There are still 27 contacts left, which are missing out by not following me back on my new instance. These are the 27 contacts on this account, that can still read this. I am already following each one of you on the new account.

If you don't want to follow me anymore, that is fine with me. But i will eventual unfollow you.

You can find me on m1rk0@social.defcon42.net.

See ya!

The first and quick decision is often the best.

Importing contacts to "m1rk0@social.defcon42.net" right now.

Welcome to Mastodon y'all, Glitch Edition.

Since all of my instances are private, followers need to be accepted manually. Please be patient.

Thank you and see you there!

Dear friends and followers,

as you may have noticed, i am testing several fediverse services right now. I have working instances on #GoToSocial, #Sharkey, #Mastodon (Glitch Edition) and this one here on #Friendica.

Friendica has many small issues with ActivityPub compatibility, that are still there after the last update and are nagging on me during daily use. No previews, posts from Mastodon not showing up in the timeline or other similar nuisances. Yes, it has the best connectivity to other internet services to offer - together with #Hubzilla. It can even be used as a RSS reader. I have been running this instance for quite some time and these issues haven't got any better. I think it's time for a change.

GoToSocial is still in beta and has a lot of features missing. Figure. Too early to use it for an instance.

Sharkey - formerly known as #Firefish - is a fork of #Misskey with a great modern UI and visuals. And a lot more features to offer than Mastodon.

Last but not least there is Mastodon. Clean and simple UI, decent features and widely known.

The only thing i am sure about is, that i will close this instance in the near future. I have to choose between Sharkey and Mastodon, i guess.

This is the way. Stay tuned.

Fuck it. I don't want to wait on a refurbished deal any longer.

I just ordered a new MS Surface Pro 11 with OLED display. Maybe #Linux will run on it with a fully functional touch&pen. If not, i can always go back to Windows 11. Because i can.

For me, it's the best detachable with a desktop OS out there.

There is a fork of Mastodon available, called "Glitch Edition", that has some special features implemented. My new instance at social.defocn42.net is running this fork.

I came upon an interesting error when trying to connect to the instance. Adding the user "m1rk0@social.defcon42.net" failed because of an unknown network. Then i tried it the other way around from the Mastodon instance and could follow myself on Friendica. The connection is now mutual and the Mastodon instance is recognized as "glitchsoc".

Are there known issues with glitchsoc and Friendica? It's weird, that the connection can be established only from one side and is working normally afterwards.

Friendly reminder:

If you use #Quobuz for sharing music links, you cannot listen to these links without an active Quobuz subscription, because it doesn't have a free or ad financed tier.

I not yet sure what to make out of this record. Very intriguing the least.

A #Live album of #german band #Alkaloid, which mixes their usual #ProgressiveDeathMetal with #classical and clean female vocals. It will test even fans of the band for sure.

How do you open sites in #Vivaldi, that are marked as insecure because of a missing or faulty certificate? Chromium browsers normally have an option "continue to site" despite the error message, but it's missing in my browser. @Vivaldi

EDIT: The "always use HTTPS" option is OFF.

Nächste Woche soll wohl der nächste Stable Release von #Friendica erscheinen.
Ich nutze seit kurzem wieder meine eigene Node und habe schon wieder so viele neue Probleme, die ich vor gut 1 Jahr mit der gleichen Installation nicht hatte. Ärgernisse, die mein tägliches #Fediverse Erlebnis stören.
Ja, das Entwicklerteam ist sehr übersichtlich, aber wenn das Update diese nervigen Kleinigkeiten (vor allem ActivityPub Inkonsistenzen) nicht abschaltet, werde ich wohl auf eine andere Plattform wechseln.
Ich wäre auch bereit, meine RSS Feeds wieder klassisch über den Browser zu verwalten.

Moin.
