upgraded my server to 4.5. everything works so far, including quote posts and improved reply fetching. ⁂
note: the release's upgrade instructions give the impression that the first step's commands are both run in `/home/mastodon/live`, which will result in a "definition not found" error.
the first step is actually two steps: first update `rbenv` in `/home/mastodon`, then switch to `/home/mastodon/live` to install the required ruby version.
After this, I'm going to try to use the internet only to read short fiction:

This was a truly annoying amount of work, and long overdue, but I now have blog CATEGORIES.
There's also a dedicated #RSS feed for each content type.
So if you only want to follow my incredibly rare travel diary #photography entries ( there are two of these lol) and you hate everything else I write, well now you can isolate them.

Just did a post about the current coding job market. About how much I relent AI code and rabid profit driven companies. Its very ranty.

How to detect “Slow Web” writing through text analysis:
• Average sentence length → depth of reflection
• First-person rate → level of introspection
• Emotion polarity (lexicon-based) → calm or neutral tone
• Buzzword ratio → viral or performative bias
• Abstract/concrete balance → sincerity of voice
• Style variance → steadiness of thought
A quiet algorithm to find thoughtful writing.

Masto-mailo-inator by Michał M. Sapka
"Masto-mailo-inator is a small program which allows reading Mastodon from the comfort from your modern email client. It works by reading mastodon API and storing each toot as a mail message in Maildir format. I build to escape from browser even more, to learn python and how email works."

I made two classless CSS themes. Nebula I and II are simple, minimal classless CSS themes designed to look like Gemtext from the Project Gemini web protocol.
The blue theme is shown but there's a red theme as well.

Flirting with #indieweb again. Learned that some folk are creating "now" pages. Sorta like, you have a contact page and an about page. Now you also have a _now_ page. Its purpose is to tell visitors what this person is focused on at this point in their life. I think its a neat idea - mine = https://roylindauer.com/now
One thing though that I really love is seeing people building retro sites like geocities, but actually way better. Has the aesthetic, but are decent and use web standards 😂
Your "Second Brain" is trapped in a Walled Garden. 🚨
Stop treating your knowledge as digital compost! Rewilding the Network means moving from isolated vaults to a **Federated Digital Garden**.
🌱 Why it matters: Compound interest on your learning.
🔗 How it works: Obsidian → RSS → ActivityPub → Serendipity.
We’re building a content-dependent web, not a platform-dependent one. Own your knowledge.
