cybervegan<p>Been busy this evening, with a chain-reaction of events.</p><p>I got my <a href="https://autistics.life/tags/3DPrinter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>3DPrinter</span></a> working again - nozzle was blocked, and I couldn't get it unblocked, so I ordered some replacement ones, which arrived nearly a week ago. For multiple reasons, I haven't had the opportunity and/or energy to fit it, until tonight. Got a great test print run off, first try with the new nozzle, so tomorrow I'll be able to set off the ~15 hour print I was trying to do when it blocked.</p><p>Also been thinking about a re-spin of the <a href="https://autistics.life/tags/MakerSpace" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MakerSpace</span></a> concept that hopefully won't be so fkn horrible to run. I've been ruminating on this for the last couple of years - especially since I rage-quit running my local makerspace in the summer of 2023, when I had an <a href="https://autistics.life/tags/AutisticMeltdown" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AutisticMeltdown</span></a> due to having to leave our premises because the landlord was a rogue. Tonight I was able to actually get some good ideas down, some basic principles: virtual; non-hierarchical; no committee/board; distributed inventory; premise-less; nomadic - meeting in various venues around the area; organised online (pref using something federated); self-organising; plus a bunch of other things.</p><p>As a result of *that*, I ended up looking at <a href="https://autistics.life/tags/ActivityPub" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ActivityPub</span></a> based applications, looking for things that might help with the "virtual makerspace" idea. Found three that I feel I need to check out: Hubzilla, Mobilizon, and NodeBB.</p><p>Looking at those three, NodeBB stuck out as it actually mentions FreeBSD as a supported platform, so *that* made me update my <a href="https://autistics.life/tags/FreeBSD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FreeBSD</span></a>-based mini-NAS, so I could test it. So I've just got it back up to scratch, because it WAS running FreeBSD 14.1-RELEASE-p5 GENERIC, but after running freebsd-update, I found it's now no longer supported. While I've been typing this, it's just finished installing 14.2-RELEASE-p3.</p><p>Oh, and also been talking with my wife about how her <a href="https://autistics.life/tags/AutismAssessment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AutismAssessment</span></a> went this evening.</p><p>And posting about British Chips and Mushy Peas.</p>

etnmarchand<p>I apologize if you keep seeing new follow notifications from me. I'm still exploring lots of platforms for both ActivityPub (Mastodon, Pixelfed, etc) and BlueSky. Some let me use my already existing credentials and some do not. I'm trying to keep my follow lists mostly the same on all of them right now - thus the multiple follows.</p> <p>For my longtime friends following along and still trying to figure out Social Media 2.0:</p> <p>I'm pretty happy with two so far. Friendica and Wafrn. They BOTH handle Mastodon AND Bluesky. Neither have the 300 / 500 character limits. Friendica is the most Facebook-like so far and Wafrn is a lot like old Tumblr.</p> <p>Friendica is probably not yet ready for "prime time". It can be slow at times and prone to timeouts when loading pages. (I mean Facebook can do that too sometimes). But for me, it most closely fills the Facebook void. It is what is always up on my computer and most of the posts you've read from me on bluesky have been made from it for the last couple months.</p> <p>Wafrn is fun and silly much like old Tumblr (I've been on Tumblr since the early days). I'd recommend it to any of my friends that have not yet set up a Bluesky account. You can turn on Bluesky in the settings which gives you a "new" Bluesky using the Wafrn domain. The default is ActivityPub (Mastodon). It is fast. The interface is simple and things are mostly as you expect. You don't really have any control over the feed settings - I think it is set to "Recent Activity". I'd eventually like some basic controls over the feed. I prefer "Recent Posts" to "Recent Activity". But that is not a deal breaker for me. It has gained my eyeballs the second-most. Usually have it open in a tab alongside Friendica.</p><br> <a class="hashtag" href="https://app.wafrn.net/dashboard/search/WAFRN" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WAFRN</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://app.wafrn.net/dashboard/search/Friendica" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Friendica</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://app.wafrn.net/dashboard/search/Bluesky" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Bluesky</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://app.wafrn.net/dashboard/search/ActivityPub" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ActivityPub</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://app.wafrn.net/dashboard/search/Friends" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Friends</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://app.wafrn.net/dashboard/search/PersonalMusings" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PersonalMusings</a>
