Ich habe wieder eine Frage , vor einigen Tagen lief auf #PBS in den #USA die #Doku, "Art Spiegelman: Disaster is My Muse". Weiss einer wo man die in #Deutschland oder der #Schweiz streamen kann? Nein ich möchte dafür kein VPN einrichten. #Maus #Spiegelmann

Some questions for all the #GoToSocial users out there.

How many gigabytes of disk space (roughly) does your instance use?

How long has it been online?

And does the growth in storage slow down after the first seven days (on the default configuration), when cached images start clearing out?

Hat jemand eine Idee, wo ich ein #Schmuckstück wie auf den Bildern gezeigt bekommen könnte?

Es ist meine geliebte #Brockenhexe, die ich verloren habe. Ich habe sie vor Jaaahren auf dem #RudolstadtFestival geschenkt bekommen und natürlich keine Visitenkarte der Künstlerin oder des Künstlers.

Der Gag an diesem Anhänger ist, dass die #Hexe um die Schultern und Knie eine Achse hatte und damit lustig geschaukelt hat.

Can anyone recommend a good app for using Mastodon?

(The one currently I use - Tooot - hasn't had an update since I started using it a couple of years ago, and now seems to be glitching.. )

Ich will das auch mal probieren mit diesem Followergedöns:

Suche Tipps zur Übernachtung vom 24.6. auf 25.6. im Gebiet Chur / Churwalden auf dem Weg nach Italien.
Alternativ alles, was vor dem Julier- bzw. Berninapass liegt und motorradfreundlich ist.

Building the latest version of samba from source on my Raspberry Pi 5 because whenever I access my share from iPhone or iPad - even though I log in as a registered user - I only have read access.

On a Mac in Finder everything works perfectly well - just like on other Linux/Windows systems.

Hopefully newer SMB version will help.
Or if you guys know what might be the reason - help is greatly appreciated .

Hallo Fediverse,
für ein Forschungsprojekt sind wir (ein paar Wesen aus der @binary_kitchen ) auf der Suche nach der zentralen Steuereinheit eines Pfandautomaten, genauer:

Ein Tomra T-820, ist ein Auslaufmodell, könnte also aus alten Supermärkten, Marktauflösungen, ... ähnliches sein

Falls ihr jemanden kennt oder so was ganz zufällig selbst im Keller rumliegen habt, wir suchen!

Question: When I approve follow requests, how do I then go back and follow them in return? I can't find any 'history' of approving follow requests. #fedihelp

#fedihelp #ukulele
Ist it possible to adjust the strings of a ukulele for a left handed child by only exchanging the order of the strings, or are further adjustments necessary?
(The child is 5, so I don't want to invest tons of money)

Ich habe Mal eine schwierige Frage, kennt einer den #Porzellan #Hersteller, gibt es den noch und kann man da evtl von einem bestimmten Porzellan Teile nachkaufen? #Eigl #osterreich #fedihelp #fedihelp_de #teller #tase #zuckerdose

Question to #linux community: is it necessary/recommended to reboot my Raspberry Pi running Raspbian Bookworm after I update my packages via apt? What about those installed via Flatpak? And most importantly - why?

I want to set up a cron job for that and not sure whether or not I should also add a reboot after updating

#fedihelp
Can anybody give me a hint for a good #book to learn to play #ukulele ?
Until now, I learned with Andreas #Bördlein #UkuleleLernenSchrittFürSchritt but now I played through both of his books and most books on Amazon are intended for beginners (starting with C and F...).
A book with videos would be perfect, but I'm desparate enough to have a look at everything.

(Sorry for my bad english, wasn't able to use it for years... But I can understand it, so books in english are ok)

Gesucht:

- Listen von Landtagsabgeordneten möglichst aller Landtage (Landesparlamente)
- Liste von Bundestagsabgeordneten

Yesterday, I set up my own single-user Fediverse instance using #GoToSocial. Eventually, this account will be my main presence on the Fediverse and (using BridgyFed) BlueSky.

But.

Before I pull everything and everyone over, there's a few things I need to take care of. One is waiting seven days before BridgyFed starts federating this account to BlueSky.

But the other biggie is moderation.

So, Mastodon and GtS instance admins: Are there particular blocklists you're using? And any tips on setting it up?

Hat hier vielleicht jemand für sich erprobte Strategien, die Kiefernmuskulatur zu entspannen? #fedihelp
Problem: Verspannter Kiefer in der Nacht führt zu üblen Kopfschmerzen. (Trage bereits eine Beißschiene)

Ich würde gerne gelegentlich kleine Textschnipsel bloggen und bräuchte was Leichtgewichtiges, was nicht 4 Wochen Einarbeitung oder 3h Kompilieren benötigt. Was würdet ihr da so für Linux empfehlen? Hatte mir mal Hugo angeschaut, aber da bin ich auch nicht so zügig durchgestiegen, wie es mir liebgewesen wäre. Lieber was mit mehr GUI. Auch ggf was, was ich lokal baue und dann hochschiebe.

Gerne retröten.

Ok, on to happier matters.

You may recall that I purchased a poor bedraggled plant from the clearance section at my local supermarket because I wanted to save it from the dumpster. It had two sad flowers which had grown kind of sideways, and it looked like it needed a bit of TLC. No label, so I had no idea what kind of flower it was. And I have historically not been a good keeper of plants. But it cost a dollar, and I figured I'd bring it home and at least let it live out whatever life I could give it, rather than it being consigned to the garbage as it doubtless would have been. I have no pictures of it from this period unfortunately.

He was christened Robert by my spouse as a joke, and I tried to remember to water him, and he lived on my porch through the summer. He got plenty of sun and rain, and at a certain point I also set myself a reminder to water him, and he seemed to be doing so well that I hazarded transferring him from his tiny pot into a larger one, and instead of dying, Robert throve like a champion. His flowers died, but he put out a bunch of new leaves and filled in his new pot. That's the first picture.

As with most flowers, I assumed that Robert was an annual, so I debated what to do as cooler weather set in, but in the end, I brought him into our back room which, while not quite as nice and sunny, gets a decent sun level and isn't freezing. I kept watering Robert through the end of the autumn, and while he seemed to have slowed down a little, he didn't immediately die, so as winter took hold I decreased my watering regimen a little but otherwise kept to the status quo.

At Christmas, my spouse did a show wherein they were given a plant by a castmate named Sean, so Robert, still chipper if with perhaps more dead leaves, was joined by Sean the plant in the back room. I kept watering, fully expecting Robert to eventually give up the ghost. After all, he's an annual. They only live for a year. Surely they know that.

Spring has pretty much set in at this point. Sean is doing fine, and as soon as the weather settles down he will be moved to a larger pot and possibly put outside. And Robert... About a month ago, Robert seems to have woken up again, because he put out a bunch of new leaves. And last week, I thought I saw something which looked like a bud. Sure enough, a few days ago when I came in to water him, the second picture greeted me.

Yes, Robert has blossomed anew. And he's going outside again as soon as it seems safe to do so. Maybe by May. So that'll be nice. Hooray for Robert and my ability to keep from killing him!

Now, my question: I know bupkis about plants. I believe Robert to be a gerbera daisy, as that's what his flower and leaves resemble to me. But my spouse insists that the flowers are too small and the leaves aren't right. Can anyone help? I can take better pictures if necessary.

Also, if I wanted to feed him, any suggestions? He's been making do with tap water and hand-me-down soil for almost a year now, and I wonder if maybe he'd like a bit of nutrition.

Okay, help me decide: Self-hosted Mastodon or GoToSocial? What's the pros and cons of each?

Recently, I set up a VPS running YunoHost.

I've been meaning to set up a personal single-user Fedi instance on it, but life's gotten in the way a bit.

I strongly considered Friendica, but it's not there in terms of UX.

So I've narrowed it down to GtS or Masto.

My understanding is that GtS is far more lightweight, but misses some key features. Masto is more resource hungry.

Will I need a relay server for a single-user instance?

Any other key things I should be aware of before diving in?
