• Searchtodon was “Private Timeline Search for Mastodon” built by Jan Lehnardt #Mastodon
    • The post announcing shutting it down has some commentary, there’s a retrospective still coming
    • Essentially there are Mastodon users who believe that none of their content should ever be stored anywhere even for personal, private use
    • It seems like anything not built into the Mastodon codebase is the most controversial
  • Took some time to capture notes on #unconference approaches, including Open Space Technology
  • Some comments on Arc Browser by @bantg

    • balena etcher is the recommended tool for flashing USB drives
    • I downloaded the NixOS image and flashed it onto a USB key
    • Various attempts to create partitions on my main drive isn’t working, which is what happened before when I was trying this; my disk or partition or something is damaged
    • I’m using the KVM switch, but plugged the USB key directly into the mini, which I wasn’t sure was going to work
    • I haven’t been able to boot from that USB key or to have the boot selector come up, but recovery mode does work through the KVM switch
    • Booting into MacOS/Recovery Mode you need to fully power down, and then hold Command-R or one of the other options while powering on
    • For me, after Command-Option-R, it asked to select a WiFi network and enter password, and then starts “Internet Recovery”
    • There was a 5-6 minute period and then rebooted into recovery with an option to install MacOS/Ventura, which I guess is what it downloaded
    • I decided to go into Disk Utility and choose Erase, so a fresh install of MacOS/Ventura — I’m writing some install notes there
