I’m the owner and admin of the instance, and sometimes there are tidying/housekeeping tasks I need to do with user-created communities.

As a workaround, I was able to sign in as a second admin user, go to a post/comment I made in the community, and assign myself moderator through the ... menu.

The app stores already know.

I had good luck with free wifi at coffee shops. The fastest wifi I had in Japan was at a Starbucks. I haven’t had great luck with the free wifi on trains at all.

I have heard Ubigo is a good option for esim cards. Make sure to enroll when you have reliable internet access already.

If you’re looking for a vendor for your portable wifi, IVideo gave us a router with excellent speeds on my last visit, and the return process was a simple prepaid envelope. Make sure to double-check the opening hours of the shop if you pick up your router locally.

Tailscale is a nice way to set up a private network between your machines. It’s perfectly fine.

I’m not denying that Mozilla has a history of poor governance. But they are the competitor to Google here. You need to consider these things in context to understand what anti-corporate means for the internet.

It absolutely matters. We need to consider that a right-wing actor is likely to exaggerate claims against an organization that is ostensibly socially-minded and represents anti-corporate interests, like Mozilla.

Oracle is all fun and games until they lose your instance’s IP or data and don’t give it back because you’re a free tier freeloader.

For food, some of the best stuff isn't on Google Maps. General rule is if there is English on the sign, you're welcome in. Walk around a few blocks and stop in somewhere that looks delicious.

Full disk encryption is something you really want to have when your computer is lost or stolen.

 

I wanted to share this because I recently tried "barefoot"–style shoes and found them extremely comfortable on my feet for long days of walking. These days, my Lems Primal 2 always come with me on a long trip.

 

You don’t want to overheat in a thick wetsuit in tropical waters, and you also don’t want to freeze or risk hypothermia in a thin wetsuit in chilly temperatures.

 

This is a great guide to one of my favorite spots for meeting people and having a great time, Golden Gai in Shinjuku!
