I'm going through CSS: The Definitive Guide by O'Reilly, published in 2017 and I got this along with other O'Reilly books from a humble bundle back in Nov 2017. I'm using an incremental reading method to go through this book. O'Reilly really live up to their reputation for being awesome compsci books - I finished first chapter and it covered even the most obscure ways of doing things, such as linking stylesheets from Apache .htaccess. O'Reilly is well worth the money especially if you see any special bundle sales.
#QOTO's Funkwhale instance surpassed 300 gigs already and is half way to 400 gigs! That is more audio than most people could listen to if they tried!
Thanks everyone for your contributions, keep it up!
All #QOTO features on our Mastodon server are back up except for Math rendering. We fixed that in the beta instance and will be bringing it up on the main server sometime in the next 24 hours.
Everyone refresh your browsers if your on #QOTO!
Second Update, this time to the CSS is done. #QOTO should be back to looking as nice as always.
MathJax is temporarily down as I fix a issue with it. I will announce when it is back up. Might be later today.
Shortly #QOTO will do a minor update to fix some of the CSS issues introduced int he latest update. Down time should be unnoticeable but just want to warn everyone just in case.
#QOTO is back up safely post-upgrade. Going to cleanup some CSS that ooks a bit off since the upgrade but otherwise everything seems to be working.
QOTO is now on the QOTO variant of v2.9.3 of Mastodon. Enjoy!
Still one of my favorite #Astrophotography shots I ever took. It shows the core details of The Great Nebula in Orion. You can even see the 4 separate stars in the trapezium.
Stone walls do not a prison make,
Nor iron bars a cage:
Minds innocent and quiet take
That for an hermitage.
If I have freedom in my love,
And in my soul am free,
Angels alone, that soar above,
Enjoy such liberty.
-- To Althea, from prison (last stanza only)
I want to thank everyone for your patience. As many of you know we have been redoing the entire QOTO architecture. This included many new services for our users (all free!) but also some very big changes.
It took us some time to move over to the new infrastructure plus our founder, Jeff, was in the hospital for about 9 months and that seriously slowed us down.
However the latest version of QOTO's variant of mastodon has been beta tested and is ready to go. We will begin the upgrade of the official server tomorrow evening.
As always the QOTO server will include all our usual additions to the code base and MathJax support will be reenabled on this upgrade as well.
We will update the community with the exact time of the upgrade sometime tomorrow once we know. But expect it to be in the middle of the night for both Europe and USA time zones.

What a mature way of ending a discussion guys! 🤝

@Gargron can you tell me if the vagrant file int he mastodon source repo is still valid? I've been trying to get it or a docker container up to test my code changes but am having limited success. Vagrant image errors.
It's #InternationalDogDay 🐶
