@georgetakei It would appear that he's fine, but yeah that was a close call for him.

David (formerly Zalasur) (zalasur@mastodon.surazal.net)'s status on Friday, 11-Oct-2024 10:55:35 JST David (formerly Zalasur) When the new #Mastodon update came out, I did not like the UI change to the Content Warning container.
Now that I've had a chance to get used to it, I've decided I *really* don't like the changes.

I could not agree with this statement more.

David (formerly Zalasur) (zalasur@mastodon.surazal.net)'s status on Saturday, 27-Jul-2024 09:26:04 JST David (formerly Zalasur) I'm going to suggest this account for fediblock. The US election is bringing out the "fake" accounts and this one is no exception. It looks like a satire account but the vibe I'm getting from the server in general is that it's not "friendly". It definitely looks like an attempt at impersonation.

So I'm erring on the side of caution and recommending a #fediblock. I'll probably just block the entire instance.

David (formerly Zalasur) (zalasur@mastodon.surazal.net)'s status on Friday, 28-Jun-2024 10:26:18 JST David (formerly Zalasur) Just an FYI, there's an AI SPAM bot on dot social. Replying to posts on Mastodon claiming to rate your beauty. All you have to do is upload a picture of your face. I've reported it to the mods there but I'm posting it to the fediblock in case anyone else runs across this.
I'm guessing this won't be the last time we see this type of account.

David (formerly Zalasur) (zalasur@mastodon.surazal.net)'s status on Monday, 06-May-2024 23:34:42 JST David (formerly Zalasur) One thing I wish #PeerTube did was post a federated announcement whenever I went live. Right now I have to post things manually just like I did on Twitch which sort of defeats the purpose.
"But you can just create a new live video every time you go live and it will federate that" Do you know what a pain in the ass that is?

David (formerly Zalasur) (zalasur@mastodon.surazal.net)'s status on Saturday, 18-Nov-2023 08:42:50 JST David (formerly Zalasur) A reminder that the guy who just got fired from OpenAI also wanted to scan everyone's eyeball with some sort of orb in exchange for Worldcoin, his pet crypto project. They told him that he was absolutely not allowed to do this in the US so he started spending a bunch of time in Africa and Southeast Asia in the hopes of finding enough suckers for his program.

David (formerly Zalasur) (zalasur@mastodon.surazal.net)'s status on Friday, 10-Nov-2023 03:34:17 JST David (formerly Zalasur) Now keep in mind I do this for fun. I do not have any designs to doing this for a living. I play games but I also like to chat with people. So this is basically an expensive hobby for me and I'd like to make sure things don't spiral out of control.
I use #Linode for hosting and I have no complaints so far. The server hosting is about $48/mo for 4 VCPUs. This is because when I do a live stream, the transcoding process eats up two full CPUs easily.
That makes up the bulk of the cost. (cont'd)

David (formerly Zalasur) (zalasur@mastodon.surazal.net)'s status on Friday, 10-Nov-2023 03:33:40 JST David (formerly Zalasur) I've got a few months of hosting a #peertube instance and have learned quite a few things. One thing that surprised me was that the cost of storage and network bandwidth was not nearly as much as I thought it was going to be. That being said, the cost of hosting a server capable of handling the CPU loads of transcoding a live #stream turned out to be quite higher than I was expecting.
I can afford it but it has me looking at what my plans are for the future with an eye towards cost. (cont'd)

David (formerly Zalasur) (zalasur@mastodon.surazal.net)'s status on Tuesday, 04-Jul-2023 05:19:40 JST David (formerly Zalasur) @Bloonface I mean it shouldn't have to be said that if someone is planning something they don't want exposed, social media is the worst possible platform to do it on. They may as well use a bullhorn.
That goes double for federated platforms.

David (formerly Zalasur) (zalasur@mastodon.surazal.net)'s status on Friday, 10-Mar-2023 23:33:43 JST David (formerly Zalasur) @thomasfuchs It would have to be a client-side function which would open up an implementation can of worms. Some backend random number generators are even security risks. I can see why it would not be part of the spec.
