Mastodon, Pleroma, Friendica, Pixelfed, PeerTube, dare I say it even Twitter, all have websites that work perfectly fine on mobile. I don't understand this obsession with 'I'm on mobile so I should select an app' or 'I want to see the website so I should use a computer'. The sites may even work better than the app. Often you can save them to your home screen too.
You may consider the feature that apps of mainstream social media provided of extra tracking and snooping to be a nice bonus, but you're not going to get that anyway in fediverse apps.
Great to see Prof Francesca back. Reshared, not because of the tech advice request, looks like she got a lot of answers already, but this is of course a very serious and important archaeological photo.
I like the grin...

The lead role of Charlotte in Sanditon is played by Rose Williams. I may not like how the scenes are edited and filmed, but she is certainly the good thing about this series. I'll keep watching it.
Here some photos of her from Imdb.
Also, supposedly the amount of Twitter posts you can see without an account is zero, which they say breaks the Twitter embed functionality. So far that seems untrue, I can see the embeds just fine on my own site even in an incognito window. E.g. this one where Chloë Grace Moretz answered my question.
When I removed the wallpaper from the bedroom walls, I found the walls to be quite uneven, too much to paint over. I finally applied the material that is supposed to smooth it out (don't know the English word and neither does Google) to half the wall, since the remainder I can't reach yet. I'm not that happy with the result, it's still a bit uneven.
It's drying now so I have time to think about it.

SPOF: very good for performance.
My sites are so much faster now that I introduced a single point of failure. Can highly recommend.
It also gets rid of $30 on my Amazon bill. The storage I was using may be only 6 dollarcents (using intelligent tiering) and accessing the data normally only around one dollar (a month), but I had an extra $30 cost because I was using an inefficient setting and was too lazy too figure out how to access the data properly.
(Something was doing more than 100 metadata calls per second to NFS, likely directory listings or date checks, and I still don't know what. Only figured out it's something in php, even after I set opcache to only check every 15 minutes. This is just above the allowed throughput baseline, so I set 'elastic throughput' which scales throughput automatically, but you pay for that too.)
Two titbits from yesterday's Tudum, Netflix's fan event, that I gather from clips posted:
Wednesday season 2 is going to introduce another Addams Family character. Many people have asked for Cousin Itt to appear, but the cast say they don't know yet who it will be. Also, from the fact that the cast announcing this was Jenna, Emma, Joy and Hunter, you can guess their characters are back.
You is going to be the final season, as announced earlier, and there was no news. Just the suggestion that Joe is going to face (an) opponent(s) related to the many loose ends. The clips to illustrate these loose ends included Jenna Ortega as Ellie. My favourite story would be where Ellie and Nadia team up to take Joe down.

"How many visitors does your site draw?"
"Some". "Oh, do you mean with or without the bots?"
"Without"
"Then none"
I mean, how does mod_cache, or varnish for that matter, not take into account the Accept or Content-type headers when caching something?
I mean "I want the html at this address", results in "here have this json because someone before you asked for the json". They are like "the server should have sent an Vary header". Yeah, but what if it doesn't? Shouldn't the cache, as the thing that is taking over serving content, serve the right content according to standard specifications?
And why doesn't the Location directive in Apache's config match with a path like you'd expect? So if you were to add a Vary header to the path /friendica, you can't because it's subject to rewrite rules. You would have to match /index.php?pagename=friendica. But that doesn't work for me either, probably due to the query string. I can only add the header to the whole site, like this:
<IfModule mod_headers.c>
<Location "/index.php">
Header merge Vary "Accept"
</Location>
</IfModule>and
CacheQuickHandler offand then finally mod_cache serves the correct content types. With a much larger cache.
BTW, the same problem existed on profiles and posts, that are served machine-to-machine as json and to a browser as html, but sometimes from the same address.
I found that switching between other distributions can better be done in a separate partition. One extra thing to do, though, is that some OS's like Ubuntu only autodetect other OS's like Windows and show these as options in the bootloader screen, but they don't do the same for other Ubuntu-like OS's like Kubuntu. So to get the options to boot into either Ubuntu or Kubuntu (or others) if you have both installed, you need to add the following line to /etc/default/grub and follow the instructions to run update-grup:
GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER=falseEDIT: forgot that I may need to run the following too afterwards, from the OS to be considered the main OS:
sudo dpkg-reconfigure grub-efi-amd64-signed
#ActiveState
Interesting how the Netflix video to announce this year's Tudum event (17 June) says there's also going to be an announcement about Wednesday. Weird because season 2 was already announced and it hasn't even been written yet.
Also they suggest an announcement for Queen Charlotte, which I thought was a one season spin-off of Bridgerton.
