TFW 28 minutes into your 30 minute workout you realise no music is playing 😑
Extremely wise words from @xnymia: "If you can’t take that one box down to patch it, what happens when it falls over or worse, gets popped?"
Ho hum. Just dropping our car off to be repaired after some jerk ran into the back of it whilst parked and didn't bother to leave their details. 😡
WELL the visitors never arrived but at least the house is clean 😆
There's nothing like the possibility of visitors to motivate housecleaning 😬

@ajbw your suggestion of boosting visibility is a great point! it's something i pay a lot of attention to on Twitter - who am I RTing? who am I replying to?
and @HerraBRE@mastodon.xyimy experience is that a lot of people are really attracted to projects that are making an effort to be non-hostile. here's some best practices for open-source projects http://opensourcebridge.org/wiki/Setting_intention (joint work with @cyrinsong )
TIP YOUR LOCAL INSTANCE ADMIN.
ASK IF THEY HAVE A PATREON.
THEY DESERVE IT.
YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW MUCH BS GOES INTO KEEPING THIS THING WORKING.
I blow dried my hair for the first time in 2017 today and holy. shit. It feels so good to have done hair instead of some 4 day old rats nest. 😱
One of the problems shared by many social media platforms, is the "pile on" effect. Someone says something dumb and the entire Internet shows up on their doorstep to mock them.
Twitter has this problem in spades, it's one of the reasons it has a bad reputation for harassment.
As far as I know, there is nothing technically preventing the same problem here in the #fediverse though.
If it became a social norm to just star people who have already responded instead of piling on, that would help.
Hey parents with partners: make sure you regularly take photos of your partner with your kids (if they're down with it), *especially* if your partner is the one who normally takes all the photos. ❤
Wow. My thing is smugly informing people that Christmas and Easter are traditionally pagan holidays coopted by the early church to entice followers. Here I am scrolling through a local Facebook mothers' group and what do I find but multiple threads where everyone is talking about the pagan roots of Easter and how they're looking for alternative non-appropriative traditions for their atheist/agnostic families. Woke af for ultra-conservative Queensland 😲 I underestimated you, Sandgate mums.

Firefox users need to go to about:config and set settingnetwork.IDN_show_punycode to true.
The phishing potential for this issue is huge.

It's cool to see a bunch of people administering new mastodon instances grappling with nginx. I've grappled with it in my day job for two years now and it's certainly a quirky beast. Gotta love that declarative syntax masquerading as control flow (I'M LOOKING AT YOU, if () {}).
I still prefer varnish though for proxying/caching though.

So yesterday I was drinking with a few dads, discussing that eventual day, when you have to have "the talk" with your kids, about browsers and history.
Can we please
