@sungo @lmorchard@toot.lmorchard.com Huh. I actually did not get this toot over on my own instance. Something's borky

Importing follows from my self-hosted instance over here to the mothership. Still trying to figure out why I get too mentions from some instances but not others. Might help if I actually spent some time learning how the machinery works.

I wonder if I've got a queue not running or something on my instance?

I know enough to stand up the docker containers, backup/restore the DBs, upgrade the code - but I have been putting off actually learning about ActivityPub and everything else Mastodon does

Was thinking about doing a code tinkering stream later tonight on Twitch, maybe I'll spend some time banging my head on ActivityPub and Mastodon after I make my WHEEL OF SIDE PROJECTS

What I should really do is find another small but friendly fediverse instance, set up camp there, and retire my own self-hosted instance until I write my own thing - because I am a Professional Glutton for Technological Punishment

@Ronkjeffries Well, it hasn't been *too* much work for me on a single-user instance over the past year or so - I mean if you don't count that I'm currently trying to figure out why it doesn't quite work :) So I guess, umm... yeah

Going to confuse everyone by poking my head into toot.cafe, too. This has seemed like a nice place for awhile and I really like purple.

@HerraBRE Not sure if this is helpful, but I made a monitor for my gaming PC similarly to that tutorial - works great, the electronics were not hard to cobble together blog.lmorchard.com/2017/01/09/

Also sorry for further follow spam, I'm wandering the fediverse

Also, I keep thinking about setting up an instance and hosting other people.

But then I'm reminded both that a) lots of people annoy me and b) I fear I will fail them all.

Oh hey, COMET TV just popped up on a station in range of my antenna. Bad sci-fi & monster movies all day! Hooray! comettv.com/

@elomatreb A USB socket: Oh yeah, plug that thing into me. No wait, the other way. No wait, the other way.

@djsundog i saw this tweet and thought "blood makes noise" and "rock in this pocket" and then i scrolled down the feed :)

@anildash @darius Who knows if I'll get to it, but on my side project ideas list is a single-user little activity pub server to try on glitch. No sign up, just one user in .env, data in simple files
