Changing phone number on messaging apps.
#Signal: Confirm your new phone number, done.
#Telegram: Confirm your new phone number, done.
#WhatsApp: Confirm your new phone number. Have 50 new notifications "You were added to this group" for all the groups that I'm part of since the last many years. At least it kept the chat history, I'd have expected it to lose that also, based on other contacts that have changed their number at some point.
Perhaps, after some time I could make a business out of the vineyard, but I'm not sure if they really have enough land for that. I'm thinking about things like having people come to work on the vineyard, try the wine etc. Apparently, people do that just for the experience. Also, could do a bed & breakfast type thing at the house, but the house needs a little work (bathroom, shower...)
Any thoughts anybody?

Right. This should be my instance for a while now - it’s tricky to find your place.
I thought I’d do an #Introduction post, as I’ve now moved server!
I’m Peter (he/him), cis #Gay #Queer #Ace man, #Trans ally.
I work in English Language Teaching as an #Editor, #Writer and #DEI consultant, mainly focusing on #LGBTQIA representation which is woefully lacking. I self-published a resource book called Existence, which I believe is the first and only LGBTQIA+ ELT resource book. I also started @notataboo .

Coming soon to a #Fairphone 5 running @postmarketOS near you!
@z3ntu wow thats crazy
@z3ntu @postmarketOS Well I now know what device I am getting when my old one dies (or gets too old because Android does that and its bootloader cannot be unlocked.)
@z3ntu @postmarketOS already with a fancy instagram-like filter built in! 
@valpackett @postmarketOS Exclusive filter!
There's a lot of petty shit slinging between users of different platforms, each declaring theirs best and others terrible.
Most platforms are extremely diverse and everyone's experience of them is going to differ.
Use whichever social media platforms you feel comfortable with and want to use. If that's fedi software, great! If it's not, that's great too!
You're going to know what suits your needs and tastes best and be able to weigh up what's most important feature-wise for you.
Users being snarky about other platforms are one of the things that will turn people off their networks of choice. It's one of the reasons I haven't bothered investing any time in bluesky, as my first days there was a torrent of shitty barbs about mastodon users.
I've also seen friends put off joining mastodon servers from both bluesky and twitter for the same reasons. It feels hostile and does nothing to encourage people to stay.
@babe this is pettie shit that is pointless.
Is there a fedi myspace alternative yet?
@babe I'm willing to bet that SpaceHey wouldn't be hard to reverse engineer for federated instances
My summer holiday this year was going to Tbilisi, Georgia (mostly) by train!
And I've now finally written a blog post about it with quite some details. It was really an amazing trip that I can highly recommend!
Great read! I'd love to take a train across Europe some time. I'd also like to read more about your time in Georgia if you write about it!
@sam Thanks for the nice response!
I might do another post with a more detailed itinerary of that trip, which trains or buses at which times. But for what I did in especially Tbilisi and Batumi you can also easily find on wikivoyage so there's not much for me to contribute imo.
And even writing this post took quite some hours and as you can see on my blog, I'm not a regular blog writer, more just write something in case it comes up. :)
@sam That also sounds delicious! Definitely have to try the next time I'm in Georgia - though that might be a while 😢
The server can now act as a proxy for all image, audio or video media coming from other account's posts (both from the Web UI and the Mastodon API). This way, other servers will see media requests coming from the server IP, not the user's, improving privacy. This is controlled by setting the proxy_media boolean field to server.json to true.
The strict_public_timelines option introduced in the previous release now works correctly.
Fixed a crash when posting from the links browser.
Fixed some repeated images from Lemmy posts.
Fixed a crash when posting an image from the tooot mobile app.
Updated FreeBSD rc script: the server process is now managed by the daemon(8) utility (contributed by @stefano@bsd.cafe).
RSS feeds are now in 2.0 version instead of 0.91.

GitHub Actions Continuous Integration checks are running (2 of 3 have passed already which is a good sign).
It's up to someone else with commit access to merge it.
Thank you again for your continued improvements (and also, thanks for not releasing on a Friday! The slacker in me is still 8 hours behind up stream, maybe I can blame time zones? ;)

thanks for not releasing on a Friday! The slacker in me is still 8 hours behind up stream😆
I usually release on Thursdays (unless something serious happened), in case someone wants to play with #snac as a weekend project 😉
