A photograph I shot a few days ago at beautiful Nambucca Heads, New South Wales, Australia of our beautiful Pacific Ocean with pretty colors in the water and rolling waves. It was so windy this day I could hardly stand still to capture this image. Hence, you will see some spray and mist above the waves created by this strong wind. Mother Nature has so much to offer. THE FINE ART AMERICA LOGO WILL NOT APPEAR ON PURCHASED PRINTS OR PRODUCTS.

Holy moly, I had occasion to look at my old Twitter feed today (I will never willingly call it X), and it's deader than a doornail. There are still people posting there, but the frequency is less than my Fediverse feed with way more users.

Are you into 3D printing, self-hosting and the Fediverse?

If so you might want to look into Manyfold, a FOSS Fediverse platform which lets you upload and share 3D print models:

🌱 https://manyfold.app

You can follow the official accounts at:

🌱 @manyfold@3dp.chat (main)
🌱 @manyfold@makertube.net (videos)

You can host your own Manyfold server using the instructions at https://manyfold.app/get-started/installation (be warned though, installation does require a bit of tech skill).

The Fediverse doesn't need an age verification system. The youngest person who ever signed up was 27. They left when they realized that the second youngest was in their late 30s.

RE: https://chaos.social/@ordnung/116883324439423468

Question: Has chaos.social taken any action against the moderator who muted accounts that are Gaza Verified? I mean, you understand what an inhumane action this is, yes?

“These accounts are verified as belonging to people suffering genocide in Palestine. I will now mute them.”

That is not a “mistake.”

That is evil.

That is genocide complicity.

Is this person still moderating your instance?

@kali @david @aral

We get a lot of reports for spam/donation requests in general. A couple of months ago, we muted accounts with a gazaverified link in their bio -- we reversed this decision when a user pointed this out to us, and have since taken great care to *not* take any moderation action against accounts with the gazaverified profile link, literally part of our mod checklist.

(I can't guarantee that we never get this wrong, but we're happy to fix mistakes if people talk to us.)

You guys know what to do: report and block this genocide-complicit zionist hasbara account.

"It's a #Fediblock #StreisandEffect, Charlie Brown"

Thanks to this useless post wanting to block something they don't like on personal standards of what is substance to the entire #FediVerse I found a place to buy something I really was looking for for my self hosting homelab at $40 off. I didn't have to Google, look at Reddit spaces, etc. just was made aware of the account by this post alone in the image. Yeah, being able to find products without all the tracking, personal data risks, etc is pretty substantial. I'll be the judge of what is substance to me.

BTW, I support commercial purpose accounts. From photographers selling their photographs, to artists, painters, musicians selling their art and crafts, to Flohmarkt Craigslist like federated platform, podcasters, authors and writers using platforms that are Fediverse based or capable with monetized elements... Even accounts that post this type of daily wire in the image. Maybe someday, businesses will be plentiful and a good coupon or sale will come my way.

I removed the account name in the image to prevent dogpiling...

Alt...

#FediBlock Recommendation. The only thing this account does is flog trash. Yes, I know I can bloc the account myself, and probably will, but this is direct #commercialization that is adding nothing of substance at all..

A red and white coffee cup features a simple heart detail and the word "Coffee" across the front, with three curling lines of steam rising above. Set against a warm woven-texture background, the composition combines bold color, rough painted edges, and a casual hand-drawn look.

one of the benefits of #hacking on an early project like #deltanet is being able to take a rattle-can and make your own graffiti

let's see if the author allows me to tag his building without a permit.

this is like the most exciting project i've experienced this year. bringing #fediverse like social web to #deltachat

if this pops off like i think it might, that whole fedi it's over trope may no longer be a trope

I promised it, so here it is. This is a recording of littleFedi running on a Raspberry Pi Zero W on NetBSD.

Everything is on the SD card, the database is SQLite, and caching is enabled.

Personally, I won't comment on responsiveness or anything else; I'll just say that when I use it (both via the web interface and with apps like MastoBlaster or IceCubes), I find it hard to believe what kind of hardware it's running on.

Users' sessions (by default, a maximum of 8 users but configurable) are kept "warm" with every interaction or federated activity for 15 minutes since the last login; after that, the server enters "low power mode" and simply processes incoming data without activating the (users' timelines, etc.) cache.

We don't need to get ripped off for more powerful hardware, which comes with outrageous costs these days.

We just need to optimize and build efficient software.

Abundance led to waste.

How many storms did it survive? How many birds found shelter in its branches? How many forests began from its seeds? An old tree is a lifetime of giving. Let's be the generation that protects, not destroys, our natural heritage.

We recently started this project (sweet potatoes growing ) bug am looking for someone who can help us out by teaching us how to grow these potatoes effectively. The potatoes grew well and healthy looking but they didn't put on any potatoe over there down when we reached the day of harvesting , the we couldn't get anything.
