Gregory's Server
This morning, I was accepted to participate in the Twitter Ads program, and they're going to finally allow me to promote a tweet that I originally requested to promote... 6 years ago!

Folks who have stuff: How do you keep dust off your stuff? Are you constantly dusting? I know this sounds like a joke, but Iβd really like to know how to keep dust from accumulating with minimal effort.

@ramsey For a small advantage against dust accumulation, we bought bookshelves with glass doors. My glassware is also in a cabinet with doors. This helps keep most of the dust out of those areas, at least. I treasure the dust on my cellar bottles. Embrace it sometimes? (-:  @ramsey I have central air with decent filters, which already helps a lot. But other than that, my vacuum robot does it's rounds on a daily basis and I wipe everything weekly. That's it, that's all I do and that's good enough for me and my cat. The bird app is now showing me notifications from everyone Iβve blocked. This is great. Nothing will destroy Open Source quicker than treating all the devs who work on open source software as suppliers in a supply chain. If you have strategies for searching a database for partial #UUID matches (especially if storing UUIDs as 16-byte binary strings), please check out this question and see if you're able to provide some pointers: Thanks! One of the best decisions past me made was to start the phpc.social Mastodon instance. Welcome, newcomers! #PHP Is there a way to configure #rector so that it only makes necessary changes to upgrade the code? I don't need or want it to convert all the properties to constructor-promoted properties, for example. I only want to ensure the code will not emit errors, warnings, or deprecation notices. We re-opened signups on https://phpc.social. Theyβre still moderated. Hint: tell us more than βleaving Twitterβ or βcuriousβ or βtrying it out.β Weβre building a community and want to know why youβre joining. βStay informedβ is also not a good answer. Why do you want to join *our* community? Thatβs the question. Is there a way to customize the "Why do you want to join?" text input question? I doubt there's a way because of all the translation strings it would require, but I would love to turn it into a custom question or add more details to let users know what we're looking for.  @ramsey P.S. I didn't really check if the option is present because I'm on the phone right now, but I'm not too optimistic about finding it. Is timbl on the Fediverse yet? βWeb inventor Tim Berners-Lee: Screw Web3 β my decentralized internet doesnβt need blockchainβ Also, @molly0xfff, have you seen this? /cc @web3isgreat I took the leap and dropped support for 32-bit PHP (requires a 64-bit build of PHP), and I bumped the minimum required PHP version to 8.2. Wooooo! I love how folks can move Mastodon instances and take their followers with them. *waves to everyone moving from mastodon.technology, who Iβm instantly following because of the smooth account moving process* @ramsey And that's quite sad because many Fediverse instances doesn't have a lot of money to cover the costs and/or doesn't have protection from bus factor. Given the recent news of mastodon.technology shutting down, if you like the PHP programming language, consider moving your account over to https://phpc.social. Someone from mastodon.online reported an account on this instance as "very obscene," but the report is in Chinese, and the reported posts are also in Chinese. When I run them through a translator, I can't figure out what's obscene, and I have no way of communicating with the reporter for more details. I've never had to deal with a report like this before. How do other server admins handle these? I'm curious what you think about this @Gargron@mastodon.online @ashfurrow @Gargron@mastodon.social @stux @kev @ramsey It doesn't allow us to make a large international server, but it allows us to process everything in a timely manner and stay connected with our users. This is not an universal rule every server can use. I'm very excited to be able to share this with the rest of the world. Back in May, #Skillshare announced international support, starting with Spanish, Portuguese, French, and German. I worked on this library to support those efforts, and I hope others find it useful. FormatPHP is a PHP library & CLI tool to help with internationalization & localization.  @Gargron How often does a Mastodon instance check for link verification of a profile? I've just added the proper "me" rel link, and I'm curious when Mastodon will show the link as being verified.  12

@ramsey the promoting a tweet thing is utter BS. I actually paid for one to be promoted and it didn't get any more views than it would have if I hadn't promoted it. I think that is a case where their new views button worked against them.
@ramsey congratulations !
@ramsey
Hooray ππ
