Regarding clients, Tweesecake, Pachli, and Mona were my go-tos, with Tweesecake now being replaced by the awesome FastSM.
I’ve learned a lot on this platform, from getting to know Tailscale and Linux servers to many other great applications and much more.
It took a while to gain the engagement I have now. As I mentioned earlier, Mastodon often seems quite boring, but once conversations evolve, it’s actually quite fun to chat with all the different people.
At this point, I think I’ve found a solid base of users to interact with and enjoy communicating and discussing things here.
Thanks to everyone sticking around, reading my random tech rambles, boost spam, or complaints about all the other stuff life throws at me. And thanks to the developers of the clients and Mastodon itself. Looking forward to more good times here.

Für alle die sich Fragen ob wir es hier nicht etwas mit dem Datenschutz übertreiben.
Die #ICE in den USA nutzt eine App von #Palantir um Leute zum deportieren zu lokalisieren.
Die Daten dafür kommen u.a. aus dem Gesundheitsministerium.

Today on AppAddict - Tailscale: The Best Free App Most Mac Power Users Aren’t Using - Someone asked me to name the best free app available to Mac users in 2026. I didn’t hesitate before choosing Tailscale.
Tailscale is a VPN, but not in the usual sense. It’s a private, encrypted, identity-based network where your devices recognize each other no matter where they are. It uses... - appaddict.app/post/ailscale-th… - #Mac #macOS #Apple #AppAddict

I looked at the new Yamaha MGX series digital mixers. Not that I'm in need of an audio mixing console (I'm not these days), but they're new, and I wanted to see what they're all about. Looked pretty good, until "oh yeah, by the way, it has a 4.3 inch touch screen."
Yep, that's how you make me instantly uninterested in your product.
I have decided that if I ever can set up my studio again, I will just mix everything in the box, and then get a decent analog mixer for use with analog synths and outboard effects... but who am I kidding? That probably won't actually happen before I lose what hearing I still have left. Fun to think about though.

I Can Say Goodbye To Star Trek Because Star Trek Raised Me
Star Trek instilled in me many of the same values that are taught in houses of worship across the world, but in my faith, there is no God to judge or punish me—I learned how to rely on my own moral compass and inner strength.Dylan Roth (Aftermath)
