  • You can ignore this comment, OP. I’m sure you’ve heard all this before and already have practice.

    This is for everyone else.

    A cat can live a perfectly happy life without danger. Do not let them outside without a leash.

    “Outdoor” cats die earlier and are at greater risk of parasites and disease. That is a fact. Most animal shelters include a contractual obligation not to do what OP does in their adoption agreements. Violating this requirement would be considered animal abuse, and grounds for them to take the animal back for re-adoption.

    Transitioning an outdoor cat to indoor life can be difficult, but what OP does is not normal and should not be. No-one should let a pet outside unattended. And most people wouldn’t. But for some reson some people make an exception for cats. And only cats. This is a logical error.

    Animals are either wild or domestic. Not both.

    I’m pretty sure OP wouldn’t let a dog roam free, yet all the same logic for why that is so, applies to cats.

    The needs of a cat that are fulfilled by the outdoors, can be fulfilled indoors. Places to hide, surfaces to scratch, toys to play with, etc. If your cat is miserable indoors, that’s on you, not the nature of the animal.





  • In that case, something is invalidating the login. Are you sure that it is happening due to leaving your LAN, and not just coinciding with that?

    Does restarting the laptop log you out, or temporarily disconnecting from the internet? Could you test by switching to a wifi hotspot on your phone, and switching back, for example?

    The client stores your session token in the OS credentials manager (kwallet for linux kde, for example) and the issue can lie there, as well.











  • What do you mean?

    Any post, on any service, is technically accessible on any other instance, running any service. Actual implementation, varies.

    Unless you run into it in the feed, the way to find a given post is to enter the original instance url for it into search on the instance from which you want to interact with it.

    To upvote this post, for example, even from an instance that it hasn’t federated to, I can enter the url to this post on its host instance into search, and the other instance will fetch the post, allowing me to vote and/or comment.

    Same goes for mastodon toots. Get the url, put into search, upvote, comment, whatever.
