*I went to school a couple of times but I did not work out well for the teachers, then I discovered the LIBRARY!!

When I walked the princess to her first day of school the first place we went was the LIBRARY.

When I could not explain how I knew the answer to math problems teachers would send me to the office who would put me to work or to the LIBRARY.

Why hello, Eugene! I thought I'd encountered a lot of ducks and solar panels this morning, but that's a lot of pumpkins!

The year is 2026 and we still do not have the necessary technology to keep the wrapper from sticking to the taffy and tearing when you open it so you end up eating part of the wrapper by accident.

We need to do better, people!

Almost nailed it -- 2 inches of snow yesterday BUT 20° overnight, so only the lower half of the mountain was open due to the ice, with discounts on ticket prices.

Oh, you like dogs, name every dog then.

And send pictures, and tell me their names, let me pet their cute little heads!

@mcc Having this same set of feelings today, but regarding not remembering Joe Manchin's name.

It's not entirely an age thing, since I can clearly remember times from the early 2010s when I forgot the names of well known people. I just worry now about the frequency of instances and whether it signals cognitive decline.

Like 2 year ago I rented a yearly vps for 60$ a year, 4 core 6gb ram 160gb ssd, same deal same from the same site now gives you 60gb ssd, so it isn’t as viable to cheaply host your content.

Prob plenty for yourself if videos are compressed, but hosting for multiple ppl definitely got more expensive to the point where it’s not as viable to spin up a peertube instance compared to any other.

I believe you are looking for PeerTube. Or Loops if you make more short form videos.

In better news I've finally figured out the perfect analogy for what the fediverse is in the larger social media verse.

We're the shire. We're in our nice little country village posting pictures of mushrooms, cats ,and trees. We also gossip about the people going on adventures outside the shire and complain about the evil places of the world over a pint of ale.

Bluesky is Gondor, X is Mordor and Truth Social is Barad-dûr.

Greetings fellow hobbits!

@mastodonmigration It's also a BOGO. Boost one, Get rid of one. 😊 Fetterman says he'll leave if Van Hollen becomes speaker.

@TheVinylApe I endorse the attempt!

People need to stop recommending server directories to the newbies. People genuinely don’t grok how ActivityPub works out of the gate, and they trip all over that shit. There’s only a handful of open registration PeerTube sites, anyway. We should just point them to, like, clip.place.

Fuck, man.
This is PHENOMENAL.

Sorry, Boss.

With all these outages and AI bubbles bursting and all, my little home server seems more and more like the right way to go.

Despite running on Arch, it's very stable, so far, runs everything I throw at it with ease, great up time, and more secure. I won't be allowing ssh access from remote networks, so it even feels more secure too. I can also use all my old hard drives to host my video content.

It's a lot cheaper than VPSes too, although I'll be keeping my hetzner VPS, just in case.

Today is National American Teddy Bear Day - 4 Facts!

• The name comes from a bear-hunting trip in Mississippi in November 1902.
• Clifford Berryman's cartoon of it ran in The Washington Post on November 16, 1902.
• Morris Michtom saw the cartoon and founded the Ideal Novelty and Toy Co.
• Steiff showed its bear at the Leipzig Toy Fair in March 1903, and a buyer ordered 3,000 for the United States.
