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
there was a pretty bad CVE which thankfully had been fixed already in the version we’re currently running
i know something about federation doesn’t allow username changes that remote servers don’t see as a new account
yeah i could just use pinafore still but i want to actually use local only posts and such
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
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
available via email and matrix with the same username and domain. DM/message/email for other protocols
workplace policy is to clarify that all of my opinions expressed here are my own, and not those of my employer
