protip(?): if you add ".rss" to the end of your profile url, you get a feed of all your public and unlisted toots that you can then plug into ifttt in order to cross-post to birdsite, with links on every one to remind people that you're actually on a much better website. here's how it looks on mine.

@aparrish S3 bandwith is really expensive. Backblaze cost about 1/10th of that, and it's better for static file hosting, but if you need the data for AWS this is what you have to pay.

"Here's a tool that helps you think through [ethical] consequences and makes sure what you're designing is good for the world and good for your longer-term bottom line."

Interesting.
That's their checklist.
https://ethicalos.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/EthicalOS_Check-List_080618.pdfI wonder what activists deep into this stuff think about it!

There's an amazing number of #ActivityPub #alternatives now available or under development:
Twitter -> @Mastodon and #Pleroma
Instagram -> @pixelfed and @anfora
YouTube -> #PeerTube ( @Chocobozzz )
Soundcloud -> @funkwhale
MeetUp -> @GetTogetherComm
Medium -> #Plume ( @BaptisteGelez )
Reddit -> @prismo and Anancus ( @tuxether )
LinkedIn -> @cloutstream
Google Calendar -> @calendar_social
Anything missing from the list? What else is needed?

BBC have done a serialized podcast drama of Alighieri's Inferno - sound effects and ALL... o.O
(it's sort of like "This American Life" but with people in Hell and the speaker investigate their circumstances)

1) Find your twitter friends using this tool:
https://bridge.joinmastodon.org
2) Amaroq seems like a good enough for now iOS mastodon client.
3) No idea for macOS - I'm using the web app in a Fluid.app shell.
4) Yes there's a lot sex ads in the federated feed.

@annika I find it annoying that I can't like and boost replies from a page in browser when I'm looking at someone's profile, it has to be done through my mastodon instance.

Wondering how people randomly find your posts?
Chronological timelines 👌
Hashtags for all public posts 👍
Federated and local timeline! 💙🙏
The federated timeline is "the whole known universe", look at it as curated by the other people you share a server with. 👏
And local timeline is the server (instance as we call it) you're on. 😎😘🤗
Look for "hello world" and bad jokes about toots, then greet at least one other new person! 👋

#intros #introduction I registered this account a while ago but haven't used it actively.
I'm a Python programmer and former Sysadmin in Toronto. I like tinkering with 3D printers, raspberry PI and electronics on the side.
I'm a Linux geek and participate with @gtalug.
Besides computer hobbies I like running and cycling a lot.
I'll be posting more of my side projects and hobbies here, I'll try to put other topics under cw.
