schmelle's blog

another dead-on-arrival blog, just like my last one

I run two instances of misskey and firefish on a server that I want to decommission soon, as I have no further need for it (except for misskey/firefish, but the server has too many ressources to justify its sole use by those two applications). This post will be continuesly updated as I struggle to migrate both installations to my mstdn.fun.systems server.

It will be fun. I'm sure of it.

Currently I host my Misskey and Firefish instances on their own server, which I want to cancel, so I need to move them to where my personal mastodon server lives.

Project name Source code Do I already host it for myself? Link to myself
Mastodon link Yes. mstdn.fun.systems
Misskey link Yes mk.zn.rs
Firefish link Yes ff.zn.rs
Pleroma [link] No
Pixelfed [link] No
Akkoma [link] No

What is a microblog?

See this answer over at the Akamai community questions or your own .local/bin/upgrade-mastodon which is based on that answer.

Maybe actually also include that stupid script.

#!/usr/bin/env bash
sudo -u postgres pg_dump mastodon_production > ~/mastodon_production.sql
sudo su
cd /opt/mastodon
git fetch --tags
git tag -l && git tag -l|tail -n1
git checkout $(git tag -l|tail -n1)
bundle install && yarn install
RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rails db:migrate
RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rails assets:precompile
systemctl restart mastodon-{web,sidekiq,streaming}

This is just a guideline and not meant to be run on its own.

I broke the mastodon instance set up to annoy my employer. It's good I don't care about hosting services consistently.

I have too many servers and too many bad ideas. Sometime this will backfire in a major way. Technically it already has backfired, but that is in the past and also was really stupid, and all services I currently run are not that stupid and illegal.

My WordPress blog also has the fediverse integration plugin installed but it doesn't work so good.

Most of these will probably be abandoned within a week and crash and burn in a year.

Oh well.

  1. Tetris Effect: Connected (generally, and especially for the Classic Score Attack mode)
  2. Tricky Tower (Tetris but with physics, I only play the Puzzle Challenge mode)
  3. Puyo Puyo Tetris (Tetris with anime voice actors)
  4. Tetris 99
  5. Dandy Dungeon -Legend of Brave Yamada- (Hikikomori Media on the brilliance of Onion Games)
  6. Crunchyroll*
  7. Koloro (delightful little puzzle game)
  8. Nekopara Volume 1-4 (it's cat girls galore!)
  9. What comes after (cute and not at all depressing)

*Games that are not games are not to be excluded

Really I only play Tetris Effect: Connected Classic Score Attack and Tricky Tower, it's all that keeps my mind going while listening to niche Australian comedy current events podcasts.

I am a simple man (he/him, cis). I see an ostensibly young woman on the fediverse (federated universe, decentralized social media) with a cute anime avatar and Japanese name, and I immediately wanna smash.

Now. I am very aware of my own limitations and the zero possible realities in which this scenario ever happens. But a man can dream! And read another raunchy manga on fakku (CW 18+)!

If I can't fuck that German-Japanese hafu, who can I fuck?

Prostitution is legal in Germany. There's a brothel down the street from where I work. I don't know their prizes, I've never been there. I also don't really wanna go there. Or to any brothel. Feels weird.

Unfortunately I lack the financial ressources to just order an escort to my home or a hotel.

This is hopeless. We will never fuck.

Yes.

CW for furious descriptions of male masturbation (tame)

Masturbation?

This is the most likely outcome. My masturbatory practices are twofold. I first jump on my dakimakura (currently dressed in Kirino Kosaka from Oreimo) and vigorously hump her for two minutes. Once I'm close to cumming, I get up and run to the bathroom where I jerk with some toilet paper and ejaculate.

This is my process.
