Starting up my blog, for like the fourth(?) time. Using Publii this time to get the benefits of a static site with more of the ease of use of WordPress. Hope to post more about what I know with regards to hosting services at home!
Hello all, @Lights Out Games is having trouble making posts, but they can respond when my node tags them in a post, and others can comment on their posts. Seeing if tagging will help them to be able to see the forum and any replies.

This reminds me that I still need to close my Spotify account after switching to Tidal.
@Steven Brady I mainly use them for when the install would be a bit too over my head otherwise! Haha. Matrix was one of those. Just didn't have a lot of experience setting virtual environments. Also with docker everything is stored in the same folder (config, data, etc.), so it makes it a bit easier to migrate.
I generally can wrap my head around docker-compose a lot easier than normal docker. You mostly just set everything up in the compose file as YAML, then add a few links in the config to external config files (matrix needed to do this). Still had to fight with nginx and Postgres in docker-compose for a bit, but nice to have it all up and running together.
Got up really early to catch the lunar eclipse! This is a combo of several exposures in #photomatix , an #hdr program. Only have a 300 mm lens, so not the most detailed, but very satisfied with the exposure fusion!

I guess there's one benefit of remote work I can see as an essential employee, a lot of the middlemen I report data to may not be around and I can get more credit for the work I do:
"Similarly, if your entire work product is boxing up other people’s production and sending it to the CEO, that becomes significantly harder to prove as your own in a fully digital environment—the producer in question can simply send it along themselves. Remote work makes who does and doesn’t actually do work way more obvious."

Apple’s weather app won’t say it’s 69 degrees
Apple’s Weather app on iOS 14 has an usual issue: it refuses to display the number 69 for its forecasts, rounding its source data up to 70 degrees or down to 68. The error appears to be fixed on the upcoming iOS 15, however.Chaim Gartenberg (The Verge)

I've also heard these are a good source of tannins, and were used to make the original iron based inks.
Been having fun finding galls - swellings or growths on leaves & stems caused by insects, mites, & even fungi. There are so many different shapes and they're all so fascinating! You can find many on oak and hackberry trees. Just flip over a leaf! #galls fieldguides.fieldmuseum.org/sites/default/…

Hey, Plusporans!
I posted this as a reply to someone who was reposting the announcement about the issues Pluspora was having lately, but I figured I would post this just in general.I would like to extend an open invitation to you and anyone who is wanting or needing to setup another fediverse account (due to the unfortunate circumstances at Pluspora) to come check out Friendica. Our friendly Friendica instances speak many languages, so they reach in to many other parts of the fediverse - the GNU Socials, Pleromas, Mastondons, etc, as well as Hubzillas and of course, Diasporas. This invitation is not to dissuade from choosing any particular path, but as I don't see enough cheering for all the great improvements that go in to Friendica all the time, I figure I'd make some noise, especially in light of the changes (or possible changes?) going on at Pluspora.
Feel free to try out a Friendica account at social.isurf.ca (I've been running this instance since April 2018) or at any instance that might be close and comfortable geographically - you can find a list at the-federation.info/friendica
Heck, even if one has had an account on a Friendica instance in the past, there's been a great number of improvements over the past couple of years.
Have a great day, hope all is well, and we look forward to seeing you wherever you wind up!

in reply to JB Carroll • • •Awesome, thanks.
Hey folks, I'm trying to debug lots of connectivity issues, including the ones mentioned here. But to keep things a bit more manageable, I'm curious about why a few posts made from venera.social to this forum don't appear to have been received by some folks.
I don't know how to link to specific posts on a forum, but if you visit forum.friendi.ca/~helpers you'll see a few posts from me that got no response. I didn't want to complain, but when I asked around, some folks hadn't received them at all.
So any idea what's going on here? I don't control venera.social so I can't debug it. Is it a blocked instance or something?
I'm also having issues with a new instance not federating, but you can read more about those directly from the forum page. Or maybe I'll post again once we figure out why my forum posts don't appear to propagate.
Thanks!

Unknown parent • • •Cool, any chance you might be able to look over the logs later? I've made a couple posts that weren't received by folks expecting to get them, so I'm not sure the issue is that they aren't following. I'm also having lots of trouble federating with a remote profile, social.lightsout.games/profile… I don't appear as a follower on that instance, but I've followed/unfollowed the account several times with no change. Anyway, no rush, I'm just glad to have found someone with access to logs on this end. :)
I'm also curious about how some of the posts appear to me. I'm a screen reader user, and am not sure if this is an accessibility issue or something else. I can see my own posts on the forum, but they appear as just the post title and the forum tag. I can't see the content locally, though I can see it when viewing the forum instance. I'm wondering if there's some sort of inaccessible "View more" control to expand longer posts, but there's also a lot in the interface that I'm still getting to grips with.
Thanks.
