Reflektion så här i efterhand:
idag på morgonen sa min son "pappa jag lämnar min mobil hemma i dag".
Mobilförbjudet i skolan är inte helt dumt ändå.
NU ska jag tillägga att skolan är bara en kort cykeltur. Så det är inte en lång resan dit. Det hade kanske varit annat om han skulle åka genom hela stan. Well well! -

Warum ich Sharkey (Misskey Fork) empfehle
Hallo Fediverse
Vorab, ich rate nicht von anderen Micro-Blogs wie Mastodon, Akkoma, GoToSocial etc. ab. Es gibt viele tolle Micro-Blogs im Fediverse und alle haben ihre Vor- und Nachteile. Was macht jetzt Sharkey so besonders für mich? Ich hatte einige Jahre parallel ein Glitch-Soc- (Mastodon Fork) und ein Sharkey-Konto. Andere habe ich zwischendurch ebenfalls getestet, GTS, Friendica, Akkoma, Hubzilla und weitere, die mich letztlich jedoch nicht gänzlich überzeugt haben.
Sharkey läuft sehr schnell und flüssig und spart massiv Ressourcen (Letzteres wichtig für Instanzen). Es hat tolle Funktionen, die leider nicht mit allen Micro-Blogs kompatibel sind, jedoch interessanter werden, wenn mehr Menschen Sharkey nutzen: Chats, Gruppenchats, Kanäle etc. Es gibt zwar keine voll kompatiblen Clients, doch das braucht es glücklicherweise nicht, die Weboberfläche funktioniert sehr gut und sieht sehr schön aus. Zudem kann man das Aussehen selbst konfigurieren und individualisieren. Es gibt viele Markdown-Funktionen, um Beiträge schöner und interessanter zu gestalten.
Im eigenen Profil lassen sich Galerien, Seiten und weiteres erstellen.
Warum dieser Beitrag?
Wenn in den Medien von alternativen sozialen Netzwerken gesprochen wird, hört man in der Regel von Mastodon oder einfach Fediverse als Überbegriff. Sharkey wurde, meines Wissens nach, noch nie wirklich erwähnt. Meiner persönlichen Meinung nach sehr schade, da mir Sharkey mehr bietet als die anderen.
Wer also noch nie etwas von Sharkey gehört hat, schaut es euch einfach mal an, und wenn euch Leute nach Alternativen im Fediverse fragen, erwähnt doch auch mal Sharkey. :sharkey: :fediverse:
Danke für eure Aufmerksamkeit und habt einen schönen Samstagabend.

Any Fedi Developers looking for a new project, or anyone out there looking to become one? While I can't afford to pay for a project, I do have one in mind that I can contribute a bit on the heavy side too, as well as handling everything but the coding.
And what is that project?
A Friendica based or inspired microblog with a more traditional interface, one added feature, and a lot of things stripped from it (kinda necessary to get a more traditional (think Mastodon/Wafrn/Diaspora/Etc) style front end).

Linux Microblog update:
I may have gone power-mad in the face of the astonishing options at my fingertips thanks to a used Dell Optiplex off of eBay and the support of the Debian community.

@manton , why is the alt text from #microblog not preserved when crossposting? Did I forget a setting?

Linux Microblog update:
My spouse fixed my other franken-rebuilt Dell Optiplex ProxMox node by editing a network config file to detect the new default card name that came with the new motherboard.
While their approach was simpler, faster, and less destructive, my approach...uh...required less planning.

Linux microblog update:
ProxMox (or maybe my network hardware) does not like when I swap harddrives onto different motherboards (and therefore different ethernet cards with new MAC addresses.)
I do this anyway because used old Dell Optiplexes tend to be... used...and old, and it can be a bit...dynamic...adding additonal storage to them.
Luckily reinstalling a ProxMox node from my USB key is quick, and now the node thinks it was born with this motherboard and ethernet card.

A reef isn't a single organism. Things settle where conditions suit them, and the substrate they share is what makes them a reef and not a scattering of unrelated lifeforms.
ActivityPub is that substrate. The Fediverse Beyond Mastodon series is complete. We published four posts about some of what's growing on it:
1. The microblogging platforms that aren't Mastodon: Misskey, Pleroma, Akkoma, Friendica, GoToSocial. Several predate Mastodon, and some were federating before ActivityPub existed.
2. The visual layer: Pixelfed, Loops, PeerTube. Your work sits on infrastructure you or your community control, and no ranking system decides who sees it.
3. The writing platforms: Ghost, WordPress, WriteFreely, Micro.blog, Plume, Flipboard. Each arrived at federation by a different route.
4. Forums, books, and music: Lemmy, PieFed, Mbin, NodeBB, Bookwyrm, Bandwagon.

Linux microblog update - I just used my computers this weekend, for personal computer stuff.
I didn't add remove, re-image, or rewrite anything.
I realize this is kind of a non-update.
Even as a non-stop command line guru, sometimes I just want a simple, stable PC to use.
Linux as my daily driver meets me where I am, and does a very crisp clean fast job at being a boring desktop for note-taking and web browsing.

Time for another Linux microblog update.
I wiped my PC and installed Commodore OS Vision 3.1. (Which now fits into about 9 Gb!)
It is a delight. Nowhere near as practical as the usual recommendations like Mint and Debian. But it makes up all it lacks with pure jot and style!
And it got me hooked on Slay Radio - home of Commodore 64 Remix music.

Unless you’re okay with supporting people who support billionaire fascists and their Nazi platform, avoid micro.blog.

The Programmer’s Fulcrum 10 July, 2026
This post originally appeared on The Fulcrum. Welcome to this week's The Programmer's Fulcrum. It's your weekly curation of the essential news in the Open Media Network and Fediverse development communities with a focus on devastating big tech via Techno Anarchism. As usual, we aim to provide actionable content you can use to destroy Techno Feudalism each week. It has the additional benefit of weakening authoritarianism. IMHO, the best way to do that is to use tools from the Techno […]https://newsletter.mobileatom.net/the-programmers-fulcrum-10-july-2026/

This week, we cover the writing layer of the fediverse: Ghost, WriteFreely, Micro.blog, Plume, WordPress, and Flipboard. Text was ActivityPub's first real workload, but these platforms didn't all arrive at federation the same way.
Ghost: a UK non-profit that funds Fedify (by @hongminhee) the framework its federation is built on. it's a publisher and a fediverse client at once, with an inbox as well as an outbox. Our newsletter is also powered by it, so @index is followable from any Mastodon app right now.
WriteFreely: one primary maintainer, Matt Baer (@matt), roughly 1,400 of 1,900+ commits, going since 2015. Funded by his own hosted product, Write.as.
Micro.blog: a Kickstarter By Manton Reese (@manton) that funded the platform before it had a single user. POSSE, native ActivityPub, and native Bluesky, no bridge.
Plume: a simple platform that also supported collaborative multi-author blogs. But no longer actively developed - it recommends WriteFreely and WordPress instead of itself.
WordPress: built-in ActivityPub (using plugin by Matthias Pfefferle - @pfefferle) plus a native AT Protocol plugin and real moderation tooling.
Flipboard: curating other people's writing rather than hosting its own.
Part 3 of the "Fediverse Beyond Mastodon" series.

The story of #microblog migration is reasonably okay esp. for masto-to-masto. Microblog content is relatively ephemeral, and its not too bad to leave your old content behind.
I left a sizable account @[email protected] behind, built around Humane Technology advocacy, which I later completely erased from that server. I also once erased the history of this account, to demonstrate the ephemerality, and that we shouldn't use #microblogging for valuable discussions we like an archive on, like #ActivityPub development.
For different domains, such as video apps like #Peertube, this is a different story, archiving more important. I recently found out that perhaps the ActivityPub Conference 2020 videos have been lost, where instance https://conf.tube redirects to @fossnorth channel at https://peertube.anduin.net/c/fossnorth/videos
No one is responding thus far. It's unclear who owned APConf channel at the time, who runs the new instance, and who runs #FOSSNorth.

Open Air
Nie powiem, że się znam, bo wiem, że nie. W końcu nie z takich studiów mnie wyrzucali.
Niejeden już udowodnił, że skoro woda w Chile się nie wygina, to Ziemia musi być płaska. A co bardziej zaangażowany kolega pokazał mi dowody na YT, więc to musi być prawda, ale…
…przez ponad 50 lat byłem w wielu miejscach świata, o różnych porach i z dziwnych powodów.
Zjeździłem tę Ziemię z powodów, których podawać tu nie trzeba…
Ale tak to nie bywało.
Nie tak, żeby przedwczoraj Zara Larsson występowała na scenie w półbikini przy 38°C, a na tej samej scenie dzisiaj The Cure musieli grać w czapkach przy 11°.
Ale tak to na świecie nie bywało.
I nawet jeśli woda jest płaska, a czapka z folii chroni przed falami, to coś tu jest chyba mocno nie tak.Jest 3 lipca, zaczęło lać… Czekam na śnieg.

Open AirI won’t pretend I know what I’m talking about, because I know I don’t. After all, I’ve been kicked out of tougher studies than that.
Plenty of people have already proved that if the water off Chile doesn’t curve, then the Earth simply has to be flat. And one particularly committed guy even showed me the evidence on YouTube, so it must be true, but…
…I’ve spent more than fifty years travelling this planet, at all kinds of times and for all sorts of reasons.
I’ve crossed this Earth for reasons best left unsaid…
But I’ve never seen it like this.
Not where, the day before yesterday, a Woman (Zara Larsson) could walk on stage dressed for 38°C, almost in a bikini, and then, on that very same stage today, the Gentlemen (The Cure) have to perform wearing beanies in 11° weather.
Didn’t stop them from throwing me out in the end…
But this isn’t how the world used to work.
And even if the Earth is flat and a tinfoil hat really does block the waves…
…something is seriously off.It’s July 3rd. It’s started raining. Now I’m waiting for snow.

Microblog: Threads App July 2026
For those of you that wish to follow me on the Threads app, my handle is @courtguinness.
#app #handle #Microblog #threads -
In my contant research for usesful pieces of #technology I've recently discovered an app called Reeder. Some of you may already heard of it because apparently it's been around for 15 years or so. What it does it pretty simple. It's an #RSS reader and also an aggregator for social profiles. The result is a clean, curated timeline that includes your preferred #rssfeed, posts from profiles on #Mastodon, #Pixelfed, #Microblog, #Bluesky and much more.
It's currently only available for Apple devices.
I'm liking it a lot because I can collect in there all the content I want to read/view and which do not require an interaction. Be they feed or profiles in the fediverse or somewhere else. -
Debian for the win!
My lovely little Chromebook now runs Debian.
