We took some of the left-over limes at #eh22, and are wondering what to do with them!
And clearly, the first thing to make is: puns. Can you help us out?
you'll find out what to do with them after elemonating all the wrong answers.

He fabricated evidence.
While this is a big deal, even if the evidence were valid, being a member of an organization is not a valid reason to lock them up. You have to actually prove that he committed a crime. This is constitutional rights 101.
It's certainly not a valid reason to extract them to a death camp on foreign soil.

is it more environmentally responsible to do sudoku on the computer (power draw, the infrastructural cost of the internet) or on paper (single-use synthetic rubber used for pencil eraser, production of pencil lead, paper use)
genuinely this one is starting to wonder. (assuming that it uses a computer it already owns and thus does not cause production of computers in order to do sudoku)

Building ActivityPub @index@activitypub.ghost.org
We've been shipping hard in the last week, and we've got more ActivityPub updates to share for those of you who are trying out the beta!
Last week, we recapped the top feedback we've received so far around what's working well about ActivityPub; and what isn't. This week, we're addressing the request that has been sitting firmly in the number one spot.
Up until now, all users of ActivityPub in Ghost had a simple, fixed username of @index@domain.com. And, if your domain included www then the username would be @index@www.domain.com.
Now, the www prefix has been automatically removed from all usernames, and you can customize the @index part to anything you like!
This a first step to give you more control how people see and interact with your profile in the Fediverse, and you can expect more settings like this to be added as we go.
One of the other common questions we've had lately is whether Ghost will allow multiple staff users within a website to have separate usernames. The answer to that is: Yes, that's that plan. But we're not there yet.
Eventually, we're hoping to make it so that you can have a publication-level profile like @index@404media.co that contains all posts, from anyone on the site — as well as staff user profiles like @jason@404media.co and @sam@404media.co that represent posts and interactions from those individual authors.
This part, though, is still a way off.
Making it possible to support multiple users within a single Ghost install is a significant piece of work, and there are many other things we're hoping to get working first. Like, for instance, support for @mentions and being able to add images to replies! (Foreshadowing)
So, my #hydration backpack arrived today.
I've adjusted it, so it fits nicely, removed the elastics that came with it for holding poles and the bladder has been washed and is drying in the kitchen.
The acid test will be taking it out for a run, and seeing how it feels, with my bits in it and getting used to being a dromedary.
The bladder that I got, holds 2 litres of water, I will likely only half fill it, not that i'll need that much, but mainly to see what that is like.
1. It is time that countries begin accepting trans refugees from the United States.
Refuge has always been a defining act in times of political persecution—this is one of those moments. History will remember who opens the door.

"There is almost no proof that Vance is responsible for the death of Pope Francis. All we know is that the vice president met with the pope, and a few hours later, the pope was dead. To draw a line between those two facts would almost definitely be a little bit premature."

terminology poll: what would you call the part of the operating system that is responsible for managing the pseudoterminal device? (handling ioctls, tracking the foreground process, remembering the terminal window size, turning `Ctrl+C` into a SIGTERM, handling `Ctrl+S` and `Ctrl+W`, etc)
(also open to hearing that you think that it's not just one thing or anything else really)

In low-key important space news, part of the Northrop Grumman (ex-Orbital ATK, ex-Morton Thiokol) facility that makes large solid rockets blew up last week. That could have significant schedule impacts to SLS and Vulcan.
that is like, i think a tough part of the problem here is that a blue check and a green lock are perceived differently by people, even if they are technically isomorphic
