Not So Sensitive Content Contemplation
I am not sure why. Some users go crazy with labeling everything as Sensitive Content. I guess they do not realize if you highlight everything on every page then essentially nothing is highlighted? Well, let them be them and I will be me. From here on out if it is labeled Sensitive Content I am ignoring that post. Not because it has sensitive content, rather because I am sure it does not. I will also start ignoring users that post everything they post as sensitive content.
I know it should not bother me. It does though so I will just make it go away.

Two weeks in after finding the Fediverse I decided to self-host friendica. It can be a pain at times though it is rewarding as well.
New instance, new #Introduction !
My name is Jürgen, and I translate old German folk tales into English - not just tales from the Brothers Grimm, but from the hundreds of other 19th century German folklorists out there.
To date, I have translated more than 700 tales. You can learn more about my project here (and you can get a free ebook version of my first book if you subscribe to my newsletter there):

I should point out that my interest is less in traditional "fairy tales" than in local local legends. The former tend to be more universal in their narratives, while the latter are deeply embedded in local geography, history, and culture.
I've even put most of these tales on an interactive map - either the town where they come from, or the actual place where the legend supposedly took place. You can see them for yourself on this interactive map!

Well my new Intel N100 16Gb ram, 250Gb NVME is now online running #OPNsense . I didn't need to do any of the changes that Ben Tasker mentioned it just gave a full on 1GB PPPoE connection. Fingers crossed I have most things set up correctly ? I did notice a bug after updating though. Before I updated the system health graphs showed the correct date and times now it is showing me the 14th and 10PM UK time yet the systems is reporting the correct date and time plus time zone as I'm using NTP. Oh well no doubt it'll get fixed shortly.
[ EDIT - The issue is resolved ]
I just had to reset the RRD in the settings and wait just over a minute and now all the graphs under health are working as expected. 😄
Go to Reporting -> Settings
Click "Reset RRD Data"
Wait over 1 minute
