Nathan Arthur (OLD ACCOUNT)

I'm about to start the process of moving this account to hachyderm.io (specifically @narthur@hachyderm.io).

I'm following the steps at https://fedi.tips/transferring-your-mastodon-account-to-another-server/) so my followers should just come along for the ride.

I'll post again on the other side!

Thanks to @FediTips@social.growyourown.services for writing https://fedi.tips/its-a-really-bad-idea-to-join-a-big-server/ which convinced me to do this. (And thanks for the instructions!)

That's just awesome - I changed my email address on my #Verizon account and they sent the "warning, your email address has been changed" to the *new* address.

I really enjoyed Étoile (on Prime). Excellent characters, excellent acting, excellent dancing, and a good bit of fun. The story was a touch too blunt, but still - I’m eager for another season.

As I go through updating hundreds of accounts to "+ addresses" (instead of Qmail's "- addresses") I'm struck by how many sites still don't have 2FA at all, let alone passkey support. Or their 2FA is hard-coded to use text messages. Even sites for money management!

Something has gone wrong in my life: yesterday I started seriously considering Jira for a small dev team.

All the better options I've ever used have died; it's almost like my use of them kills them.

And the current alternatives (Linear, Plane, GitHub) have serious flaws for us. (Desktop software dev isn't the target use case, and I have strong opinions about process, and we have data to migrate.)

Jira at least *can* do everything we need, if I beat on it enough.

I've been a #BackBlaze customer for years, but it sounds like they're #enshittified:

1. They made me change my password because mine "wasn't strong enough".

- How did they know, if they're storing it salted and hashed?!?
- It wasn't! It was gen'd by 1password, and I had 2FA enabled!
- Their web form for changing passwords has UX issues!

2. I got a support reply from an AI telling me they "know about the issue" and my "feedback is valuable". And they'll automatically close the ticket soon!

#TIL from the https://99percentinvisible.org/ podcast that https://www.artomat.org/ is a thing: retired cigarette vending machines that have been converted to vend #art.

Seems like a good source of interesting #motorcycle trip destinations!
