Tried to get #Litestream working again with #gotosocial but I keep running into 403 errors using #DigitalOcean Spaces for S3. the error is "api error SignatureDoesNotMatch: The request signature we calculated does not match the signature you provided. Check your key and signing method".

This kept repeating until the .sqlite.db-litestream directory filled my disk (about 10x the size of actual DB). Still need to do sqlite backups the old fashioned way: make compressed copy and upload with s3cmd.

Unlocked 500-day streak achievement on #Reddit. I’m 1 out of 1.18 million users that have done this it seems… 😂

This is probably more of a personal failure over an achievement!

 Weird orb graphic with a statement that says, “I unlocked the rare 500-day streak achievement on Reddit.” I’m 1 out of 1.18 million users that have done this it seems… 😂

Thinking about that time when I had such a great username of “bryan”at my credit union.

When more than 3 attempted logins failed, my account would get locked. They had me change my username to something resembling a password to stop accidental attempts.

I really hate how stupid security is at credit unions and banks. Terrible. 😤

Remembering the time a primate keeper at the zoo heard me say I'm afraid of monkeys and she told me about how the chimps will sometimes try and sneak sticks into the indoor enclosure to sharpen the use to try and stab the keepers through the bars.

Delightfully terrifying bias confirmation.

Setup daily backups of my #SQLite for my #gotosocial server. Backups go to S3 at the moment but I’ll add just archiving to a local path or maybe scp to a host? I dunno. Don’t need to make things too complicated.

I put the script on #Codeberg for others to use if they want.

TODO: add cleaning up old backups.

Found a sweatshirt to try out… 😂
#temu

FWIW I actually clicked the link for this ad on #Instagram and got a 504 gateway error.

 Temu ad for a puffy bodybuilder sculpted shirt to make the wearer look incredibly buff. Can be work as a coat.

So: "phytomining"!

you take land where metals (like silver) are mixed into the soil

you seed the land with "hyperaccumulators" -- plants that suck up metal as they grow and incorporate it into them

some of these plants wind up being fully 1% silver

when the crops are mature, harvest and burn them

voila

you have a bunch of useable silver

 A close-up photo of a tree branch shows a single bright green bead of sap glistening on the bark. The background is softly blurred with warm greens and browns, suggesting dense foliage in a forest setting. The sharp focus on the tiny droplet highlights its vivid color and jewel-like appearance.
