@LensaMoon Aww, suck! I'm sorry to year that. I hate bosses like that! It's pure evil.

@TheGibson I finally got lazy enough to put some work into it. Also, I don't get paid enough to use Ruby.

#mastodonadmins New mastools 0.1.2 has a bit prettier output:

```
Changed user: tek
fields:
- 'Avatar': 'Me, at night, with tunes'
+ 'Avatar': 'Me, at night, with music'
note:
<unchanged>

New user: foo
fields:
+ <none>
note:
+ <none>

Deleted user: spammer
fields:
+ 'pay me': 'http://example.com/'
note:
+ <none>
```

I wanted to make it as low-overhead as possible for busy admins.

@a I guess. I'm not sure what to think about that.

@dadegroot OMG mine wants to come visit!

#mastodonadmins, I made my first (barely there, but hey) release of Python tools for working directly with a Mastodon instance's database. It's at https://github.com/freeradical-dot-zone/mastools . The initial goal is to set up the framework I can use for building more advanced stuff later.

It does have a nice "show-user-changes" command that shows you which users have recently added or removed URLs from their bios, which is handy for looking for tech support spammers. I run it from an hourly cron job.

This week I'm starting the "model Mastodon database tables in Python+SQLAlchemy" project in support of some admin tooling I want to make exist.

Kik messenger is shutting down Friday. They’re keeping the cryptocurrency team, though. 🙄

I have masterful mounted the power strip and Ethernet switch inside the bookshelf where they’ll be accessible, ventilated, and hidden. Now I can rest.

@Xian It was quite nice.

@TheGibson Ubuntu, then?

@TheGibson @Dafne 👋🏻

@TheGibson FreeBSD.

@greyor Exactly! Let them decide when they’ve gone too far. Don’t decide that for them.

TL;DR STFU

@greyor So sweet! So, my first real synth was a TX81Z. It had a great manual aimed at expert users, and no one told me it was supposed to be hard, so I ran with it. (That’s also how I learned assembler. Please don’t ever warn me that something may be over me head because then I might not be able to learn it. 😀)
