It’s interesting that the biggest communication challenge facing Mastodon communities is explaining that it’s basically a protocol and a network of independent, interconnected servers, which is what the Web, e-mail, even DNS and most of the fundamental services we use on the internet are, and always were.
It just illustrates just how much ‘Big Tech’ proprietary social media platforms swallowed up and walled off, if it’s now difficult to explain what the internet actually is!
So the old hidden feature of accessing Mastodon accounts via RSS has done the rounds again. If you missed it, just add .rss to a user URL, e.g.
https://mastodon.online/@vivaldibrowser.rss
How might you use this? Well here is an idea, subscribe to yourself in an RSS reader and then use the RSS reader's search function to quickly find your old posts.
Oh… did we mention that Vivaldi has an RSS reader built in? 😉

@realcaseyrollins I've been catching some of your posts about setting up an instance of your own. I can try to help you if I can but I'm just not sure which type of instance you're trying to create.

Hey No Agenda and Moe Factz people, I am looking for a new job. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I am currently an analytical chemist that does mostly failure analysis, raw material comparisons, and advanced qa/qc type things for polymer coatings. I am also not bad at data collection, analysis, and visualization using various Python extensions. Quite capable of fabrication as well including light carpentry, soldering/welding, arduino, etc.

I managed to forget my #SurfaceGo2's password by not using it in a while. Now I wonder: Is there an Arch-based distro with SecureBoot support, or another secure-boot distro that has something comfortable like arch-chroot? #ask
anyone using a Raspberry Pi cluster case that they like? I'm up to 4 Pi's sitting on my desk and plan to add another soon and would like to clean it up a bit. I'm leaning towards this one. https://www.amazon.com/GeeekPi-Raspberry-Cluster-Stackable-8-Layers/dp/B085XSPV7G

The rapid, dramatic windfall for provincial governments
Source: https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/calgary/provincial-budgets-turnaround-1.6616790
"Canadians are feeling the pinch of higher prices these days. But that isn't the case with provincial budgets. Coffers are filling, with many provinces slashing the size of their deficits or growing surpluses, leaving most of those governments in a much better position than they were earlier this year."
All the things that cost more in Canada than anywhere else on earth
"Canadians may soon be docked an extra charge for paying with their credit card. Henceforth, it you buy something with a credit card (other than debit or cash), it’s now legal for retailers to tack on a surcharge of as much as 2.4 per cent."
Canadians pay more for:
Cell phone charges
Air travel (6th in the World)
Health care (2nd in the World)
Motor fuels
Milk
Housing
