How I “redirected” from Substack to Buttondown with Netlify

Or, the use of public/_redirects to catch all the FQDN subdomain quirks along the way…

As I am not a user of Meta, Facebook, Instagram, etc…

I’m pretty confident I will not use Threads, Fabrics, Garments, or the eventual ill-advised release of Exoskeletons.

#mastodonadmin note on v4.1.3 is to remember the dist/nginx.conf added two lines to location ~^/system/

add_header X-Content-Type-Options nosniff;
add_header Content-Security-Policy “default-src ‘none’; form-action ‘none’”;

And… you’ll need to redo and badge or favicon changes you made after you git checkout v4.1.3

YMMV

Pro Tip: Remember that using or referencing terminology like “Overton Window” in random population samples may result in some thinking (or being very confident) that it is a heavy window in a building, a popular design studio option in new a planned housing development, or something similarly banal.

One of the duties / perks of being a #selfhosted #mastodonadmin is the periodic “New trends up for review” email notice. Hashtags and links are rolled up for inspection.

Generally speaking, I tend to just go “Approved” down the line for hashtags then perform a per source inspection of links for discreet “Allow publisher”.

Anyhoo…

Good job y’all!

Keep #mastodon vibrant.

Random question from someone that sits on domains (but never fancied themselves a squatter) for projects that have languished:

What is a reputable recommended domain name appraisal service?

i.e. tell me how much [string of text].[TLD] is worth in the form of an appraisal considered to be legit if that domain name was to be donated to a worthy cause

Looking back at 2019… ‘the world is almost turning into a scene out of “Looker” by Michael Crichton from the 1980s which is (no spoilers) literally the scenario of cutting the artist out of the cost equation.’ via https://fudge.org/archive/dance-and-technology/
