@dirtycommo every single time we've had a daily stand-up meeting over Microsoft Teams, there's been an entirely new bug that breaks everything for at least one person.

As in, a never-before-seen bug that grinds the meeting to a halt every single day.

New blog post: Installing Ghost the hard way

I get angry about a trend in server hosting and software development and go on a petty crusade to rectify one particular instance of it. Also, I ramble about a blog... on a blog.

New episode about LIbre Lounge covering a different approach for how to mitigate spam, abuse, etc on the federated social web (and why other currently considered approaches aren't a sufficient foundation), moving towards "networks of consent" https://librelounge.org/episodes/25-managing-spam-and-hate-speech-on-the-fediverse.html
