I’m in a hotel room where the sink has separate taps for hot and cold water, opposite sides of the basin. How are you supposed to use it?

@Gargron Isn't that normal? It is here...

If you want cold water, you use cold and hot water for hot. You aren't expected to want to mix them...

Ducky Marshall

@Gargron you're supposed to run your hands under the hot tap, curse when the water gets too hot, then quickly put them under the cold tap to ease the pain.

The split taps are because of hot water tanks being potentially dirty water so cold is separate and therefore definitely clean/drinkable.

I don't know a single person here in the UK who LIKES them but they're still the default.

I think it would be amusing if Reddit did implode over this. It'd be entirely self-inflicted... The site is only usable with third party apps.

@Gargron the main Reddit app is simply unusable with all its bloat - literally why I used to use a third party twitter client was the main app having a dump truck of ads and also Reddit but now both of them are gone. Apollo is Reddit for me.

Kyle Judd

@Gargron I get what he’s saying though I can quit Reddit myself if I have to. I use it as well.

I'm really looking forward to the next Mastodon for Android update, which will include a new, more advanced settings screen ☺️

@Gargron I don't like the new Material 3 design of Mastodon app. It doesn't fit together to the theme of Mastodon software. :/

Eugen Rochko

Really not a fan of Discord rolling out a new username system. I thought the old one was neat. Now I see my friends having to put up with modified usernames because someone else grabbed theirs first.

@Gargron even worse for notable folks—their names are just straight up getting sniped despite Discord assuring them they wouldn’t allow that lol

The Shinxposter

@Gargron I saw someone who wanted the username "Nitrosparxx" but he couldn't get it as the word "nitro" is banned from usernames

Ruby Rose Weston

@Gargron also now there's so many more limitations about what you can put in the username it's so lame

@Gargron @briankrebs - I do a lot of domain and IP reputation work and I've yet to see a legit "pw" tld domain.

Which is unfortunate as the Palau people did nothing to deserve this - I think just really lax TLD management.

@Gargron @briankrebs
This is quite a big number! However it seems to be a target of opportunity, as I read it.
“This was three hours non-stop, 200,000 to 400,000 requests per second,” (from the article).

@Gargron @briankrebs

Is there anything in the roadmap for (a) making it so admins can put LIMITS on the amount of invites users can create (there was a github issue for this but it got closed as "not on roadmap" recently, so I'm guessing very not) and (b) keeping track of the chain of invitations, so that if Alice invites Bob who invites ASDF1, ASDF2...ASDF47, each of who invites spambots, all those spambots can be identified as stemming from very probably Bob and possibly Alice as well?

Eugen Rochko

It is tough to leave this behind and go back to reality. And some people live here! I’m sure there are downsides but it sounds pretty good to me right now.

@Gargron

I live in a resort town and there are definitely a lot of problems. It sure is nice while it lasts though.

@Gargron I'm living here in South Asia and the few downsides don't bother me at all, when it looks like this, is always warm and has lots of amazing wild animals 🐘🐒🐆

Life is short. Live it in a place you feel good about.

Last day of the honeymoon. And it’s #caturday! This cute tabby came to the restaurant to beg for food and got some chicken.

Another evening away from everything. Hope everything is going well while I’m on my honeymoon!

@Gargron We are coping, bit slow at the moment, especially yesterday as many used the net a lot Saturday night, but better now.

But we are a bit envious of your perfect honeymoon. I have to admit that.
Welcome back!

Eugen Rochko

First day of the honeymoon! Still adjusting to not checking work channels, definitely feeling some withdrawals. It was raining all day, but we still went out. The area is beautiful and the air fresh.

@Gargron muchas felicidades! en los días de luna de miel no hay nada como que llueva... así no podrán salir del cuarto ;) diviértanse!!

congratulations! In the days of honeymoon there is nothing like it rains ... so they will not be able to leave the room;) Have fun !!

@Gargron Eugen, congrats! Say, can you find a way to auto migrate folks to another server, us old folks would appreciate it.

I don't think the #eurovision tag has been this alive here before 🙂

Rough estimate 24K posts on the different #eurovision tags so far today.

brot

@gargron nice to see mastodon performing well during such events. Following the hashtag produced a steady stream of funny content.

DELETED

@Gargron Do you know if it's possible to block/mute hashtags containing words such as "eurovision"?

Before I leave for my honeymoon I wanted to share what we've been up to at #Mastodon. Here's a new Patreon update!

@Gargron You definitely put a dent in the universe.

@Gargron Enjoy your Honeymoon.
We did Turks and Caicos for ours back in March.
Enjoy.
Relax.
Play.
Recharge.

@Gargron @anildash Amazing work, and I hope you truly enjoy your honeymoon. 🙂

Other admins should be aware the latest suspension status of a remote account may not be reflected on their side, as it's currently only sent to followers of said account. That's something we're aware of and improving in Mastodon.

@Gargron This is something that those on #mastoadmin should know about, regarding suspension status of remote accounts.

Dr. Jorge Caballero

@Gargron quick follow-up: would de novo webfinger resolution return the correct status?

@Gargron Love your work. Have boosted this for you.

Just had another small spam wave. All banned, reports cleared.

@Gargron

Are you making any changes to your registration process to prevent the creation of spam accounts? We have had to limit mastodon.social twice as well as handling reports of spam. We don't want to limit Mastodon.social as a rule, but it is creating a moderation burden.

Eugen Rochko

Finally going on our honeymoon next week 🙂

Can’t sleep because I’m thinking about work, can’t work because I need sleep.

@Gargron can mildly recommend white noise from like ran or something, and replying to any thought you have with "no thoughts, sleep" (those both work for me at times)

@Gargron if you're thinking about work you're doing work. :)

@Gargron the worst feeling ever, really frustrating

Nothing more humbling than watching a user test of a UI you've designed.

@Gargron I’ve seen developers repeat to fellow developers behind their one-way mirror, “How did we manage to select the *dumbest* users to test this?”

Only once — they only repeat it once, because the THIRD time in a row that it happens, they start to get very quiet.

@Gargron Me: (proud of how clear and intuitive I've made the UI to the really complex action X, despite not being a UI designer)

User: (clicks around for a minute) Um, so... How do I do X? I can't find it anywhere.

Me: Truly, I am not a UI designer!
