Here's a reminder that you can block hashtags on Mastodon. I'm pretty consistent about tagging politics, typically with USpol or ScottPolitics or both, but also topical tags such as IranWar2026 and POTUS47. If you don't want to see those types of toots, then I encourage you to block them.
I don't CW all generic politics posts. This topic too much to fully explain in 500 chars, but short version: I use CW for spoilers and topics that are commonly trauma-triggering.

Periodic reminder for people interested in #HomeLab and #SelfHosting
There is a @… bot that replaces the old gup.pe homelab bot.
Mention it in your homelab or self hosting posts and it will boost them. Follow it to see all the homelab posts it boosts that may not normally get federated to your instance.
For those who don’t know, these bots exist because when you look for a a hashtag, your server only checks the posts that have been federated to it.
In order for a message to be federated to your server, the author (or one of the people boosting it) have to be followed by someone on your server. If no one touching the message is being followed, it’ll never get federated to your server and you won’t see it.
Hashtags are great for finding messages, but only messages that were federated to your server. They don’t help message propagation.

Very interesting to see the results of Swiss dynamic network tariffs: performing as they should, with savings for both the user and the grid.
Prosumers effectively shift heavy loads out of the evening grid peak and absorb the solar peak at midday.

The graph shows the price and grid load throughout the day
-13.7% savings for customers on a dynamic grid tariff compared to a standard tariff.
-6.7% reduction in PV injection without explicit PV curtailment
-14.0% reduction in evening peak
Estimated DSO savings per customer and year: 300 Franks

Periodic reminder for people interested in #HomeAssistant
There is a @… bot that replaces the old gup.pe home assistant bot.
Mention it in your homeassisitant posts and it will boost them. Follow it to see all the #homeasistant posts it boosts that may not normally get federated to your instance.
There’s also @… - follow that and it will automatically boost everything you post with #homeassistant without you having to remember to mention the bot.
For those who don’t know, these bots exist because when you look for a a hashtag, your server only checks the posts that have been federated to it.
In order for a message to be federated to your server, the author (or one of the people boosting it) have to be followed by someone on your server. If no one touching the message is being followed, it’ll never get federated to your server and you won’t see it.
Hashtags are great for finding messages, but only messages that were federated to your server. They don’t help message propagation, but these bots will.

This one has been on my watchlist as well, it should be on yours, too. I need to get off my ass and finally watch it. (Sinners too)

First time I've tried to update my blog from a moving train. It doesn't work well, but what's astonishing is that it works at all.
If you don't get a 404 at this address, then I've succeeded.

When we later asked them about their stances on hybrid and remote work, manager's answers didn't correlate with how much they trusted their employees or how much they loved being around people.
The only trait that consistently predicted objections to remote work was narcissism
