@npub1wk2…3v23 Congratulations! Can you speak to the bird species on the cover (a Budgie?) and the reason it was selected? Or is that secret O'Reilly stuff. 🦜

@npub1jc6…7v67 It looks familiar somehow. Catch up next? 🧐

Sometimes, animals come into your life unexpectedly, and so it was with this 14 year old chihuahua many years ago.
She had horrible teeth issues, and we had to remove a few. It always looked like she was snarling because of that.
Even tho we only had a few years with her, I don't regret a single moment of care we gave her, and the love we got back.

If you're interested in learning more about OAUTH and OIDC, give this a shot. The trainer is calm and clear, his illustrations are a hoot, and the explanations lit a few light bulbs for me. I still come back to this for refreshers.

Setting up various ActivityPub implementations lately (small, single user stuff and one larger one). The incoming requests are rivers of DELETEs, most of which have never actually interacted my instance before.
I understand the reasoning, but wish there was a layer above my instance directing irrelevant AP traffic away from my little single user server.
Recommendation: Don't federate with large instances if you're just tinkering around with stuff.
