## April Fools 2019

April 2, 2019

As usual, I like to prank people with good, original jokes on April 1st across my properties. Not these overused jokes everyone hates (for instance the local furry group deleted pranks because they were getting too much instances of the same overused, boring joke), but rather original and fun jokes. Or I try to, anyway. I didn’t took much effort and time doing any of them this year as I didn’t had any good ideas in advance, and I didn’t had time to do an elaborate one, but here’s a rundown of my pranks of this year.

## Reflections on 2018, part 1: Writing a book

December 10, 2018
#Zarmina
~5 minutes

So yeah. I’m writing a book. It’s called Zarmina. Pretty huge project I’m working on on and off for the last few years and it went through a bunch of iterations before what it is now… I do believe that if you sit on a project for long enough, it’s going to evolve until it turns out pretty great. It’s still a pretty big undertaking and a very ambitious project, I rewrote the first part I don’t know how many times now under countless concepts and I procrastinated a lot of it, but I do think it’s turning out great.

## How to thoroughly destroy spam accounts from Mastodon

Well, it seems Mastodon have a problem with a particular spambot. As an instance admin, I investigated and here’s my findings. Symptoms: Accounts keep singing up on your instance. The username are all random syllables (kind of sounds like Japanese), they have random full English/American-sounding names, their email address are all from random domains as if their owner have a pretty big budget on that and they all have different IPs.

## Facebook sucks

#Rant #Tech
~4 minutes

Well, I guess this thing will be a really nice place to vent. Because, allow me to say this, and I think everyone here will agree: Facebook sucks. I mean, if you ever need to talk to their tech support to either change the name of your page, there’s a problem with it, or you even just want access to their API to integrate with your website (all true stories), let me get this straight, it’s going to be a pain in the ass and take you months to get anywhere.

## Toasters Rocks: The Reboot

November 22, 2018
#Meta
~1 minute

Yeah, let’s try this out, cause why not. It used to be Tumblr (which you can still follow here), but I recently switched to Write Freely, just to see how nicer it is. And looks like it works so far. A while ago I realized I followed way too much people and it distracts me a lot from writing long texts, that and there was way too much NSFW to go there at school, so I kinda stopped going there.

## Life update.

This article was originally published on Tumblr, reposting it here for completeness. Well. I didn’t blogged that much in the past year or two on this toasters dot rocks blog, for some reason. My Tumblr timeline was looking like a disaster. Kinda like Facebook, actually, but that’s another kind of disaster. Oh well. I probably should blog a bit more and publish some texts I usually just condense in 280 characters on Twitter.

## How to tell your AdBlock users to disable it like a boss

This article was originally published on Tumblr, reposting it here for completeness. Boy, I don’t use Tumblr very often nowadays. Well, I wanted to write this article because, first of all, I hate ads and I know everyone else hates ads, myself I have uBlock with the anti-AdBlock killer on, but I also know people depends on it to make some good internet money and they want to do everything so their users can see the ads, even going as far as blocking the site’s content unless AdBlock is disabled… I have reasons to believe you’d piss these users off instead.

## Those Create Your Taste Booths at McDonald’s

This article was originally published on Tumblr, reposting it here for completeness. You know what? I love those. They recently added some of them at the one in my town, pretty popular place after the summer festival taking place in Québec City each summer (we had the Red Hot Chili Peppers tonight, and tomorrow we’ll have Rammstein, so it’s pretty big). So yeah, after those shows the place is pretty crowded and no employee is getting a rest.

## How to repost a video correctly on your social media page

Well, I usually don’t give a damn about this, but after seeing my good friend Minty Root allegedly being butthurt over this and seeing a GIF of his work being (re)posted on Facebook without credit, it stroke me, and I figured I had a good argument about this.

Well, I usually don’t give a damn about this, but after seeing my good friend Minty Root allegedly being butthurt over this and seeing a GIF of his work being (re)posted on Facebook without credit, it stroke me, and I figured I had a good argument about this. For this post, I’ll use Minty as an example here, because I know how he’s set up on YouTube, but it works for most, if not all content creators out there.
