Work with #freeradius. Like fixing things. Dislike waste. Piles of stuff everywhere. Never finish anything. Probably didn't start either. #adhd

@quazarsamcoupe@mastodonapp.uk OK! I suspected as much, but worth checking.

@quazarsamcoupe@mastodonapp.uk Not one of these? Though this is dated 1984 so probably too old. I believe it was used in a school in East Anglia.

@etchedpixels@mastodon.social @neil@mastodon.neilzone.co.uk both blink and marquee... I imagine my eyesight would be good now if they hadn't taken 25 years to ban them!

@neil@mastodon.neilzone.co.uk they want to ban web sites from the late 1990s?!

Just finished something I started 22 years ago. And tidied all the tools away at the end.

I should be happy, but it's been so long it didn't even register on the to-do list any more! 😭

@jpmens@mastodon.social still use it for mocking up customer environments and internal IT for dev/test. But slowly starting to use Terraform and I suspect that will eventually take over. A lot because Terraform can talk to Proxmox and Vagrant can't, even though Vagrant is better in some ways.

@krzysdz@mastodon.online @staff@mastodon.social Ah awesome; that was well hidden. 'Account preferences' seemed to be all about the Mastodon account, not the Tusky config. Thanks!

@staff@mastodon.social appreciated, thanks - gives a reasonable explanation to what changed! (There's no 'Trending' in Tusky that I'm aware of, so that was the only way to browse random stuff.)

@staff@mastodon.social Is this what would have broke the 'Local' page on Tusky? It stopped showing anything a few weeks ago, but I couldn't find any announcements with them or on mastodon.online's site to indicate anything that had changed, and no settings I could find could get it working again.

@simrob @Jerry If it helps, I can say it's correct, too, but you don't know who I am either. The second TXT record needs to be on the "_dmarc" record though, not the top level. Without reading the RFCs, you can verify with generator sites, e.g. search for "spf generator" (top for me comes up as the one on mxtoolbox.com, any should do). Put in your domain and then say "No" to all the answers, and leave the mail servers blank and say it sould be "strict". It'll come up with the same records.
