it’s pronounced “ashling”. canonically a black housecat or any of the grass cat pokémon, but currently experiencing daily TFs. Commewnist. she/it
GlitchCat syscatmin and meowstodev; @ me about techincal problems with the instance, or fur feature requests. i got a job due to some extent to my work on this instance
i have very strong opinions about the sonic furanchise. pokémon has me in a chokehold when it comes to merchandise

been three years since we first created an account on the fediverse but now that we co-admin an instance, i guess it’s time for some #introductions
we’re cat æscling, a fluffy black cat providing the technical infrastructure for the cat.family insurance. (@ us if you’re curious about the kind of shit we get up to in the service of that goal!) let us (or your admins) know if you run into technical problems with this instance; for any other issues, please go to @Lady
we’ve been using mastodon fairly quietly for a while now, keeping up with friends and posting over-off thoughts and such, often on private. you’re free to follow, but as we like to keep our home timeline small, we’ll probably not follow back
i’m tryïng to remember why we joined the fediverse in the first place my best guess is really just the same kind of motivation that led us to use (s/)qmail instead of postfix; we just like smaller weirder things. also we were lonely as FUCK
been a little over three years since when i first created a mastodon account
there was a pretty bad CVE which thankfully had been fixed already in the version we’re currently running
no changes that affect my use case but i’ll get around to it, ideally tonight
ah FUCK s/qmail just released an update
i know something about federation doesn’t allow username changes that remote servers don’t see as a new account
do i remember correctly that masto federation looks up accounts by acct instead of by the numerical id
i am actually running a qmail fork in production in 2021
yeah i could just use pinafore still but i want to actually use local only posts and such
pinafore lets you turn that off and i miss that
have i missed something, or can you not turn off the notification count on the bell in the little navigation menu in the masto front end

Now that federation appears to be working 🤞, be advised that I am the (public-facing) admin of this instance 😅
anyway i finally did the obvious feature where if i have headers for a particular domain and override headers for a particular resource, non-overriden headers from the domain are still used
k i just updated my webserver which happens to be redirecting webfinger (after Actual Proper Testing in a separated environment, for once), so, as the tech cat here, lmk if federation herefrom or -to is broken somehow
gonna have to set up a proper test environment
