I have an offer to make: do you want to run an instance on the fediverse for a group that's underrepresented here?

I'll pay the bills. Period.

I'll do admin if needed (software updates and the like). But you decide what kind of community you want it to be, so you put together the mod team.

DM me.

Today I saw someone toot, in dismay, people are posting their everyday life to Mastodon when they could simply buy a diary for $1.99. I can't stop thinking about this.
What if this is all they have? What if they're isolated with or without people in their life? What if the only kind word they […]

Interesting. I've noticed that Rocky (one of @[email protected]'s mum's cats) is particularly rubbish at grooming his left flank, and wondered if this was correlated with a leftward bias in his flopping habits...

Immersion wired up, and with feeling in my fingers restored, wasted no time finishing the pipework for the heating loop. We appear to have working heating again, and just need to attach the thermostat to the cylinder to have hot water. (Gas-fired for now. That's a problem for another day.) […]

New cylinder in place, and we now have cold water coming from the hot taps (rather than no water coming from the hot taps). Should get the immersion working in the morning, so I can get the rest of the pipework done without having to wash schmoo off my hands in freezing water.

(So @bloor@bloor […]

Just finished a 3-hour bumblefuckery epic uninstalling the old hot water cylinder (managed it in the end, but my pipe cutter died for the cause).

So it must be time to catch up with @[email protected]'s heat pump saga...

Btw, I made a meme back then, but I lost it, so I made a new one:
Picture separated into three fields. First field shows an ordinary black and white cow. Caption says: COO Second field shows a hairy Scottish Highland Cow. Caption says: HEILAN' COO Third field shows that idiot dressed in a cow costume during the invasion on the Capitol. Caption says: ATTEMPTED COO

Please don't toot quotations from fascist morons for us all to condemn together. I'm on Mastodon to *avoid* reading what fascist morons say. I'm really distraught that the Internet has given them a voice. They belong back in their photocopied 80s skinhead fanzines.

I've previously muttered about how people born before about 1970 shouldn't be allowed to use electricity without supervision. I'm revising this statement to include 'nails'.

@[email protected] I took it a step further...
Close up photographe of the back of an orange and black label printing machine, with a black-on-white label, printed by the machine, that reads "Label printer" stuck to it. The last two letters of this are mostly obscured by a smaller, white-on-black label, also printed by the machine, that reads "Label printer label"

Advice / recommendations please

I need a simple site to host images to upload onto my Mataroa blog site.

It needs to be mobile friendly.
It must not require images to be downsized before uploading.
The output URL must work with Mataroa (or Bear blog etc)
Storage of images for at least 6months […]

I've reached the age where my joints ache on cold damp days and seriously, this is bullshit. How do my joints even know what the weather's doing anyway? My hips are completely surrounded by soggy meat at constant body temperature, how do they even know what the weather's like outside?

@[email protected] Flomask for glasses-compatibility, ear comfort and filtering exhalations.

I have a full-on 3M respirator that seals much better for dusty/solventy work. That briefly got used at the start of the COVID-19 era, but it's uncomfortable after about an hour and doesn't filter […]

Did you know your MacBook has a sensor that knows the exact angle of the screen hinge?

It’s not exposed as a public API, but I figured out a way to read it and make it sound like an old wooden door.

There is a woman in this carnage (on the train) who has just taken the seat apart to recover a lost earbud, really, I am not making this up. She borrowed a multi tool from a fellow passenger... Now she is trying to put it back together again...

As hoped, these are a game changer for disc (in the aerodynamic rather than braking sense) wheels, where you need a narrow right-angle head to fit through the hole in the disc. The positive click action requires surprisingly little […]
