@BylinesNetwork Creates Mastodon Instance To Host Affiliated Publications:
@NWBylines, @NEBylines, @YorksBylines, @CentralBylines, @WEBylines, @BylinesEast, @SussexBylines, @KentBylines
The next evolutionary stage of Mastodon social media has arrived. Trailblazing media organizations are taking control of their content and social media presence by setting up their own instances–something impossible on other social media platforms.

Currently the trakt.tv site is down due to a database crash and they are recovering from a backup. They say on twitter it's going slow due to the size of the database. I can imagine that. How slow you can see from the fact that it's already getting to two days.
So this is your reminder, also to myself, to think about your recovery strategy. Just making backups is not enough. Also, backups are a last resort because the data transfer for the restore takes so long. If you want to be online again quickly, redundant/shadow servers and/or snapshots are a must.

Nice to see how everyone is having so much fun and is so relaxed on the Wednesday set. Seems to be a good place with good people. Not so nice to see Emma getting that flashlight straight in her face, I guess that did hurt...

Watching Sophie Rundle and Suranne Jones in Gentleman Jack as Ann Walker and Anne Lister, inspired by the diaries of the real Anne Lister. There is no Jack in the series... I'm watching series one on HBO Max since I've already seen series two. It's set in victorian times and shows Anne Lister doing everything male landowners did in these times, including marrying a woman, the other Ann. I find I can not celebrate her too much, since she's also doing all the negative things men of that time and class did. E.g. to me she seems to have no empathy towards servants and women.

Sophie Rundle - IMDb
Sophie Rundle. Actress: Peaky Blinders. Sophie Rundle is an English actress. Born on 21 April 1988 to Fiona and Michael Rundle, she has two brothers James and Henry.Sophie Rundle (IMDb)
There's so much manipulation and gaslighting by Anne Lister of Ann Walker, it's hard to describe it as a love story between the two women, which on the outside this series may suggest.
Anne is saying literally the things that in other series the sleazy male characters would say.

"She'll have her in Paris before you know it"
The double meaning very much intended I suspect.

Just came across this performance on YouTube. This really was the music of my youth. I may have initially at high school started with liking Sting, The Dire Straits, The Smiths, but I quickly saw the light and it became all female (fronted) music for me: The Throwing Muses, The Sundays and definitely Mazzy Star. Here's the latter on a Dutch radio show doing Flowers in December. 26 years ago... I have all their CDs of the time and I also have their more recent albums as well as Hope Sandoval's solo albums from iTunes.

Mazzy Star - Flowers in December (Live on 2 Meter Sessions)
Mazzy Star perform 'Flowers in December' of their 1996 album "Among My Swan" on Dutch music show "2 Meter Sessies". Filmed on November 6, 1996. Subscribe to...YouTube
A rarely well-lit performance. Usually the recordings of their stage appearances were very dark where you could hardly see the people. The albums also didn't have her on the cover and the liner notes photos were very vague. They really wanted to keep her face out of the impression you had of the band and to let the music speak for itself.
There is a thing in the music industry where if a woman is good-looking, especially very good-looking, her music can't be taken seriously.
Maybe when explaining the fediverse to new people, or outsiders, or journalists, we shouldn't focus on explaining multiple servers so much. What it is, is social media like twitter but run by volunteers. I think that's the important distinguishing part.
Then when they ask how it's organised, who's in charge and stuff like that, who sets the rules, then we can say volunteers can setup their own servers with their own rules. Only when they wonder stuff like that, this server thing becomes interesting. Until then, it's just details.

I'm sad to read that my country was one of those voting to exclude Romania and Bulgaria. Especially since it was over a supposed migration issue.

I just found the most amazing #puzzle game on @fdroidorg, its called #FlowIt and is very fun to play! 😃
The #game looks and feels very simple at first, but as you go through the levels you'll see the #puzzles getting more complex and interesting.

They also seem to have a desktop version of the game but I haven't tried it out - github.com/Flowit-Game/flowit-…

I don't tend to photograph the #forest at the #goldenhour - particularly when the sun is strong.
That doesn't mean I am not out looking for images at this time of day; it's just that direct sunlight usually adds unwanted complexity to most scenes. The woods are full of chaos & need to be simplified.
Below are some images where the strong golden light did add something extra.
p.s. A big THANK YOU for all of the awesome support on my Groot #tree post.

Pick a toot that resonates with you and open it up. See who commented, or retooted it. Look at those people's profiles. Follow them.
Look at their older toots and follow the people whose comments on those toots pique your interest.

Interesting observation. I opened a twitter account in 2009, followed about 600 people, and then I didn't use it again as my feed was full of stuff.
I've just joined Mastodon, and I'm learning the craft of ensuring my follow list is carefully curated as that defines my experience here. It has taken me a while to realise that and be super picky on who to follow rather than just follow anyone. If I am following someone, there is a reason why.
I started that way here too, but I found that some of my most interesting connections have come not from those I directly followed initially, but rather those they responded to or boosted. Also, it's been super easy to mute or unfollow people, and no one complains. They are all too busy looking at all the new any shiny posts to miss me commenting on their stuff 😅
I wish for you, the curated feed of your dreams. It's not hard to do here. The people are fantastic.

in reply to Gidi Kroon • • •This is very frustrating and is lowering my confidence in Trakt. I left #SIMKL for Trakt and still think it's better, but you could get automated monthly backups there.
The fact that they will not say when their last backup data was is very scary. I can't believe they are not making nightly incremental backups. I feel like the other shoe is about to drop. *sigh*

in reply to Gidi Kroon • • •LoL, indeed.
I just saw that the backup is from Nov 7th. Guh!
Of course I had just spent something in the order of 5 hours the week prior to the crash sorting out my watch history. Being new, I was making the mistake of adding prior watched items to my current timeline, vs when it was released. This might be entirely my fault 😜
