SUNUVA......... :(
Forgot that during the internet outage I reset my router. Had to re-enable DMZ to let the Pi connect :(
Try again, I think it's all good now - thanks guys-n-gals!
Can anyone reach my Pleroma instance?
So why, exactly, does the Mastodon web UI now sport a Toot button that just says 'OOT!' ??? What did I miss?

when I first ran D&D, my grandmother, who had bought fully into the IT'S SATANISM hype, insisted on sitting and watching the first session
about an hour in, she threw her hands up and yelled 'THIS IS JUST MATH' and stormed off
OOT!???
@kaniini so hey - how do I force Pleroma to update? I was offline a couple of days, now it won't pull in any new status' - seems to be stuck. I've restarted pleroma and nginx services a few times to no avail. :(
Morning walks next to this view never gets old

So we're watching this crazy Australian comedy 'Sisters'
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sisters_(Australian_TV_series)
At the end of each episode they have this very brief music piece, electric piano, old school. My brain recognized it. But it's not exactly the version I was familiar with. So I thought either it was a weird acoustic version of the song, or the song I knew had sampled it. A quick Google took me right to it.
The original is this interesting song. From 1975, Labi Siffre's "I Got The..." - fast forward to around 2:30 to hear the exact piece of music used on this TV show.

Sound familiar? Yep, it's pretty much the whole beat to this tune you and several hundred million people may have heard before.

Yes, I'm 57. Yes, I am that familiar with an Eminem tune. Don't @ me...

so when did Mastodon turn off the ability for an individual to *block* an instance? (vs. just hiding it)

To use your mobile device with your #Pleroma running on your Raspberry Pi inside your home network...
1 - install Privoxy on Pi
2 - add a listenaddress entry in /etc/privoxy/config for your.pi.ip:8118
2 - add entry for your #Pleroma instance domain name into the /etc/hosts file on your Pi
"your.pi.ip example.com"
3 - Point your mobile device's wifi http proxy setting to your Pi's IP address, using port 8118
Now you can use your favorite mobile app w/ your own self-hosted #Pleroma instance over your home WiFi without burning up your mobile data plan megabytes...and when you are out and about on 4g, or if you are somewhere else using WiFi, it will just work like normal.

Damn. If I'd known I was about to hit 1K toots, I'd have tooted much more profoundly!
did my instance unfederate or go offline overnight? timeline has big gap from 8 hours ago to 24 minutes ago. I follow 87 folks, normally not that quiet...
