Am I the only person left on the planet who doesn't want their #browser in #fullscreen mode?

Thanks @stefano for upgrading the instance obviously without any issues! But a little boo to #mastodon for the new appearance that needlessly consumes even *more* horizontal space than before (using the "advanced" UI), which now prompted me to show it scaled to 90% in chromium 🙄

@stefano I've always used the "classic" one, now I tried the "bird" style just in case, but same issue. Sure, I could switch to the "simple" UI, but I actually like the columns, just why do they need so much space?

On the site previously known as twitter, I really enjoyed the classic "tweetdeck"...

@feld @stefano Oh! I'll have to keep an eye on that, whether this is the case for all the "missing" toots! Thanks for that idea. 👍

It seems #snac's simple Web UI doesn't show that property (or I'm being blind), but I can check on the mastodon instance of course 😉

@feld @stefano Unfortunately, it has to be a different issue, see this toot that also doesn't appear in my feed on mastodon:
https://snac.bsd.cafe/zirias/p/1727937709.648837

It's a reply (again without tagging in the content) to a *public* toot. 😞

@stefano something seems a bit strange with the #snac instance: I followed myself now (both directions), and quite some of my own toots on snac don't arrive in my feed here on #mastodon. But when looking at the snac profile from mastodon, I can read them... 🤷

@stefano Hm ... could it be related to whether something is an answer or not? I *think* it was answers I didn't see, and I'm pretty sure (?) Mastodon is showing me answers written by other people I follow. 🤔

@stefano Maybe I fundamentally misunderstood how the home feed works in #mastodon? I expected it would show me *every* toot from people I follow. Yet here's another one that doesn't appear:
https://snac.bsd.cafe/zirias/p/1727886222.245670

Yes, it's an answer again, without tagging anyone, but I wonder how that could be related, I mean I'm following this account (myself on the snac instance), not the "random" person I might or might not tag when answering. I'm confused 😂

One of the very few actually useful things #systemd has to offer is the #status report (systemctl status) on a service, including lots of info + latest #log messages. Except it completely spoils it by forcing you to scroll horizontally. 🤯

#TIL: You can easily fix it by putting SYSTEMD_LESS=FRXMK in your environment.

Next step testing #IPv6only operation in my local network, I wanted to give #dhcp "option 108" (IPv6-only preferred) a try.

I'm running #ISC #dhcpd on my #FreeBSD router/firewall, so I looked at the manuals:

https://man.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=dhcp-options

Ok, added "option option-108 00:00:00:00;" based on that, which dhcpd rejected 🤔

From finding random different examples for custom options and with some trial and error, I found I have instead to declare the option:

option v6only code 108 = integer 32;

... and then use it like this:

option v6only 0;

Ok, what's up with documentation here? 🙄

At least it works, verified on my phone running #Android 14. No #IPv4-address from my pool any more. Instead, 192.0.0.4 appeared, seems it automatically configures a #clat...
