There are a few accounts in the fediverse that are quite fun to follow, some are bots other are maintained by people that usually do a great job keeping the fun stuff coming. Here are a few that I follow: Punkrock History @historyofpunkrock@sfba.social: publishes fun fact and photos of the good old punk rock. Long Live Rock N Roll @Long_live_rock_n_roll@mastodon.world: Publishes stuff from the history of rock and roll. NANCY COMICS BY BUSHMILLER @nancycomics@mastodon.

As I was adding my /slashes page yesterday I noticed that it always take me a while to remember all the steps I have to do to create a new page and add it to the nav bar of this blog/website. So this is a post to remind me of this steps: Create a new .md file under the /content/ folder. Change the config.toml file Create a new menu.main section adding the new page Change name, url and identifier Change the weight to match the position desired in the nav bar menu.

I was browsing the Slash pages website to see what would be the next page I would add to my website when I saw the /slashes page listed there and I thought this would be an easy one to add and also one that I can update has I added more pages. It would be also a great page to have in case one day my nav bar runs out of space I can simply have the link there for the /slashes page.

There are a few alternatives to Mastodon in the fediverse. You can easily find some list in websites like Join the fediverse, Fediverse Party and Fediverse Info. But I want to list someone that I found interesting: misskey - Built with typescript has a really cool Reactions feature. Pleroma - Supports both ActivityPub and OStatus. It is developed in Elixir. Firefish - This is a fork of Misskey. Go to social - Very lightweight.

I use Tidal for my music streaming and I’ve seen quite a feels people on the fediverse sharing their playlists from Spotify. So I looked around and found this app SongShift that allows you to convert from one music service to the other. And it works great. I’ve connected my free account from Spotify and my Tidal account. Once someone shares a playlist from Spotify I open it and add it to my playlists, then I open SongShift load that playlist and start converting it to Tidal.

I’ve stumbled upon a video on YouTube the other day that was talking about the guitarist from Pearl Jam, Mike McCready and how he said once in an interview that the solo for the song Alive was copied from the solo of Kiss’ song She. This blew my mind and I had to go and listen to both songs side by side. After that I went ahead and read the Wikipedia page for the song Alive, to my surprise that information was in the wikipedia and not only that it also mentioned that the solo from She was copied from the solo in the The Doors song Five to One.
