Bob Jonkman (bobjonkman@gs.jonkman.ca)'s status on Monday, 31-Dec-2018 01:26:33 UTC Bob Jonkman Making !GNUsocial work with #ActivityPub is the right thing to do, but I'm not sure that removing OStatus is. Does #Mastodon allow transport protocols to be added as plugins? -
Bob Jonkman (bobjonkman@gs.jonkman.ca)'s status on Sunday, 19-Aug-2018 01:28:55 UTC Bob Jonkman I'm noticing this in the !Fediverse too. Partly, I blame it on my poor installation of GNUsocial, which doesn't reliably receive messages in conversations with people I'm definitely subscribed to. I think this happens mostly with people using Mastodon software. It's not helped that I can't subscribe to my own Fedgroups on http://sn.jonkman.ca/groups . Some people formerly active on GNUsocial instances have moved to Mastodon instances, and I'm no longer reliably receiving their messages. Other people have just left eg. @mk Marjolein and @ErkanYilmaz I'm subscribed to more people than ever, but I miss the old friends. -
Bob Jonkman (bobjonkman@gs.jonkman.ca)'s status on Wednesday, 18-Jul-2018 23:55:44 UTC Bob Jonkman The #SysAdmin rule of 80:20 - 80% of the problems are #PEBKAC from people who don't #RTFM, the other 20% of the problem are from people who DID #RTFM and made it worse... -
Bob Jonkman (bobjonkman@gs.jonkman.ca)'s status on Wednesday, 04-Apr-2018 18:56:15 UTC Bob Jonkman I divorced #Google and became #Googlefree when I started using #ownCloud, and now, !Nextcloud for the calendar. I'm also using it as a webDAV drive, and #Nextcloud can also do collaborative editing of documents. @beechmtn @stoori @mayel -
Bob Jonkman (bobjonkman@gs.jonkman.ca)'s status on Sunday, 18-Feb-2018 08:58:30 UTC Bob Jonkman I've occasionally deleted the whole thing in !StatusNet. It took a few days to rebuild the avatar images for active subscriptions, and, of course, the media content is forever missing. I haven't not noticed that it creates database reference issues, but then the database for the !StatusNet instances seem to have other (self-inflicted) damage. Your mileage with !GNUsocial may vary from mine with !StatusNet. -
Bob Jonkman (bobjonkman@gs.jonkman.ca)'s status on Thursday, 18-Jan-2018 20:24:22 UTC Bob Jonkman Hi @EineBiene: The groups I created are all at http://sn.jonkman.ca/groups/ There are currently no plans to move them; my https://gs.jonkman.ca/ instance is too flakey right now -- I can't subscribe to my own groups, for example. Unfortunately, I believe there are also other !GNUsocial users who cannot subscribe to groups on sn.jonkman.ca, so something does need to be done. -
Bob Jonkman (bobjonkman@gs.jonkman.ca)'s status on Monday, 13-Nov-2017 22:10:00 UTC Bob Jonkman Yup! I set up an !ownCloud server in 2013 (?) specifically to divorce myself from Google Calendar. I disliked the ownCloud calendar webUI; the !Nextcloud calendar webUI is only slightly better. But the backend implements the iCalendar spec RFC 5545 very well, so I'm using Thunderbird's Lightning caledendar plugin, the DAVdroid app from !Fdroid, and have used the .ics public access URI for other implementations. #GoogleFree -

Bob Jonkman (bobjonkman@gs.jonkman.ca)'s status on Wednesday, 25-Oct-2017 05:50:02 UTC Bob Jonkman @blp @mikegerwitz @fsf We continue to lead by example. Show off our use of #FreeSoftware. Where possible, shun non-free software and services, and be vocal about why you do so. For those can afford to do so, give patronage to Free Software developers. -

Bob Jonkman (bobjonkman@gs.jonkman.ca)'s status on Friday, 22-Sep-2017 17:05:31 UTC Bob Jonkman Just tried to subscribe to @silverwizard again, now getting error "FeedSubBadURLException: Request timed out after 60 second(s)" !GNUsocial -
Bob Jonkman (bobjonkman@gs.jonkman.ca)'s status on Monday, 18-Sep-2017 03:24:07 UTC Bob Jonkman Not sure how to get subscribed to @silverwizard ; my !GNUsocial tells me "Sorry, we could not reach that address. Please make sure that the OStatus address is like nickname@example.com" -
