Today is the first "extra night" (aukanætur) of four in the old Icelandic calendar, used to compensate for each month having 30 days and enabling each date to fall on the same weekday every year. Date hax. :blobcatgiggle:

The @ErgoDoxEZ@twitter.com Moonlander really needs another leg on the outside bottom corner so I can tip it forward without it wobbling when I actually use the palm rest :/

Only complaint I have with an otherwise excellent piece of kit!

I hoped we'd eventually get some p2p content-addressable protocol for decentralizing the Web, but one thing I didn't realize about it: it's extremely problematic for privacy.

Without a TOR-like layer, it would be broadcasting to the world everything you browse.

Putting a forward slash in Archive.org's search box seems to always result in an Elasticsearch error. I wonder how many times I've run into that before I noticed it today? I think I ran into it yesterday trying to search for a title with CP/M in it. Surprisingly searching for "cp m" actually returns a reasonable set of results.

(Makes me a little worried there's an input sanitation issue.)

As a kid it was the most normal, everyday thing that the phone at home rang, you had no idea who called, you just picked it up and said "Hello?".

Today when the phone rings:

"WHAT?! How? Who? Why? I've never seen this number, I'm not gonna pick it up!"
