Sam the Octopus
boosted
the fediversemas song (with apologies to all parties, past, present, and tomorrow's)
chosa takes, hot like an open fire
codemom's wrangling the fork
banjo's painting more of our history
and my ISP's run by a shork
did somebody say jort?
I can't believe that that's a meme
it's been a lot of pineapples and bread
gargamel finally fixed the mojos
so now we all can toot and fav his head 
they say that Masto cannot last
they say that OStatus and indieweb are past
but every day and night, we're all still here
they'll still be saying all that crap this time next year
and so, I'm offering this shitpost verse
to fediversians both old and new
although we may argue, never doubt you are loved
and happy fediversemas - awoo!
anecdotal "engagement metrics"
Here's something I've noticed
On average, I'm getting between 60 and 80 notifications per day from mastodon which includes favs, boosts, replies, and mentions
That's with something in the region of 90 followers
Compared to when I was on birdsite I had about the same number of followers, and 60 to 80 notifications might happen in a week, more likely two weeks
No idea if that actually means anything, but it's something I've noticed
@lizardsquid there's still a big difference between helping your uncle Jack off a horse, and helping your uncle jack off a horse
brexit moaning
@BatElite that and complete denial of reality, yes
@squirrel I'm... a relatively smaller number of flags
@sireebob@cybre.space do you have ffmpeg and gstreamer-libav installed?
What does about:support say?
Do you have Plex Media Server installed?
MANY COOL NEW EMOJOS!
@squirrel okay, yeah, that'll feel really embarrassing but it's really easily done and happens to all of us
@squirrel you're definitely not
what was the problem in the end?
@noelle ah yeah, that'd make it awkward to figure stuff out 
@noelle I'll take that to mean you figured something out
@squirrel take five minutes, grab a cup of tea/coffee, just step away from it for a little while
That'll help more than anything else right now
@squirrel sorry to be the bearer of more bad news, but now if I click on someone's name then all the usual stuff shows in the third panel (bio, then posts) but it pops up a 500 error and doesn't display following/you are followed by
@squirrel just so I understand the problem, all the ruby code is as it should be right?
and both the "follows" and "follow_requests" tables have a column called "show_reblogs" which is non-nullable and default true right?
@Elizafox would only need a small change after the apocalypse
Switch it to the Board of Immortans and you can get straight to hoarding water, gasoline, and guns
@Elizafox they literally couldn't have come up with a more pompous name for themselves
Bloody "immortals"
@squirrel @InspectorCaracal oh! I thought the ruby thought they were there but they weren't in the db
@squirrel @InspectorCaracal oh yeah, I mean go in to the database to do it manually
@InspectorCaracal @squirrel for that commit it just added a column to two tables so you might be able to just add those manually
