Lorna Shore and cooking! 😱😎

BRUTAL! The most intense cooking experience you can get!

@thomas Does the amount of spice you put in the dish vary according to how heavy the music is? 🤔🌶️

This is attempt number 2, the first was a disaster. I needed a face to base it on, can you tell who's? 🤔

Ich bin immer wieder erstaunt, wie viele Details in OpenStreetMap eingetragen werden können. Das ist ja Wahnsinn!

In StreetComplete werde ich sogar gefragt, ob man in den Altglascontainer in der Nachbarschaft nur Flaschen einwerfen kann oder jede Art von Glas.

Nachher gehe ich noch Straßenbreiten hier in der Nachbarschaft vermessen. Wtf.

This tool lets me monitor the federation traffic from/to my Mastodon instance metalhead.club.

You can clearly see the other server locations - mainly in the US and Europe.

The tool is not ready for the public, but once it's finished and stable, I'll let you know :)

Good morning all 🌞 That was some kick butt eyedrops they gave me last night at the clinic. Dilated pupils and no lights or screens meant I felt like Riddick moving around the the pitch black with super vision. And as our Verwalter has updated our instance to the new version of Mastodon things look bigger on here too!
Thank you @thomas for all the continued work you do for us 🤩

We have lost 8 % of active users in the last 4 weeks. Not sure why. Maybe it's due to less activity because holiday season in Germany is over. :thaenkin:

@thomas From what I can tell, Bluesky has picked up speed and people are trying there. I've heard mixed reviews of it, it's seen as the natural replacement for Twitter, but some say it's filled with bots and not moderated.
Plus people who belong to an online community will go where the group goes. In theory I should be following my old Twitter bubble to bsky but I don't want to go, but I believe that's the exception to the rule.

@derthomas @thomas Runs off to set my personal settings to opt-in 🎉

Oh! It looks like the settings have changed from the original idea and it's automatic opt-in. That's fine. I'm happy for my public toots to be part of the full text search.

@thomas @TheWarlock666 @derthomas I confused it with the external search engine instead of the full text search 😅
Thank you for the correction.

metalhead.club was updated to 4.1.9 ✅

(released 6 minutes ago)

This fixed various issues that have bene introduced by the recent update, such as failing translation requests.

@Kitty

Kitty,
@Kitty@metalhead.club avatar

@thomas It has! Vielen Dank

Kitty, to random
@Kitty@metalhead.club avatar

Hi @thomas is it possible that the last update did something to the translation function of public toots? When I hit the translate button it gives a "server error" message.

I might be wrong, but it feels like it happened around the time of the last update.

It might also be that we reached the translation monthly limit, but I believe I receive a different message when that is the case.

Thank you for taking a look

@thomas @loewe @DXMacGuffin Thank you. I've actually looked at something on GitHub 🤩

@thomas Bereit. 🥳 Und wenn ich richtig gelesen habe, müssen wir uns anmelden, damit unsere öffentlichen Töne in die Suche aufgenommen werden, richtig?

Ready! And if I read correctly, we need to opt-in to have our public toots included in the search, correct?

When a billionaire wants users' biometric data he waffles about it being for security and jobs and makes it a privilege of the paying few to share it with him.
When our 'Verwalter Tom' sends out metalhead.club shirts the timeline is filled with everyone's photos 🤣
They, and you guys, look amazing and I can't wait to get mine! In the meantime, keep those photos coming 🎸

Nicht weinen, meine Lieblinge. Admin Tom kümmert sich um den Fall und ihr bekommt ein T-Shirt, auch wenn er es auf dem Rücken seines Fahrrads zu euch bringen muss, denn er würde niemanden im Stich lassen.

If you could get the metal band/artist of your choice onto metalhead.club who would it be and why?

@SteveClough They sound like awesome people! I'm listening to them now.
Do you go on the Discord server of theirs?

@thomas

Kitty,
@Kitty@metalhead.club avatar

@SteveClough It looks like it's a pay to have access Discord server. It that is the case then they do need to provide everyone's money's worth.

Shhhh! Don't tell anyone, but @The_KamikaZEN and I are working on something for you so you can join in and draw with us for the month of October. 💀

Tomorrow is and I have a plan.

  1. I'm going to buy some of the great that I've got on wishlist.

  2. I'm gonna mention in my purchase message to the band/artist that I found out about them through metalhead.club and how it would be awesome if they joined us on there. 🎸

Are you a metalhead or know a metalhead who would like to join a friendly Mastodon instance with more metal music recommendations than you can listen to in a day?

Although metal is a theme that runs heavily through our local TL it's not the only thing we share, there's tech, nature, life, philosophy, pictures of our art...

I've got invite codes for metalhead.club, just ask 🙂

*Okay, invite codes aren't necessary, but if you want to be invited...😉

✅ metalhead.club t-shirt orderings are closed and I will ask the supplier for a final offer.

Let's hope they have all the models and sizes in stock.

Guys, I've officially reached Tom saturation as I called my nephew Thomas. Not only is his name not Thomas, I don't even know any Thomases outside of Mastodon. Luckily he didn't notice. 😅

We now have a metal music hashtag for every day of the week! Well done everyone!

In celebration I've updated the metalhead community hashtag list

There's the metal music hashtags and some general music hashtags that are popular with metalheads across the Fediverse

You're welcome to copy and share the list

There's no alt text as it's too text heavy for it to transfer properly. Contact me if you need an accessible copy

For some gaming, listening, reading hashtags check @satsuma 's profile

If you use a screen reader please contact me @kitty and I will send you an accessible copy of the text.
