Today I needed a day off the keyboard, so I took. It wasn’t the best, but I think it worked pretty well.

I’m glad my new bathroom doesn’t —afaik— have anything that does tracking, because I’m sure it would also do the #wrapped thing:

• Total time spent: 72 hours.
• Most played song in the shower: [Insert your favorite hit here].
• Most used product: Anti-hair-loss shampoo.
• Average nighttime visits: 1.5 times per week.

Maybe it would even include a ranking of your most epic shower moments… Written from the bathroom, obvs.

#Arcane is a masterpiece, and season 2 will be the cherry on top. 10/10. Sorry, but I had to say it.

Today, I said NO to a customer. I think it’s the first time I’ve done it so explicitly. They’ve been trying for months to push me into a space where I feel anything but comfortable, and I realized it wouldn’t be good for either of us. I still feel a bit weird about it… guess it’s just lack of practice.

I feel like we closed a door yesterday that had been open for six years. Grateful for everything I’ve learned and sad because I fear it will be a while before we can actively work together again.

Yesterday, my eyes sparkled once more, even if just for a little while. They already know who they are—no need to say much more.

Today, I’ve been hit with imposter syndrome in a pretty strong way. Suddenly, I felt like a tiny, insignificant ant in a world full of people much better than me. It has passed a little now, just a little.

En nuestra instancia #BOFHers de #Mastodon (https://mastodon.bofhers.es) buscamos soluciones para mantener la actividad. Con 80 usuarios y 300+ GB de disco, en una VM de 8 GB RAM y 8 vCPUs, las actualizaciones son cada vez más complicadas, requiriendo casi el doble de espacio en disco, a pesar de nuestras tareas programadas para reducir cachés, assets y previews.

Agradecemos boost y/o cualquier consejo, sugerencia o aportación para que #BOFHers siga siendo un espacio activo para todos.

Desde que agregamos el clean diario va algo mejor:

Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/xxx 492G 146G 323G 32% /xxx/mastodon

Habría que quitarle 30Gb de los dumps diarios, que también están ahí

load average: 2.61, 2.07, 2.32

El cleanmedia diario:

# tail -n 100 cleanmedia.log
3155/3155 |=========| Time: 00:02:08
Removed 3155 media attachments (approx. 3.71 GB)
1807/1807 |=========| Time: 00:01:09
Removed 1807 preview cards (approx. 343 MB)

No quiero entrar en comparaciones ni tampoco digo que no sea necesario todo esto, pero me parecen unos requisitos - de entrada - demasiado exagerados para interactuar con #activitypub .

I just realized that @things, my favorite task management software, has a Mastodon account!

It’s a pity they’re not as active here as on other social networks… but it’s worth following them, just in case.

#things, #thinkingoutloud

• Update: @things Oh, they’re just as active as on other platforms—it was my instance playing tricks on me.

Mastodon / Bluesky: After a few days of using both apps in parallel, I see strengths and weaknesses in each; I can’t choose one over the other, so what I didn’t want to happen is probably going to happen: I’ll end up using both. I don’t think this will double my social media time, but I don’t think it’s ideal either.

#mastodon, #bluesky
