datn ✅of the faffling gesture @datn@spanner.works

@cadadr things that would force me to spend more time & money:

* as few as 3 more active users
* more moderation requests (btw i currently choose to moderate trending hashtags)

@cadadr

context: i run a tiny instance with a handful of active users, one step above a single-user instance.

technical skill: i was a sysadmin for 20+ years. start to finish i'd call intermediate difficulty, but that includes writing my own backup scripts, using swapfiles to reduce my memory consumption/pay less monthly, &c

dedicated time: couple hours a month max, after the initial setup

costs: i pay about $25/mo for a server with 3GiB RAM & 30GiB disk plus a 50GiB backup partition

@Taweret sing it!

i slept 11 hours last night and ate three cheeseburgers of my own making for "lunch" (late afternoon). my entire everything is out of whack.

now it's 9pm/21:00 and i want to go out and... what? ride my bike in tight circles? get into a fistfight? i have NO idea what is in my own heart

@photophoregirl how's your yeast holding up? here in Berlin it's easier to find fucking toilet paper than yeast, and that's saying something

@Taweret CHADDER

oh!

@em i get them from seemingly all sizes except supa small

gah

dunno if it's my internet provider, wireless or Nintendo's European servers, but even after updating my DNS i can't get my airport gates to stay open! :(

@em i hear you, and i'm certainly paying off my latest home improvement by crafting the heck out of 'em, but i just wanna catch a FEW fish sometime again

@em we gotta do SOMETHING with 'em!

I've never liked gaming online because so many humans are awful. now that Animal Crossing has seduced me, I'm actually looking into what other games I have (and I have many) where I could game online.

is this a terrible idea

@Juju when I was still doing translation and hadn't switched to tech writing and editing full-time, I had semi-regular work from an old friend. I got 40% to revise. he was a non-native speaker and was clearly using a translation engine w/o checking it much.

not only did the translations suck ass, but he kept making/missing the same mistakes (like "one doctoral candidate and two doctoral candidates" for "eine Doktorandin und zwei Doktoranden").

friendship over

@Juju oh boy do I feel your pain!

@healyn so you're basically saying "sold"

@healyn only the ones that cross ya

@Taweret I worry about him just standing there asleep in the daytime with that somber museum music playing and prefer to bring him stuff at night when I won't jolt him awake --

i promise not to do this every day but #acnh stills

also noted that for the first time the sun actually touched the outside wall of this nw-facing apt at about 16:00 today, and it's just barely past the equinox. that's seriously so exciting!

cleaned the surfaces of my tiny balcony for my first time since living here (6mo) and probably for the first time in 3 years. it's like a different world out there. going to be precious during this coming housebound period.
