Oh, nice btop is finally in Fedora. If you haven't tried btop yet, I recommend it!

Speaking of fediverse clients -- if you like to stay within the terminal, you can always use toot (https://github.com/ihabunek/toot).

I'm still bummed about Husky. 😭 I hope someone picks it up and continues work on it. #huskyapp

All restarts and reboots are done and everything is running in enforcing mode. If you notice anything that's not working correctly, please report. #selinux

I have riscv envy -- I should have called "b4" "biv". It would have certainly made it easier to track mentions on lore, as "b4" matches all the hex dumps.

FYI: this instance may get a bit unstable in the next few hours as I'm going to turn the pleroma selinux policy into enforcing mode. There should be no lasting outages, but you may see an occasional availability blip.

Another good option that works well for me is to just use the Hermit app and to set up your pleroma instance as a lite app. The UI looks great (and you can filter your timelines), but you don't get notifications. Though this may be a bonus, actually.

Unfortunately, I just found out that the upstream developer of Husky doesn't have time to continue working on the app, so please consider using either Tusky or Fedilab.

If you're looking for an Android app, I recommend Husky. Tusky or Fedilab work fine, too.

If you're in the MAINTAINERS file, you can have a social.kernel.org account (but only if you need one -- no need to go around collecting fediverse accounts if you don't intend to use them). Send a request to helpdesk@kernel.org.

Looks like account aliases and migration were implemented in the upcoming pleroma-2.5 release.

So, unfortunately if you're moving from Mastodon, there is no easy street to take here (yet).

Test, test, looks like I managed not to murder it?

I confess that I don't really like Fedora Silverblue, but it's purely because I feel all of its immutable features make it super difficult for me to tinker with my OS. I just want a regular setup where partitions are partitions and mounts are mounts, and changing resolvers and /etc/hosts is straightforward.

This is just my personal take on it, though -- if you're happy using a browser and flatpaks for all your apps, then by all means, use Silverblue.

OK, the goal today is to make pleroma run within the SELinux confinement.

In the meantime, if you already have a kernel.org account and really want to be a guinea pig for this instance, please send a request to helpdesk@kernel.org -- just expect that things may be occasionally down while I complete the backend setup to be properly config-managed and not cowboyed together.

The social.kernel.org instance is up and running, but I still have a lot of technical debt to do on the backend before I make it available for others. It may go up and down without warning in the meantime.

Please be patient -- I will follow up once I have everything ready for others.

Penguins are social creatures. It only makes sense that we should offer a way for penguins to talk to each other.
