Big fan of pluralist multiculturalism, transnationalism, and rolling-your-own tech.
A little story for the Canadians and Canadian-friendly Americans:
I called up my buddy Joe. You know, Joe in Ontario? Anyway, I said "Hi, Joe" and he says "hey buddy, I'm busy." I get a little excited because Joe gets weird ideas on account of dropping his mitts a few too many times.
"Givener?" I ask.
"Fuken-rights givener," he replies.
"Why?" I inquire.
"Tariffs", Joe replies.
I smell hijinks, so I've gotta ask: "Joe... what are you doin?"
He sighs.
@siegeavecvue@rail.chat IMO fediverse integrations are kinda interesting but conecwith a cost which I can't say I've found a benefit to offset.
Yes, people can subscribe to it, get notified of posts, and reply. But the traffic cost is serious. Go minor viral and the Boosts alone feel like a DDOS.
Lemme know if you find a winning use-case.
@siegeavecvue@rail.chat I've been running WP and other things on Digital Ocean VMs for years. They're about $5/mo at the low end.
@diffrentcolours@tech.lgbt ClassicPress + MariaDB. ClassicPress is a fork before all the Gutenberg/Blocks silliness and ActivityPub group of plugins work as advertised. (Also makes themes easier.)
You sound like you can handle the YAML but ask if you want help.
@siegeavecvue@rail.chat What's the problem you're trying to solve?
@thomas189@mas.to *nod* yes, this is good. You are in the right place.
If you're an artist, artisan, craftsman, or maker who sometimes exports to the EU and does not yet have a solution for the EU's #GSPR regulation coming into effect on December 13, would you please tell me what you sell?
I'm working on a service for those who can't justify €1200/yr.

@evacide@hachyderm.io @hacks4pancakes@infosec.exchange I'm looking for a Digital Rights group in Armenia to participate in an international USAID project. Any suggestions?
@Judeet99@mastodon.world @IanDSmith@mastodonapp.uk @gerrymcgovern@mastodon.green *nods* Paleo-Maoism is the only true ideology.
@_elena@mastodon.social @pfefferle@mastodon.social Oops! That's my goof.
I checked before I posted but didn't find what is clearly there. 🫣
