C'mon admit it. We all have a (or maybe more than one) family member for whom we'd like to be able to sign a death warrant.


Nel 1942 nasceva Terry Jones, storico fondatore del gruppo satirico Monty Python e regista del film "Brian di Nazareth". Un film che ha sfidato le convenzioni religiose, è stato tacciato di "blasfemia" e ha anche ispirato il nostro "Premio Brian" per il cinema.👇

"Brian di Nazareth" (Life of Brian) produttore esecutivo George Harrison (si, uno dei Fabs Four) che per l'occasione fondò la Handmade Films (citazione non confermata: "È stato il biglietto del cinema più caro che ho pagato, ma ne è valsa la pena")

The final #Jamuary prompt, which I saved for last, is "remix one of your earlier jams" by @herbersmusic.bsky.social

Shortly after this was taken she decided to walkabout on the desk some more and somehow hit the mute key on my keyboard

which took a depressingly long time for me to figure out

I have a three year old, kind of same concept. She finds buttons I didn’t even know existed.

Finally tried CAVA after avoiding the hype for so long

I fear it does live up to the hype tho 😭



Ich habe vergessen mich vorzustellen. Ich bin Meli, 38 Jahre und im Raum Frankfurt unterwegs. In meiner Freizeit gehe ich gerne #wandern, dabei neige ich gerne dazu mich in den Kilometern zu fordern. An anderen Tagen sieht man mich mit meiner #kamera durch die Gegend wandern.

Ich quatsche viel und lerne gerne neue Menschen kennen.

in reply to Totts

I haven’t heard that name for a long time, but I’m always reminded of Ian Hislop’s comment from HIGNIFY in the late ‘90s:

Peter Tatchell thinks people hate him because he’s gay. They don’t, they hate him because he’s Peter Tatchell.

Thread with @fosdem #FOSDEM 2026 (Day 1) sketch notes!

Mastodon Android client still has no multi-toot feature so... spam incoming! 😁

And even more #FOSDEM main track, another VCS that still has a warm place in my heart: "Mercurial, 20 years and counting", by Raphaël Gomès and Pierre-Yves David.
in reply to JeroenHeijmans

After that a @calyxos related #FOSDEM talk by Aysha and @grote about "HSM based signing for AOSP projects".

Fast paced, info dense... hope my doodles are correct (enough) 😅

Next at #FOSDEM I got to take it easy as I'd done my sketches beforehand (per one of the speaker's request). So had time to fully listen to Fabio Giovanazzi and @flypig talk about "NewPipe and SailPipe".


#Klimakrise #Extremwetter #NRW

Duisburg ist laut Klimarisikoindex besonders exponiert, doch das Risiko ist flächig: Auch Düsseldorf, Köln, Krefeld, Kleve sowie die Kreise Rhein-Erft, Viersen und Neuss gelten als stark gefährdet. Die Daten belegen eine hohe regionale flächendeckende Gefährdung durch Hitze und Starkregen.
Fazit: Die Lage in Duisburg ist kein punktuelles und lokales Einzelphänomen, sondern beispielhaft für die Gefahrenlage in weiten Teilen NRWs.

Reaver Titan: Day 49

Relatively short day, but a critical step. Got all the oil washes down on the metal parts. This basically means I’m now ready to start gluing the final plates on as I finish them up. Also got the waist glued onto to the torso; the big guy is now quite stable.

Vacant land. Long waiting lists. Rising prices.

Maybe the question isn’t why isn’t anyone building?

Maybe it’s why waiting has become the sensible choice.
