With Mastodon v4.4.0 instance owners can enable HTTP referrers. That means: If somebody clicks a link on a Mastodon post (e.g. to a news article), the link target owner (such as the news site operator) can see that a user from that instance has visited their website. They do _only_ get the instance domain (e.g. metalhead.club). No information about the user! I've enabled this setting, because I am sure that it will increase awareness of Mastodon's existence. 💪 #mastodon #mastoadmin

It's metalhead.club's birthday today! 🎂🎉 Our instance was established 8 years ago. It all started out of curiosity. Coming from the German tchncs.de instance, I was wondering if I could set up my own instance. Metalhead.club was born. Quickly new members were attracted and contributed to metalhead.club's welcoming atmosphere. The Fediverse was very small at the time - but that didn't matter. Since then metalhead.club has been a place for new music discovery and networking among Metalheads worldwide! I'm proud to be your host! 😊 Let's hope that our place on the internet will continue to last for at least another 8 years 🤘 #metalheadclub #metal

Seit einigen Tagen werden Medien meiner Mastodon-Instanz metalhead.club global verteilt über ein eigenes CDN ausgeliefert. :goose_hacker: Das verringert die Latenzen für Benutzer aus nicht-EU Ländern und sorgt für weniger Frust bei den Ladezeiten. Was ein CDN ist, welche Implementierungsmethoden es gibt und wie ich mein kleines CDN umgesetzt habe, erfahrt ihr in meinem neuen Blogpost: "Ein eigenes kleines CDN für meine Mastodon-Instanz metalhead.club" -

I got tired with all the AI scrapers that were bullying my git server, so I made a tool to stop them for good.

Gibt es jemanden in München und Umgebung, der evtl eine U.2 zu USB Dockingstation hat? Ich würde gerne jemanden U.2 SSDs abkaufen, aber leider hat die Person keine Information zum Zustand / Alter / Abnutzung dieser SSDs. Ich würde das gerne überprüfen. Doch leider mangelt es mir an Equipment. Gibt es hier jemanden, der mir ein passendes Dock oder Adapter leihen kann? Will eigentlich nur die SMART Werte auslesen 😊 #server #münchen #ssd #u.2

Wow, Flipboard.com really stick to their Fediverse promise. #fplitboard #fediverse #mastodon #activitypub

Thoughts and prayers to our Spanish and Portuguese members who can't browse metalhead.club due to the power outage in their region! 😉 (no really, I hope they're fine :S) #spain #portugal #powerOutage #blackout
