I know I asked this before, but which of you have a decent way of crossposting posts between Twitter/Facebook/mastodon or dreamwidth? Do you have a way of crossposting friend only posts? I used to try to cross-post links but now I think cross-posting the content is easier (for micro-posts where there doesn't need to be a canonical comment section).

Ifttt is the thing that's supposed to do that but I've ended up confused whenever I try to set it up. I think the ideal design would be some input feed that everything else is crossposted from, and the crossposting relying on webforms so that it doesn't only work for services that have an existing API and willingness to let people use it. But i don't need s perfect solution, just anything that works for now

No gas??

Oh my gosh, I keep thinking I'm on top of things and then it turns out I have no idea :(

Since Sat lunchtime, we seem to have no gas. I don't *think* that means a leak?? Like, there's no indication of a gas smell or anything. But no gas in the stove or heating.

I don't *think* I screwed up paying the bill.

The last several months we've has some work done in the street, we had the gas cut off for a day while they did... something. But that was, lots of notes through the door saying "warning, off on this day, on again on this day, someone will come round to disconnect you and reconnect you".

My best guess is, either a problem with the valve here?? Or a problem with the works on the gas main upstream. But I don't know how to tell the difference.

I don't know if this is a "my problem, need to get a heating engineer", or "national grid problem, need to call them and ask" or how to tell the difference. I feel like that's just obvious to everyone else, but I somehow missed out knowing :(

And if it is cut off upstream, does that mean you need a professional to reconnect it? Or that causes all sorts of problems?

I naively supposed that the website would contain some sort of information, but it seems divided into two sections: "oh my god I smell gas emergency" and "everything is working as expected but I don't like it". I seem to have a problem physically impossible to have, what does that mean?
