Kicking the tires on a private Mastodon instance. If the point is federation then... let's federate?
@infovore noticed you talking about Dokku on twitter. Where do you host your VPS?
I'm getting a lot of mileage out of Dokku but every now and again my host forces a VPS reboot and then that's _every_ site offline for a spell...
No 👏 production 👏 bugfix 👏 without 👏 writing 👏 a failing 👏 test 👏!
Every tweet is an attempt to have the last word.
A week in rural Scotland reminds me how much I use the Internet

Twitter down? Federated networks FTW.
How many missing tests is a "LGTM 👍" worth?
You're reviewing the first PR from a new developer, and it's not going great, but then you realise all of the weird decisions are copied wholesale from some code written by the senior developer...

New here? Remember that Twitter is optimized to make you into passive consumers, by en(r/g)aging you with content that you don't choose yourself.
Here, that doesn't happen. But it also means you're responsible to find people to follow.
It will take some work.
If you're willing to put that in, you'll find a wide variety of friendly people that will be happy to have meaningful conversions and laugh and cry together with you.
Start by searching and looking at who other people follow.
My social media strategy is, basically: typing a joke out on Slack, or Twitter, laughing quietly to myself, then deleting it without posting it.
(Except this one).
Ah, the wonderful dance of recompiling everything that depended on an earlier version of `readline` because running `brew install <anything>` updated it and removed the older version...

Another year, another surprise when I get the "Your Flickr Pro renewal" email.
2,000,000 before the day is done? Seems certain.
Whether or not we ultimately leave or remain, we shouldn't be held hostage to this countdown by a failing government.

Parliament's job is not to enable a minority extremist agenda. If the PM won't change course, the only sensible thing they CAN do is to stop the clock by revoking Article 50.
