@lyli Its just so they have someone come out here and install the router (The router is also mine after that).

The internet itself will be roughly the same as I pay but five times the speed. (Up from 50 down / 10 up to 250 down and 50 Up) for 55€ /month

@pmj Usually it does work better to install windows first and then linux but generally when you use two disks it tends to work quite well.

@pmj @igwigg @kura I literally installed cachy next to windows a few weeks ago. Worked fine. Have both on seperate drives and use a linux bootloader. (Lumine in this case but grub is fine as well)

@Erpel Always! I just stacked some different layers and opted for a skirt today. Will be so nice!

(But I also have a coat with me for the morning

@mametsuko For me its about the small wins. That said I have a very safe job .

I don't hate my job, but sometimes I make it just a little bit better for myself. So after that long weekend some motivation was needed. So I am sitting here in a cute skirt and tried out the new coat I got in the 7°C morning weather (quite comfy!)

@Erpel Trees are too lewd for Ente

@mametsuko hewwo mame

Fiber was laid now into the house now. Now have a little passive ONT in the house...

So yeah gotta buy that Fritzbox 5530 after all. Atleast the ISP sells you that Fritzbox pretty cheaply. Its 130€ with installation. So yeah soon gonna have two fritzboxes at home. A 5530 for terminating that fiber and the 7530 for Wifi I guess? (Why buy a new access point when I can use what I have lol.

@volpeon they are made for smartphones in this day and age. Vertical comics

@lyli I really love it very much as well

The Boots are not my absolute favorite but fit the cosplay and are not terrible to walk in like the cheaper boots you could get. I might need some black paint though to hide some scrateches in them ( I tend to scratch my boots on the inside of such shoes since I walk a little weird I guess?)

I am just not the biggest fan of such style of boots thats so rigid. They have a PU shell and a lining inside so they are rather stiff. There is a reason I like my CAMEL-300 Overknees so much more than these. They use a lovely soft-PU on them since you kinda need that for overknees. Looking forward getting those cuties out again for Dokomi this year (and sweat ass off in them)

I needed to redo those snap buttons the fabric was to weak to hold them in and I had one fall out during dokomi last year. So I remade and they were solid on another con last year no problem. But yeah the tool really helped make them last.

The fake leather was actually fine all in all. It was of the rather cheap, thin, fabric-backed variety.

There is also this post with way more info on this cosplay specifically: https://write.lightnovel-dungeon.de/a-long-way-to-my-first-proper-self-made-cosplay

A longer read for sure. But maybe interesting to you?

@snow @steph So I guess thats why you are awake at such ungodly hours today

@volpeon The free day or the fiber

You are doing great volpi!

@volpeon even no screaming today

I have another day off today. They are coming to the flat to lay down some fiber today. So I need to be home and I hate doing home office. So I rather took a day off.

@epsi A yeah that thread is kinda gold tbh. DON'T YOU SEE THAT PEOPLE ARE LEAVING MASTODON?!

Had a semi-interesting discussion there as well about journos trying to establish the fedi as a further channel for their stuff.

And man analytics really kill the deal here seemingly. The fediverse seems to be hard track in terms of click-through.

I have an NGO seem use a simple "utm_source=mstdn" in the URLs they share to get a hint where users might be coming from.

I was met with "this does not work" since people on fedi tend to use extensions that remove these things and stuff.

And also google analytics seems to (atleast in the past) have no real way of tracking stuff like traffic from the fediverse that is becoming the problem to actually measure the reach that the links have. capitalism sure is fun!

But tbh (as I also wrote there) its so much a sign of "skill issue" on the side of publication as well as well as a bit "learned helplesness" and cost cutting. Imagine having actual specialists in IT and marketing on your teams in publication and not having the journo needing to do all that ontop which they are not qualified for.

But capitalism is what it is. But I kinda like the idea of fedi being kinda inherently incompatible with "metrics".

Its what makes this place different and unique from the usual tech-bro algo-driven social media stuff. People instead of consumers a little bit.

motivation

Lil’ bunnygirl for happy easter

@vozercozer Just your most normal ragebait I gues... Just not watch such videos and move on

@puniko oh look cute wood bunny

@pixx @spiegelmama @JMMaok that is an obvious flaw with unintrusive tracking but so be it. Never said it was the most reliable method anyway.

Though I would argue thats more of a "desktop browser"-problem.

As much more traffic is mobile even on fedi pretty sure this might be less of a problem than it might seem?

But you will surely have to do more work to determine if fedi is "worth it" or not, like looking at other forms of "engagement", like comments, boosts and favs as well.

Like doing actual analytics work.

In the end I don't know too much about the professional side of this anyway
