GoToSocial finally adds federated #hashtags!

Latest release candidate of @gotosocial finally adds federated #hashtags! This brings the number of missing “must-have” items on my wish list down to just one:

There are a few other things I’d like to have working before switching my primary Fediverse account from @KelsonV to a properly-set-up #GoToSocial #singleUserInstance, but that’s the only big one left.

Follow moving accounts to their new location. (This is another big one.)
Mark account as moved
Polls
Fix Federation with Takahē (not sure how much is on which side at this point). I need to check in on what @activitypubtestsuite has been doing!
Federation with Lemmy (but that’s on Lemmy to implement signed fetches)

One more for the “would be nice” list: Brid.gy compatibility

Oh yeah, filter support would be nice too.

Ugh, flyswatter has gone missing just as a bunch of flies made it into the house. Any suggestions on what might work as a substitute?

Coffee maker started leaking a few days after we descaled it

Coffee maker started leaking a few days after we descaled it. Just a little at first, then more each day. kid opened it up. One of the water hoses has a crack in it surrounded by mineral deposits. As near as we can tell, the minerals were probably blocking the leak. 🤦‍♂️

No luck finding dedicated replacement parts, but we found a 5′ length of high-temperature silicone tubing in the right size. Here’s hoping it arrives soon. And works.

computer trouble, being dealt with, just annoying

1. Had to take the laptop in due to imminent battery failure. Apple apparently designed a laptop that their own techs can’t service, so they had to send it in to swap the battery.

I remember an older model MacBook where I was able to order the replacement battery, have it shipped to my home, and then swap it out using a coin to turn the latch.

2. Had to pull recent stuff off the storage drive in the desktop due to imminent drive failure (thank you SMART warnings!), which is manifesting itself in a drastic collapse of data throughput, which is of course slowing down the process of getting those recent files onto a drive that’s in better shape.

At least I don’t have to run out and buy a replacement drive on a holiday. But it’s still not what I wanted to do with the afternoon.

4 days later

Laptop has been shipped out and back with a new battery, seems to be working fine. 🎉

New HDD should arrive tomorrow, but I’ve got all the data off of the one where SMART was indicating likely failure within 24 hours 😱 and was able to wipe it before it died.

And now my desktop monitor is dying. 🤦‍♂️ Admittedly it’s 12 years old and isn’t even full HD, but FFS, the timing…

Ugh…my home computer clearly needs some hardware help.

Ugh…my home computer clearly needs some hardware help. No Man’s Sky isn’t the only game causing it to shut down under load.

I guess it’s time to figure out whether the power supply needs to be replaced or I just need to blast a couple year’s worth of dust bunnies off of the CPU fan.

Actually it can’t be that long, I replaced the graphics card last summer just before the chip shortage started driving prices sky-high (damn that was lucky timing), and I’m sure I would have cleaned it out at the time.
