@binarydigit Ah okay that makes sense. It’s hard to give up the kind of features Google Photos provides. I’ve been trying to find a service that offers similar features and at a similar price point, but I just don’t think there is one.

I was looking at self hosting Immich, but I found that a pain to even get going, especially for someone not overly experienced with Linux.

@binarydigit Very interested to hear how you get on with Mega.io and their photo service. Haven’t heard of them before, but I’m also looking into ways to leave Google Photos behind and it’s not easy to find something that compares.

@dansup @antti @jamie @impressia @stux Worth knowing that I am able to login and use the app successfully if I disable 2FA on my account.

I've found an issue on the Pixelfed GitHub which explains the steps to reproduce. This happens across multiple apps, including Impressia and Mona.

@impressia @dansup @antti This issue also happens with pixey.org. I can’t currently log into my @jamie account on Impressia. I can on the Pixelfed app though. 🤔

@antti @jamie Hi @dansup @impressia @stux, the above issue is still present when attempting to login to both my Pixelfed.social and Pixey.org accounts on Impressia. Is there a fix planned? Thanks.

Streamer.bot is a great tool for streamers on the big platforms like Twitch and YouTube (I use it myself!), but it lacks official support for open source platforms like #Owncast and it would be great to see this added.

That's why I've submitted a suggestion for it on their ideas page, and it would great if you could vote as well! It's only got a single lonely vote which I'm pretty sure is mine for suggesting it. 😅

Looking to stop using #Gmail as my primary email service.

Has anyone used #Tuta (was #Tutanota)? It seems like they offer a good service. Any issues with it I should be aware of?

Obviously, changing email providers is no small task, so I want do as much as I can to make sure I'm picking the right service. Also plan on using a custom domain so I guess that'll make a switch in the future much easier.

@binarydigit v7 with the new look is out already! We have it installed on The Gamer’s Tavern instance.

The mobile app is a bit bare bones at the moment though. Looking forward to seeing improvements on that front though.

I may have migrated my #Pixelfed account yesterday, but the web interface of #Vernissage is a delight to use in comparison! It's very clean and I'm really liking it!

Keep an eye out for @vernissage posting beta access codes!

@binarydigit Have you tried Obsidian?
I’m not a heavy user of it by any means, but it’s closest I’ve used to Notion. Notes can be saved completely locally if you want and it doesn’t shove AI down your throat.

I think I might stop posting Go-Live posts on socials and keep it to just Twitch and Discord. Not sure what it is but I feel so cringey sending these out every time.

What are your thoughts on Go-Live posts?

@peertube Hi. Just wondering if we’re supposed to be able to login to our own accounts? Is it just local account only at the moment?

Looking at getting some LED light panels for my setup. Does anyone have any recommendations?

@therealahall I was thinking along the lines of this, which in fact is a Govee product. Thanks for the suggestions.

I need do something more with my life than just work in IT. It's so mentally draining and sometimes I just have no motivation to do anything after finishing work.

Problem is, as like most of my life, I've got no idea what I want to do or where to start even figuring that out. And then there is a financial issue that comes with probably needing to start from the bottom of then ladder again.

I end up brushing these feelings off and carrying on as usual. Rinse and repeat. 🙃

#EmuDeck is pretty damn cool and runs very well. I’ve got this neat theme running in #EmulationStation.

I’ve decided to download all of the #Zelda games, except for BotW and TotK as I haven’t got the means to set up Switch emulation. Never saw them as my kind of games, but as I’ve never played any of them I thought I’d give them a go.

@BeAware I wonder if they don’t add the local only feature because that then promotes instances to only talk amongst themselves. I know it’s possible in other ways, but that would be front and centre.

I know what you mean with the migration “feature”. It’s not exactly a simple process and yeah, you do end up losing followers. I recently migrated and lost about 8-10%. 🙃

@BeAware Yeah seems like a strange decision to omit it from vanilla Mastodon.

#Mastodon could do with a “Local Only” visibility option.
