I was recently messaged "I'm trying to figure out how to like your Blog post". (Fediverse #Wordpress plugin installed).

And I noticed: telling them to
- log into mastodon / fediverse
- searching for the blog's user (okay, added the "follow me block now)
- searching the according post
- and FINALLY like it

Isn't cool. - and I have no clue how to improve it. @pfefferle - not sure if you're aware of it OR if I'm missing something.

(also reminded me about @_elena 's post about starterpacks)

I saw a Nutria in the wild today!

Just sharing this reminder of a really glorious day in the #mountains .
I spent quite a bit of time to find exactly THIS spot so that fore and midground blended so well together.

And currently I'm having this as a background image in teams. Sometimes I wonder if this might look unprofessional - and then I think "maybe I don't care".

Hey! We just came back from a nice afterwork cycling.
Currently we do an hour of easy cycling every day.
Especially after work it really a blessing.

As I'm STILL behind with the recent trips I just browsed the archives for some beautiful memories of a hike last year.

This trail doesn't offer epic vistas but the trail itself is just a gem.

hey friends! One more photo from my recent hike into the #mountains .

My way went from this point to the right over the summit (not seen on the photo), down to the ridge (right into the photo), along the ridge, and down into the middle of the photo.

An amazing day and an impressive trail!

Hey! Just a quick snap from today's walk (okay about 4:30h) near #kirchseeon and #ebersberg.

It's been warm but really beautiful. A lot of shade, quite some old trees, lots of green 😊

I'm curious how the photos will turn out. - Now I'm thinking about tomorrow's activity. I tend towards an early bike & hike to escape the heat. 🤔 But it also means getting up early.

My first thought as well! 😄

@TimKStanton
Woah! 38?! That's insane

Back home from a bike and hike with a friend. I'm absolutely devastated.

Every muscle from my hips downward hurts. But I made it!

Hello all!
I wasn't able to process the photos of my recent trips, but I wanted to share this one from last year.

I went there on a hot day to "take a couple of photos". In the end I spent 3h just at this waterfall searching for the right composition & interpretation, the right motive etc.

I love the result, but I'm surprised how much time I spent there to get it.

Less than 500€ and less than a day for #peertube fund raising to goal 3 of 4
Goal 3 is live streaming from the app! Please, let's make it happen.

Ahh can't find the post any more.
Anyways: if you want to support @_elena 's video and keep some load off her #peertube server:

Keep the browser open after watching the video. The peer-to-peer system helps to distribute traffic.

I just saw that I downloaded more from peers than from the servers - AND uploaded more than I downloaded.

Never tried to upload a sound file. But let's be this the first time!

This is a bit of ambient sound recorded during our little walk today. Insects in the meadow, cow bells, a little bit of wind.

The rest must happen in your mind until I upload photos or clips. I hope you like it.

And I also have a short clip from the ride here:

End of our easter days. I'm closing the days with a short loop trying again to keep the heart rate low. It worked ways better this time 😊👍

The weather was quite overcast but almost no wind. Not a lot of people on the roads doing sports today.

Just updated my #Peertube Instance via #Yunohost to v7.1.

And with the update going fully smooth, I donated to both Framasoft and Yunohost.

@apps
Well publishing doesn't cost a lot of time / effort, does it? (sorry if I'm wrong)
So my question would be, why NOT to publish?

ohhh! I just noticed #peertube supports remote runners for transcoding that can even run on my home computer!

When I uploaded my videos recently, I noticed that my (very small) VPC is hitting its limits with transcoding.

For the next videos (or for recoding), I'll try to setup a remote runner on my PC!
