well @QOTO got a funkwhale going JUST IN TIME for my home media server to be out of commission while i re-arrange furniture and install new carpet.

i'll find time tonight to get it plugged in so i can upload my 100% lawful and Free music collection.

are these any good? are they just a RTL dongle and an upconverter in a box? that's the kind of jank i need.

@freemo thanks for posting this list, i was actually trolling through your stream to see if i could gauge the overall status of the QOTO services. i'm excited to see nextcloud is up, as i was inches away from deploying my own.

pixelfed is fun, pretty, and unstable in the debian sense. the appeal of an insta-like has been lost on me. getting it going was difficult but the documentation is MUCH better now, two months later.

writefreely seems absolutely awesome but i personally was going to use jekyll to put publish some ramblings, but, it is possible i could move my entire Fedi presence to this software (i'm more of a long-form writing kind of guy anyway, if this masto instance didn't have such a huge limit i'd just go outside to play i guess).

funkwhale *greatly* interests me, but i worry about the administration and costs. between the two of us we probably have a solid terabyte of music to seed it with. lulz. it would legit be faster to mail a hard drive than to upload.

the rest i'm not familiar enough with.

thanks for the services o/

OK so this #gemini protocol seems like a fun thing to poke at over a weekend; i'm still in a funny mood to make some 3DS homebrew even though i don't speak C/C++.

"Strives for maximum power to weight ratio" my kind of thing.

all of the info about it is seemingly only available over gopher, so here's a link via a gateway:

@mdszy come on just how much activity could a "hamcoin" generate? never under estimate an Old Man's ability to buy a shiny thing and throw it in a desk never to go on the air a second time

@freemo

alright ya'll how the hell am i supposed to describe fedi -- heck, what do i even alcall it? -- to neophytes looking to get away from FB?

free speech is never free

i was driving home a coworker and he goes "damn man this thing drives like a video game"

wa-ta! hi-ya!

i couldn't stop laughing

me and my girlfriend have been teasing this submissive for *years* now. we've played together one other time but really we were just indulging him in his CFNM fetish, among others.

earlier this week we set up something for the last weekend of the month. last night i shot him a message briefly describing how i'll humiliate and degrade him first thing when we meet up, then i wake up to this. i'm worried that i gave too much of my plans away, he seems awfully eager!

i know i am :D

he asked Dianne "what if i lose my subby desires as soon as i show up?" and she replied "well we'll stay dressed and we'll just have to kick your ass in scrabble, maybe order a pizza". this is bullshit, she'll kick both of our asses in scrabble. i'll be sure to replace it on the shelf with uno or monopoly just in case.

this terrifies me

this playlist is pretty baller and will definitely accompany me on my next trip.

01:59:19 <mngrif> i use at least two kinds of soap. does that make me a metrosexual?
02:02:03 <poka> not if it's dr bronners and some hippie shit

i'm terrified at the accuracy of this exchange.

you drag out the eldest of horrors when cleaning out tool boxes and tackle boxes. beware.
