@ramsey @ian @kboyd @syntaxseed Correct, they just updated the droplet a week or two ago to be Ubuntu 20.04, Postgres 15, Mastodon 3.5.3 and I have no idea what redis version. The upgrade path to go from 3.5.3 is fairly straightforward and I can throw together an easier guide than what Mastodon provides, if interested.
@terry I haven’t even started watching it yet, and dodging spoilers on YouTube is proving to be a gymnastics exercise
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.
@ieatkillerbees @ian @kboyd @mwop it should honestly. I’m running my instance right now on what is probably an over provisioned 8GB memory server with their premium AMD chipset. DO’s one click install makes it very simple to get started, albeit on v3.5.X, but the upgrade instructions are relatively straight forward and I can share a better formatted version if you’d like.
@terry can confirm, it’s a bit of a pain. But also kinda fun? Hard to explain. I also only just now realized your profile picture is of your Perk bobble head lol
@Tylae well that’s.. terrifying. Seeing as that cars are just giant metal death machines hurtling down the road. Probably fine though lol, “probably”
@ian which relays we looking at?
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
@Tylae @jessicamauerhan what is that app?
@adam tootin this, tootin that. Working on a better install guide for Pixelfed than what’s currently documented
@renatolond gotcha, I’ll keep an eye on it. If I decide to host my own instance of the crossposter to take some load off your side, should I let you know to purge my credentials?
@renatolond hmm just tested it, and my tweet didn’t show up on my mastodon.
@renatolond Ah! That explains it. Yessir, I am using the public one. My old instance had a kernel panic and I had to restore from backups onto a new instance.
