Moving to a new instance is a sly excuse to write an #introduction post (I never did one before).
I'm Drew, pleased to meet you. I'm male, middle aged, child-free, a Brit but don't feel like one, living in 🇵🇭 for the last few years. I'm #neurodivergent with quite severe #CPTSD. You can ask me about it, I'm trying to get better at discussing it. I'm married, I work in #tech and I love animals and nature.
I post about (takes deep breath): #DogsOfMastodon #WebDev #Linux #Fedora #RaspberryPi #Apple #NoAI #FuckAI #BanAI #Enshittification #Autism #ActuallyAutistic #AuDHD #ADHD #ChildhoodTrauma #MentalHealth #Stroke #PTSD #ModelRailway #NGauge #Philippines #SilentSunday #Bookstodon #Music
Edit: Almost forgot! I have a single-page personal profile website at https://drewtowler.me which expands on all this.
Edit: Other things I like but probably won't post about: #OldMaps #AnimeArt #StudioGhibli

Like #airdrop, but for all major OSes.
So for transferring notes and pieces of text, I have #AnyType, and for transferring files, I have #LocalSend. Nice and easy. I just used it to transfer 6 new photos (25Mb) from my iPhone to my Mac in a couple of seconds.
And they haz a tooter: @localsend

Second gotcha.
My #hosts file was being ignored and I spent 2 hours trying every possible cause including file owner, charset, EOL character, permissions, etc etc, until I learned from this link https://iboysoft.com/tips/hosts-file-not-working-mac.html that #apple #systemintegrityprotection stops an edited hosts file being recognised.
Apple being stupidly unhelpful. Wouldn't be the first time.
So I did the csrutil disable in recovery mode and finally all is well, my hosts file is now blocking all kinds of shitty domains.

Never underestimate a developer's need to put their own little stamp on things and to make themselves smile.
I create and use a lot of shell scripts in my work. I start each script with:
echo Reticulating splines...
and end it with:
echo Your hovercraft is full of eels.
Most of these scripts will only ever be used by me, but I still do it.

Too little, too late, #Apple. You made it very clear we had to update to #Tahoe to prevent device armageddon so reluctantly I did, on both iPhones and the iPad.
And now, over a week after all the #DarkSword mass panic and upgrading, you change your mind? Not cool.
But I won’t be buying any more Apple devices anyway. For a variety of reasons, many of which relate to your contempt for your users - which is clearly shown by this late action.

@carlocarrasco.com Israel is a #genocidal rogue state and the rest of the world needs to be censuring it not partnering with it.

Today is my #freedomday. 4 years ago I finally realised that my toxic parents were a major factor in my #CPTSD and I had no chance of healing while they were a part of my life. 4 years ago today I went #nocontact and it turned out to be the catalyst for all kinds of #mentalhealth discoveries and progress.

I keep my contacts in a #CardDAV address book on my own #Baikal #DAV server, and my Betterbird email app has no problem accessing this.What it can't do is merge 2 contacts!
It's 2026, we almost have flying cars, how is merging contacts not possible?

1. Heading up to our farm workers' bunkhouse as soon as we wake up, to have a catch-up while the dogs roll in the grass and the chickens wander round us pecking in the dirt. #FarmLife
2. Running some trains on my little test layout while consistently failing to find the time to build my "proper" layout. #ModelRailway #NGauge #DCC #JMRI
3. A call from a former client #today may result in a #webdev project for a new client.

Was quite excited when I saw #doorsday on the #trendingnow list...
Sadly couldn't find a single post about #JimMorrison.

I consume my #news mainly via #RSS feeds of major news sites (#Guardian, #Rappler, etc).
Sometimes I open my feed reader, read a headline and think "I don't have enough room in my brain to hold an opinion on that", and I don't open the article.
The most important part of this story is that I've realised this is healthy. It's good to be selective and protect ourselves from overload. We don't need to know everything that's going on, let alone form an opinion on it.
