@wim_v12e It takes a while for the followers to transfer. Not every instance processes the request to transfer a follower immediately.

@jgoerzen I spotted some people were trying to define structured data format over email.https://structured.email/in a form intended to carry application/ld+json which I believe is what activity streams serialized as.Which leads to the silly possibility of activity streams messages over usenet messages.

A new level of suck in the world.I got a call from a voice saying they were from Consumer something... and said:"Their records indicate I was making my credit card payments and had more than $7000 in debt.Is that true?"And I said "I don't answer personal questions over the phone".And they tried again, but they seemed a bit off, so I asked "Are you a human".And they said "I am a virtual assistant".So in anger I said "Fuck off and die robot" and they hung up on me.I wish I had remembered to say "put this number on your do not call list" first.

@afilina I've used peertube as a viewer.I like that I can paste a peertube url into my mastodon search box and like or comment on a post without having to create an account at the other site.Like with most distributed technologies finding stuff is harder.@FediFollows posts links to interesting peertube accounts for various topics.

@dilmandila FWIW, Debian still builds disk images (for a few sizes of disk) that have the whole stable distributionhttps://www.debian.org/CD/There's also a tool apt-zip that can be used to help use removable media to shuttle updates between the place with network connectivity to the machines that need updates.

@dilmandila Also if you're interested in making it easier manage files and synchronize stuff without continuous internet @jgoerzen has written a bunch about synchronization tools that can work over removable media or short range LANs.One of the core tools is something called nncp, and it has a tag on his bloghttps://changelog.complete.org/archives/tag/nncpHe's used it to do things like synchronize git repositories https://changelog.complete.org/archives/10274-distributed-asynchronous-git-syncing-with-nncpOr provide email that can work over removable media or when a mobile device happens to be in range.https://changelog.complete.org/archives/10768-announcing-the-nncpnet-email-network
