Fediverse ActivityPub notes 3 - by default Mastodon search allows only a single keyword match :/ - by enabling advanced web interface (works only on desktop), one can use multiple hashtags!! - howto overview: - search for first hashtag - pin results - from options of pinned results select ‘additional tags’ - use any/all/none conditionals with up to three hashtags each - related bug/feature_request: https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/6287

Q. Are these rims safe to use if i dress up and smooth out the damage? Dont care about looks too much - just safety.
followup:
After discussing with engineer friends, gear heads and car nuts, I determined these are salvageable. A determined #diy hour later with 6" grinder and a heavy duty scotch brite wheel removed all stress risers. Now on to iso, alodyne, distilled water, wipe and paint.

Cheap Avgas at Marina for $5.30/gal, stopped by their pilot lounge which is first class and then BLT for me at Watsonville. Seems everyone is in the air between the rain storms :)

Fediverse ActivityPub notes 2/2 - following is as much a sign of shared interest, as a mechanism to enable flow of posts between instances for benefit of all FOO users - boosting allows posts from FOO unknown user to propagate to FOO via another user who is already in X - mastodon RSS feed for each user is https://instance/@user.rss - searching hint: visit http://mastodon.social mastodon.social , search for posts with similar interest and follow users on your instance

Fediverse ActivityPub notes 1/2 - Fediverse are federated servers exchanging data using ActivityPub protocol - think email or web+rss - a server instance FOO can have N local users following X users on other instances - server FOO will index all posts from both N and X users - all indexed posts are hashtag searchable - to gain access to more content, any of N users can follow new X users

I’ve long been critical of social media, corporate heavy handed oversight and centralized power and influence. With FB and Instagram randomly blocking and unblocking my access due to their ineptitude (as I don’t post anything there so shouldn’t get blocked), I decided I can’t rely on their convenient services even for keeping in touch. Back to email (+PGP), phone calls, open web and federated services (ie. all of the above).

Pilot Ham. I was initially interested in APRS to replace Spot Tracker to let my family know where I am when flying. When taking my Technical exam the proctor asked if I want to try taking the General since I did well… I said no, “All I need is Technical for APRS”. Three years later I’m attending 2m nets, learning CW, exploring Packet and thinking of using Winlink over HF.
