This Mastodon account is running in Safe Mode for a bit, maybe until tomorrow morning. I won't be pinning or boosting any posts on this account, or making changes to the bio.

Crucial posts will be posted on @james@pleroma.jamesp.org. Please go follow me there instead of this account for now.

Do you see why DistroToot didn't last so long?

I feel like I follow too many accounts on this instance and my Timeline is too cluttered. I might have to follow some of you guys on alt accounts such as @james@rojogato.com and @james@gleasonator.com, maybe sign up for more Mastodon/Pleroma instances.

I'm thinking that installing on Arch Linux was a wasted effort as worked fine for me, and Pipewire introduced a bunch of new compatibility problems. The KDE startup sound also doesn't play anymore.

I'm trying to record computer audio with Audacity.

On , for larger instances such as mastodon.social, you should use the Tab to discover new users and posts, since the local and federated timelines will be choked.
For smaller instances, it might be harder to maintain the Explore tab, however, the Local and Federated Timelines should be much easier to handle.
For personal instances, why do we need a local timeline? The Federated Timeline should be easy to handle, though.

Just found out that merged with Akamai two days ago. I use Linode for jamespearson.xyz and pleroma.jamesp.org. Should I migrate anywhere?

Dear YouTube Music,

I rather like that you've learned my tastes well enough to recommend a personal mix, but when you follow up amazing United Pursuit epic worship ballads with Azerbaijani Folk Music, and then The Pointer Sisters, it leaves me feeling a bit discombobulated.

I like them all, just not at the same time.

Little brown out at our house because the coal plants shut down in our area, everyone's using the AC and charging their electric cars, and the grid can't keep up! All because coal and oil are "unsustainable"?

Anyone out there have a recommendation for an RSS reader? I'm thinking of building my own, but I have enough unfinished projects for now.

xbill is a *nix game from 1994 where you work to stop a hacker named Bill from installing a certain proprietary operating system on computers.

TIL there's a modern take named xlennart where you work to stop an unpopular hacker from installing his malicious init system on #linux/#bsd.
