oh interesting, the Flathub preview image obviously only gets updated in the background, the icon and screenshots and brand colours and summary are all different to what is shown by now :-) TIL

So I made a thing.

The vast majority of the time was spent in navigating guidelines around packaging and screenshots (and I probably still have bits of that wrong), and being less familiar with Codeberg than GH.

Fedinspect is expected to be more interesting for developers poking around at […]

There is no such thing as FEDIVERSE CULTURE.

The Fediverse does not have a (single) culture.

The Fediverse is made of many many different cultures.

There are Fediverse cultureS (plural).

Feditext (@Feditext@mastodon.social) …honestly, right now, i'm having trouble looking at the GitHub issue tracker without wincing. if you're involved with Fedi and experienced with iOS dev (incl. UIKit, SwiftUI, Combine, GRDB) and have ideally shipped an app or two already, there are a lot of new or existing features to implement (GTS and Mastodon both) and more than a few bugs that need work. let's talk. β€” Vyr #feditext

Feditext, one of my favorite, consistently solid fediverse apps, (love it for GtS) is looking for iOS devs to swat at a bug or two.

@Floppy will tidy up a bit and pop on Codeberg or such. It’s not much more than a fancy UI for some HTTP calls but it comes in handy. Plus it does nodeinfo schema validation… πŸ‘€

Fedinspect GTK demo A small GNOME/Adwaita app for inspecting fediverse servers and performing WebFinger user lookups. Let me know what you think... tidying this up at the moment.

Thoughts? https://makertube.net/w/8AJV75EyQY9Sh6yHPSYfkj

It's #FediForumFriday- your reminder to check in with projects you're excited about, ask for or offer help, or just chat with the folks you met and refresh the joy and motivation you felt at #FediForum.

Question for #homelab and #proxmox folks:

Is LVM thinpool write performance incredibly bad on HDD (4 disks, LVM RAID1)?

I am trying to restore a 200gb backup to a fresh thinpool and I'm at 10% after 10,000 seconds...

I have a 1.3TB restore after this... That's... not going to work...

My #FediforumFriday update this week is that I've been tinkering around at the MVP end of the fediverse, trying out projects like #snac (and also, honk). I really need to write some of these experiences down somewhere! Also, preparing for my talk at #FrOSCON next weekend.

What are you looking […]

If you feel the need to mention that you are representing a "reputable software company" in your email, that's a clue, and not to anything good.

We just released Mastodon 4.4.3, 4.3.11, and 4.2.24.

These versions contain bugfixes, and a fix for a security issue if you use SAML. In 4.4.3 there are also changes to how quote posts are handled, as we continue to work towards full support for quote posts in the next main release.

How many organizations? How many people? Still cling to their Twitter / X accounts because they fear giving up the followers they struggled to gain?

How many are there simply because it takes energy to do anything else?

How do we change that?
