I have reseated the RAM. I have switched DIMMs. I have swapped sockets. It turns out that the machine I opened, and the machine into which I am ssh'd, are not the same machine.

Whether someone posts only photos, or long form text, or music, or whatever. Sure, I might choose to filter things *my* side, or group people together into lists, but the server someone is on should be irrelevant. IMHO. c.f.

Is Pixelfed sawing off the branch that the Fediverse is sitting on?

I tried "matcha hot chocolate" today. Fortunately, only a sample given out in a store, because it was vile.
