How do status/object ids work in Pleroma, when it comes to ordering? If I go to /api/v1/timelines/public, I get next and previous links in the response on both Pleroma and Mastodon, but Mastodon returns numeric ids that appear to be in order (are they?). I can use min_id and since_id using numeric IDs, and order by IDs to get the earliest/latest.

Pleroma uses alpha-numeric strings. Someone was telling me they’re encoded in base64 or sth and aren’t random, but that doesn’t seem to be the case (are they encoded? What are they encoded in?)

The year is 3423. Storage is limited. Digital archivists convene to solve the pending crisis. However, they spend the entire conference arguing to keep 4.5 exbibytes of __MACOSX directories.

Reality: Frost season growing longer across Australia
"experts were sure would be less frosts in Australia, but... the frost season is actually growing across southern Australia, not shrinking. And in some places by an astonishing 40 extra days a year."

@xianc78 @gabriel @xianc78 @PurpCat @RustyCrab @gabriel @GrungeQueef The one I've always figured is to have a public facing twitter for strictly business, but to primarily advertise alternative outlets.

There's no reason to have a discord, you're just babysitting the most mentally ill retards on the planet. Even big "content creators" like Sseth have realized it's 100% not worth the effort. Just have a public forum or instance or whatever for troubleshooting, you want that to be public and not behind the great retard app.

I found a site called file.pizza that operates as a p2p bridge for file sharing. Pretty nifty, if you just want to share some files with someone but don't want to upload them anywhere or go through the hassle of a torrent. Especially if it's kind of a big file that a file host wouldn't allow.
