@Caelyn No, you actually aren't. REALLY vivid dream. Try again.

@natecull That WAS the Walled City. And I need to also. Especially given the handle I use.

@natecull What was the inverted killfile again? From Idoru?

@Samizdata @mike Not sure if the Federation is Night City or Walled City or footage:fetish:forum or The Chinese Server but either way it is very Gibsonian

Well, as much fun as I have had with all you lovely Mastodonians, I need to bail.

@Elizafox and @sungo You two hang tough and I am sure I will be background processing about you all today.

@Elizafox @sungo Said admin buddy also has AWS horror stories.

@sungo @Elizafox Yeah, I know that one. Luckily a few of the exs and I are still friends.

@TheAdmin What's the policy on inactive accounts on this instance?

I assume after the recent surge of newcomers some will stop using it possibly taking up usernames people would like to have themselves.

@sungo @Elizafox Mad props on automating workflows. I try my best to do the same.

@sungo @Elizafox These are also the people that need to die in a fire, you meant. And, generally, software defined anything at the system level makes me shudder.

@Elizafox That's why we have coders AND admins. I am an out of date admin, and a miserable coder. I gave up on coding when I discovered admin work.

@Elizafox @sungo Mine was script opiates. I refuse to have them in the house any more, despite some of the positives, just to keep out of the way of temptation.

@guretsugu @huff I was so lucky when I came out as Bi. My family's response was luckily something along the lines of "And?"

@guretsugu I am too ADD for podcasts. I always look for transcripts I can consume at my own pace.

@MPL But I didn't thought instances were basically point to point communications, based on Atom feeds. So that evades the proxy issue.

@ardgedee I guess I never felt that the way I do here.

@Elizafox @sungo I coldbloodedly planned my OD attempt for two months before I did it, and NO ONE had a clue. My stepmother asked me when I woke up in ICU if I thought i had had a stroke.
