    #MastoAdmin hivemind: anyone else seeing hashtag feed panes taking longer to load under 4.7.0? I&amp;#39;m not 100% sure if it&amp;#39;s new or I&amp;#39;m just imagining it, or even if it&amp;#39;s just me, so I figured I&amp;#39;d ask around before I go digging too deeply.

    Dear person trying to use my gmail account to sign in to your Subway rewards: it wasn&amp;#39;t the right email the first four times, why do you think it&amp;#39;ll work the fifth?

    Seriously? Who doesn&amp;#39;t allow &amp;quot;-&amp;quot; (plain old hyphen) as part of a password? I get maybe not calling it a special character but not allowing it?!? That&amp;#39;s new.

    Should billionaires, as a concept, be allowed to exist? #EndBillionaires (To be clear, I mean &quot;should a single person be allowed to have a personal wealth of $1B USD or more&quot;, not &quot;should we actually literally kill them&quot; or anything like that.) I&#39;m genuinely curious if anyone who answers yes can convince me I&#39;m wrong. Or if I can convince you you&#39;re wrong. Genuine discussion welcome! I&#39;ll post some of my thoughts / answers to arguments I&#39;ve heard in r...

    Ugh, something is freaking eating my lunch with network costs for media from Mastodon. And GCP media hosting via cloud buckets doesn&amp;#39;t seem to have any great ways to filter that / figure out if it&amp;#39;s from AI scrapers or something else (and do anything about it if I could figure that out). Any #MastoAdmin folks fight with this already and have any suggestions?

  • View post

    You&amp;#39;ve got to be fucking kidding me, Google Cloud&amp;#39;s Cloud Armor security policies won&amp;#39;t do HTTP header based filtering on a GCS Cloud CDN bucket endpoint?

    I guess gas prices that start with a &amp;quot;1&amp;quot; are over until they add another digit before the decimal or change the units, huh?

    Okay I&amp;#39;m starting to think that the Google Cloud console is in fact having an as-yet-undetected/reported outage.

    RE: https://mastodon.online/@universalhub/116484579333805424 Such absurd virtue-signalling. Let&amp;#39;s work on problems Boston actually has. Datacenters ain&amp;#39;t one of them - the cost of land, and power, and water are all way too high for it to make any sense. Knock off the #NIMBY headline-chasing and spend time on our actual problems like drugs, and terrible bike infrastructure, and y&amp;#39;know, the housing crisis?

    Howdy #UnionPlace! Monthly hosting costs have bloomed a bit over the past few months, from under $500/mo to over $650 this month. I&amp;#39;m taking a look at where we can cut back, but just a reminder that union.place is run by Labor Union Networking Inc, a US non-profit whose main funder is yours truly, and any donations you can make are greatly appreciated! https://www.laborunionnetworking.org/donate has the details of how you can donate, lots of options available! Thank you for your support...

    How did I only learn about #Tailscale yesterday? WHY HAVEN&amp;#39;T YOU ALL TOLD ME ABOUT IT?!? To be fair I HAD heard about it, I just hadn&amp;#39;t actually had a use case for it, or at least, hadn&amp;#39;t REALIZED I had a use case for it. Which I did. I can now access my building&amp;#39;s Building Management System (BMS) without having to go up to the crappy laptop on the fourth floor. If I really want to I can probably even set up remote desktop so I can use the desktop version, not j...

    Wow, the Google Cloud console is either very badly broken or just has terrible resiliency to a bad filtering proxy (I suspect the latter more so than the former).
