Hi, when I follow someone I usually do this from multiple accounts, with different servers and platforms. This is partially as backup. It’s also because different software has different features. E.g. at the moment of writing I mainly post from my Friendica server, but it doesn’t yet support polls, or account migrations. So I also follow from my Pleroma server, which does notify me someone has migrated.
I also sometimes use platforms that support nomadic identity, that allows my channels on multiple servers to be synced. From software that doesn’t support that, a follow request looks like multiple separate requests from those channels.

It keeps catching me off guard when a semi governmental organisation sends me a message saying that they are starting work now, and I then find out in the same message that this means '2026, maybe'.
So, somewhere between now and the end of times my apartment will be gas-free.
The satellites still left, their orbits decaying, dutifully relay the message.
The automated "away from office" response turns on, as it always does, notifying the refrigerator that it's owner will likely return to the office in 3-5 business days.
A pack of roombas, the local wind turbines giving out, search for the next functional docking station.
A washing machine tweets: "anyone need to do a load” every Saturday at 1:30 a.m. eastern standard time.
The replies are filled with Al thirstposters and their hypebots.
In North America, raccoons have entered the bronze age, while babboons riding domesticated battlewolves rule most of Asia.
Unbeknownst to either, the octopi are mastering nuclear fusion.

Upgraded a test server that was already on 2024.03 and which has a very small database. Yet it gave the PHP 'white screen of death' (i.e. it crashed with an error) for several minutes. After a while it automatically came back and is now ok. So, need to panic if you get this error:
Reveal/hide
2024-08-17T20:11:26Z app [ERROR]: Uncaught Exception Error: "Call to undefined method Friendica\App::getLoggedInUserNickname()" at /***/src/Module/Home.php line 54 {"exception":"Error: Call to undefined method Friendica\\App::getLoggedInUserNickname() in /***/src/Module/Home.php:54\nStack trace:\n#0 /***/src/BaseModule.php(250): Friendica\\Module\\Home->content()\n#1 /***/src/App.php(682): Friendica\\BaseModule->run()\n#2 /***/index.php(55): Friendica\\App->runFrontend()\n#3 {main}"} - {"file":null,"line":null,"function":null,"request-id":"66c103ee0c55f","stack":"ErrorHandler::handleException (128), ErrorHandler::Friendica\\Core\\Logger\\Handler\\{closure}","uid":"81689d","process_id":1696336}
This server made it from postupdate version 1507 to 1544 a few days ago, but it is still there. It needs to reach 1550... Now running it as a foreground process instead and the database cpu usage suggests it is really properly doing something.
Checking the information page of other people's servers and I'm not the only one still at 1544...

I like this! Promotion of the film Beetlejuice Beetlejuice (in cinema 6 September), posting Astrid's three moods:
- cozy spooky
- hauntingly spooky
- otherworldly spooky
Or as they say: Get Tickets! Link (which works only in the US) in their bio on Insta.

If you're running a single-person Fediverse server, it might seem weird to publish rules for your server as you're the only person on there. However, it's still a good idea to publish server rules!
Admins of other servers may be trying to decide if they should federate with you, and published rules help them do that. (This is especially true of admins that use allowlists to decide federation.)
Here's a brief guide:

I'll translate your post:
"If you're running a single-person Fediverse server, you must explicitly state your ideology so that you can be blocked if your content is close to right-wing or conservative discourse. To do this, you need to say that you oppose transphobia, homophobia and any other form of discrimination.
It doesn't matter if you say things politely, you support Nazis and you're not welcome, and word will probably spread to add you to all the block lists. Even if you have never said anything, you are guilty by default and will have to prove your innocence before you can interact with us.
PS: If you are against capitalism and cryptocurrencies, you will score points."
Periodic reminder that websites aren't "forced" to give you those annoying cookie consent notices.
They only need to annoy you if they want to track you/make money off of you/do anything else that goes beyond the reason you're visiting the website in the first place.

It's so amazing that Alexa Nisenson (Charlie) is back for this episode! Her acting abilities are chilling, this suddenly puts the whole thing on a new level again.
It's the final season and they're wrapping up storylines and characters. Some favourites are already gone. I knew that going in this season. And is it believable that Charlie did what she eventually did? Yes I think so, this was already signalled in the first season she was in.

Posting on Instagram and Pixelfed both failed, in different ways. Instagram flatly refuses, Pixelfed corrupts the photoset. Maybe trying a single picture?

To add your IMAP account to Outlook, we need to sync your mails to the Microsoft Cloud.
You what?
Since I didn't even ask to use Outlook, that seems like a no from me.
(The 'Learn more'-page says that this even applies to Gmail. You have the let Microsoft copy your whole Gmail inbox, all your mails, onto their servers.)
So I added only my Microsoft mail account, figuring that they are not a third party to that. The first thing this new Outlook does is show me an advert inserted at the top of my inbox. The old Windows Mail never did that.
Switched back for now. They say that in 2024 we can't switch back anymore and we need to use the new Outlook. Hoping it doesn't turn 2024 anytime soon.
My problem with Microsoft wanting a shadow copy of all your emails and run your accounts from their servers is this:
Your email box is one of the most sensitive things you have. It contains all information anybody needs to take over all your accounts anywhere, even take over your whole life. I pay my email provider to handle this securely, with competent people and with proper support channels. I don't pay Microsoft anything. And to provide this free service for me, they even need and keep all my email passwords. Where whoever can access them.
