As you may be aware I’ve been Mastodon for a while - I actually run two small instances, one will be closing shortly, hence this post.

When upgrading some of my servers to Ubuntu 22.04 earlier this year I noticed the Web UI for Glances was broken, didn’t do much investigation at the time, assumed it was a dodgy update or known compatibility issue that would be sorted in time.

Just my quick notes on installing Pixelfed using Docker Compose, long term I’d like to write this up into a proper guide.

I must admit, I’m starting to get a little buried under the number of features being added to Microsoft Edge.

One of the new features in the development build of Edge at the moment is this Discover button, for some users its a purple star, for others its got the Bing logo, and as expected connects to a wide range of Bing services, including the new Chat AI.

Please note: This entire article was written by Bing Chat AI assistant after asking it to write a blog post about itself and talk about some of its features.

Just some quick notes on this - as everytime I setup a new server I forget some steps!

I’ve noticed a lot of new Mastodon server admins struggling to get Mastodon, either inside or outside of Docker, to properly work behind an Apache reverse proxy.

Tesco have introduced fees to use their electric vehicle chargers!

This week I’ve been experimenting with getting a Mastodon instance up and running and the best way of doing this.
