Good morning. 😴
Remembering yesterday I finally got sign off for a giant project at work.. I need to wake up or it isn't going to happen.

Wow what a busy weekend, I somehow ended up going to the isle of white for dinner 😂
Actually its been a busy week I have missed you

I think I just hiccupped and blocked someone by accident 😂 sorry!

Out for lunch with my girl ❤
Sharing a burger and chips.

Also milkshake 😀

Just found my old coinbase account from when I first tried bitcoin.
Back then in 2013 coinbase gifted me £0.03, I haven't touched it since, it has increased tenfold, now worth £0.36. :astonished:
I should have invested more..

Looks like mstdn.jp temporarily closed registrations and anticipates a loss of data for when they move their instance to the cloud™

So close to getting mastodon.social though.

Good morning mastodon :smiley:
I am super excited for the 4 day weekend :grin:

What am I going to do... I didn't think far ahead.

Yay! Mastodon has just passed 200,000 users across 602 instances.

Just found a birthday present that I had forgotten about, it has been sat in my wardrobe for about 2 months.
After all that it was a single pair of socks! :joy:

*ponders*
I’d love an “Post locally” privacy setting that is only visible to people on this specific instance.

Is anyone else using Firefox on Ubuntu experiencing crashes?

I have refreshed Firefox and reinstalling plugins but it is still bad.
Firefox has crashed 5 times today :angry:

My boss just said we have a budget for new headphones, so I am currently digging through headphone reviews to find the perfect pair.
Currently I have decided on open, over the ear headphones around £100 but there is still a lot to choose from.

Is anyone here an with recommendations?

Good morning mastodon :smiley:
Just 8 more hours until a nice long 4 day weekend :grinning:

This quirk of emoji's is really interesting.
For example with SMS it defaults to a 7-bit character set allowing for up to 160 characters but the second you use an emoji it has to use a 16-bit character set halving the character limit.

If the emojis were stored as text everywhere we could use a smaller character set essentially halving disk usage.

Interesting mastodon :
You can copy paste emoji's out of messages into your own. Doing this means it only counts as one character. This can really help in long messages.

I have done the maths:
😀 = 1 character.
: grinning : = 11 characters.

Yay my girlfriend gifted me Bayonetta on PC 😀
So excited I haven't played it before, currently at 6GB out of 10GB 😀

Server jumps from 1% disk space to 100% in 10 minutes.
The customer has switched on *very* verbose debugging options and only realized kilobytes before breaking the whole site.
To top it off, they had removed the log except Apache still had it open so the disk space was stuck at 100%.

Golly, what a busy morning! It didn't help that I woke up at 8:45 to get to work for 9:00 :dizzy_face:.
I hope this afternoon is quiet, I need to catch up with work before the long easter weekend.
Listening to some Future Funk, just discovered Slime Girls :notes: :grin:

Its hard to say if mastodon has intensified my insomnia, since I am writing this at 00:29 I am going to say it hasn't helped...

It is really cool to see mastodon taking off world wide but I need google translate on call, especially with the speed the federated timeline goes at.
Has anyone integrated the two yet? :thinking:
