We haven’t had a real TiVo in our home for years, but we still call fast forwarding through commercials “ba-doop ba-dooping.”

I’m drinking a cocktail out of a ridiculous looking tiki cup by a pool on the roof of a building in Downtown Los Angeles. Yup. This works for me. 🗿🔥🍹

Wearing my New Zealand All Blacks rugby jersey today. Kiwis are some of the friendliest, most optimistic, and joyful people I’ve had the pleasure of knowing. I mourn with them today! All should be free to worship without fear. 🙏❤️🥝☪️

This was a great primer episode for sous vide beginners! I’ve been cooking sous vide for ages, and I still learned an amazing new soft poached egg technique. Worth a watch.

@cleverdevil new to micro.blog...trying to find my way around so im not sure if there is a direct way to message you? Using the microgram script in my "photos" page it only pulls one picture out of a post (usually the last picture) if I include several pics in a post. Am I doing something wrong...im not tech savy enough to file a bug in github where I got it from. If you have time could you help explain.
, Mar 03 2019 on micro.blog
@Chrisleeladd hello, Chris, and welcome to Micro.blog! You’re going to enjoy it here 😀 So, the “only one photo per post” thing is a current limitation of the photos feed in Micro.blog that microgram uses to generate your photos page. I’ve discussed this limitation with @Manton before and he is aware of it. I think he’d eventually like to make it handle all photos.
, Mar 03 2019 on micro.blog
@cleverdevil ahh I see. Makes sense. I’m loving the platform. I jumped ship on social media a long time ago and was really happy when I found this. I’m looking forward to using it more and getting a better understanding of how it works. Thanks for the reply.
, Mar 03 2019 on micro.blog
@cleverdevil One last question...because I’m a new born baby when it comes to some of this stuff. If you update or fix one of your scripts such as microgram...does that mean I have to delete what I have (the code pasted into my photos page) and re-copy and paste a new code? Or does the update self correct kind of like an app? I’m sorry for the dumb questions. Ive just left main stream social media and I’ve just discovered the Indy web. Trying to learn fast and catch up.
, Mar 04 2019 on micro.blog
@Chrisleeladd with both microgram and micromemories, you will automatically get improvements without any changes on your end, generally speaking. That said, I may eventually add features that could require that users make updates, but I won’t ever make breaking changes if I can avoid it 😀
, Mar 05 2019 on micro.blog
@cleverdevil thanks for the clarity. Im just trying to understand how all this works. ha! Looking at your github page was the first time I've ever seen anything like that. It's fun to learn though. I think once I understand the mechanics of how it all works in principal I will be able to teach and learn more. Ive been listening to the Monday.micro.blog podcast over the last couple of days to get up to speed when I can. I also found the TIL page and a couple of other help pages. It would be nice if the platform has more of a walk through in it to onboard people like me!
, Mar 05 2019 on micro.blog
@Chrisleeladd no problem! If you're intersted in learning more about the broader Indieweb, I also highly recommend joining IndieWeb chat.
, Mar 05 2019 on micro.blog
@cleverdevil great! Another good resource for me to look into. Thanks!
, Mar 05 2019 on micro.blog
@Chrisleeladd The need for more/better walkthroughs and other onboarding here has come up several times, and we make small steps each time, but agreed there is still lots more that could/should be done.
The help is really helpful, and it’s now actually organized in a way that can be used to help you discover more about the platform. And we’ve got some stuff in the wiki, too, although it’s more “I know about X now and want to learn more/find more tools around it.”
, Mar 05 2019 on micro.blog
@smokey I think it’s good for the platform to present the tools and resources needed for people at any tech level to jump in and use the product. However, having said that.... I also think every user should take some personal responsibility and be a “learner”. I have enjoyed the process which to me is quite a process but to others already on the platform it may be more second nature or even a simplified second nature.
I did struggle to find some of the resources though... I found the help page easily but it took me some time to find the Monday micro cast and the TIL page. Those have been incredibly helpful! I look forward to growing with the ever growing platform. I think this is the coolest thing in the world.
Also just to give a little context about me. I just learned how to use markdown two months ago. That was an interesting Saturday!! Ha!

@Chrisleeladd

This is a very good point (and one I agree with fully); sadly, it seems like many people today aren’t willing to do that when they run into something unfamiliar.
I just learned how to use markdown two months ago. That was an interesting Saturday!! Ha!
I had for years successfully avoided learning Markdown just as I had successfully avoided learning Textile for years before that (I had learned BBCode and MediaWiki syntax so it wasn’t an opposition to learning a pseudo-HTML markup syntax, just something I never encountered enough to need to learn), but Micro.blog finally ended that!
At any rate, welcome, and when you do have questions, just shout and people will be happy to help (and to listen to suggestions, too) 👍

@benwerd Two thoughts: 1. Micro dot blog is a great, IndieWeb-friendly platform that is accessible to consumers. Not fully there yet, but a good model. 2. I like the idea of something like serverpilot.io, which separates the underlying infrastructure from the management.

So happy to have fixed the family iMac. After some research, I think I’m going to dive in and replace the hard drive with an SSD to extend the life of this machine a few more years. It’s a shame that I’m stuck on High Sierra, though.

That’s something I’ve thought about doing with a 2012 Mac Mini I have, but the fact that it’s also stuck on High Sierra makes me wonder if it’s worth it. 🤔

@EddieHinkle I saw a video yesterday that may help you upgrade it to Mojave. Unfortunately, my iMac isn’t supported due to the video card :/

I have restored the family 2011 iMac to service, running macOS High Sierra, the last supported version of macOS on this hardware. Hopefully this holds us for a few more years. I am considering replacing the internal drive with an SSD, though...

My daughter Colette has been in nearly a dozen musical productions over the last two years, and has been working so hard to improve. Today, she was given the part she was angling for in her next production, and is absolutely over the moon. So am I! Very proud daddy 😀

Okay, I have a plan with this iMac... it appears to be hanging while loading kernel extensions. I'm gonna boot into recovery mode, mount the drive read/write, blast all of them from /Library/Extensions *and* /System/Library/Extensions, and then re-install macOS. Wish me luck 😃

If I can’t get the iMac to recover, thinking I’ll just run Plex Media Server on the Synology. It’s not a powerful NAS and won’t support transcoding. Hopefully it’ll be good enough for home usage. I have a powerful cloud server mirror that I can use if I need transcoding.
Also on: @cleverdevil cleverdevil@mastodon.social
The ancient family iMac is on the fritz and I am unsure if it'll recover. The good news is that I've now moved my homebridge server over to my Synology NAS, so that's working again. Sadly, the iMac was my home Plex Media Server. Still not sure what to do about that...

@cleverdevil Hope you have copies of the media on the Plex. It’s just a thing, but I still mourn over lost computers. Never heard the “on the Fritz” before, so I looked it up on urban dictionary, and found several explanations for the origin, but I still wonder the true meaning of this.
, Feb 24 2019 on micro.blog
@odd thankfully all 10TB of the media is on my Synology NAS, synced up to Backblaze, and to Google Drive. Triple backups 😀 I’m still hoping I can rescue this iMac!
, Feb 24 2019 on micro.blog
@cleverdevil Hope you’ll get it running again! Multiple backups seem unnecessary - until they don’t. 😌🤞

@cleverdevil synology can run your plex media server too
, Feb 25 2019 on micro.blog
@oyam yes, but poorly. It’s woefully underpowered and won’t do any transcoding. That said, I’ve already got a second Plex Media Server running on it as a backup now 😉
