Does anyone know if this thing around a globe has a name? And if it does, what it's called?

Or how would you call it?

So… when you’re running 40+ containers on an #unraid server, is 1500 dns queries per minute much?

My #pihole handles it well but still, it seems a bit excessive?

Interesting: I thought that only I, the user, could flag and unflag emails. Apparently this is not the case; while Outlook correctly identified the email as spam, it came “pre-flagged”, so to say.

Dear #furries and #animators in my phone, are any of you aware of good animation software/apps for iPad Pro?

I have used MOHO on my MacBook in the past but would like something similar on my iPad now (MOHO does not seem to have an app version)

I found an interesting note taking program called AnyType (Swiss made). It looks great. Does anyone know it? I can't find a place to configure where to put the vault's location, it only shows me a default.

#DareToAsk N00b help needed with my Waterfox browser

I had been using Firefox for a long time, but it started to get some issues with certain sites. I *think* that it may be due to several of the add-ons and/or standard privacy options, but.. I have absolutely no idea how to fix these things properly. The only thing I could do now, was use the Edge browser (shudder), which allowed me to do what I wanted to do.

I know that the apps I use may not be everyone's cup of tea. But, due to my brain doing things in its own way, I struggle to find better options, that have at least what I need (or more) for the same price or less... Please don't judge me for using some of these apps... I know... 😔

But... With both Firefox and now Waterfox, I had been having issues with Flickr for a while now. Often, I would need to reload the page in order to be able to click on the pictures to open them. And, when I tried to add descriptions, they would sometimes not be saved the first time I tried, like the page had to reload again before it would cooperate. I tried the page in Edge, and... No issues at all...

I want to add descriptions and alt texts to my images, ever since the Fedi taught me how important these texts are. But, due to my silly brain (again), I find it incredibly hard to write decent text myself. I had been using altbot on the Fedi for a while, but, as I started to work my way through old vacation snaps, I switched to AI, as it could also help me remember where my old photos had been taken. My memory used to be good, but since the fibro and cPTSD started giving me bad brain fogs, I seem to have forgotten so much... So, for me, AI was a blessing for that. I was able to recover some memories... I know people are against AI, but for me, there are two little helpful things it offes.

But, to be able to create the at texts and/or descriptions, I need to upload the image to the chatbot. And, with the Fox' browsers, it keeps failing. The Edge browser has no such issues. So, I fear that I may need to tinker with some of the Fox settings, so that I can use that again, instead of the Microsoft stuff. I have some add-ons, the basic ones that the browser recommended when installing. They're all on the "standard" settings, as I am a n00b and don't want to breal anything...

I would like the sites of Gemini and Flickr to work properly in Waterfox. I don't want to open up all the bits, but just enough to be able to use those two sites for my intentions. I use a VPN, Avast virus protection, and some anti-tracker bit from Avast. So, opening up the bits needed for these two sites should hopefully not open up everything else. And, while I had to use Edge, I guess it was open already anyway, or it would not have worked in that browser as well.

Sorry, LOADS of babbling. Autistic me wants to share *all* the details. But my question is: is there a simple way for me to get these two sites to properly work in Waterfox, so that I can play around with my images again without needing to use Edge??? I would say, tell me like a 5-year old, but I'm afraid a 5-year old would have this solved before I even booted up Waterfox 😂

Thanks in advance!!! :blobcatflower:

@somebitslinks Deeply disturbing, the amount of force used on civilians 😮. And they even didn't let others provide medical care, disgusting 😞.

After watching the videos repeatedly, I do have a few questions though (as a non-American), hopefully someone can explain: #daretoask
1. Why was this woman's SUV seemingly blocking the street? As a civil form of protest against the arriving #ICE force? Or just performing a maneuver?

N00b question:

I know the difference between public, Followers only, and Direct.

There is also the option for Unlisted available. @FediTips has this on their (very useful) website:

>Unlisted / Quiet Public – Anyone can see it, but it won’t appear in the trending posts list or the Local or Federated timelines, it won’t show up in search results and it won’t show up in other people’s hashtag follows. Unlisted can be useful for replying in threads, so that you’re not filling search results etc unnecessarily. Normally indicated by a crescent moon 🌙

🔗 https://fedi.tips/who-can-see-my-posts-in-mastodon-how-do-i-send-dms-in-mastodon/

But I am too thick to understand what it fully means. I do get how it's handy when replying to people. But...
Would it be useful to post a new Toot (thread or just a loose one) in this setting? Or won't anyone be able to see it when I don't mention anyone? Like I'm screaming in the void and the void just ignores me?

I am currently really struggling with my (mental) health and I want to share some things, but not "shout them out" to everyone. I've been using the followers only bit on occasion. But I was just wondering about the unlisted option. Unfortunately my brain is too foggy at the moment to really understand the meaning of this setting... 😔

If there is any way to describe it like you're talking to a 5-year-old (who would probably understand it more easily than I would at this time 😂), I would be very grateful.

Hello sweet and lovely Friendos :kirby_prideheart:

I have been struggling with many things for many years. Growing up, undiagnosed, in the 80's and 90's meant that I was bullied a whole lot! Not just verbally, but physically as well. I even got stalked by friends of people that bullied me, who would try to catch me off guard for some more bullying...
It was kids that were cruel. It were adults, even people that should have been looking out for me, that bullied me. Made me feel like I was too stupid for anything. Made me feel like I was incapable of getting anything right. Made me doubt and question so many things... Even when I knew I was right to begin with... 😔

I've had two longer relationships, they even overlapped as I have been with both of them in a polygamous relationship for several years (even living together). I always did all I could for them, even when I knew it wasn't right for me to do so. I was still being told that I could not do certain things, and I was never offered to learn it. Something I struggled with a lot when I divorced in a very bad way, and for the first time ever, I was on my own... (well, I had Arwen, and she really saved my life back then 💜).

I avoided the home I lived in with my ex, as she was still living there (after she finally moved, I slowly noticed that I could pass the house again). I didn't notice it at first, until mum rode with me and asked me why I took the long way round...

I realized that my ex had been using my diagnoses against me, to make me do all she wanted without giving too much in return. After the divorce, all the things she did gave me, physical things, we're even kept from me, as she stated they were hers. All the physical things I got us, she kept, as that obviously had been gifts to her for all she did for me...

I learned what narcissism and gaslighting meant. And how I had been dealing with this for so long. And to think I was sad when she ditched me for someone healthier, younger, and richer... 🤔

But, I still have the nastiest flashbacks and nightmares about my ex. Even after being divorced for over 7 years, and I've not seen her for over 5 years... She still abuses me in my nightmares. She still has some power over me, as I just feel so bad when I realize all that I've been through...

I have slowly been reading some on PTSD, and when I got to the bit about cPTSD, so many things "just" made sense...

I have had many issues with my health, both physically and mentally. And I don't want another "label" attached to me. But.....

What if I do suffer from some form of (C)PTSD and it's still holding me back and making me feel like shit when certain things get triggered..? If I would try to find out if I am affected by it, would/could it be beneficial to me, in a sense of getting help to maybe recover from it? Can you really recover for it? 🤔

And, me being #AuDHD, does this mean that the "conventional" support for this, should I indeed struggle with it, will be less effective?

I've tried to deal with all my health issues. I followed rehab things to learn about my fibro and AuDHD. But I never really learned anything from it, as I usually already did all the research I could manage on my own, and that usually was more inclusive, information wise, than the group therapies were... I tried to get therapy for my eating disorder, but that also didn't really help me a whole lot. So I am wondering if I would be able to benefit in any way, should I want to pursue these emotions and all that I am dealing with...

(yesterday, I was walking Bas, and some guy who was working here passed me, and then he asked me if I was called "names my ex' name". And this, unfortunately, triggered me again.... 😔).

Sorry for the long Toot, but as I normally do, I wanted to be as informative about the situation as I can be in a Toot.

Thanks in advance for any advice! I know this is a personal question, and I know we're all different. I was just wondering if it would be something that I could check out or if it's something that just "is as it is". 🤔

Question for Irish speakers. Could you let me know how you pronounce "Donn Cúailnge"? I understand this regionally different, somewhere south Ireland-ish would be great.

Asking this for a story I'm writing, where characters engage in confusion over the name being pronounced wrongly.

FYI: Donn Cúailnge is a bull in Irish mythology

#DareToAsk does anyone have experience with Samsung (Android) tablets in combination with a Samsung BT mouse?
I have been using a keyboard for a while now, and it usually works well enough, sometimes it can be stubborn.
As I wanted to be kinder to my hands, I got myself a Samsung BT mouse as well.
Connecting it to the tablet was easy peasy, and then it worked. But if I turn off the mouse and then turn it on again, and let the BT connect...
It says it's connected, but the mouse won't do anything. I've tried scanning and connecting several times and it will say connected every time, but it won't show the mouse. Nor will the buttons work.
I need to delete the connection between the tablet and the mouse, and then reconnect them as a "new pair" and then it will work again. Until, you guessed it...

I don't know if this matters, but it's a Galaxy Tab 10 FE. The mouse is called BT Mouse Slim. I also have the keyboard connected at the same time which is the Smart KBD Trio.

As said, they can all work together when they want to... But somehow, I need to keep reconnecting the mouse in order for it to do it's job...

Thanks in advance for any tips! (maybe it's a simple solution, I hope..?).

What do you think about when you hear "online accessibility" or "accessible services"?
What are things that YOU think could be done better?

examples:
- making actual services accessible for disabled or neurodivergent people
- having a website adjusted for people that are colourblind
- offering different ways to communicate with a company so that each can choose what fits them best...

My last #MutualAid help request for Arwen :parrot_sad:

*Pupdate:*
We made it!!! :bear_nuzzle: €529/€502,75 💜
thanks so much to all that reached out and boosted. The little bit that's left will be used as a starting amount for the ash pendant that I'd love to get soon, to always have a bit of Arwen with me!
Every bit truly helps/helped me in getting Arwen home as soon as possible. (jusy got the vet bill, so I have adjusted the costs accordingly). Thanks so much to all that donated/boosted/shared comforting replies! :flying_hearts:

Sadly, Arwen passed away yesterday morning. She had a tumor on her heart and she was suffering, so she deserved to end that, and sleep forever. When she passed, she took a big piece of my heart with her.

Several months ago, I had a GoFundMe for her costs of cremation and an urn. I had saved that money, but... It turns out I need some more now. And I'm ashamed to ask, but I really do want to get Arwen home as quick as possible.

Last April, you sweet lovely folks helped me gather €400. So that's my starting funds. Unfortunately, laat month, I spend €187+82, on medical costs for her, so my piggy bank has been depleted.

The vet where Arwen passed has a good connection with a different animal funeral service. But they were very helpful and I was just overwhelmed. So, to keep things easy at a time like that, mum and I decided to use their services.

Unfortunately, this means that the costs will be higher than what I had put aside, thanks to your help.

The cremation will be €425.
The urn that mum and I chose was €194.
There are €45 costs of picking up Arwen and bringing back the urn.
And I don't know the vet costs yet, but I recon they may be around €238,75 (edited, I just got the bill).

Some friends have already told me they wanna help. For which I'm super grateful. But, I now need to hang my head in shame, and grumble down, and ask for your help with Arwen's costs one last time...

Total costs will be € 902,75. I already had the €400 from the previous GoFundMe. Which leaves ± €502,75 to go...

I know times are hard on us all. Please don't be ashamed if you're not able to donate. Boosting is just as welcome. I appreciate all your support in any way, and I'm ashamed that I need to ask for more help, after so many already came through for me during my previous begging toots. :parrot_sad:

I have a :kofi: Kofi and PayPal link. I don't have the spoons to work with GoFundMe now. All the current happenings had drained me from having extra spoons to use, unfortunately.

I'll try to keep this Toot updated next I can. I can never repay you, I can never fully express the feelings I experience when I may be on the receiving end of your support and generosity. :flying_hearts:

My two ways of receiving financial support right now are:

Https://PayPal.me/CynniPixy

Sorry for asking for help again. It pains me to say that this will be the last time where I will need help with Arwen... :parrot_sad: but I'd love to get her home with me again.

Thank you for your understanding, for your support. Please do boost if you can, as this can make a big difference to the reach of this Toot. :boosts_ok_gay:

Arwen is free now, no more pains, no more struggles... My period of mourning has began. And dealing with money issues makes it so much more difficult...

My last #MutualAid help request for Arwen :parrot_sad:

*Pupdate:*
We made it!!! :bear_nuzzle: €529/€502,75 💜
thanks so much to all that reached out and boosted. The little bit that's left will be used as a starting amount for the ash pendant that I'd love to get soon, to always have a bit of Arwen with me!
Every bit truly helps/helped me in getting Arwen home as soon as possible. (jusy got the vet bill, so I have adjusted the costs accordingly). Thanks so much to all that donated/boosted/shared comforting replies! :flying_hearts:

Sadly, Arwen passed away yesterday morning. She had a tumor on her heart and she was suffering, so she deserved to end that, and sleep forever. When she passed, she took a big piece of my heart with her.

Several months ago, I had a GoFundMe for her costs of cremation and an urn. I had saved that money, but... It turns out I need some more now. And I'm ashamed to ask, but I really do want to get Arwen home as quick as possible.

Last April, you sweet lovely folks helped me gather €400. So that's my starting funds. Unfortunately, laat month, I spend €187+82, on medical costs for her, so my piggy bank has been depleted.

The vet where Arwen passed has a good connection with a different animal funeral service. But they were very helpful and I was just overwhelmed. So, to keep things easy at a time like that, mum and I decided to use their services.

Unfortunately, this means that the costs will be higher than what I had put aside, thanks to your help.

The cremation will be €425.
The urn that mum and I chose was €194.
There are €45 costs of picking up Arwen and bringing back the urn.
And I don't know the vet costs yet, but I recon they may be around €238,75 (edited, I just got the bill).

#FediHelp Ello sweet and smart people of the federated webs :fedi:

I've been using Element for a while now, with an account that I made on Matrix.org.

When I got my new phone, it didn't accept the saved password for my account. I tried to retrieve it, by requesting a password reset email. I tried several times but never got that email. And yeah, I checked spam, and I'm sure I used the right email for the recovery attempt.

I made a new account, so I could at least chat in my group on my phone. But, it keeps asking me to verify my account. I have this key that it gave me. I tried to use that, but it wasn't accepted... 😔
I tried the "don't have other devices or the key", and it let's me create a passphrase. I enter that twice, it matches, and then I want to proceed, and I get an error code.

I keep getting notifications that I need to verify my new account. But... I'm a total n00b and I don't know how...

I'll try to install Element on my PC and try to login from there, to see if that can help...

I have some screenshots that I could share, if anyone would be willing and able to help me get this account verified.

I emailed matrix about the password recovery of my first account. I got an automated confirmation, but no reply since that... 😔

Thanks in advance for sharing your time and wisdom with me! :pixy_party:

Honest question, don't want to discuss anything except for the question...

Sorry, I know this sounds rude, but I'm very low on spoons, and would like to focus on what I am trying to explore.

:ablobcatheadphones:

I've been using Spotify for many years. Autistic me enjoys it, as it usually works as it should, and it has the music that I want.

But, I know Spotify has its flaws. And, I have a family account, so it's not just me, it's some other folks involved too.

I've been looking for alternatives. I wanna move away from the big names like Apple, Amazon, and YouTube. So... I found some very positive things about Tidal. And, it looks like they have a family plan as well. They seem to offer a service that could transfer my playlists as well, as I have many, and I would not want to make them all from scratch again.

There is a 30 day free trial for new folks on Tidal. And I would like to try it out... But, seeing things are a bit crazy here these days, and I'm low on spoons... I don't want to make a lot of effort and then be disappointed.

So, are there folks here that went from Spotify to Tidal?
If so, can you share your experiences?
Maybe you've switched from another provider to Tidal?
Please do share if Tidal is offering you what you expected...
And, can someone maybe tell mea bit more about their family plan? The info on the page is very limited, and I don't want to create an account just yet. First, I'd like to know a bit more about the service.

Thanks in advance! :bear_guitar: :bear_dance:

I is back!! :pixy_party:

Fankoos 🫶🏻 to all that boosted and replied to my #DareToAsk message about the treadmill. I managed to get it "away" from the side and it got closer to the middle. Yay! But I had a splitting headache yesterday, stress for all that I had to do... Getting ready for surgery, and getting an estimate for costs for getting the treadmill fixed... It didn't do me any good. But, getting the mill to shift back a bit after finding the helpful video, that did help me feel a lot better. 😊

I didn't do too much yesterday, as I just felt bläh a lot. My body was tired and my brain was busy. 😔 OK, I did do some chores but it didn't feel like I was doing enough. If that makes sense 🤔... I emptied the dishwasher, I folded and put away the laundry, I got the recycling to the shed...

Today I have physio, which is very welcome! And I want to visit a tire store in Cuijk, to make an appointment to get Skoosh her new all-season shoes. The summer ones she has are OK enough, but I want her to have all season ones. Also due to the rules in Germany, and as she goes there every now and then. 😊

And I'll need to visit Lidl on the way back home as well... Owww I also really need to hoover... Busy day, I guess... 😇

Let's see if I can get some exercises done now. 💪🏼

Catch you all in a bit when I have written my journal Toot!
