Do I remember someone mentioning a simple solution for preventing Mastodon instances from hammering a website when a link is posted?
(Might have slightly broken Mrs E's website, but I think it's recovered now.)

@iFixit (or anyone) would you happen to know if it's possible to remove the battery from a newer smartphone (say, a Samsung S20) and have it run only from power coming from usb? (End goal: run a phone as a server without the risk of an old battery exploding).
** Tariffs And The Bond Market**
Who would have thought that the international bond market was a 'co-equal branch' of the administration?
Are there alternatives to The Wayback Machine and archive.is ?
Google + Bing got rid of their cache feature. The Wayback Machine went down recently. Archive.is is owned by an anonymous owner and privately funded.
Fediverse, can you help? I'm growing weary of constantly fighting this fight in my campaign groups and seeking other effective articles and resources to tackle antifascists' justifications for remaining on Twitter and such because "we must go where people are." You can call it a Nazi bar, but their counter is "a bunch of us are still on there and we aren't Nazis." Sigh. Thanks in advance! #AskMastodon #AskFedi #Fediverse #FediPact #FuckElon #FuckZuckerberg @fedizine
Does RSS Parrot work?

Is it not strange that even after the mass proliferation of mobile phones and their cameras there has not been one credible image taken of the Himalayan Yeti? This leads me to think, what were people who reported sightings all those years ago actually witnessing?
Just learned about #openvide today. Did you give it a try? What's your experience like?

Is it possible to follow Bluesky accounts on Mastodon and vice versa even when the accounts have not set up a bridge?
Niche request. But have any of you got a photo of a goat perched on a capybara? #AskFedi #AskMastodon
Fedi, I know you are begging to answer this. What's a good #Linux distro for a retired non-techie who's only ever used windows?
I was just talking to my neighbor and he said he tried to upgrade from #windows 10 to windows 11 but got some message that his computer might not be compatible and might "lose services." If he can't upgrade to 11, I pitched him Linux as an alternative to buying a new computer because apparently support ends in October.
Anyone here upgraded thier electric home hot water tank to a heat-pump based unit? What kind of savings have you realized?
Feeling very social this morning. How're you doing? How's things? You doing anything cool lately?
I think it's time I ask the fedi hivemind about this...
I am looking for some news outlets about tech and gaming news that avoid politics, don't do clickbait and serve RSS.
I am most interested in both corporate ongoings (so I know what I may need to look out for at work) and noteworthy happenings at major FOSS projects in terms of tech news (but ideally without AI), as well as major game releases and indie projects as well as retro gaming-related news.

@tulsa I have some old books that are library editions. They were never sold as hardback versions but my library copies are hardback and have a sticker on the inside that lists them as "Bound to Stay Books" outside of Jacksonville, Illinois.
It seems like they took soft cover books all over the country and rebound them as hardbacks for libraries so they would be more durable.
As for places local to Tulsa though I have no idea unfortunately.
me he dado de baja de la suscripcion de #adobe de #acrobatpro una mierda menos, eso de que sea un contrato anual es un chantaje total y era carisimo.
Teneis alternativas #foss o casi gratis que aconsejeis para acrobat pro en #windows11 ?
I buy my digital music, mostly off Bandcamp, but I occasionally want something from a major label. Anyone know where I can buy a download with at least 266kpbs quality, that isn't Amazon or some other tech monolith?

Does anyone know why this is? Here's a post from my other account. When I view it from that account, I can see loads of faves and boosts, but when I view it from this account (I followed my old account just in case it was that), it only shows 7? Does this instance have a lot of others that it defederates from? Or is it some other reason?
