Started to write a blog post about metalhead.club t-shirts and quickly realized that I don't have the energy to find proper words right now 😅.
My plan is to describe what considerations I made and which parts I use for my t-shirt "business". So others feel inspired and might sell instance merch, too! 😁
I think t-shirts are a great advertising space for Fediverse instances. 👌
@jan how do I know if Threads has blocked my instance? I've tried to connect to various threads.net accounts but it's not working. My instance is not blocking threads.
@thisven ich fand ihn super interessant. Fand vor allem Bild und Ton super. Die ganze Akustik alleine war schon ein Erlebnis! Was die Handlung angeht: Ich muss zugeben, ich habe Teile davon nicht verstanden. Insbes. Zusammenhänge, die mir zu schnell gingen. Aber das habe ich bei Christopher Nolan öfter mal 😂
Bei Gelegenheit schaue ich ihn sicher nochmal ein zweites Mal.
Aber sonst: Ja, der Film ist mal wieder wirklich Kunst gewesen :)
#HTTP3 with Quic protocol is now enabled on metalhead.club. The new HTTP protocol version does not use TCP, but the UDP-based Quic protocol, which makes data transfers even more efficient under certain circumstances. For example if a page with lots of resources is loaded or if you're accessing a site from a location far away.
Therefore the recent configuration upgrade should improve metalhead.club performance esp. for US and AUS users + others.
Now that the first official, federated connection from a Fediverse account to a single (!) Meta threads.net account has been made, the Threads topic is boiling up again.
Many of us Fediverse citizens see this as an opportunity for the Fediverse to gain in importance.
At least as many are sceptical about whether we should be exchanging data with Threads at all.
As an instance admin, I'm worried about making a decision that could alienate users on both sides. 😓 🧵
Metalhead.club currently loses about 6 % to 9 % active users per month.
Well, it's no surprise that users lose interest, especially if they registered during one of the user waves and just wanted to check out what this Mastodon or Fediverse thing is.
Nevertheless it's sometimes a bit sad to see the numbers drop ;)
But of course I'm still happy to host this place for you - even if it'd be just 100 users. 😉
Stimmung gegen Outlook machen ist übrigens _immer_ angebracht. Microsoft hat in seiner ganzen Geschichte _nichts_ zu Email beigetragen, was nicht schädlich war.
Noch heute kämpfen Admins gegen Outlook und MS Mailserver, die sie beliebig blockieren und sich blöd verhalten.
Guck mal, nimm doch einfach mal metalhead.club oder eine beliebige andere Fediverse-Instanz, gib' deinem Admin nen Euro im Monat, und die Kosten sind erst mal gedeckt.
Facebook hingegen muss Aktionäre befriedigen. Ups.
(und "wir" Fediverse-Admins sind verhältnismäßig teuer, weil wir Strom und Netz nicht im Großhandel einkaufen, sondern unten in der Kette stehen)
