reosarevok: always happy to help with posting to Mastodon/Bluesky - what can I do? (it’s a shame we can’t literally schedule posts there, I don’t think..)

Apparently bluesky does not but they suggest using "Buffer" (https://bsky.social/about/blog/07-30-2024-sched...)

"Connect up to 3 channels" for free only tho

The document suggests we should post:

I tend to avoid third-party schedulers when we have multiple services to post to, it adds so many logins etc

Hmm maybe I should look into that but I can’t help but think it’s easy enough to pop in to post something in Mastodon and Bluesky. Shall I put it in my literal calendar?

Oh, 1 hour before might need to be done by you devs I guess, depending on timezone

Yeah, 1h before you wouldn't be around

The reason we schedule it generally is just so we don't forget with all the other stuff :D

But I guess writing it in advance and just posting it will have to do

Did we/you ever schedule it?

I can look into Buffer, I see it includes Mastodon and Bluesky - my only question is if this leaves more room for error, e.g. forgetting to de-schedule stuff if plans change. You might want to pop in to manually post that things are back up again, anyway

m getting this error while loading feed in local server.

Hi , I am getting this error while loading feed section in my local server.

<aerozol[m]> "Did we/you ever schedule it?" <- Basically last year it suggested we did, but I dunno if we did or not

In the end it's fine to post manually, I think the point of scheduling these was that 1 day before it's easy to forget and 1 h before we're stressed as is :D

But then let's at least come up with something that can be just copy-pasted

I can make an account in Buffer, we will just have to share an email login (unless we decide the service kicks ass and is worth $), as the “team plan” starts costing

Want to link me the doc and I can write some copypasta?

OK, Buffer looks pretty rad actually

Buffer is cool, but it charges per channel, and MetaBrainz has… 4 x 2 channels, making it all rather complicated. The free account only lets us connect 3 anyway, so I have just connected the MB ones (x2) for now. I added the login details to the syswiki if anyone wants to have a play, but since all sites are impacted there will have to be some manual sharing across channels for this schema change anyway.

ask if non-profits get a free account or more channels.

I added some copypasta to the upgrade doc reosarevok, hopefully that’s easy enough to copy and paste before you get going, and then share on the others

Looks like they offer a 50% discount mayhem. If we wanted to hook up 8 channels that’s $40 /month with team access, or $20 /month for single login (we don’t have approval systems etc so I don’t think we need the team one). I personally don’t really need it, but maybe reo and others would like it

I’m off for the night but ping me any time, peeps

k, let me know what the consensus is

not sure tbh

bitmap zas mayhem : new thing ready for SSO integration testing - please try going to outline dot meb dot org in your browser. (free self-hosted copy of [outline](https://www.getoutline.com/))

if you have an active session with authentik already, you should get logged into the thing pretty quickly; if not, you should get redirected for auth and then sent back soon after

no implication of obligation to use this outline instance at all going forward (unless there's interest); outline just happened to be easy to spin up & integrate

🤣

julian45: I logged into outline -- looks interesting. Is the idea to migrate syswiki there?
