Since mastodon.cloud might be discontinuing, and I'm new here, I guess I'll just move to some place that seems more stable. @finity@qoto.org
@inanedirk looks really good!
My ddWRT router is having trouble, time to replace. I use several of the advanced features, like OpenVPN. Keeping the software updated without bricking the device is a regular issue.
I'm considering separating this functionality - running the services on a Pi and getting a wifi router that focuses on wifi and routing.
This isn't just an issue where I live (the US), and the Atlantic article talks about what some other countries are doing too.
If we haven't taken full advantage of it this time around, we will get another chance this fall.
Have we leveraged coronavirus slowdown to fix our infrastructure? NY subway trains need new signaling, roads and bridges need fixes, this is a great time to dig up and install water mains... Folks need jobs.
@Vollmer re:Early Mornings, I do the same (when I actually have to go _in_ to work), but I wake up at 4 and do all that so it feels more like afternoon by the time I'm at work. #NotAMorningPerson

My corporate work asked for a “funny picture of your pet”. So I sent them a picture of Kiki, my sourdough starter, who enjoys being fed and taking long walks. My boss followed up with me to make sure I was doing ok.
@eleeshing@write.as I liked your #100DaysToOffload post today. Having tried to talk to folks about new tech like this before, sometimes surprisingly the person I'm talking to turns out to find it interesting. Keep it up. Why not.

@cwebber I wonder what sorts of interaction would be enabled if keyboards came standard with pressure sensitivity input on nearly any key. 🤔
@fribbledom it's a good day to read Dirk Gently.
Happy Towel Day 2020!
Now go read one of Douglas's books!
@olry@mstdn.social I've been appreciating your very chill blog posts today. They're included in a #100DaysToOffload RSS I found yesterday. Smoking and pizza.

@charlag - I'm clicking follow on you because you look interesting and share interesting nerdy things. I'm just starting here - I've thought ActivityPub is pretty slick for a while and would like an alternative to the entrenched social networks.
Just stumbled on this modern Gopher client-in-a-browser, and Gopher server.
