I've had requests for accounts to follow on here for specific countries/regions. There are many listed at:
➡️ https://fedi.directory/local-and-regional
This has accounts from most European countries, all US states, all Canadian provinces etc. (Some have fewer accounts than others though.)
To follow an account listed on the site, copy-paste its Fediverse address into the search box in Mastodon, then click follow.

What’s it like living in Minneapolis / St. Paul right now?
This weekend, ICE abducted two people straight out of a car near where I live. Just straight up stopped the car and took them.
I found out because neighbors were trying to figure out what to do with the car, which ICE just left there blocking the street.

@inthehandsPaul Cantrell - We had that here, too. People just weren't there anymore.
About 50 years later, people started remembering. After some fights with local governments, it has become typical to place brass cobblestones in front of their houses with names, birthdates, and the Concentration Camp where they were murdered or perished.
You can find them on many inner city sidewalks.
The degree to which they are hated by some is testament to how necessary they are.
If you’re a member of ICE, you might want to look over your shoulder if a woman acts like she finds you attractive. Yes yes, I know that will be a new and exciting experience for you, but…. https://tech.lgbt/@melioristicmarie/115883621933538964

there are things that you can't automate, that are not worth automating, that you should not automate. it isn't cheaper, it isn't better. it might scale faster, but the thing it scales is mediocrity

Did you know that science has progressed to the point that you can get your blood checked for antibodies against COVID19 and if those antibodies are coming from vaccination or infection? I do this check once a year. And the results are in. Still vaccination only. My regimen of #WearAMask and avoiding risky situations seems to work. Next year I'll order the test again. In Germany it costs around €50-75, depending on the lab. Ask your doctor to get it done. That's how I did it.
Every year in December I get a hankering for some kind of Weird Systems Project. It's the season when I built my Forth machine, etc.
This year, I transcribed the Smalltalk-80 VM description from the Blue Book into Rust. I then started iterating on it, applying types and optimizations where they didn't fundamentally change the behavior. Things that let the VM skip runtime checks that the compiler can prove happened, etc.
So it's about 2-3x as fast now.
How fast? Well, when the books were published in 1983, a naive transcription of the interpreter often managed a few thousand bytecodes/sec, and 200k/sec was considered very good.
Mine is currently doing about 70M/s on my laptop.
Part of that is "computers got fast," but a lot of it is also "compilers got good."
This message is intended for Canadian #Mastodon admins who are running public instances large and small. If you are an admin, please share with your counterparts. If you are a member of a Canadian instance, please send this to your admin.
A small group of us (Note: really, really small) are in early discussions on how to encourage our government - individual politicians & federal, provincial, and municipal departments - to move their social media presence to Mastodon. This would involve an awareness campaign targeting politicians, party HQs, and departments/agencies.
We are asking for input from admins to help us create a future state vision for this project, and provide us with advice or ideas on how to bring it to a reality. I will set up a web call within the next 3 weeks and hopefully you can participate. We are not asking you to contribute beyond input. Please DM me and I will add you to the invitees.

You notice how thousands and thousands of cops aren't coming out to condemn Jonathan Ross for senselessly killing Renee Good? This is what people mean by "all cops are bastards". If this were any other profession, the entire group would condemn it. With cops it's the reverse, they all justify it.

Ah, another day full of Microsoft joy.
Months ago: $DAYJOB disabled access to standard IMAP/SMTP clients, limiting only to approved UA IDs via OAUTH2. So no mutt/neomutt, no OfflineImap/mbsync, no Claws, and no Thunderbird. Just the Outlook thick-client and the web-client. Fine, so I'll use the thick-client.
A month or three ago: some upgrade happened breaking the Outlook thick client. Their only options were upgrading the OS on the VM (to support the latest Outlook thick-client) or using the web interface. They didn't upgrade the VM, so I'm stuck with the unbearable web interface.
Today: I go to log into the webmail interface, and the SSO server web interface is down preventing me from reading or sending *any* email. Including what would have been cached offline by any of the above clients.
Meanwhile, my personal IMAP/SMTP server? still provides access from any CLI, GUI, sync-utility, or web client I set up. My MUA allows for offline access, so at least I can compose replies and queue them up if things go offline. Sigh.
I guess it's time to find something other than work to do.

求親不成還要告人家 ？
Spent this whole day digging through my main 2Tb data hard drive. It's virtually an Augean stables: years upon years of sloppy backups with duplicates upon duplicates upon duplicates. Backups with backups inside of backups. Cultural layers that allegedly ascend to Cro-Magnon times, but dating is fuzzy in some cases.
Deleted 1Tb of excessive data. Duplicates, movies, TV shows (almost 200Gb of The Big Bang Theory).
Thousands of books that I collected "because I might need them". I figured that I probably won't need books I never even knew I have for the last 10 years. Music albums I never listened.
Now there's some semblance of order. And huge 2Tb chunk of data that felt like burden (for example, I have to choose OS that is able to work with this particular file system and do it well, because I don't have enough spare space to maneuver with this big data chunk) now feels lighter and manageable.
I asked myself how much data I really need? What is is essential and what I just happen to keep for years? Turns out I don't really need that much data. Even in case of digital apocalypse I won't be able to read these thousands of books and won't watch these movies I didn't really like in the first place.

Hello new people, nice to see you all! 👋
These may help you get the most out of Mastodon:
- You don't need to use the official app, most people prefer third party apps and alternative options: https://fedi.tips/which-apps-can-i-use-should-i-use-the-official-app-or-a-third-party-app

What started in late 2024 finally landed in early 2026 🎉
I now have a working PoC for #CloudNativeBuildpacks on #FreeBSD and #Podman.
Next up: revisiting the steps, simplifying them, documenting everything, and iterating until this becomes something more useful than just “Hello, world”.
