I'd have an easier time in tech if I could be more uncritically enthusiastic.

@logan_life For some fun, wait a few months for your memories to dim, then chain-watch Bruce Lee's Enter The Dragon and then Mortal Kombat. Sheds a new perspective on the latter.

@allan Sounds about right. Nothing short of un-profitability will improve that. At least you don't have managers asking why things are so slow like it's news?

@allan It's weird.

@allan Not even an internal Github/Gitlab/Confluence/Wiki or something? Wow.

(I'm a bit worried about your IT staff. Staying cloud-insensible is a great way to find ourselves, as technology staffers, with last decade's skill set in a next-decade market.)

@allan Total *twitch* material. Have you considered having her push these changes to a git repo or update a google/365 doc or something? That way everybody can watch the data set and have no excuse about using stale data.

@smonff You can skip ahead a bit by using FPM (https://github.com/jordansissel/fpm), if I quickly need a package of something that's what I use.

@smonff As long as you package it (in a deb) for posterity, it's a good idea. (And store it away from the current machine, etc. etc.)

@bandie @slp Greylisting is a very distinct message from spam, though. =\ Spammers generally don't resend, so anybody obeying the 451 (or whatever) are likely legit.

@JordiGH @c25l@wandering.shop About politics and economy and current events for a country of over a billion people with thousands of years of history and the resulting context? Nope.

@JordiGH Not sure that's a yes-or-no question. https://promarket.org/glue-holds-communist-capitalism-together-china-cronyism/

@slp It could also be that other VPS customers are or have been sending spam, or it was your IP with a previous tenant, or you're newly sending mail from a previously unknown IP.

At the risk of giving unsolicited advice, maybe try getting your VPS provider to ask? Or checking the public blacklists for your IP? Or using an smtp health check service? Even something as a mild DNS typo could mess you up.

Good luck, mail is increasingly more of a pain for the small server with each passing year.

@logan_life I scroll down a little and the autoscroll stops. Muting the pornbots helps clean the feed a bit. (Not a pro.) The federated timeline is definitely a killer feature.

@logan_life You're not alone. At the end of the process we said "let's never do that again".

@hydro Dunno about cool, but Twidere also does Mastodon. https://f-droid.org/en/packages/org.mariotaku.twidere/

@potatoshoe Your blocklist is yours, block for any reason including no reason.

Is there such a thing as wildcard muting or muting an instance in Mastodon?
