       ⚠️  Read before upgrading your #Framework 13 AMD to the new 3.07 BIOS ⚠️ @frameworkcomputer is pushing out the 3.07 firmware upgrade despite beta testers reporting bugs in battery charging management: they bundled important security fixes with a beta-quality "automatic battery extender" algo that is a clear regression from (and disables) the simple battery levels feature from 3.05. More details on this issue. You might want to wait for the dust to settle before upgrading.Despite promises to improve last year, their communication and transparency around BIOS releases is sadly not inspiring confidence.

       While I love the #BloomScrolling and #CatsOfFediverse / #CatsOfMastodon tags, they are too high-traffic for my linking. I set up a gaggle of robots at https://digest.xvello.net that each boost one post at random every hour. This allows me to get a taste of these tags without overwhelming my timeline.For #BloomScrolling: @BloomScrolling1, @BloomScrolling2, @BloomScrolling3 and @BloomScrolling4 each boost one post every hour, 15 minutes appart. You can follow one or several, to adjust how much flaura you want to see.For #CatsOfFediverse and sibling tags: @CatsOfFediverse1, @CatsOfFediverse2, @CatsOfFediverse3 and @CatsOfFediverse4 run a similar schedule.The posts are sourced from #FediBuzz, filtered by a simple daemon that ensures that alt-text is present and filters out sensitive contents. The bots are hosted on a #snac instance.I'd love your feedback on it, and suggestion of tags to add next.

       @passthejoe @beachcomber #snac is as setup-and-forget as can be, but ActivityPub is a very chatty protocol so there's no silver bullet:snac does not cache remote media at all while GTS defaults to 7 days, but you can tune it down to save disk spacesnac uses the filesystem as the database, which means a lot of small files and symbolic links. If you want to be disk-efficient, you want to store the snac folder on a filesystem with a small block size. Compression might help since it's json.
