  I like how snappy our Mastodon servers are now, they are super-duper-über fast. It is funny, considering we did not even increase the CPU or RAM. We simply migrated and upgraded to newer hardware and MaxiOPS, thanks to UpCloud. Faster, better, stronger. Nothing bad to say about Hetzner either. We had a successful 4-year run there. A better offer simply presented itself.

  In the Fediverse, you really shouldn't be afraid to wear out the "fav" ⭐️ (or "like" ❤️ on some instances), because that data isn't used for training. So share the love! Make people feel seen!

  My daughter is having a hard time again. She felt terrible telling me about her struggles the other night, thinking it was better to protect me from more anxiety and worry since I already have enough of my own. She couldn't bring herself to tell me that she hasn't been doing well for at least six months. I'm glad we had a long conversation, cried, and let it all out. I told her she should always feel free to talk to me and never view her problems as a burden. So, I suggested we rest...

  I will be talking at Mindtrek 2026 in Tampere on 6th of October, in the Developers track. My talk: "Sovereign by habit: 20 years of self-hosting from source on European servers." 20 years of running my own infrastructure, why that habit matters more now, and what actually holds up in practice. Theme this year is OpenTech: Building Europe's Digital Sovereignty. https://www.mindtrek.org #OpenSource #MindTrek #MindTrek26 #MindTrek2026 #SelfHosted #Events #Tampere

  There is no shame in posting the same thing repeatedly or boosting your own posts. On Mastodon it's the necessity, different people are awake during different hours. #Mastodon #MastodonTips

  :skull360: We've upgraded our Mastodon server to v4.8.0-alpha.3+mementomods-2026-09-15. That is 98 new commits from upstream since our 6.9.2026 build. Mastodon 4.7.2 is a security release and it is folded into this build. 🔒 Security - HEIF and AVIF image decoding has been turned off. These are the formats iPhones use for photos. Mastodon calls this a temporary measure, so it will likely come back once the underlying issue is resolved upstream. No advisory has been published for it yet. W...

  LOLA is a proposal for live online account portability between two ActivityPub servers at the request of a user. The goal is to allow the user to pursue the following workflow: - Request a destination server to copy an ActivityPub account from a source server - Authorize the destination server to the source server - See the content in its new location after the destination server completes copying it over - Optionally, at a later time, ask the source server to send notifications to followers th...

  Doing some Ansible work today. I last used Puppet and Ansible about 10 years ago. Bash is my go-to, but I see the benefit of having a more standardized setup when you're managing more servers and clusters.

  The internet is broken. Many people feel that if they don't get likes, views, or comments, they've failed. I still vividly remember the days when I created my first website or updated Twitter via text message. It was great just being online, visibility wasn't even on our minds. Commercial algorithms ruined the internet. Everything is filtered through them, and it has fundamentally changed how people think. Even dating has turned into a doomscrolling app on Tinder, brows...

  Vähän semmoinen tunne tuli, että kunpa olisin uskaltanut perustaa yhdistyksen jo aikaisemmin 😅 Mutta toisaalta jännitin myös oman instanssin avaamista yleisölle aikoinaan tosi paljon. Lähinnä se vastuu niin monen ihmisen sometileistä. Mutta toisaalta se on hassua, sillä teen töissä enterprise-tason hommia, verkkopalveluita ja palvelimia, jotka vaikuttavat tuhansiin, jopa satoihin tuhansiin ihmisiin. Tällä alalla kukaan ei kuole jos mokaa. Ja vaatimukset itseäni varten ovat aika pirun korkealla....

  I wish I could eat properly. I hate eating. I eat too little and too rarely. I could be an ultra runner if only I knew how to improve my eating. I hate cooking, I hate thinking about eating, planning meals, or nutrition in general.

  Twitter-tuotemerkki on nyt vapaata riistaa ja Bluebird-niminen startup haluaa palauttaa saitin entiseen loistoonsa osoitteeseen https://twitter.now En aio silti mennä "takaisin". Mastodon ja Threads (Threadsin osalta tosin vähän siinä ja siinä nykyään) korvasivat sen mitä sain Twitteristä. Lintu on kuollut. https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2026/08/new-twitter-launches-says-musks-x-gave-up-the-name/ #SosiaalinenMedia #Twitter

  Lueskelen vanhaa tweettiarkistoani. Kirjoitin 5+ vuotta sitten näin: Aikoinaan itsetuntoni ollessa nollissa mietin mitä muut minusta ajattelevat. Nykyään tiedän, että vaikka olisin kuinka kiltti, aina löytyy joku joka pitää piirrettäni, mielipidettäni tai kantaani negatiivisena. Meitä on moneen junaan. On aivan turhaa yrittää miellyttää kaikkia. --- Ajattelen edelleen näin. Minusta tuntuu hämmentävältä, että jotkut ovat ylipäätään kiinnostuneita muiden ihmisten elämästä ja heidän käytöksest...

  :skull360: We've upgraded our Mastodon server to v4.8.0-alpha.1+mementomods-2026-08-23. That is 53 new commits from upstream since our 15.8.2026 build. This is a quiet round on the surface. Almost all of the upstream work went into the Mastodon 5.0 redesign, which is behind a switch and not turned on for anyone yet, so there are no new features for you this time, just fixes. 🔧 Fixes & improvements - Autosuggestions no longer overstay their welcome in languages that do not put...

  In short, Fediverse Report says that launching Threads as part of the Fediverse is basically dead in the water. They have decided not to pursue it in 2026, and nobody is actively developing it anymore. Well, good riddance, I guess. It was fun before it even started. Many of us saw this coming. I would not be surprised if they phase it out completely over the next few years. The Fediverse was never a real priority for them, it was just marketing hype all along. Just like some open source LARPin...

  In my hometown, there's this huge raven in the city center. He sits and watches. I find him comforting. He's a celebrity by now, and newspapers write about him. I saw him again today. I didn't want to disturb him, so I didn't take any photos. What a character.

  Ihmiset ilmoittavat töihin palatessaan somessa, että eivät muista salasanaansa. Tämä kielii siitä, että salasanamanageria ole käytössä. Varmistathan, että seuraavat tietoturvan perusasiat ovat kunnossa: 1. Käytä salasanamanageria (Bitwarden, 1Password) 2. Käytä vahvaa salasanaa https://bitwarden.com/password-strength 3. Joka palveluun eri salasana! 4. Käytä monivaiheista tunnistautumista (2FA, MFA, TOPT) tai pääsyavainta Itsellä 10000+ salasanaa, eikä kyllä kiinnosta opetella yhtäkään ulkoa.

  Sometimes Mastodon loses link preview card images and never refetches them, especially for older links. I haven't had time to figure out the root cause, so I created a quick cron script to fetch the missing images. Here it is, in case it's useful to anyone: https://github.com/mementomori-social/mementomori-scripts/blob/ea55b8682571afee142eacfda4b1027ccf86b569/refetch-preview-cards.sh #MastoAdmin #Mastodon

  RE: https://mementomori.social/@rolle/109483475710724474 Ilmeisesti https://blogi.social on siirtynyt täysin varoittamatta autuaammille metsästysmaille. Instanssin ylläpitotahoa ei ole tiedossa, joten asialle ei ole juurikaan mitään tehtävissä. Aina yhtä harmillista nähdä, että avoimia instansseja laitetaan pystyyn, mutta jätetään servut oman onnensa nojaan, eikä huolehdita, että käyttäjät ehtivät vaihtaa ajoissa toiselle instanssille. #SuomiFedi #Fediversumi
