I think I am confused about how hashtags work over here. I followed a hashtag, but I do not see the posts in my Home. What exactly does following a hashtag do, if not putting them into my feed? Also, I am not sure where to find what tags I am following... #mastodon

@louis I see, that makes sense. Will need to reserve some time one day to go and explore what all is out there :)

Hm, how do I keep track of posts of someone without having them on Home tab? I can create a list, but it seems I can only put people I already follow there? Is it possible to hide specific accounts from the Home? #mastodon #needhelp #techsupport

@louis There is "Hide these posts from home" slider on the list setting page. I don't understand how I managed to miss it... :( I turned that on and will see if it does what it sounds like it would do.

@coolboymew I use https://vpsfree.cz/, because it is a community project, but does not fit the "cheap" if you just need a static website. Otherwise I was fairly happy with vultr.com when I used is as a proxy for crunchyroll. But that is a long time back. Hetzner looks reasonable, but I hope their network for VPSes is bit more stable then for dedicated machines (we had bad experience).For static content you can probably just pick by cost pretty much.

I have to admit I am somewhat confused my #mastodon 's model. If I follow someone, and they boost some post from an instance that is blocked by this instance, I just see nothing. I would have expected some "post blocked by site admin" message or something instead of the post in the timeline. Seems like only option to not miss (not see, but know the posts/boosts even exist) is to register on their instance? Because it seems that following here (I can, their account is accessible), does not fulfill that goal. Am I missing anything?

Hm, are there any #mastodon clients (in browser ideally) that would allow me to side step this whole issue and for passive consumption just "follow" people directly based on their public page regardless of instance blocks (since it would not be using any instance)?

I tried to sign up to #matrix today. The process is.. not fun. Maybe it is the web client, maybe it is the matrix, but it took multiple tries and VPN hopping due to some errors about too many requests. And when I get into it, it seems the client is not able to be opened in multiple tabs at the same time? Like, what the actual fuck. Is there some command line client that would fit both "lightweight" and "working" definitions?

I *finally* have a reasonably looking #emacs setup to render #japanese writing in a reasonable size. What I wanted was to have English text at a normal size (-13), and Japanese text larger (#kanji are complex). The most naive way of (set-fontset-font) with :size does work, but, and that is annoying, disables scaling for the font with text-scale-adjust (also known as C-mouse wheel). Fortunately there is an another approach that works fine.Lot of time was wasted today.(add-to-list 'default-frame-alist '(font . "DejaVu Sans Mono-13"))(add-to-list 'face-font-rescale-alist '("Noto.*CJK" . 1.2))(dolist (script '(kana han cjk-misc symbol)) (set-fontset-font t script (font-spec :family "Noto Sans Mono CJK JP")))

@louis We considered this approach as well, and the limiting factor seems to be tooling. How to properly version the code? How to deploy it? How to rollback? How to make sure you have the same version in all instances of your database? How to do monitoring? Logging? Testing? For all these questions, these is an answer in the form of tooling for the "traditional" container-based applications, however for deploying, reviewing, developing, ... the store procedures, there does not seem to be widely used option (assuming there even is).There is an other approach, you could still have traditional application, and just ditch the ORM and write SQL by hand. For golang, there is also sqlc, which seems to be fairly reasonable generator (basically just making golang functions from your SQL code, ensuring type safety).Just to be clear, I am not saying "do not do it", do what you want :) I am just putting out there what did work for us.Also, if you want to go full crazy, there is also a PostgREST: https://postgrest.org/en/stable/ :)

@louis I am pretty much using single screen as well, but not a laptop one. I have only 14 inch form factor, and that is too small to work with in a "desktop" setup. So the single screen I am using is external monitor, helps with the ergonomics.

I think I have no idea how #mastodon works. I have a list with posts from some people. It currently has (/me checks...) 6 posts. However when I go to the profiles of the users whose posts should go in there, I see way more. Does anyone know what might be wrong and how to actually get all posts into the list?

And other list is just completely empty. I have no idea what is going on.

@BeAware Thanks for the reply. Actually only posts present on the list are (some) boosts by one of the people on the list. These accounts I have on the list pretty much just boost posts of others.When I say "go to their profile", I mean viewing it via my instance.So I am afraid I still do not understand, I would expect to see in the list either all boost or no boosts, but seeing just some feels inconsistent.

@civodul I mean, while true, isn't it bit too simple way to put it? My understanding is that Guix does not need SAT solver because basically any single dependency is hard-coded version (via its package definition).If your pip --freeze produced requirements.txt is full of only pkg==1.2.3 style records, you also technically do not require SAT solver to figure it out, no?Actually, *most* linux package manager do not require SAT solver no? At least pacman and apk do not have it afaik. Which one does out of curiosity?
