Lots of new people out there... #welcome

Here are my #introductions

I'm a nerd from #YYC (Calgary, Canada) into #FOSS software, #Linux and a bit of #BSD among other things. I host my own email and web including the mastodon instance https://coales.co as a hobby.

I work on #python stuff like #flask, #django and #tryton personally, and professionally in the field of #automation #SCADA .

Also big advocate of #openhardware.

I'm kind of libertarian but closer to Chomsky than Rand.

Hmm...so running `apt update && apt upgrade` and rebooting made phone calls come back again on #mobian

Imma gonna leave it like this for awhile and just *use* my Free/open fondleslab for a change. Maybe think of some app ideas since @thatgeoguy asked before. Maybe a fitness tracker for when I go jogging would be nice...hmm...

I'm back on my #PinePhone BS again this weekend. Tried out a few more OSes and tried installing to internal flash. Wifi, LTE data and SMS Just Work™️ with everything. Ironically voice calls are the trickiest thing to get working on this "phone" 😂

Was beginners' luck having calls work initially without effort I guesd. but I'm still learning and having fun.

Woke up this morning to no internet (sorry to the local users here--was my ISP's fault) and had to further my cellular data to do my work stuff.

Then I had to faff with my USB key to get on the work VPN which didn't want to work like normal

Then I noticed that the nginx reloads weren't working on the servers at work when the certs expired yesterday.

I hate technology today.

My instance is now on 3.2.0 and it seems to be running normally.

Mastodon perfectly named. It is a big heavy hairy beast

The only thing left is to see if that new feature works where it emails you a token if you have 2FA disabled and have logged in after being inactive or from a new location/device...but I can't see why that wouldn't work since I fixed my email after migrating off docker awhile back.

Aiming to upgrade my mastodon instance in the morning (UTC-6 -- heads up my local peeps). Any gotchas people know about?

Fedi status: normal

It is 31C outside.

It is also 31C inside.

It is one of those days where I consider if getting an air conditioner might be a worthy investment.

Do we *really* have to specify that mandatory face masks must be worn on the *face*?

How did I miss this guy? Not only a fairly popular local YouTuber he also recently got the same kind of travel trailer that I have!

Also I think @ink_slinger got one of those trailers at some point too?
