Did you know it's been 2 years since SB17, #Texas' anti-DEI campus law went into effect?
I'm working on a survey of #LGBTQ+ orgs affected by this law, for The Barbed Wire. If you were part of, or know of a campus org that shut down or was forced to change goals due to SB17, please get in touch.

Turns out this was actually 108 gigabytes. Either way, I've now migrated from #Plausible to #Umami for my analytics needs and was able to transfer all my data seamlessly. Hopefully I won't have to switch to something else again, but just in case I did provision stats01, stats02 and stats03 domains for experiments :P

@inthehandsPaul Cantrell can't wait for their version of the Coventry Carol
Remember when we all had loads of different social web services to post different content to? Was reminded of this when looking at an old version of my personal website. I used to post artsy-fartsy stuff to Soup.io, book content to Goodreads, do goofy Foursquare checkins, and yes I’ll admit I indulged in “frictionless sharing” from Spotify for a while. Anyway, thinking I might up my Artsy-Fartsy content here on my Mastodon account. Or maybe use another fedi app like Wafrn, which is Tumblr-like.
I know cats have an very precise internal timer when it comes to feeding time, but I wonder if the kitty recognizes it visually on the clock?

Famous for product names like “Teams (for work or school)” and “Windows XP Professional Edition”, Microsoft has just renamed its Office work productivity software.
the new name is, and I am not kidding:
“the Microsoft 365 Copilot app” https://www.office.com
I just learned that Stewart Cheifet passed away only a few days ago on December 28th, 2025. For those unfamiliar with him, he was the creator and host of The Computer Chronicles in the 80s and 90s and over 400 episodes.
It’s fascinating to go back and watch old episodes. This isn’t just a time capsule of retro-computing, they actually aired informative, highly technical, computer-oriented television on PBS like this episode from 1985 on UNIX.
Here’s an excellent interview @leolaporte.me@bsky.brid.gy did with Stewart Cheifet a dozen years ago that covers many of the main beats of his story.

Triangulation 114: Stewart Che...
Stewart Cheifet died last weekend at age 87. Those of a certain age and nerdiness will remember Cheifet as the host of Computer Chronicles, a public television show about personal computing that aired in the 80s and 90s. https://computerchronicles.blog/post/stewart-cheifet-1938-2025/
The daily Gnocchi! She's getting more comfortable every day.
I've been out of the loop for a couple of years on Linux phones. I'm poking around on blogs and Mastodon posts, but I figured I'd just ask:
Whats currently (as of January 2026) the most functional, stable, boring phone + OS combination?
Edit: I have been so thrilled with the conversations! Thank you all for sharing projects, experiences, knowledge, and links! I'm also following a lot of new folks :) This post is at 400+ boosts, so no need to continue boosting :)

In 1999, Netscape Communications Corporation had 2,500 employees.
By 2008, the company was defunct.
It's a tiny petty thing but I finally looked up how to get Git to check out any branch (including 'main') as of some commit, instead of the current latest commit. git checkout -B <branch> <commit/tag/etc>
Unlike a detached HEAD checkout, this still lets you do 'git pull' or equivalents to later bring yourself up to the head of the branch (and you can diff between it and the upstream head and etc etc). It's especially handy for projects that tag releases on their main branch.

Started blogging in ’95. Nearly all site’s my content from the past 30 years is still up. Sadly, the same can’t be said for most third-party content I linked to. Happily, the Internet Archive Wayback Machine Link Fixer solves much of this.

hey, listen! 🦋
Okay #MedMastodon folks - The instance is now back up and running I'm pleased to share. Things might take a moment to catch-up and I have sent out an announcement so hopefully anyone that had accounts that doesn't see this will get the e-mail ping letting them know everything is currently back online.
I will post a bit more about the plan in the near future but the long story short is nothing is planned to change that folks will see, the main goal for me is to get the site up and running, catch up on the activities that look to be outstanding and get a plan together for migrating everything onto new infrastructure.
Also a huge shoutout to 
@mastohost who have been excellent at keeping the server "Paused" effectively without deleting data even when there was no confirmed migration path and a real big thanks to Nick for being willing to transfer the server and keep the community running!

first day back working done! excited to get back into emoji nonsense, this time redoing the picker.
but first: search! it's veryyyy tempting to go over the top with Levenshtein distances and such, but i will resist the overkill approach 
i *am* very excited to try and add renaming custom emojis and emoji categories tho...

Thanks to everyone who attended my talk at #39C3 - it was great fun 🙂
Here’s a slightly modified video of the demo at the end of the talk.
#whitedate is still down. #whitedeal and #whitechild show a front page but aren’t functional - let’s see how long it stays that way.
Many thanks to DDoSecrets and the antifa for their work and support.
Not all details will follow right now -we gotta keep a bit of the magic alive.
A more detailed report will appear in due time.
Unpopular opinion .....
I'm hoping 2026 is the year that cooks and chefs refrain from using the term "pan fried".
Fried is all that is needed. Or deep fried. Even shallow fried. But show me how you fry without a pan.
I suspect I'm doomed to disappointment.
