Apparently my Tajín tree is finally bearing fruit. Also, my kids leave crap in the strangest places.

おふとんになった

えらいので

why is the page I'm testing on multiple VMs (with no copy/paste) using a 97-character URL?

better question: are there any link shorteners that will still work on Netscape Navigator 4?

Are you finding it hard to keep track with all the things that are happening on the Open Social Web, or you would like to get involved, but don't quite know where to start?

At the next FediForum, June 5-7, we are partnering with Laurens Hof from the Fediverse Report to help you get oriented in a session on the first day...

『FediForum』 - https://fediforum.org/

The progressive think tank The Sanders Institute is calling for a day of action on September 21 (the upcoming solar equinox) to celebrate the power of renewable energy.

Some ways to participate:

- e-bike parades
- opening new solar parks
- marching for laws that benefit renewables
- tours of homes with heat pumps

#Rooting a new #Xiaomi device is getting totally ridiculous these days.

I already jumped through the hoop to "request bootloader unlock permission" in one of Xiaomi's #bloatware apps at **EXACTLY** midnight beijing time, at least this worked. Now the second step would be to actually unlock the boot loader. On #FreeBSD, I can't use Xiaomi's unlocker tool (but I guess that's actually a good thing), so I found some python script that also works (after a bit of fiddling with it, patching shebang and removing some nonsense), and see what it tells me now.

Xiaomi, you used to be cool, a long time ago... 🙄

I received the email from #Trakt about VIP price increase. It changes from US$30 to US$60 per year.
It’s time to search for another tool to save my #TVShows and #movies history.

Laurens has published over a hundred issues of his newsletter in the past 2+ years, and he keeps track of everything that happens with ActivityPub, ATProto and all the projects from Mastodon and Pixelfed to Bluesky! So he's the perfect person to run this session.

Bring your questions! And then join us for the rest of FediForum in sessions with many of the people who make it happen.

재외선거 시작하면 사퇴고 뭐고 못하게 해야지

이번 대선 재외국민 투표가 당장 5월 20일부터 25일인데, 이 기간에 단일화니 뭐니 하는 건 숫자는 한줌단이겠지만 재외국민들에게 또 한 차례 엿을 먹이는 거나 똑같다. 지난 대선 때에도 안철수가 단일화를 재외선거 끝나고 해서 욕을 먹었던 거의 컴백인가.

Just got back from a great run. The temperature is rising and the sun was strong. As funny as it sounds, I love running in the heat! #running

Really enjoyed your "Server that wasn't meant to exist" post. And respect your decision to decline the full-time position…I too prefer the mix of work that comes with multiple jobs.

I wrote a short piece of documentation today describing the ActivityPub protocol extensions that Vernissage introduces. They’re strictly focused on photos, and other photo‑centric platforms (and not only those) are welcome to use them. You can find the description here: https://joinvernissage.org/ns#
