I'm extremely pleased to launch Run Your Own Social: How to run a small social network site for you friends.

This is a guide book to running a small, tight-knit federated social network server. It comes from my year of experience running Friend Camp. It's focused largely on SOCIAL solutions, though it does touch on the technical.

I've tried to keep it technology-neutral, and it should be a pretty easy read for anyone who's been on the fediverse for a while.

Yo, frens. What do you want in a Moderator Companion App?

What do you want to be able to do?

Bare minimum?

Bonus features?

#introduction

There are so many aspects of me that I always struggle describing myself in a few words.

I can be silly and cute.
I can be logical, nerdy, detailed, analytic.
I can be dreamy and spiritual.
I can be creative, musical, artistic, emotional.
I can be deep and meaningful.

By being too logical, I can get stuck. By being too spiritual, I can lose my footing.
Be a rock and a feather.

In joining this community, I seek to evolve and learn, to inspire and to be inspired.

Love to all.

#introduction

I'm trying to make reading and writing regular parts of my life again. A year ago I started writing at flirtingwithnihilism.com, which turned into something more personal than I originally intended. And thanks to thriftbooks.com, I've started reading physical books again on the cheap.

On Mac, I use all the time the feature of preview to add an image of my signature to PDF files.

Is there a way to do the same easily under Linux?

The Next Stage https://write.as/matt/the-next-stage

I will be starting the upgrade to v2.9.0 for all Mastodon instances hosted on Masto.host.

There should be less than 1 minute of downtime.

You can read about the release here: https://blog.joinmastodon.org/2019/06/mastodon-2.9/ or the changelog here: https://github.com/tootsuite/mastodon/releases/tag/v2.9.0

Looking for help debugging this #WriteFreely federation issue. Can anyone familiar with #Hubzilla help out? https://writefreely.org/issues/121

Both #WriteFreely and #Plume are only a couple stars away from 1,000 on GitHub! Why not send them over the threshold? ⭐

Sometimes
To drill a hole in my head
Makes sense to me
It would make space for the common sense.
