Important note: you should NEVER do this to trailing slashes that exist in the path itself!

https://simonwillison.net/tags and https://simonwillison.net/tags/ are not technically the same URL

But... https://simonwillison.net/ and https://simonwillison.net ARE the same

And if you've decided not to display the https:// protocol, I think it looks prettier if you don't show the trailing slash either

(This is possibly the least important aesthetic preference anyone has ever expressed)

The model where everyone gets a new identity for every community they join (1) largely defeats the purpose of federation (2) does not scale as people have *many* communities of interest and (3) doesn't map to our natural conception of identity.

I *hope* it's fixable. May take some convincing of Eugen, which seems hard from this vantage point.

I can never see the word aluminum without thinking of one of my favorite Weird Al numbers, Foil.

I do this one at karaoke pretty regularly. Yes, I could do Royals by Lorde, but the parody is more fun to sing. 🥪🦎

@aaronpk the #raspberrypi does not actually have the horsepower to “Create multiple resolutions of your video and push different resolutions to different platforms”, right? It has trouble encodingone stream at 720p.

@aaronpk Nice! What language are you learning? Italian, and 59 days for me!

@aaronpk so glad to see you on Mastodon and talk about it on your YouTube channel! Big fan of your content.

@aaronpk @metawops https://github.com/datarhei/restreamer This is what we are using. It’s based on the same nginx modules but everything works via the web interface after docker compose up. Just love it as it helps saving money for multistreaming.

@aaronpk and your Fitbit didn’t need changing time zones back

@aaronpk yeah, it's because legit advertisers are fleeing Twitter.

@aaronpk To ensure the posts are deleted, mastodon sends the Delete activities to all known servers regardless of follower relationships!

@aaronpk Combined deletes, delete+redraft and scheduled deleting of old toots.

@aaronpk maybe people fixing up their toots multiple times?
