#FediHire
We are looking for an admin, 50%, TV-L pay, Dresden, hybrid work.

Honestly, it would be perfect for someone who is looking for a side hustle to support another passion.

Pretty simple tasks, flexible hours, no overtime required, no actual stress. Security is mostly handled directly by the "mothership".
(WIN/Linux/bit of network)

What we would need from you:
Reliability and a willingness to learn new things as they come up.

We are a friendly bunch.

Just saying... Democrats threatening to gerrymander if Texas gerrymanders is not going to stop them. Democrats need to just go ahead and do it everywhere they can. Then they can discuss making a deal.

The calcareous cavern under the video rental store has all the best tapes. There's the tape where everyone you know is made of crudely-carved foam and they speak to you of embarrassing things you said years ago. There's the one where a homunculus crawls out of the screen and tries to eat your hair.

A friend of mine has been described by his friends as "the opposite of a sociopath," as in going so far out of his way to please others that it's to his own detriment.

He and I were chatting about this and decided there should be a word for it.

The word sociopath is formed from two parts: socio- for society and -path, from the Greek pathos, meaning suffering.

Looking for a suffix of opposite meaning, I found the Greek word agathos, which means benefit or good.

So, if a sociopath is someone who causes others to suffer for their own benefit, we propose the term "sociagath" for someone who does good for others while causing themselves to suffer.

Went for my Sunday walk on the beach and was treated to a low tide, crabs in tidepools, a dog birthday party, and dolphins playing outside the break.

Pretty fantastic.

Day 3 of Voting Village 2025! We had a great talks program Friday and Saturday. Stop by W222-223 this morning to play with voting equipment, buy a shirt, or just say hi before we pack up.

Also, huge shoutout to the @defcon security goons, who have gone out of their way to help keep our village safe and calm.

Just a question but are there any omg.lol members with a weather station in their garden? I've had weather.omg.lol for a while now and maybe I should finally actually do something with it.

maybe the official omg.lol weather network could be a thing?

As I’ve mentioned I have no cats! Therefore I give you this trippy turquoise specimen for #SaturFrog. It is the subject of a rare genetic condition known as axanthism, it lacks the ability to produce yellow pigmentation. Our fav bullfrog, we’ve seen it twice in our local wetlands park. #Hiking #AltText
