"Fall" from Borknagar

"Afar" 😍

#Borknagar #metal

In case you're wondering why metalhead.club was offline for an hour yesterday: We ran out of storage on the Mastodon DB filesystem.

That was because I underestimated the effect of deleting data of dead instances and removed remote accounts. There's "tootclt accounts cull" for that.

... Which results in a lot of removed database records. Which again results in a way bigger diff of more than 180 GB on the filesystem layer.

Usually that's not a problem - except for the case when you use snapshots on your filesystem. Changing 180 GB effectively means _adding_ 180 GB, which filled the primary storage.

Well. I keep on learning that lesson again and again 😅

Neues Linkin Park Album ist prima :)

With Mastodon 4.3 keyboard shortcuts in the Mastodon Web UI don't work for me.

Is it just me?

(e.g. pressing "j" and "k" for the next/previous post)

Ein Hoch auf #openstreetmap @openstreetmap !

Mein zukünftiges Zuhause war mit seiner Adresse auf Openstreetmap noch nicht zu finden. Aber kein Problem! Hab es einfach auf der Karte eingezeichnet. War ne Sache von 2 Minuten.

Mach Google mal klar, dass da irgendwo im Neubaugebiet nun eine neue Wohnanlage steht - ... nicht so einfach und vor allem nicht schnell. Klar kann ich einen Marker auf der Karte setzen und dann "Ort hinzufügen" wählen. Dann aber nur als Punkt - ich kann nicht selbst zeichnen und auch keine Metadaten eintragen.

Openstreetmap hat sich schon wieder bewährt! Und da auch Post/DHL das nutzen, findet der Postbote uns hoffentlich.

Interesting: During the Wacken period we had about 60 per cent _less_ new registrations than usual 😂.

This is a reminder to make your public posts searchable in Mastodon. By default they cannot be found by others and are hidden from their search results.

To make them visible to others on the search page, go to your Mastodon settings, choose "Public Profile", then "Privacy and Reach" and tick the "Include public posts in search result" check box 😊👍

Of course there is no urgent need to do this, but it might make the Mastodon search much more valuable to others!

Hat jemand von euch nen Kontakt zur DKB IT oder nen anderen kurzen Draht zu denen?

Die machen merkwürdige Dinge mit ihren Mailservern und ich will, dass das aufhört.

Nur den normalen Support will ich damit nicht behelligen. Die sind nur verwirrt, was ich will...

#dkb #mailserver

Ich habe über eine Formularseite der DKB Unterlagen eingereicht und nun bekomme ich an meine Email Adresse eine Fehlermeldung vom Outlook Server der Bank.

Mein Mailserver hätte den DKB Server nicht autorisiert, Emails unter meiner Domain zu schicken.

Das ist korrekt.

Das soll auch so sein.

Sieht so aus, als hätte die DKB die Unterlagen mit meiner Mailadresse an sich selbst geschickt und mich als Absender gefälscht.

Bleibt festzuhalten: Tom's Mailserver gut. DKB IT naja. 🤷♂️

The 7th birthday of our Mastodon instance metalhead.club is also a good opportunity to draw attention to our collaboration with @freibier_cc

There will soon be a metalhead.club beer! 🍺 👏

A "Helles" - naturally brewed from the finest ingredients, according to the Bavarian purity law and certified organic!

@bestiaexmachina has designed an excellent label for it, which we will use to label our beer. Then we won't have to make do with stickers😄

More to come soon! 👋

Today is the 7th birthday of metalhead.club! 🎂 🥳

Thank you for being here for so long and filling the place with life!

I'm really proud that we can run this place thanks to your generous donations!

And special thanks of course to my two co-moderators @Kitty and @SunDancer , who have always shown a sense for appropriate moderation decisions and don't let big waves of spam get them down!

Here's to the next 7 years! 🍻

Finally we know why Threads doesn't federate with metalhead.club: We are "violating the community guidelines or terms of use!"

I can't do it anymore! I CAN'T DO IT ANYMORE! *hysterical laughter*

Well that ends the issue. I haven't gotten a response even after many good-natured attempts to contact threads/meta and I'm tired of begging. If they don't like it, let them be without us. Too bad (because one or the other user would probably have read threads), but that's not going to happen.

Next week (30 June) metalhead.club will be 7 years old!

It took me a few tries to get into the boot manager of the Minix Z100-0dB, but now Debian is installed.

And the first impression is great! Everything already feels very fast. Worlds better than with my Rock64 NAS. But I can only say more once I've run a few benchmarks and finished setting up my NAS.

I'd like to remind all Mastodon users that you can add a language filter to any follow relationship on Mastodon.

If you follow me and you don't speak German, you can easily remove my German posts from your timeline by adjusting the language settings.

Go to my profile page, select the dot menu and click "Change subscribed languages". Then select the languages that you speak.

This really is a hidden gem 💎 on Mastodon and not many people seem to know this feature :awesome:

Thinking about renaming metalhead.club to Thomas.club. :thaenkin:

Naaa frönt ihr alle dem Metal? 🤘

@MiseryPath 😁 Top! Bin gespannt auf deinen neuen Stoff!

What does "Voidkind" mean? DVNE's new album is called Voidkind, but I could not find any translation.

Is the word made up? What could be the meaning of it?
