It is kind of funny that the first allocated port outside of the "Well-known" (aka below port 1024) range is just a random "network blackjack" entry at port 1025

After an #ICE agent shot and killed the #Minneapolis mother, #conservative media launched an all-out attack on her #reputation. Her identity as a #queer woman was central to it.

My dedication to our community remains steadfast. I've travelled this country with the hopes of networking and growing the fediverse and our community.
However I've begged for help in exactly this area for as long as Elon has owned Xitter. I've begged our community for folks to step up to create a society.
Yet no one has stepped up. We've all had to figure this technical shit out on our own, in our own silos, and it seems no one wants to share their knowledge.
My sleepless nights of dealing with databases, and endless hours of googling is really starting to wear on me.
24 hours ago I asked for some help and it went to deaf ears. I'm doing everything I can but I'm really starting to burn the candle on both ends.
This is the problem with where we're at with the fediverse. We have people bending over backwards and there's no rescue boat in sight when they need help.
If we truly want to build community, we do it together.
At what point is my cup empty? There's 36,000 people here.
That said, I'm committed to making sure that mstdn.ca is stable, and am committed to making sure our community is the best it can be for years ahead.
But folks, we're running on shoestrings, not financially, but in people.
In less words: Volunteers are being abused on the fediverse.
In terms of me, I'm running on fumes. For a community of 36,000 people, there should be zero reason why the technical administration lies purely on my shoulders. I should be able to get on a Discord call and work through these issues.
As it is, here I am, in my 8x4 office, stressing covering the fact we're not delivering for our community completely alone.

Select All and Save in Alpine however it is too slow and easily fail simply because it took so long that remote server would kill the connection.Hey folks, when you come across a cool blog post, please
- link it in your blog if you have one
- Post a link here
I've found the best blogs from links here and also when an article referenced other blogs.
Keep in mind, the inter-NET needs links. Otherwise it's no net.
Did You Know... we have a lot of stuff?
sometimes, we get things that are broken or un-usable. sometimes things break and are not fixable or not worth fixing.
those things go into the e-waste pile of doom, from whence they are eventually taken to the Colorado Hard to Recycle Materials Facility.
howEVER, this time around we decided to add another step in that process. we'll be doing a "Take Our Stuff, Please!" free rummage on the porch on January 31 from 2-4 PM.
everything from letterpress type to broken circuit boards to partially scavenged computer towers to textbooks from the 80s - all free, for whatever use you might have for it...
save the date! bring your own bag or box! take whatever you want!

“Internal ICE planning documents propose spending up to $50 million on a privately run network capable of shipping immigrants in custody hundreds of miles across the Upper Midwest.”
Ghastly. This is an escalation of the Republican Fascist concentration camp system.
