Pondering this one - yes, I stress, I am not a graphic designer. Is this going to upset someone?
P.S. Great feedback, thanks.
@revk You mistranslated "Keep your yappy, smelly, unwashed shitmachines out of my pub".
@mart_brooks Well, if it was my pub to run, I would, but I have tried with the "well behaved" aspect... I'd also go for no smoking in garden or out front. But there are compromises to running these things.
Oh, and one "yappy", i.e the dog, not the owner, got banned at one point I think.
@revk The white text needs a border for visibility. I'd also cut the dog much closer.
(DIsclaimer: I don't speak Welsh, that's how the internet says it's written)
@revk I mean... given that the logo names the town 'Y Fenni', I can't help feeling that a multi-lingual poster should *probably* include some Cymraeg.
@revk only from a contrast ratio accessibility point of view. Add a dark shadow to the white text and you’ll be good.
Cute dog.
@revk I would write "well-behaved" with a hyphen, but I may be being horribly old-fashioned there :)
@revk
Please don't do that again. Suddenly there was no oxford comma and I thought I had been hallucinating.
🆕 blog! “5,025 Km, 21 Journeys, and 10 Countries in 30 Days - An Interrailing Adventure”
Interrail were having a sale on their month-long first class tickets. So Liz and I decided to do a "Grand Tour" - running around and seeing a dozen European cities.
There are lots of companies which will sell you a…

@Edent Great itinerary! I'm on a Eurail trip myself at the moment, from London to Istanbul. I used the lounge at Budapest Keleti too!
@Edent We did a train trip to Switzerland and Austria last year. A few issues with the trains, but we coped. When trains get cancelled you lose your reserved seat.
Daughter did a big interrail across Europe last year staying in hostels. It's a nice way to travel generally. You see more than if you fly.
We may well do more train trips around Europe.
Hashtag following also allow URLs to RSS feeds of ActivityPub objects (like e.g. https://mastodon.social/tags/ThankYouTuesday).
Users can now configure a webhook to receive an HTTP POST for every notification. This can be useful for implementing bots that react to activities, like autorepliers, chatbots or interactive textual games (see snac(1)
for more information).
The number of pending follow confirmations is shown next to the "people" link.
Faster performance metrics (contributed by dandelions).
Improved lowercasing in hashtags (contributed by postscriptum).
A search-by-url tweak for implementations that return 200 for invalid webfinger queries (e.g. piefed).
Mastodon API: added follow confirmation endpoints, fixed collisions in attachment file names.
Fixed potential crashes in attachment uploads.
If you find #snac useful, please consider buying grunfink a coffee or contributing via LiberaPay.
@grunfink thanks for all your great work and I can’t say how much I regret that I was simply too impatient and switched to Mastodon. Moving back on the same domain requires me to do a bit more like:
- creating snac on a new domain
- moving/migrating my account to the new domain
- creating snac on my old domain
- moving/migrating my account to the old domain again
I’m still too lazy but this must be done! I need to get rid of this slow, fatty Elephant/Mastodon.
I'm on latest GIT version from today, running in FreeBSD
https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/pull/28613
I'm not sure why, but it seems as if the GitHub Continuous Integration checks are just... hanging? They were queued for a really long time and I stopped looking and when I checked again it was like "running" or whatever for 9 hours, but clearly probably nothing is actually happening.
Builds locally OK!
It's been a couple of days since I submitted that PR, and my apologies for lagging upstream as well. My life has been kinda, off.
I'll probably get around to emailing the MacPorts' dev mailing list if it still seems to be stalled and no one else beats me to it. Presumably, eventually, it will get merged!
Thanks again to you and others (e.g. dandelions, postscriptum, piefed) for the continued improvements!

I like how we took something computers were masters at doing, and somehow fucked it up.
The defenses to this like, "Yo, it's natural language it's not a calculator."
It's running on a computer. It's not like it can't hand off a calculation. And if it can't, why isn't that built in? Or else, why isn't it going, "Sorry, that's a math problem and I can't do math. I am, alas, only a poor computer who can't do math."
You literally don't have to invent or hallucinate math at all. It doesn't have to engage higher pattern-matching functions other than to deduce, "Oh shit, you're asking a math question, let's do 10.12 < 10.6
and see if that's true or false."
This is the answer machine that is supposed to replace us and take our jobs, so we can absolutely criticize it when it confidently declares utterly and confidently wrong answers to stuff its "unintelligent" predecessors did in calculator form just fine.
We're proud to launch "dnst", our #DNS toolbox for network operators. Twenty years ago, we introduced the "ldns" C-library, along with a collection of example utilities for generating keys, signing a zone, and more. With the "domain" #Rust crate acting as the natural successor to the "ldns" library, with "dnst" we are offering a modern, well-maintained drop-in replacement for the most widely used "ldns" utilities. #OpenSource #rustlang https://blog.nlnetlabs.nl/introducing-dnst-a-dns-toolbox-for-network-operators/
Yeh, I would like to shift some of these https://www.tindie.com/products/revk/faikin-remote-environmental-monitor-dev-board/
There are really cool - environmental monitor with HA integration. Display optional. I have a bag full of them here.
I literally have 11 in use around my house, they are super useful - some control radiators or fans, some control aircon, some just monitor temp, pressure, humidity, CO₂.
Plug plug plug (A&A customers email pcb at aa.net.uk and we can do cheaper on your A&A account).
P.S. Thank you.
@nick no, nothing, I can't see anything, I'm locked in a dark cellar and I already ate all the bioluminescent mushrooms :/
@nick _o/
Are you writing up what you did anywhere?
@nick I will follow to see if you post something interesting. Already we can see that you are brave enough to host an instance so that is one point in your favour.
