As an American, I'm honestly excited to see how it will turn out. Hope it's not a catastrophe, but at least there'll be something to learn no matter what happens.

I've had this issue before. My limited understanding is that your home server fetches copies of communities somebody on your server is subbed to. But if you're the first person, it can take it a few hours to federate (took mine a day.)

I'm actually looking forward to these changes. I've been playing league for a long time, and this seems like a return to a form of the game I have some nostalgia for.

I understand those concerns, but I'm not sure if this really improved the security of mastodon, an inherently very insecure software, and it definitely deprived us of a useful tool. Defederation works at stopping spam, but I don't think it really helps much when it comes to preventing people from seeing things you post. It stops a single server, but bad actors can just migrate to a new one, or spin up a new hostname.

I hated the backlash the bridgy dev received. His project was genuinely useful, helped to solve one of people's most common criticisms of the fediverse. And after he was browbeat into giving it up, everything still got hoovered up by bots and fed into AI models anyway.

I'm pleased by the Senna changes. Good to see her more supportive.

I think Debian unstable works great on laptops, and it's hard to beat for stability.

I know it isn't really the point, but your setup is so visually pleasant. Very aesthetic.

I'm excited about the support changes. The upgrade system seems cool.

The books Walkaway (Cory Doctorow) and Accelerando (Charles Stross) both give me nostalgia for a time when the future seemed like an exciting challenge instead of an unbearable one.

This might be a stupid question, but I'm only so-so at wireguard. Do you experience that kind of loss using WG at home, on wifi, between your phone and server?

I think they want that for the communities tab. In other words, not to see posts sorted by active, but communities sorted by average monthly users or something. Not sure how to do it though.
