Thirty minutes earlier, we were plying the waters of Geirangerfjord. It's been one #zen moment after another.

It's blue skies with enough scattered clouds to keep the reflections at bay. Geirangerfjord is a UNESCO WH Site & one of the most spectacular fjords in Norway. #WaterWednesday #WaterfallWednesday

What's that?! Server upgrades!


I ordered a new dedicated server that should speed this site up considerably. Should be done with the move tomorrow. If all goes well it should be seamless with little/no downtime... we'll see how that goes. Lol

Also, I have a mastodon server up at turtlesallthewaydown.com and a lemmy server at kitty.ly you all should check out.

in reply to Kevin

Now we’re switched over. If you see any issues let me know!
in reply to Kevin

Seems much much quicker to me. If you notice ANY slowness let me know. I have the old server for about 2 weeks longer so if you all think it's slower now I can always move back and cancel the new server.

In the early 90s I enjoyed the tv show Northern Exposure a great deal.

It’s incredibly important to me to never watch a minute of it again, except maybe the piano catapult scene. I need to keep it a distant memory from a distant time.

Since #LoveOfMyLife is at a conference somewhere far away, I went forndinner myself, at our favorite "Asian"* restaurant.

The people are awesome here, the food is really good and the atmosphere is lovely.

I really like it here.

*: they call it that way themselves, ans the restaurant's name is "Asia Ho Giesing". The cuisine is Vietnamese, some Tha, sushi, and some Chinese... so, peobably ok to call it that way, though Asia is waaaaay bigger

Extract from President Zelenskyy's evening address

Why would an evil witch make a whole house out of sticky candy? And wouldn't there be a whole lot of food safety issues in eating that candy, what with dust, insects, birds pooping, and so on? These children's writers have a nasty tendancy to gloss over the really important details.
in reply to Bruce Toews

I honestly did wonder this as a child. I decided the house couldn't be structurally sound either with only candy, so I imagined it had lollipop sticks for stability. therefore, the house would feel like a half-eaten lollipop, especially one of those with gum inside. Those are particularly sticky and gross.


#Mastodon is taking off! But Internet history provides numerous examples of other promising platforms for the digital public sphere that have died untimely deaths (remember Second Life?).

@rwg and @aram, who have reviewed the history and looked at the challenges, and still bullish on the #Fediverse.

Do you think Mastodon will have staying power? theconversation.com/the-fedive…
#MastodonMigration

in reply to The Conversation U.S.

🤫 more than Mastodon or Pixelfed...
I'm still thinking about whether there could be a Fediverse where, for example, controversial (state) representatives would be read at all..? On which additional levels would journalists have to move in order to still see the controversial things despite being hidden or blocked?
Even if I feel extremely comfortable here (would like to read more science here) - some aspects of the former Twitter may be difficult to implement...
in reply to The Conversation U.S.

My Mastodon instance need no external funding. It thus has provably more staying power than any commercially funded service.

I think we can anticipate what's going to happen here.

Suddenly there will be 'holes' in this collection as it's looted by Trump allies and friends, holdings that tell a different story of American history/culture will be damaged destroyed or 'lost,' and some will find their way on the black market.

This criminal enterprise we call a presidency needs to be destroyed.

But oh well. Can't look to the #Dems for that.
