My reason for having #facebook is to buy/sell on Marketplace. There isn’t anything else to do of value IMHO. I’m annoyed Facebook has been able to displace #craigslist. But I’m guessing it’s partially because Craigslist didn’t police businesses that ruined search with keyword and hashtag […]

Updated the most 💩 app on my phone: #YouTube. They somehow broke search so you cannot search. It’s not possible to select the search box to type anything. Unbelievable.

Setup daily backups of my #sqlite for my #gotosocial server. Backups go to S3 at the moment but I’ll add just archiving to a local path or maybe scp to a host? I dunno. Don’t need to make things too complicated.
