so it's uh, overdue somewhat, but i've made a tip-jar page available for those of you who've asked for a way to say thanks and have some spare change: https://maff.scot/tipjar/
as of yesterday evening, i’m officially unemployed, because for the second consecutive time, my role was made redundant. super great that it happened to be right before christmas! when it seems like the job market is pretty bad!!
i uh, idk. is it at this point that i can mention the tip jar without feeling bad about it? any donation while i’m job hunting helps ;-; https://maff.scot/tipjar
personally the change i'm most excited about is that account deletions are more efficient server-side, because up until now, they were the one database task that routinely took more than an hour to complete and it fuckign sucked.
folks, queer.party is now running mastodon 3.3.0! this brings with it the following changes:
- audio/video can now pop-out if you want
- you can import/export bookmarks
- you can now choose to be notified when someone toots
- you can now use a security key as a second authentication factor
- your queer.party experience will be slightly more responsive, more bug-free, and use resources more efficiently on the server-side
- other changes, this ain't an exhaustive list. see https://github.com/tootsuite/mastodon/releases/tag/v3.3.0
Mastodon 3.3.0 includes some changes to the registration form which might(?) hinder spammy signups, meaning I won't have to screw with hCaptcha since it's..still broken and I get emails about it every few days.

friends, i've written up the details of yesterday's federation issues on queer.party. long and short: certificates are a fuck.
going by the slowly increasing amount of federated posts suddenly appearing where there was previously at best a trickle, the issue is in fact resolved.
yes i'm going to complain about something i downloaded for free. just because i didn't pay to download it doesn't mean you get a pass for your stupid fucking decisions >:(
