I've been terminally online for ~40 years, long before the big endless scroll. I've seen things some people wouldn't believe. 1200 baud modems on fire from Usenet flame wars. I watched c-news servers stutter at the mere mention of Kibo. All those moments will be lost in AI slop, like tears in rain. Time to deshittify.

Received a today from New Zealand! Thanks @nigel and oh boy are international stamps pricey, right? Same outrageousness here. I will send you one of my actual photo postcards once I unbury my office and the art printer.

My photo account is @another which is running Vernissage created by @mczachurski
Very blurry photo of the stamp, Cape Rodney-Okakari Point marine reserve Hilly cliff at the water side. $2.90 NZ
Face of postcard featuring a nice frilly green forest fern frond. Say that five times fast.
Handwritten message on reverse, in block manuscript. OCR of message, mostly hand corrected: HI TREVER, GREETINGS FROM NEW ZEALAND! THIS PHOTO OF MINE IS FROM A FERN WHILE WALKING AROUND LAKE MANGAMAHOE, IN JAN 2O23. CAN SEE MORE ON LOWKEY.PARTY ON THE PHOTOGRAPHY TAG. I ALSO LOVE THE SITE YOU HAVE MADE, IT IS VERY COOL. I DO LOVE SEEING THE CROSSOVER OR TECH AND CREATIVETY ON THE FEDIVERSE. HERE IS TO MORE PHOTOGRAPHY DAYS IN OUR LIVES NIGEL@UNSOCIABLE.LOWKEY.PARTY

Deleting my Reddit account for the umpteenth time. Hate that I keep getting sucked into that site.

@me If you don't put a fence around the trademark with terms of use, and enforce it, you will lose the trademark. Use that info as you like.

@GeePawHill I misread this as

"He's a big quitter, and is at a quitting conference"

. . . and was mightily confused for a moment. :)

@me Smells like a cache was not copied over, db not shut down / flushed first, or db write ahead logging or journaling wasn't enabled.

I remain amused that our microwave has power settings 1-7. Nothing higher. It's like they watched Spinal Tap but misremembered 11 as 7. "But this one goes to seven!"

@me My backups run between 1am and 3am local, so I don't know or care if it slows down for me here. (running ice shrimp dot net). FWIW, a nvme filesystem cache made things more livable when activity pub decided to get spicy with the packets.
