@geerlingguy there’s some sort of AT&T routing issue going on in the midwest region. seems to be impacting only some sites.

@geerlingguy Isn't it great the way we've got this source control system that allows for multiple remotes, mirrors, backups, etc., and almost everyone uses it on the same centralised servers? 😅

@geerlingguy yup. AT&T in Kalamazoo, same issue.

@geerlingguy
Yes, it's quite fun (and sad) that we shouldn't be needing physical media for a long time anymore, but it's still the ONLY way to own content in most cases.

@geerlingguy this is fun ! :)

@geerlingguy I kind of hope I'm still alive for this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Year_2038_problem

@geerlingguy love this! I have a growing pile of usbc cables... I even have one that delivers power only.

@geerlingguy I have a more basic variant of such a tool that has helped me getting rid of some power only cables.

Yours looks more fun though ^^

That's fucked... Got a link?

Centralization would solve it... but then that's kind of antithetical to the whole fediverse.

Also I remember there's a Mac client for Mastodon now (Ivory for Mac), need to try it out.

@geerlingguy To be honest though, the sheer fact you can do it at all is kind of amazing all in itself.

@geerlingguy
This could probably be solved by Fediverse/ActivityPub URL schema. Then your instance could register itself as a web handler.
