.
Which means all the clocks were right.

Winning.

The difference between flavored tea and flavored coffee:
Flavored teas smell very nice, and taste pretty much like they smell.
Flavored coffees smell great, and taste like unwashed ass.

if you expect a process to fail, and it does...

Was that a failure, or a success?
