This a more personal alt. If you see stuff here no you didn’t.

Interactions on my posts turned off except for follows & followers, am actively blocking follows that aren’t people (eg companies)

Phew. Just getting back from 3 weeks supporting a sick family member in London ON.

"Catching up" but of course, just in time for holiday downtime. But feeling a lot of pressure with things on my plate.

Going to do some food posts and try and stay chill and recharge.

But no matter how you slice it, it's bad that Jay's name is on this list of CEOs, all the rest of whom have kissed the ring the US.

Weather is getting slightly cooler. I have an event tonight so I decided to wear my triple skull jacket.

This is not the moderation you’re looking for.

So if you start your day with calls at 7am (PST timezone curse!), it turns out that ending your day at 5pm makes for 10 hour days.

Going to need to figure out how to dial it back a bit.

Nobody blow my cover on this alt even if it starts posting bangers. Absolutely need to turn this into one of the first private accounts.

In case you were wondering, I absolutely can’t drink a coffee and ride a scooter.

I’m expected to figure out coffee maker instructions BEFORE coffee???

(it was fine and this fresh grind / re-usable pod thing was pretty good)

I am actually feeling a lot better and slept all day but I have to get some more fluids and eat something.

It’s been a great week in NYC but now I’m holed up in my hotel room drinking ginger ale & feeling sick.

The food at Nutmeg Street Kitchen in Bristol was really good last night https://www.nutmegstreetkitchen.com/

But I only took a picture of this Electric Bear Brewing Tondo “Dank & Hazy” Pale Ale (which was tasty)

Today has been stressful. I was supposed to fly out to Barcelona for a team retreat.

Turns out, errors with online checkin were from having a passport that expires in less than 3 months, which means you can’t get into Europe.

So back home, scramble for emergency passport renewal.

Have you ever eaten something and thought to yourself “there’s a 50% chance this is going to give me food poisoning”?

Now that the newest PDS update is applied, there is an /account page for managing sessions and OAuth connected apps.

Should I move protocol posting to my alt?

It’s getting to the point where people building Bluesky-related directory sites clog the ATProto feed with replies and posts.

We get it, you discovered the cool new app the same time as all of us.

Why do you need to tell us about the page you made for it on your website?

I have several accounts on my self hosted PDS.

But I keep being asleep when Bluesky PDS have issues.

It didn’t go down. The almost 2000 self hosted PDS kept going blue.mackuba.eu/directory/pd...

Which could even use Bluesky’s client web or mobile interface to read and post.

Bluesky the company hosts a lot of accounts on their PDS. They got DDOS’d.

I experimented with French fries in oil on the stovetop. It didn’t really work all that well, never mind the large amount of oil or the oil in the air.
