    Buying a cheap document scanner I can carry around in a bag has created far more opportunities for building #graphicdesign­s than buying and using a camera ever did. The camera is overburdened with meaning, instead of being a texture scanner at a distance. #asca Quelle: Twitter

    #aside and #tldr Running a solo Mastodon instance? Here's how to keep it clean and #gdpr compliant: – Disable link previews: DISABLE_FETCH_PREVIEWS=true – Disable embeds: DISABLE_EMBED_PREVIEW=true – Purge old PreviewCards via Rails console – Avoid federated content – Self-author everything – Host locally, anonymize IPs Respectful publishing, no third-party hosting #asca #server #mastodon #selfhosted #germany…

    Next thing I need to do is to turn off the mastodon-native “cards” for links, because I am future-proofing my self-hosted services against issues with the law here in Germany, especially regarding what is called “framing” here.In short, I better not EVER have a picture anywhere on anything I self-host I have not explicitly acquired…

    Aside: you can read how to do this here https://doc.wallabag.org/user/configuration/rss/Copy the #RSS link #wallabag puts out and add it as a source in #FreshRSS. And to my surprise, it actually links to the proper article instead of linking to the internal wallabag URL. I would’ve fixed it by parsing it in #huginn though, should it’ve…

And while working in public on a social platform, my partner recommended that I use my wallabag favorites to add to our informational feed. And the process for outputting #RSS from wallabag is very…
