I'm so beyond frustrated right now. My web hosting provider has made changes but appears to have not communicated any of these changes and how they affect me. An example is, I can no longer manage my DNS or at least find where the heck it is located.

I'm curious to know what Canadian Hosting Provider do you use? I'm looking for one that uses servers in Canada.

How does it happen when someone has an Mastodon account with no posts yet the total post count says otherwise? I've tried going directly to the account instance and same results. For that matter even following and followers show up empty. Scam/spam account?

I must have my thoughts crossed as for the life of me I can't seem to figure out this regex in BASH using a parameter expansion.

I want to search for 2 or more dashes and then replace with one dash. Here is what I thought would work, but doesn't. Any suggestions?

string="Hello-World! #debug command---line"
string="${title//[-]{2,}/-}"

Well this is quite annoying. I just realized that tags on Mastodon are case sensitive. I've been intentionally doing pascal case style tags for accessibility and assumed the tag would be treated as the same no matter the case. However, as an example #ThrowbackThursday and #throwbackthursday are treated as two different tags.

I'm not sure how to deal with this.

NOTICE: Typo was the issue. Typo has been fixed.
