At @aeonofdiscord's suggestion I am going to post this classic Achewood strip about chat rooms because if enough people know it we can start referencing "Onion Offense" as shorthand for extremely nitpicky local community rules
(Going to put the transcript in a separate CW'd reply it's way too long for alt text)
bad idea of the day: usermode utility to image zip disks with the parallel port reader on modern operating systems
fairly certain the overlap between people who own a zip disk reader, own a modern system with a DB25 connector (because USB adapters won't work!), and doesn't own an older computer with a DB25 connector, is very small
as much of a meme as just telling people to cache shit is, even managing to cache dynamic content for a minute will save you a lot of resources when you're getting hit by programs instead of people
or i guess you could swap to caddy so you can write some complex rules to only cache things when mastodon or Google bot or whatever hits you - just as inefficient and low latency for those who care, but doesn't waste money for those who don't
hey, for fun, I'll punt a bunch of requests to my server and see what effect it has on response times

Another rad looking Pi based portable. More cyberpunky, I dig it. Reminds me of the @requiem RAIN-PSP project.

Hi. It would help me a lot if I could get a HEAP of responses to this poll. The goal is to get a decent enough sample so results are predictive of the wider user-base right now. I dislike asking for boosts but this is SCIENCE... or something. (Thanks.)
How do you use Mastodon MOST of the time?
On a phone, or other touch screen device?
OR
On a device with a keyboard like a laptop or desktop computer?
(If it's half and half choose the middle option.)

I'm starting to see this in the wild on the fediverse now. I figured I'd see it before long.
If you are currently using these so-called "fonts", please stop doing so. Use Unicode characters for the purposes they are designed for. Breaking screen readers doesn't make you cool.

So last year, some seagulls raised a chick on the roof of the building across from my home.
Those seagulls came back this year, and their chick JUST HATCHED and it is THE CUTEST THING
