Interestingly, the senior home across the way from me has a whole-property generator (I hear it fire up every Thursday and run for half an hour; it is very loud, no oneplex owner would put up with living next to it). Maybe I just need to hold out until I am 55 and can live there.

The discussion of late about power loss, whether due to shitheads taking out infrastructure or just wild weather, has me a bit concerned that those of us who live in rented housing are going to get left behind. I can't install solar panels or a generator (or air conditioning or replace my gas stove). So what do we do?

I can't afford to buy a oneplex either but my landlord isn't about to add a massive generator. Food for thought.

Not that I planned for signing up for Twitter Blue on my main account but to see what the flow looks like without finishing it, I clicked the "Subscribe" button and was told I couldn't subscribe because my phone number is from an "unsupported carrier".

T-Mobile is unsupported? 🤔

I've noticed an issue where Mastodon doesn't seem to send emails intermittently. My SMTP relay is working and sends on the emails that Mastodon hands it but sometimes Mastodon "forgets" to send one.

Haven't dug too far yet but hopefully this is addressed in the 4.0 update tonight.

I wonder if I should use an announcement or just a regular post to tell local users that social.ridetrans.it will be upgraded to Mastodon 4.0 this weekend?

Related to , I am seeing an increasing number of drivers, app-based taxi services especially but also individuals, using the bus-only lanes at Station as their personal drop off zones. My bus had to wait for two drivers to move before we could use the stop.

Well, through the miracle of "lots of people making a bunch of these", I have imported some custom emoji from towns.gay courtesy of @GAYTOWNS69

You can now be :verifiablebus:, :verifiabletram:, :verifiabletrolleybus:, and other :verifiable entries I'll leave you to discover on your own. :)

Through the relays I added, I've already come across two servers (with names like "sh!tp0st") in them that I've added to this instance's deny list because of massive amounts of Nazi/anti-vax/other-abusive content.

I will be transparent about not federating with certain servers but if you do want to follow someone from an instance that is blocked, reach out to me.
