@feld

Ahhh - thank you for the clarification. I have it opened in a tab, and a racer style bicycle is on the background. I assumed your user name was a favourite bicycle brand; and considered if I should use my own fave as well, lol.

Thanks Feld!

** Pleroma - Finding the Good Instances, part 1 **

I was pleasantly surprised by the interest generated by my "Discover Pleroma. An alternative to Mastodon" -- write.tedomum.net/rgx/discover page. Various people contacted me, interested in trying out Pleroma, and asking for some recommended instances.

* Is it important, which instance you are in ? *

Yes, I believe so. And wrote a blog page about that *which is currently my most popular one* -- "Is it Important, which Instance you are in?" write.tedomum.net/rgx/is-it-im)

This will be Part 1, with detailed suggestions on finding and evaluating Instances, via Fediverse.network or Federation.info sites. I will walk thru the exact criteria I used on a personal search about 10 days ago, and the nice results found.

Part 2 will be separate to keep page size reasonable -- and will directly and clearly list Recommended Instances. Writing and posting it next!

As usual, I love Writing, and this is Long Form prose. Lavishly illustrated, References and links included. A Web Magazine page I am proud of.

That is the *** Topic of today's Blog *** -- write.tedomum.net/rgx/pleroma-

@zleap

I would see those as part of the Science umbrella, and have no problems with active users joining and adding quality content. They are welcome, imo.

Thank you, PV -- I have a tab open on BikeShed.Party as well. 😋

And am thinking of joining the instance too as I am a bicycle lover and touring cyclists. It could be a good home for a thematic blog announcement place. 👍

Part 1 of this is ready and released : muensterland.social/@rgx/10437

@globcoco Looking at the word count I am thinking I should stop at this point, wrap it up -- and follow on to the next post for the actual Instances listings with details.

The FAB family story, a listing of all of them, that will fill a nice page by itself.

Likely I will do that, 1100 words is already a long post.

Got to go back into editing and off the timelines! 😜

@globcoco Number 1 when I see b.s. at local timeline.

Number 2 when it gets too slow here, a good reason to have other instances and friends elsewhere too.

Wonderful Alex! Keep going, your work will make things here accessible to many that would not bother with the current alternatives.

You were probably asking igel, as sys admin, but I have been posting my new observer impressions with my alt account there -- @yann@jaegger.website in this thread too.

Much impressed. Lots of great ideas on simplifying complex things Fedi has, make them much easier for new people.

Opinions, noses, everybody has one. It looks "Beta", I will concede, but has potential.

Kudos for leaving it unlocked and allowing people to experiment BloatFE. Well done.

For those of us who love to watch the Blinken Lights.

Amazing. Live system stats, updating, and oh so pretty.

That is actually an intriguing layout -- way better than mastodon for example. Uses my wide display 100%.

Call me impressed that my brand new account avatar is already seen here at qoto; while my FAB one took ages to federate. Neat.

The Great Computer Programming Challenge 

Jesus and Satan have an argument as to who is the better programmer. This goes on for a few hours until they come to an agreement to hold a contest with God as the judge.

They set themselves before their computers and begin. They type furiously, lines of code streaming up the screen, for several hours straight.

Seconds before the end of the competition, a bolt of lightning strikes, taking out the electricity. Moments later, the power is restored, and God announces that the contest is over. He asks Satan to show his work. Visibly upset, Satan cries and says, “I have nothing. I lost it all when the power went out.”

“Very well,” says God, “let us see if Jesus has fared any better.”

Jesus presses a key, and the screen comes to life in vivid display, the voices of an angelic choir pour forth from the speakers.

Satan is astonished. He stutters, “B-b-but how?! I lost everything, yet Jesus’ program is intact! How did he do it?”

God chuckles, “Everybody knows… Jesus saves.”
