are there any sort of “cards only” places out there in the world? Are there many establishments not accepting cards at all?

Most of the places in Sweden I went to a couple weeks ago didn't take cash at all. I didn't even get cash out of the ATM that trip and it was just fine! Even in the US there are definitely some shops that don't take cash.

Here in Singapore I've seen some cash only places, some cash or the Singapore NETS card, and some gladly take credit cards too. I haven't seen any here yet that don't take cash tho.

@aaronpk 🤷‍♂️ not that I'm aware of, I was just following their documentation. https://github.com/tootsuite/documentation/blob/master/Running-Mastodon/Serving_a_different_domain.md

ah it looks like I only look for the hardcoded webfinger path and not the host-meta after all.

@aaronpk Does your ActivityPub remote follow webfinger {domain}/.well-known/host-meta? I got an error saying "We couldn't find your subscription endpoint."

I based it off of mastodon but I don't remember exactly. Was there a different way it could work other than that?

Which deployment method did you use?

I just download the Go binary and run it on an Ubuntu server at home. I have it set to talk to a MySQL DB on the same machine. The upgrades are just replacing the binary and it figures out the migrations itself.

Let's say I wanted to move my code off GitHub but still have a neato web interface: What are some self-hosted git web interfaces to consider? Gitea looks pretty neat: https://gitea.io/en-us/

I've been using Gitea (previously Gogs) for a few years and have been pretty happy with it.

Well crap, trying to figure out what business money still needs to get spent for the year.

I’m not even close to running in the red 😬

Might need to do some serious spending here soon.

I know this game 🤣

I deleted several years worth of emails from my inbox and I'm not sure how I feel about it.

I keep thinking about doing this and then change my mind at the last second

@acorscadden Nothing automatic like OwnYourGram, but we do have a dedicated batch import feature in the macOS version of Micro.blog. There's a help page with links to more info here.

OwnYourGram isn't automatic anymore because Instagram started putting profile pages behind a login wall and severely rate limiting requests to profiles. It should still be working if you go into your dashboard and import photos manually though.

Related to previous tweets... at PyConAU 2018 people were talking about their multi-country power adapter and travel cord management systems... who has recs?
I think I remember @timb07@twitter.com, @andrewgodwin@twitter.com, @chrisjrn@twitter.com, and @freakboy3742@twitter.com having opinions here?

I'm not a fan of the multi-country ones because they end up being huge bricks. I take a couple of super compact adapters for each country with me now.

Friends who have gone to Japan recently (specifically Tokyo):
What should I know before going?
I have hotel, I'm not really leaving Tokyo proper much, what's the "existing in Japan" things I should know?

Get a Suica card, you can use it for everything from transit to paying for stuff in restaurants and vending machines. If you have an iPhone you can transfer the suica card into your Apple wallet and use that instead and it's magic.

Ok I'm going to try and be an adult here.

No new MacBook and no new lens today.

You might think that not buying anything is the easier option.

You clearly don't know me.

Better than my response to the new MacBooks which was to go buy a new Razer Stealth 13 laptop and switch to Windows 🤣

I don’t think they did. I think it’s just newer tech in the reader; after all it’s been several years since the SD slot was included. I could be wrong though. Prograde makes reader isn’t cheap. But worth every penny (especialy the dual slot reader) if you create lots of content.

Good point, I always forget how long it's been since the SD card reader was built in, and just because clock speeds aren't much faster since then doesn't mean there weren't lots of other improvements in the tech.

The ProGrade reader is a lot faster than the internal SD card reader by about 40% if memory serves.

Makes you wonder how they messed up the internal SD card reader so bad then!

I would pay a lot of money for the new MacBook Pro 16 to have SD card slots.

And by a lot I mean whatever let’s me stop using this dumb dongle 😳

I really miss the SD card slot 😭
