@tomcoates I don’t know. It’s just been quietly chugging along behind the scenes for years now. I’ll take a look tomorrow and see what’s wrong.

So, Twitter appears to have killed third-party apps. That's it for me, I'm done. I might check in from time to time to read @fesshole, but that's it. @robmanuel please migrate to Mastodon.

Clearing up the kitchen at the end of Christmas Day to @tracey_thorn’s Tinsel and Lights which is keeping me going after a long day.

If you're thinking this isn't a good place to be anymore and you're looking to move, I've set up my own server in the other place. I intend to keep it small and limit it to people I know, either online or in real life - you can find a link in my bio, or DM me for more info.

@seldonscott @gregfallis But Friday I’m in love.

[David Wilkinson @dopiaza]

@SamanthaMalin Overnight at least. If you have a pressure cooker though, you can cook without soaking very quickly. Depends on type and age of bean, but around 30 mins.

[David Wilkinson @dopiaza]

@fesshole I’d love to know how you got to casually drop “glyph” in there.

[David Wilkinson @dopiaza]

@tomcoates OK. You made me do it.

[David Wilkinson @dopiaza]

@tomcoates @yoyoel I might have to succumb. I’m seeing that too often at the moment.

@tomcoates @yoyoel “You’ve reached your limit of free articles.” :-(

I've seen a lot of people asking "why does everyone think Twitter is doomed?"

As an SRE and sysadmin with 10+ years of industry experience, I wanted to write up a few scenarios that are real threats to the integrity of the bird site over the coming weeks.

[David Wilkinson @dopiaza]

@SamanthaMalin Just use SamanthaMalin. Your address will then be @[email protected]

@gregfallis Migration is easy. There are instructions here: https://t.co/ueuY4V1UyV - to take followers with you, you want ‘move’ not ‘redirect’. The “very heavy cooldown period” it refers to is 30 days.

[David Wilkinson @dopiaza]

I have my own Mastodon instance up and running and now I think I've got the hang of things, I'm opening it up to people I know - the idea is to keep it small and cosy. If we know each other, and you're looking for a home in the Mastodon world, check it out https://t.co/xkwdODUJ03

This is a good thread. Well worth reading.

[Tom Coates @tomcoates]

That’s a lovely fantasy to have but let’s just investigate it for a second. (1) Twitter has a fairly unusual set of engineering needs in a bunch of areas - and a bunch of necessary institutional knowledge that is just walking out the door.

@jayforeman Voldemort (he/she who cannot be named)

[David Wilkinson @dopiaza]

@SamanthaMalin Nope. I’ve never seen it. I’m aware that it exists, but never watched.

[David Wilkinson @dopiaza]

@SarahChampion I’m so sorry. It’s hard losing a long-time companion.

[David Wilkinson @dopiaza]

I’m not abandoning this place just yet, but you can now find me on Mastodon at @[email protected]
