Dear Fediverse: I want a simple, web based, log analyzer + viewer tool that will run on the same machines as the logs will be gathered. No need for cloud based, multi-tenant solutons. All I want is: frequency of errors, some grouping, simple log view. What tool to use?

when you download an image from the web these days, instead of a PNG or a JPEG, you get one of these new formats which is 8% more efficient, not compatible with any "pre-covid software" and has a name which sounds like

It's a good thread, but it completely misses the point. https://social.lot23.com/@jon/109372257422277945

I don't care if 97% of Twitter users don't want a chronological timeline, *I* want one. When they introduced the algorithmic shit all we asked was a setting to keep the chronological one.

JFTR, I don't care a single bit for any of the other things that were mentioned and I never said any feature would kill twitter, and that matches all the other people I spoke to.

This piece on Wired about Black Twitter is worth your time. It's something I've been thinking about a lot, about how uneven a migration to a new space ends up being.

It also is one thing I'm eyeing about Mastodon. There's a danger that servers become silos if we aren't intentional. If you listen to some of the Black scholars in my field, they are saying as much. Twitter makes their work visible across groups.

So how do we federate for inclusion? It will be a challenge.

Understanding #Mastodon gets easier once you get the basic idea that federation between servers can be understood as homeomorphisms across hyperplanes between the Riemannian manifolds of toots, whereas the servers represent countable finite sets of discrete entities.

With the Twitter reinstatement of the former US President who attempted to incite a fascist coup after losing an election, now would _really_ be a good time to stop cross-posting your Twitter RTs here.

If you feel that cross-posting is the only way to maintain a presence here, please consider limiting it to original posts without mentions or RTs, to avoid cluttering timelines with Twitter URLs. Thank you kindly for your consideration.

I'm still not sure if cohost is part of the fediverse, they don't advertise it anywhere when I've skimmed the landing page, and I surely won't just try to follow someone there. Odd.

Really trying to broaden my timeline but it feels kinda weird that half of the posts seem to be about the migration and the other site. Everything is very meta right now and people aren't just posting normal things.

I mean, I've not been terribly active on either platform so I managed to stay out of the huge shitstorms, but with my <150 following and followers I have a feeling I've always used it wrong (or at least not like most people) anyway. We'll see how this works out. In any case I'm really glad the traffic is picking up.
