Okay, I want to try to focus my spare-time-project-energy for the coming months.
I will do my very best to restrain myself to three projects:

1. Getting #GardenGame to a minimal playable state, so y'all can start making small virtual gardens. I'm not good at graphics, so keep expectations low for the first release.

2. #StarShip, a PHP fediverse server project by @InspectorCaracal . I'm thinking of making a zatnosk-experiments branch and just do my best to run wild with it.

When I think of a future with Open Social Media, I imagine three pillars.

1) Microblogging (ActivityPub), for sharing thoughts with strangers, ephemeral community building, and broad+global reach.

2) Forum / Stable Community (no good solution yet, AFAIK), for discussing, planning, buying/selling locally. All within a distinct group of people, membership of which can be managed.

3) Peer2Peer (Scuttlebutt?), for talking directly to friends, family, nearby people, and easily sharing files.

Priest (2011) is a pretty fucking awesome movie.

For the purpose of putting on oats with sunflower seeds and pumpkin seeds:

Which non-diary milk / milk replacement is best graded on "deliciousness" and "eco-friendly" scales?
Middling in both is better than high in either.

And I know deliciousness is a subjective thing, but advice is still possible.

I've been eating oats for breakfast for a decade or so, and I'm interested in "upgrading" my breakfast habits. A while ago I switched from adding sugar (or occasional chocolate müsli) to adding sunflower seeds and pumpkin seeds, mostly for health benefits of less sugar.

This change lowered the "deliciousness" of my breakfast to just above the threshold for something I can eat daily; which is relevant for the actual question in next toot.

There's also the issue of Hetzner's cheapest option only including 2GB RAM, which is a bit in the low end - based on gut feeling.

My current server running this instance (and some other stuff) is "idling" at 2.7GB RAM in use, so 100 people using a Mastodon instance might get uncomfortably near 2GB.

I'm digging into what it would cost me to run a ~100 user #Florence instance.

Currently I'm looking at Hetzner for hosting, since I want it cheap AND hosted entirely in Europe.

But I keep butting my head against the issue of media storage. Hetzner's cheapest has 20gb storage included, but I think that would quickly be surpassed, so I'd want to add a separate storage server; but Mastodon only supports AWS and Swift, so I don't think I can use Hetzner's cheap storage boxes.

Okay, who's the immature kid who was in charge of naming birds in the English language?

There's both tits and boobies, that can't be accidental!
