Does anybody want to help me slyest out the pixelfed instance I just spun up? I corrected the email & login issues, but would like to add some ppl to sign up & see if things are working or broken, so I can get this setup for production. Send me a DM and I'll send you the link if you're interested. https://cdn.nostrcheck.me/ef7f31b0012cd51e6c2cfbc296316c21e6e2ace431d29f3eb5a4fadc6dc372fa/f7d3d6a647a3e5317732ada394be0e8421a252d037e1daecdddcfa32da129ca2.webp

I forgot to post this last night, but during dinner, Hurricane Maggieā„¢ passed TF out while chewing her bone. She is such a cute lil baby, buy what a crazy floppy bundle of nervous biting energy. Sheesh. Our other dogs are 8 and 9 so we haven't seen the puppy phase for awhile... https://cdn.nostrcheck.me/ef7f31b0012cd51e6c2cfbc296316c21e6e2ace431d29f3eb5a4fadc6dc372fa/ac27c37676164d72404f3b2facb7546916c671d8f770c3a47fcf83c9c08cb484.webp https://cdn.nostrcheck.me/ef7f31b0012cd51e6c2cfbc296316c21e6e2ace431d29f3eb5a4fadc6dc372fa/0ab608d6b5c67034bb3cdd3467251aa07deed15570f6aec8f458825653aea78d.webp

Mark this post. If things remain the same the outlook 10 years from now is a 35% tax burden on regular ppl.

Tariffs jack up prices, slow growth, hike taxes, and squeeze consumers. Higher costs, weaker economy, and a heavier burden on your wallet. Protectionism ain't the move. #Inflation #Tariffs https://cdn.nostrcheck.me/ef7f31b0012cd51e6c2cfbc296316c21e6e2ace431d29f3eb5a4fadc6dc372fa/7deaf933bd925c16e9eef15f3cb735732530039eff5b2dbb42bd2537ccb507e2.webp

This is happening... I'm having a little trouble setting up the instance on the server to allow SMTP emails to be sent through my domain. It's a tricky setup it seems. Anywhoo. I hid the subdomain, but if you find it and register, you won't get an email, & won't be able to sign in. https://cdn.nostrcheck.me/ef7f31b0012cd51e6c2cfbc296316c21e6e2ace431d29f3eb5a4fadc6dc372fa/f7d3d6a647a3e5317732ada394be0e8421a252d037e1daecdddcfa32da129ca2.webp

This is negative Google "news".

It's a pretty degrading product review of the phone I ordered last week. Go figure. Google sells phones too. Just saying.

Since the Broligarchs are concentrating their evil into TX, maybe we can encourage them to finally secede. Abbott has been courting foreign govts for help in doing just that. I am sure that is the next phase.

I really could use some help with my newly spun up instance. I am having issues with SMTP settings for Google. I am using their app password as I found info about needing to use their app password under 2FA security settings. Never worked. Help!

This is a win for the ppl. AI capitalists want to price regular ppl out of the running in the AI arms race and open source keeps things level. I run stability AI and Pinokio.

Hey Dudes. I am an IT Security Risk Analyst in Cybersecurity & I am worried that our Cybersecurity posture will be weakened by the deregulation machine that is this admins agenda. If we lose Office of Civil Rights oversight, or HIPAA, NIST, etc. we will open the floodgates in our demise.

Covid sucka, Dudes.

I'm on friendica now. I am going to be spinning up my own instance of friendica for the new domain I just bought. So excited for this! I just need to figure out costs associated with cloud flare or AWS storage. You, guys... today is the day you dump Meta and get into the fediverse. #fuckMeta
