so interesting few facts about newjack.city
The instance is being fronted by Cloudflare but due to the nature of federation, the source IP of their origin server is revealed in logs:
67.171.154.53 - - [03/Nov/2018:19:54:47 +0000] "POST /users/staticsafe/inbox HTTP/1.1" 202 36 "-" "http.rb/3.3.0 (Mastodon/2.6.1; +https://newjack.city/)"
That is a Comcast residential IP in Troutdale, Oregon, USA. Traceroute/mtr and the last few hops reveal that bit.

I made something for Mastodon: A gallery mini-app.

You can simply drop it in your Mastodon server's public folder, and it will show images from your server in a mosaic grid with infinite scroll. Supports some configuration as well, e.g. whether to limit it to only local images, or a specific hashtag, or which server to fetch from.
Okay, here is a demo! Everything in #mastoart:

When I started going to college, I majored in deaf studies. I wanted to learn sign language and become an interpreter. However, I wasn't very good at it. So I changed majors and got an associates in business, then transferred to a 4 year university and now I'm working on my bachelors in social work.
My mom is hard of hearing and that why I wanted to learn to sign, so I do still want to learn some day
