@noelle my pet theory is that Bitcoin is an academic project designed to demonstrate one incident at a time why every financial regulation we have was originally created. When it hits zero, they'll publish the paper.

That nervous and terrified feeling when you audaciously submit a PR to someone's repository like you're some kind of competent person who knows what the fuck they're doing.

That growing feeling of anxiety after you realise you didn't bring anything to charge your phone with you today and you haven't exactly been restrained in your use so far.

Reminder: there are only four computer skills. Everything else is a lie.

I guess we've needed this formalised for a while.

Going to spend some time this weekend making my home RFC 8375 compliant, because I need things like this to keep me from getting out on the streets and causing a ruckus.

#mastoadmin talk time!

Last night I decided to take a shot at moving my instance out of Docker (which I don't know very well) and into just a regular install with the system PostgreSQL and Redis etc.

I stopped my instance, updated to latest stable and dumped the database, using my usual backup command fired via docker-compose:
docker-compose exec --user postgres db pg_dump -Fc postgres > social.chinwag.org-`date +%Y%m%d%H%M`.psqld

The toot's going to mangle that but you get the idea.

I only have a quite small instance really but the effect of moving my static image/media assets to Google Cloud with a free-tier Cloudflare proxy in front of it have been quite noticeable and reassures me about scaling up easily if/when more people join. #mastoadmins
