#noobie — Public Fediverse posts

@system76 as a long time Apple-based musician and web developer, who appreciates Apple’s push towards efficiency + performance, and who isn’t familiar with current PC specs, is the Meerkat middle tier very power hungry (comparing to say, a Mac mini M4 Pro)? Or would I need to look for an AMD based machine?

I want a small, powerful, efficient, user-serviceable machine that works out of the box… but I want to do it with Linux and not macOS anymore.

Advice? Thanks!

I posted my first #loops video and I'm still wrapping my head around how this works. Can someone confirm if they can view this video? I can't see it on my loops profile that I have followed from the Mastodon side.

Honestly this is evil enough Mastodon
itself should issue regular warnings.👈
Including importantly to new users, 👈
during the setup and joining process.👈

@fedicat Hi, just learning stuff at pixelfed. What are the double ## hashtags for? #noobie

Well hello Mastodon - let’s see what you have to offer

#noobie

#Mastodon #Admin help please.

I'm running my own instance with just 2 users. Admin and 1 real.

Checking my media usage I'm seeing this

Attachments: 18 GB (11.1 MB local)
Custom emoji: 74.5 MB (0 Bytes local)
Preview cards: 449 MB
Avatars: 2.02 GB (76.5 KB local)
Headers: 4.67 GB (98.7 KB local)

I tried tootctl media remove but that does not seem to remove the "non-local" attachments etc.

Am I missing something here?

@NoSheds @ukscone I just didn't know that's what I needed to do, I was cutting and pasting :) #Noobie

@YourNeighbor57 Hi, I’m a #noobie too, and I had the same question. The answer is No, and the reason is given in this article: https://blog.joinmastodon.org/2018/07/cage-the-mastodon/

I remember my first exploration into Second Life and building an avatar that looked like me. As I got to know the culture of that space my avatar shifted to 'reflect' who I am. I learnt to experiment, play and dance in that space.
So, a note to myself in this space, wonder around, listen and learn how to play here.
