@lps I think we’re on the 5TB tier. Yeah, it’s a bit expensive, but it gives us some room to grow. Definitely look around and compare services!
One thing that we do with onboarding new users is to point them towards our OpenCollective page, which helps offset the cost significantly. It’ll become more of a headache as the instance gets bigger, but Object Storage solved a lot of long-term problems for us.

Well... The cult has gone dark for about 9 hours now... Hopefully, if we chant and pray 🙏 enough, the great leader will bring light back into our lives... Can't wait for the enlightenment ☀️
It's still some time before I will go to bed, although I feel rather bläh and exhausted and I would just wanna head in. But I don't want to get up too early, so I'd best wait till my new time.
It is weird without the support of the "not a cult" to get through the day. I may be a wee bit addicted to being beige 😂.
So, let's watch a bit more Star Trek before getting ready to head to bed... Fingers and toes are crossed 🤞🏻 that our great leader may find new certificates that will allow beige to shine bright again.

#BeigeIsDown (still... 😢)
Beige is still dark... So I'll post from here instead...
I am almost at 8k steps. It's not a lot, when compared to some previous days... But I feel like I should listen to my body and relax this afternoon.
I got my steps, I've done some exercises, done some chores as well... Now I'll relax on the couch with some Star Trek. Hopefully it will give my body the rest it needs so I can start again tonight after, again hopefully, some decent sleep... 🤞🏻
Catch you all later, I hope. And, maybe, I'll be able to go Beige again then... 🙏

I do love 💜 my Masto instance, I got all my accounts there because it's awesome.
Only one downside to it all...
When it's down, all is down...
Yay for me having this Friendica account so I can still see some of my Fedi friends. But it also means that many of my fellow Beige "not a cult" members are restricted from Tootin' as well... 😔
Hey ho, let's hope I get called in ASAP... 🤞🏻
Waiting at the dentist now. I would prefer to keep my headphones on, but then I can't hear them call me in. Appointment should be in about 4 minutes, so have to deal with my sensory things for a short while... More people are coming in now, which means more issues for me with sounds and smells... 😔
Fingers crossed 🤞🏻 my student will call me ASAP! (I'm at an university dentist, which has pros and cons...).
Wish me luck 🍀 both with the waiting as with the appointment...
🧚🏼♀️ 💜 🍀 🐾
Hmmm 🤔 it would seem that my main Masto instance, beige.party, has been down for a short while now. 😔
I think admin will be snoozing now, so he probably won't notice it for a while, I suppose...
I still have this account to get some of my social needs being met. But I do miss my fellow "not a cult" members... 🙏
Hope to be back on my other accounts ASAP again! 🤞🏻 🍀

Started my solo motorhome journey :) . Maybe for a few weeks, maybe for a few months. We will see.
I am attempting to reboot myself and TROM. Let's see...
We still have a few older videos to post before I will start to post videos that are more in sync with our lives in the motorhome :) tromhome.com/ but I will make more and more useful videos about living in this kind of way. I have lots of tips to offer :D

Kombucha
I'm trying to make my own Kombucha.
This is the second attempt as the first was trying to make my own scoby, and it didn't work out!
I then bought a proper scoby and have just started the process, hopefully in a week or so I will have my first batch, 🤞!
The homeward journey took an hour from dropping the car off to getting home, I am now taking a slightly different route with a longer walk back to the garage after I get off the bus.
I was slightly thrown earlier on this journey when I could hear somebody saying that this next stop is ......, and the next stop is......., and I realised that there were speakers in the ceiling of the bus!
Spoiled by having a car!
The best thing about being in a car is that I or my wife is the only one talking to me .
A passenger has just got on the bus and is talking to everyone, not making any sense - not making sense is my job!

San Salvador de Cantamuda: We found a fossil forest and the weather was cold and rainy. Nothing very eventful. Just a few more days of our motorhome adventures. But super cool to see these imprints that are many millions of years old. A book of earth 😃

Letter to MP (again)
I've just sent this to my MP, I wonder if I will get a reply?
Subject: Pirates of the Mediterranean
Dear MP
What sort of response am I going to get from the UK Government, via yourself, that will justify the latest international lawbreaking of the Israeli Government?
Dropping drones on unarmed boats in Tunisian waters, dropping bombs on Qatar targetting people who are trying to negotiate for peace, and the Israeli Defense Ninister saying the Gates of Hell have opened on Gaza.
Also, also why the F*** is Starmer welcoming the President of Israel today, he should be arresting him for complicity in war crimes!
A disgusted, disapointed constituent!

Fund NHS COVID boosters for Clinically Vulnerable people – keep covid boosters

Downton Movie
When they walked in to watch the film they were handed envelopes to put their phones into, as they were watching it pre general release.
When I picked them up later they were in high praise of the film, not so much the cinema, which needs some work as it is showing its age!

in reply to Pierot • •Dus Pierrot, je wil zeggen dat je niet wist wie hij was,
En dat je tegen mijn tekst protesteert,
Omdat je er nu achter zou kunnen komen wie hij was en hoe het zat,
als je de tekst zou lezen.
OK, helder.

in reply to Grymt • • •Als eerste mijn excuses voor de ongenuanceerde reactie.
Ik heb nu je bericht van voor tot achter gelezen.
Door de enorme hoeveelheid feiten, die ik ondanks je verwijzingen aan het einde, niet zomaar kan verifiëren, kan ik niet direct overal op regeren.
Even voorstellen: ik ben een boomer die al meer dan 50 jaar op Groen Links stemt (aanvankelijk PPR).

in reply to Grymt • • •Ik heb de boeken, de film en de serie The Hand Mades Tale (in de jaren 80, door Margaret Atwood) gelezen en gezien. Gezien de ontwikkelingen in de VS denk ik dat Atwood een adequate profetie heeft beschreven.
Pierot
in reply to Grymt • • •Stel dat de VS die transitie niet overleeft en dus een dictatuur wordt, moeten wij dan niet ons uiterste best doen om dat niet in Europa te laten gebeuren, ondanks de enorme macht die de VS ook op ons hebben?
Hoewel ik ook wel zie dat het fascisme ook in Europa toeneemt, ben ik ervan overtuigd dat we hier ons uiterste best doen om dat te voorkomen. Jouw kritiek op de Nederlandse media vind ik dan ook te heftig.
Pierot
in reply to Grymt • • •Het zal inderdaad wel een zware 'strijd' worden.
Trouwens het woord 'dom rechts' vind ik een gevaarlijk frame. Zo bevorder je de 'wij-zij' sfeer.
Socialisme gaat over inclusiviteit, omdat mensen mensen zijn.

in reply to Grymt • • •Er zijn wat aanwijzingen dat Robinson een Groyper is, maar de motieven zijn allemaal nog speculatief.
Of is er al meer bekend?
Grymt
in reply to Rob van Bakel • •Zie boven. Motief is niet zwart op wit door Robinson ingeleverd, maar ook niet heel erg speculatief: Fuentes viel Kirk twee weken geleden nog fel aan online, waarbij duidelijk genoeg was dat hij hoopte op actie van zijn achterban.
Wat pas echt speculatief (of eigenlijk erger dan dat) blijkt te zijn, is de manier waarop Nederlandse media hebben gedaan alsof dit een kogel van links was, en daar nog altijd niet op terugkomen.
Rob van Bakel
in reply to Grymt • • •het overnemen zou nog luie journalistiek kunnen zijn. Ik las dat sommige grote Amerikaanse media het wel aangepast hebben.
Ik ben benieuwd wat er gebeurt. Als dit onvoldoende aandacht krijgt en zowel Trump als de media “links” de schuld blijven geven ontstaat er precies wat de accelationisten willen.

Dank je wel voor de uitgebreide context.

Grymt is vast enorm blij met je halfslachtige compliment 🙄
Maar ik word echt een beetje Gallisch van mensen die een schrijver alvast even komen vertellen wat hij heeft geschreven en wat hij zou móeten denken en schrijven, zelfs nog voordat ze het stuk hebben uitgelezen.
