An excellent little machine by @North has just arrived. I plan to use it to implement an inventory system at home to reduce waste, since it's disgracefully easier to order new parts than remember what I already have. I intend to use it together with InvenTree and Ki-nTree to get an accurate count of my personal components stock. #electronics

@alex You pointed out an interesting issue of spam, etc, going FROM mastodon servers TO Threads as a potential issue for them as they look at real world complexity in adopting ActivityPub. Can you think of any structural or tech features that we might build in the next 4 months to alleviate that? Would seem an issue we would need to solve for Tumblr, etc, as well…

" There is an argument that it is ethnically targeted," Kennedy said of the virus, according to the Post. "COVID-19 attacks certain races disproportionately... COVID-19 is targeted to attack Caucasians and black people. The people who are most immune are Ashkenazi Jews and Chinese."

This man is a TOTAL FUCKING LUNATIC.

RFK Jr. suggests COVID-19 could have been 'ethnically targeted' to spare Jews

In a couple of weeks, I'll be teaching a class on Greek mythology to 12-14-year-olds. I knew that one of our former teachers taught The Odyssey regularly, so I suspected there might be some useful materials in her old file cabinets. I did not expect to find multiple photocopied pages from the AD&D 2nd edition Monstrous Manual. #DnD #TTRPG #TTRPGs

Ken Ham really does believe in climate change…but only the kind where God throws you into a lake of fire and makes you burn for all eternity.

expanding on my bio a little to create an #introduction

I became fascinated with computers in the early 70s, got HookedOnUnixoids™️ in the 80s, helped design & code a FOSS Multiuser Online Virtual Environment System (MOVES) called VNet in the 90s, & ran a test/demo site at https://web.archive.org/web/19990129012736/http://ariadne.iz.net/~jeffs/vnet/ so what "Meta" has made seems mundane.

I worked with the W3C Mobile Web Initiative in the 2000s, so all your devices could work together & look & act about the same.

I play with h/w, s/w, ideas, and 🐈‍⬛
