I appreciate that this is going to upset some people, and I thought I was too shy to say it, but I prefer #BlueSky over #Mastodon:

Here's why:

I found some i5 Intel NUCs for £55ish, with 8GB RAM and 64GB SSD.

They lack PoE, which is a shame, but I'll be interested to see how well they work as small, reasonably low power, servers.

@ekaitz_zarraga They are such stunning shoes, visually, and I think you captured that really well.

Genuinely, they look amazing.

@ekaitz_zarraga Oh, okay.

@ekaitz_zarraga Very impressive!

Any chance of adding some alt-text, as I'd love to boost it?

If a reply guy writes a blog, does he create man pages?

Bases are in the next print run.

@ekaitz_zarraga Yes! I was tempted to make a "micromunda" setup, but I just can't see my managing to paint anything at that size.

The quality of 3d resin printing really is incredible.

My phone does not do justice to the figure on the right, which is less than 1cm high.

It looks like, in response to a DMCA request, Microsoft has removed the Github repo for DeDRM, a plugin for helping people read ebooks they've bought on their chosen ereader.

One of the challenges of running your own business - at least, in my experience - is dealing with peaks and troughs.

I’m on a peak, and I don’t have enough hours in the day. Today started hours ago, and will be rough.

When I’m in a trough, I wonder if I’ll ever be busy again.

And this is why I still buy and rip CDs and DVDs, or download and save in DRM-free formats: so that what I’ve bought remains with me, unless *I* delete it.

QT v0max: Just a reminder that when you "purchase" music online, you're not buying the music, only a temporary revocable license.

I noticed that several albums I had purchased years ago had silently disappeared from my library. When I contacted @apple, they told me it's not their problem.

“need my husband’s permission”.

Get in the sea.

QT rebeccaseals: I saw a gyno about getting my tubes tied and she said that I was still too young and that I would need my husbands permission before even considering it.

My husband went in to get a vasectomy and he had an appt booked that day, no questions asked.

Do you see the issue here?

I’m glad they can fix the irreparable damage.

@ekaitz_zarraga Exactly. And the man page is pretty good, as far as I can tell so far.

@ekaitz_zarraga Nice! I haven’t experimented with the eBook generation bit yet, mainly because I’ve no need for it.

More fun with pandoc this evening.

I wish I’d discovered it years ago, as I’d be writing more things in Markdown.

I need more time to tinker with a custom template for document generation, but wow does this have possibilities.
