@jeppe@uddannelse.social Jeg gætter på, at det er fordi #redaktører i #dkmedier er dummere end almindelige mennesker. Se bare på hvad de prioriterer her i #agurketiden.

@pwaring Thanks Paul. Interesting. My client, #pachli, seems to be capable of totally ignoring, per request, words in filters, so I hope they will solve this too, one day.

"Quoted post is from an account you blocked." is a thing I see frequently in my timeline. Much more after I blocked some servers. Bound to happen of course.
Is there a way to make the server or my client ignore those boosts silently? Apart from unblocking of course :)
I want to read your boosts, naturally, but those with blocked quotes don't make much sense.

@bott@expressional.social Jeg følger #fv26, #dkpol og #dkmedier her på #masto. Der er meget stille samnenlignet med #twitter i gamle dage. En af grundene kunne være, at jeg har blokeret mastodon.social pga et forbløffende stort antal #antisemitiske toots. Generelt er jeg nok glad for stilheden her. Valgkampe bringer ikke det bedste frem i #dkpol, hverken her eller i #dkmedier. Det er mere informativt at følge #dkpol mellem valgkampene.

@beoz @jamesoff Improved test on #OpenBSD. As expected no worries. Of course my mastodon instance's certificate is expired when viewed from that machine #beyondTheEpoch. While I am at it I will test my live usb kali as well, just to include #linux.

@beoz @jamesoff Not on #OpenBSD. On the #NetBSD laptop it was as if the first date command made it take a deep breath. But I did not record anything. I'll check the log tomorrow.

arosano 🇩🇰 🇮🇱 @arosano@mastodon.bsd.cafe · Jan 24, 2026

Provoked by a toot from @jamesoff@mastodon.jamesoff.net I made the experiments with the #y2k38 time boundary on #OpenBSD (bigger screendump) and #NetBSD as illustrated.
Both survived ;) of course.
NetBSD however seems to accept a date as UTC and then translates it to my local CET. OpenBSD seems to trot happily on in CET.
This means that in 12 years, when I'll be 92 years old, I won't have to worry about any time apocalypse.
I'll sleep as quietly as ever on that night. Nice to know.

James' sticker is fun anyway ;)

@FediTips@social.growyourown.services I blocked mastodon.social a while ago because an awful lot of #antisemitism came from users on that server. Haven't missed it.
