One thing I really like about being on a small, semi-thematic instance is that the local timeline is actually readable and interesting. It's nice to have a low-key look at it periodically and see what others are up to or saying.

The only downside I see is that there are a few instance-locals that I don't bother to follow – I dig their stuff but I know I will probably see their posts on the local TL anyway.

Is that somehow problematic?

Does this indicate some deficiencies in the whole binary "follower" model of connection and discourse?

PSA: If you or someone close by have an encounter with a spot robot that - out of whichever reasons - you don't want to have: There is a lever under the robot's chest, a strong pull on it throws out the battery and the robot switches itself off immediately.
Caution: Keep your fingers away from joints and moving parts! Spot is strong and crushes fingers like cream cake.

Here is my little 8x8 font, with all ASCII symbols and compatible with the code page 437 character set. Available as a 128x128 .bmp image, a .chr file or ready to be embedded in a C project with the .c file.

Thanks to @neauoire for the help with the .chr and .c conversion!

So #peertube allows streaming now. Are there any peer tube instances that might want to host an two day event likely to have a peak of 800 viewers and if so, how much would they want to be compensated?
