How does Mastodon figure out the path to a media attachment when the database only stores the filename?

What do you do to improve a range of a steam locomotive? It's not the coal, you probably have plenty, it's the water, the thing giving you, well, the steam. Normally, you just stop every hundred kilometers or so (obviously depends and varies, but i didn't pull the number out of my ass, it's to give you a rough idea) and refill the tender, you may still see preserved towers with little spigots or similar equipment around.

Except in the UK, where they added little basins between the rails in a lot of places and the train would scoop the water from them without stopping (it'd obviously have to run at certain slightly higher speed for it to work, it wasn't a pump). This may seem odd, but in fact this was used all over the country for the entire 20th century until the end of the steam in the 60's.

Old people may still remember getting drenched by the water splashing all around, including the first few carriages. You can hear about it in old train travel newsreels.
Neckbeard got pulled by nic.xyz!

Adding "205.185.121.146 neckbeard.xyz" to FSE's /etc/hosts file, so we'll still be able to federate with them until sjw gets a(nother) new domain.

Test: @sjw
@neko @sjw The story starts with gasthe.lgbt; drama archive attached.

Around the time FSE started, @sjw started up feminism.lgbt. Being named "sjw at feminism.lgbt" but posting a shit-ton of loli managed to horrify nearly everyone that was born without a sense of humor. The media files are gone, obviously, but thanks to the magic of federation, you can still see a lot of it: https://freespeechextremist.com/users/20869 . He does a lot of great domains, like buildthatwallandmakeamericagreatagain.trumpislovetrumpis.life , which features the 138-character account name @OurGloriousLeaderDonaldJTrumpPresidentOfTheUnitedStatesAndTheRestOfTheWorld . (This reminds me of wagesofsinisdeath.com, another hilarious instance run by Levi back when he was super active and mostly did WBC-posting: https://freespeechextremist.com/users/26679 . That wasn't taken down, he decided he was done with it, but there was some pageantry involved: I started up an account called "SevenSeals" and the four horsemen rode through the instance: https://freespeechextremist.com/users/43831 .)
