catodon 26.10.0-dev.0
I'm trying out Catodon here, and then after about three weeks I ended up installing it on a Raspberry Pi 5B SSD running the latest Raspberry Pi OS. It's good.
@u0421793@toot.pikopublish.ing@catodon.rocks is me there

Personally I really welcome gatekeeping. Who wants people around who have a gate but can’t keep it – “oh I’ve lost my gate, again”. Useless! If you’ve got a gate, just bloody well keep it. Don’t lose it, don’t give it away, hang on to it. Having a gate is a privilege – look after it. What do you think a gate is for? Opening, then shutting. That’s what. If you’ve lost your gate, you’ve got nothing to open and shut. Visitors to your house have nothing to open and then shut. People need something to open and then shut behind them. If you have a gate, you’re providing a service, you need to keep your gate - don’t just lose it like a fool. Keep your gate. Gates are meant to be kept.

@hellocatfood@post.lurk.org this, about a decade ago, I did with a large Manfrotto 458B tripod with which could remove the riser from and mount it across, so parallel to the table. (That particular tripod longer exists, it pinched my hand very painfully).

This one, about five years ago, I used what I now have, a Manfrotto 190 (one of which I used to have back in the 90s) and I also have a Manfrotto crossbar mount from back in the 1980s, which allows me to get overhead quite sturdily.
https://youtu.be/pj6HT0maVW4
This one, even more recently, I didn’t have the space on the desk or floor in this particular room to set up the Manfrotto tripod (which needs quite a big spread of area for the legs) so I embarrassingly used a microphone boom stand! The camera for this was tiny, a Raspberry Pi 3A+ with Raspberry Pi High Quality camera and a Pentax C-mount lens, all of which was quite light so the mic boom didn’t sag (much).

Now I don’t have the space available to live stream at all so I stopped it, but when I get going again I want to have some sort of overhead arrangement that doesn’t take up a large base area on the floor, and I don’t have a solution for that as yet.
My catodon has stopped working on my own instance so I’m back here today. I don’t know what the problem is, I’ll have to sort it out when I get the time. I discovered my ddclient was all set up but ddclient itself was never installed, and when I installed it the setup wasn’t correct, it is now. So my internet numbers must’ve stayed the same since January and only changed yesterday afternoon for some reason. The rest of the domain works, now, but toot.pikopublish.ing doesn’t any more. The catodon itself works internally, so it’s not that. This shit is all too complicated so it’ll have to wait until I get a spare half an hour to look at it, maybe over the bank holiday.

@panos@catodon.rocks by the way, in RSS, this list can’t scroll
Tonight I will mainly be posting during Top Of The Pops from my own catodon instance - @u0421793@toot.pikopublish.ing _( @u0421793@toot.pikopublish.ing )_ to see how it goes. It’s a better Raspberry Pi5B 8GB than the previous iceshrimp instance was running on (which was a Raspberry Pi4B running the older Raspberry Pi OS, not the latest one, which probably makes no difference). The old one ran on an SSD via a SATA-USB3 lead, this one has an NVME SSD in an NVME board underneath, which should be better.
Hopefully it’ll all be seamless. If not, you’ll be the first to know. Well, second to know. Well, everyone will know. Yes, even birds.
By the way if anyone wants to try a second fediverse instance that isn’t mastodon, I can solidly recommend this new Catodon on this flagship instance catodon.rocks - give it a try, I’m sure you’ll enjoy it. #TOTP
Hi @panos@catodon.rocks I have an idea - in the search, by far the greatest amount of my searches are to search myself in my own account.
I know it’s possible to do that as is (as I always do) but, if beside the ‘search’ button there were another twin ‘search me’, it’d save about three taps each time.
Am I the only one who searches myself more than any other search? 🔍
What overlap is there between fediverse and xmpp (if any)?
