Updated #introduction to reflect job change... I’m a Greens member of the Legislative Assembly from Canberra, Australia. Here for progressive policy-making, environment, inequality issues. Also into roller derby and other sports. If I post lots about baking, I’m probably stressed. If I post lots about my dog, I’m probably happy.

Hey Everybody.
The Charity Stream-A-Thon I run has started at https://generozity.com.au/ or twitch.tv/GenerOZity
We’re running a 102 hour non-stop Twitch Stream to raise money for https://www.curecancer.com.au/!
Our last event raised $69,000 (nice) for Fire and Rescue and the show before that raised $40,000 for Cure Cancer last PAX…. Donations are appreciated and tax deductible! ;)
FYI: GenerOZity charity sends 100% of the money raised to our targets.
@bestthingsbot I finished the last part of my GenerOZity.com.au planning... the show starts tomorrow and runs for 100 hours. Pray for me.

hellooooo, I needed to get out of the Times Square jungle of Instagram n Facebook (reddit is ok tho) HOW ARE YOU ALL??? 
@dylanhall ooh the dude is super active.. but single dev projects scare me because if he gets bored or stops.. I end up with a service that is unsupported
Mastodon has a huge development community
@dylanhall yeah. the "content" of a pixelfed image is posted to mastodon if you follow somebody on an instance.
I want to launch a pixelfed soon, but the project has a single dev and he hasn't released a stable build in two years ;(
@dylanhall I'm not a dev but I'd there are a lot of projects on the go atm in the federated activiitypub space.
@dylanhall The VM is like $30 a month + s3 bucket is about the same (I really need to migrate away from AWS).
I'm happy to pay as long as people use this, and we've got a few hundred active users.
I've quietly got a patreon if people find it to cover some of the costs.
@dylanhall Hey. the problem today was a memory leak on my relay (service used to broadcast messages between friendly instances) ate all of memory. this is our first outage in like 9 months... shame.
As an instance, this is just a linode VM running Mastodon in docker.. AWS S3 for media/CDN.
We've some minor technical difficulties for the last few hours.
but I caught it now and everything should return to normal.
