@esselfortium kind of related, I’m in your fair county right now and I see that Ancient Aliens is a tv show

@timbray @anildash @inertiate I’ve never managed to have a useful local timeline and I’ve given up trying. It’s kind of contrary to the point of federation anyway

My poor brain is too ruined right now (awake 24h) but this is 🤯 https://ethw.org/Ancient_Computers

Prepping for Portland

@csepp @mjg59 I can only answer for why I sometimes do it: to make something more easily memorable or to make something fit onto a slide in a presentation

@jzb your blog post about blogging has inspired me to try and get some blog posts off the ground again. Thank you!

@juliank I’ve never explored why but I’ve always, ALWAYS had problems pairing my headphones to Linux and perhaps this (intel) is why

@neil @stephstephking @probgoblin @dubsteppenwolf YES! My wife achieves nearly 100% of her computer stuff on phone, I’m always frustrated and wishing a “real” computer was within reach

Not a generation difference here though, we’re the same age (neither zoomer or boomer)

@survey I gave it a good go but no, back on X

@toresbe hey Tore! 👋 cool to see you here!

@zhenech d'oh!

I forgot you were in Portland! I’m at a conference there in a week or so’s time. My first time in the city

@cks mastodon might get better. Pleroma (Erlang) is reportedly fleeter of foot, but partially at the cost of features.

@emacsen I’d be really interested in this but not as an admin; to be a useful transparency tool for Fediverse confidence

New work tool

@dualhammers so I started this and ended up deciding I needed to write some prerequisite blog post and also ended up planning an overhaul 🤷‍♂️

I hope to get at least one post out today

@giuliano_b @nova it’s a shame that the only uri form of the three recognised is not supported by Pleroma (the ‘@‘ in particular)

@csteacher i did host my own four-ish years ago but I’m afraid I can’t remember if that was an option (then)

It’s not every day I’m accused of “divine genocide”

@peter quite possibly, thanks!
