          I’ve been working on a Slackware “afterboot(8)” document inspired by the
          OpenBSD afterboot manual. It covers the important things to check right after
          installation (network, wifi, hostname, fstab, services, security, etc).

          I’m thinking about proposing this as a real manpage for Slackware.

          What do you think — should Slackware have an official afterboot(8)?

          Yes, Slackware should have afterboot(8):36
          Maybe, needs review:6
          Not needed:0
          Good idea as a community doc only:1

          Hey everyone, we have some pretty big news to share. You might remember that we announced a big restructuring for the Mastodon team earlier this year. Today marks an important milestone in this transition.

            Our Founder, @Gargron is stepping down from his position as CEO. He shared a reflection on his time building and growing Mastodon on our blog.

            We want to take a moment to express the Mastodon team’s deep gratitude and admiration for Eugen, and for the technology and community he has built here. We’re thrilled he’s staying on in an advisory capacity.

              We’re also looking ahead to what comes next. In another blog post published today, we introduced Mastodon’s new leadership team. Our Executive Director is @mellifluousbox (formerly, CFO of Mastodon gGmbH), who has already represented Mastodon on international stages.

              We also shared an organisational update, and a fundraising update, in that blog post.

                This important milestone also marks the beginning of a new era of community governance and collaborative decision-making for Mastodon. Now more than ever, we need to work together to build safe and resilient social spaces. We must build information networks that are resistant to billionaire control and surveillance. It will take all of us working together to do that.

                So please consider joining our mission; we have a lot of work to do.

                        my FedInspect tool (on Flathub) generally tries to check the nodeinfo endpoint to sniff that out.

                          Infuriated that the local racists decided to attach a tacky flag halfway up the lamp post outside my mum's house, and a poppy as well (presumably to legitimise their "nationalist pride" by associating it with remembrance). That will be coming down, later.
