Recently, between receiving my old health records from my parents and some diving with my therapist, I’ve come to the realization or confirmation that my neurodivergence is tied to being autistic, or on the spectrum.
As I’ve been processing or unwinding that, I’ve started connecting the dots between extended family relating me to certain TV characters like Sheldon, or Shaun on The Good Doctor. Admittedly, I’m having a hard time processing how I feel about that, especially after the fact.
This confirmation has been validating, even if the fact I can’t get an official diagnosis because doing so as an adult is difficult as hell, which occasionally makes me feel like a fraud. But it’s still been conflicting feelings. The validation is, very nice, I have to admit. But, as I’ve processed other feelings have come up. Including a sense of injustice that I’ve had to mask/normalize all my life just to “fit in” or mesh with normal society instead of just being me, fully and authentically
Dr. Pepper to me is like the United States to oil. Must have it all, gimmie gimmie
Todays “fun” is brought to you by AWS. Because nothing says fun like playing IAM Policy whack-a-mole.
I’m curious what will happen if when I hook up @pixelfed to my Sentry account. But man this thing is not exactly production ready. I’ve got an instance running, technically you can see it at https://photos.skrasek.us/@hunter but even though it’s public, you can’t follow it.
I don't know how to configure a #Laravel application to connect to PostgreSQL over a unix socket, apparently. This is driving me crazy
Well, I felt this was it, but I was dumb in not checking it first. The issue was that php-fpm was not running as the correct user. For the peer connection to work, it needs to run the pool as the same Linux user. One step closer to a functioning @pixelfed instance.
Maybe this long weekend I’ll expand my #fediverse footprint to have a clean split of what’s posted where. But in the meantime, I’m hosting my own instance, so I can do what I want lol. Tonight’s dance class at Ballet Austin was so much fun but kicked my butt. #dance #hiphop
I swear drivers in Austin have gotten worse over the years. Not sure if driver’s education here sucks, or all the transplants had the worst driver’s education ever
@renatolond Hey, after I had to rebuild my Mastodon instance, the crossposter hasn’t been working for me. So I need to try from another browser to re-authenticate my accounts? Or is there a better approach?
Also, great work on the crossposter!
So if you have you Twitter archive. Wouldn’t it technically be possible to migrate those posts to Mastodon, but into the past? Effectively creating the statuses with their original created timestamp?
It’s kinda refreshing opening Mastodon, and not having 500+ new posts to catch up on. I’m sure I’ll get there eventually as I build up my follows. But it’s definitely relaxing
Petting your dog is all fun and games until she whips her head up and head butts you in the nose. Ow
I was going to keep a clean delineation between photos and regular posts made here. But I guess I should pay the #Dog tax

Getting into #mastodon have been an interestingly reinvigorating experience. I’m already thinking about setting up a #pixelfed instance this weekend so that anyone who follows me can choose if they want to seee my photos or not.
It’s also made me want to both update my website and start technical writing again, oddly enough. That one seems harder than setting up a whole other Fediverse app though.
There’s a lot more to the #fediverse than I originally knew. I can only guess there’s even more to find. But for now, https://fediverse.party/ is a pretty neat reference point.
After a lot of pain, I'm finally back in action and on v4.0.1. And now I am going to sleep. Not being able to sleep and sickness is a pain in the ass
Since this cross-posts to Twitter, word of warning. DigitalOcean's one-click Mastodon setup is still on Ubuntu 18 and like v3.1.x.
I had to upgrade Node to 14 during the process was the main thing. Other than that, and a weird webpack compile issue, smooth sailing.
Screw it; let's tempt fate and do an Ubuntu upgrade tonight. Something something leeroy jenkins?
This did not go well, and I've just spent the last four hours doing manual data recovery from a broken Droplet to a new droplet. That was a painful experience, and I've learned my lesson.
Thanks, DigitalOcean, for pointing me in the right direction. Also, have more money and do automatic backups for me kthx
After some trial and error and a bump to v4.0.1, my @Mastodon instance is back up again.
I gotta say, the upgrade process could be a bit.. better or better documented. Having to parse through multiple versions in Github to read the various upgrade steps was painful. Admittedly I'm not sure what the best solution/improvement would be
Well, updating my @[email protected] server up to v4.0.0 was going well... until well v4.0.0. Now it's broken and the logs are less than helpful. Crap
Productive day: I've been deleting random lines of code to speed up the algorithm. I work on Tesla Autopilot.
