Went down a #FediMerch rabbit hole tonight and found a few new items.

This is a first! Some of the members of metalhead.club got together and made an anthem for their instance and it's available for purchase (or listen for free). They've got t-shirts, patches and more, too.

Will be adding to the Fediverse Merch list as soon as I get permission.

There is no way I could use those steps without slipping off and injuring myself in a demeaning way. Considering this is in a bedroom, there is not even a towel rack nearby.

You forget that at least five of your servants would be surrounding the bath at all times to help you out, hand you your towel and champagne and dress you etc.


It should be required to pronounce Godzilla's name like Ken Watanabe does. Gojira. Otherwise a public flogging.



"The skies 41,000 years ago may have been both spectacular and threatening. When we realized this, we two geophysicists wanted to know whether this could have affected people living at the time.

The archaeologist's answer was absolutely."

APOD from 2018-09-22

Window Seat over Hudson Bay

A flight from San Francisco to Zurich captured the aurora borealis over Hudson Bay, enhanced by a high altitude sunrise. A Perseid meteor is also visible beneath the Big Dipper. Both phenomena occur around 100 km up, with aurorae from charged particles and meteors from comet dust.

in reply to Mathaetaes

@mathaetaes yup. A couple of potential alternatives you could check out... Genasys Protect app for all sorts of local emergency notifications and WatchDuty which is specific for fire activity.
in reply to Sally Monster

@SallyMonster @mathaetaes Not government software, per se, it's a private contractor providing notification software. (who I write software for, LOL)

The governments don't have individual information on you as a citizen, at the moment. But, always a risk of future compromise and/or subpoena and/or whatever crap is going on in the US feds right now.

in reply to AI6YR Ben

@SallyMonster @mathaetaes Alternative is you can send alerts to a phone number, which can be any phone number.
in reply to AI6YR Ben

@SallyMonster @mathaetaes its possible theyre just basing it on source ip. or - if you have the sd emergency app, it just assumes you're here 😁
in reply to Viss

@Viss @SallyMonster @mathaetaes That's an opt-in system... (source: I write software for that company as a contractor, lol)
in reply to AI6YR Ben

@SallyMonster I don't think Watch Duty requests GPS info... I dunno about the others. On the one hand, I like how Watch Duty only knows my county. On the other hand, getting alerts for every fire in such a large area can be fatigue-inducing.

It's been a while since I did any mobile app reversing. Checking out a few of these emergency apps and doing a privacy assessment on them might be a fun project, if I had any free time. 🙁
