There are 16 cameras on the #NASA Orion Capsule including one on each of the four solar panel wings.

Some can record in 4K quality and will give us an amazing view of the upcoming flyby of the Moon on November 21st.

After coming within 100 km of the Moon, #Orion will go farther than any human-rated spacecraft has gone, then do another flyby of the Moon.

Then it'll return to Earth on December 11th, landing in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of San Diego.

What a day! Thank you #NewUsers for being patient and understanding what a strain Mastodon is under. The performance issues you experienced today are not normal. As you can see things are running more smoothly now.

What we saw is the incredible resilience of a distributed system. Admins all over the world responded swiftly, and will manage future growth challenges too.

These are incredible people trying to make our world a better place. Support your instance if you can.

There seems to be a lot of misconceptions about how to set up Mastodon.

1. You do not have to sacrifice a duck. Any waterfowl will do.
2. The bit about dancing around naked in a forest glade? While dancing is fun, you may just walk.
3. When the demon appears, you needn’t chant in Latin. It is fluent in all languages.

The rest of the guide is correct.

Self explanatory statements below. I have a theory on this.
Please boost if you take part
Thanks

I know it's soooo bad what Elon did to Twitter, really.

But I've been running this server for over 3 years now to flee Twitter and somehow it feels things are falling into place...

I have met such amazing and wonderful people here on the Fediverse that I consider my true friends no matter where they live❤️

The only thing I want is for you to have the same and here you have a chance do that just that!

Hi everyone! It looks as though we're receiving a spike in signups this morning. If this continues through the weekend, please be aware that slowdowns may occur at peak times.

We scaled up from under 1,000 users to over 14,000 the past week. We're currently waiting on new hardware to arrive in our hands to give us some headroom.

---

In other words: we've been working like clockwork since last week, and we're awaiting new systems to make sure your experience here is buttery smooth.

I don’t understand why people think Mastodon is difficult. It seems pretty straightforward, and the separate servers are no biggie. I’m enjoying this fresh start here, like moving to a new apartment!

PLEASE BOOST: Right now Mastodon is only receiving appr. $21,000/month through Patreon.

This is not enough to handle the 1 million new accounts that will be made this week.

Currently, only 4,720 patrons are donating to Mastodon.

However, if everyone chips in $2/month, this will ensure the continued survival of Mastodon!

Be a hero! Donate now! https://www.patreon.com/mastodon
