    Anyone know why this happens? When browsing a users Media tab (and my own).

    It seems to occur on multiple instances. I'm on an instance that is ported to GlitchSoc and I don't know if that affects it.

    Here's an old instance of mine which seems ok (but wondering if the data is cached)
    mastodon.cloud/@lukeharby/media

    Happens on my Android phone and Macbook laptop. Any pointers?

  5. What it's like being the technical one in your extended family, part no. 348...

    Actual conversation tonight:

    Me: Do you have anything in the dryer right now?

    Partner: No, why?

    Me: Because there's a bag leaning up against the dryer door that contains a partially-disassembled laptop that would really rather be on fire right now, so I was going to say if you have to move it, do so gingerly.

  7. Escalating again, to a 4th person ! (an "admin" this time, I will probably be saved soon).

    Had, again, to explain I'm not experiencing slowdowns but systematic and generalized 504 errors....

  9. Support finally saw my ticket
    - 1st person I spoke to only triaged my ticket
    - 2nd person just repeated questions I had already answered, before stating they weren't qualified to handle the problem and passing the ticket on to yet another technician
    - Technical support escalation still underway until this 3rd technician arrives...

    10 days of total outage. Would have been faster to migrate to another web hosting provider (and while at it, outside of US jurisdiction)...

  11. Könnte Mastodon.social nicht einfach generell Accounts abweisen, die sich im Namen Technical Support nennen? 🧐

    Zudem sind alle Phishing Posts nahezu identisch. Das ließe sich doch technisch lösen...

  15. Hey all--looking for career advice.

    I'm trying to become a Scrum Master or a Project Manager and am currently a "Technical Support Analyst I," which in my case means that I do a combination of Manual QA Release Testing and ticket queue work. However, I've been leading daily Stand Up and I help track the status and progress of various items the Development team is working on. I have had my current position for 2.5 years--I had one job before this, also in tech support, that lasted 1 year. So, in total, about 3.5 years of experience.

    I have a Scrum Master certification (Certified Scrum Master) from Scrum Alliance. Now what? Am I ready to apply for jobs, and if so, WHICH jobs? Do I apply for Scrum Master/Project Management roles, or should I be applying to something else as a stepping stone to get there? Do people even hire Scrum Masters anymore? If not, should I be focusing on Project Management instead, and if so, how do I pivot to Project Management?

    If it helps, I have a bachelor's degree in Computer Science.

    Please boost! I have no idea what I'm doing. All I know is that I'm trying to make enough money to survive and we're just not there yet.

  16. Question for the technical more affine!
    Is there a safe and easy way around geoblocking on Youtube?

    This may be a long shot... But maybe someone on the Fedi knows...

    I have a treadmill. The tread needed adjusting. I checked the booklet. I checked the video. I did as was told. And... I messed up somehow... :parrot_sad:

    If I want someone to repair it for me, they want €150. I don't have that money! Not even a small part of it. All my money goes to Arwen these days...

    Is there anyone on Fedi that has experience with treadmills? That can easily talk me though this, in plain and simple words, so that I could maybe fix this myself (with their help)...

    I am not technical. And this made me very insecure. But I want to fix this without needing to sell a kidney to be able to afford the costs...

    If anyone would be able to talk me through it.... I can give more details on make and model then...

    Please boost :boosts_ok_gay: so that, hopefully, this message will reach a handy person that is willing and able to help me with this....

    Thanks in advance!

  19. #Cloudflare has the absolute worst #CustomerService and #TechnicalSupport of any Company on the internet. Their level of "don't give a shit" that they have for their customers is obscene.

  20. So, here's one for the #linux nerds and computer geeks, tell me what's wrong with my HD and if'n it's fixable. External SSD, EXT4 formatted, works fine on Linux, albeit a bit slow to mount, but both #android and #osx say the drive is unreadable. While I'm not sure about OS X, I do know Android is compatible with EXT4, so I'm at a loss as to what's wrong and how to fix it. Long run I might replace the drive with an external M2 unit, but not sure.

  22. My take on technical support years ago was that users could be expected to ask mostly questions they cannot find in documentation.
    This was based on opensource ethics, and still seems reasonable there.

    But for commercial support, my take has shifted.

  25. Want to enjoy your job in more? Learn how to deliver even the worst news ("this is out of scope") in a way that gets great reviews anyways.

    Hint: a person who *feels* heard and valued is WAY less likely to react negatively.

  26. Me: "Your client portal isn't working -- keeps saying 'technical difficulties'"

    Them: "You should try a different browser"

    Me "Hmm. No. It's 2024: Fix your shit."

  27. Mal eine Frage an die Techies:
    Ich bin hier mit #Firefox unter Linux Mint (21) unterwegs. Im FF habe ich die Rechtschreibprüfung aktiviert und auf Deutsch gestellt. Wenn ich nun hier auf bonn.social einen Tröt eingebe, geht FF immer davon aus, dass ich Englisch schreiben will und streicht mir jedes Wort als Fehler an. Auf anderen Websites funktioniert das auch. Was kann ich da tun?

  28. iOS 17.5 makes it less of a hassle to send your iPhone into Apple for repairs arstechnica.com/gadgets/2024/0

    iOS 17.5 introduces a new repair state mode, streamlining the process of sending your iPhone for repairs to Apple. This feature aims to reduce the inconvenience associated with fixing your phone, ultimately enhancing the user experience.

  29. So I just reinstalled #tusky on my phone.. and I will be damned if I can find the option to turn on the federated timeline option (got "home", "notifications", "local" and "messages").

    Used to be an option under preferences > tabs - but there are only three sliders there. No plus button, no relevant sub-menu...

    Did something change? Swear I cannot see anything in the release notes. :/
