The JiDokKo birds are interesting.. probably mostly of Shamo軍鶏 descent but not very aggressive so far... We might be eating the beautiful red rooster thud weekend... I've gotten thus urge to focus on Silkies for thrur popular gift eggs and incubating abilities and the huge JiDori birds (probably Amakusa DaiOu 天草大王) for frequent big eggs and occasional turkey-like feasts... the variety is fascinating and I guess it's more sustainable to keep some hybrid vigor around... #BackyardChickens #Jidori #JiDokKo #Silkies #烏骨鶏 #地鶏
World Curlew Day is intended to raise awareness of the urgent plight of curlews, which are facing severe population declines globally due to habitat loss, climate change, and predation by non-native species like pets.
I took this photo in Lamington National Park in the Gold Coast Hinterland, Queensland. #birds
I love them so much. They’re such weird little alien guys and it’s added bonus that a bunch of ghost stories in South East Queensland can be attributed to the banshee shriek they make at night. Seriously underrated bird ❤️
Pipeweaver is a free and open source audio management tool for Linux built on top of PipeWire, designed specifically with streaming and broadcasting in mind.
The open-source app for monitoring and controlling supported cooling devices on Linux, CoolerControl, has a big new release out with major new features.
I think you just made my husband's day. Cooler control was one of the things he hadn't found a good replacement for yet on Linux. Hopefully this works for him.
I'm very happy with my Kobo Libra 2. A big surprise when I got it was that I stopped having insomnia. I used to read books at night on my iPhone (dark mode, low illumination, color adjusted to deduce blue light) and thought it wouldn't affect my sleep. I'd often be awake for a couple of hours during the night, but didn't think it was connected. The day I got my Kobo, the insomnia stopped. E-ink screens rock.
Very few of my books are from the Kobo store. Mostly they're sideloaded using Calibre.

“SHE’S JUST AN ASTRONAUT.” That’s what Karoline Leavitt said — seconds before the studio cracked open on live television, and Christina Koch answered with a single response that stopped everything cold.
Leavitt had brushed aside Koch’s remarks about global cooperation and the growing disconnect between leadership and everyday people with a dismissive wave. “Stick to space missions, Christina,” she scoffed, already turning toward another camera. “Complex social policy is a bit out of your orbit. Leave the real thinking to us.” The room grew quiet. A few panelists smirked. They expected Koch to retreat into safe, technical language — to deflect, or simply smile and move on. They were wrong.
Koch didn’t raise her voice. She leaned forward instead — calm, composed — the quiet intensity of someone who has spent months orbiting Earth, watching it without borders.
“Karoline,” she said steadily, her voice grounded but carrying a

“SHE’S JUST AN ASTRONAUT.” That’s what Karoline Leavitt said — seconds before the studio cracked open on live television, and Christina Koch answered with a single response that stopped everything cold.

Koch didn’t raise her voice. She leaned forward instead — calm, composed — the quiet intensity of someone who has spent months orbiting Earth, watching it without borders.
“Karoline,” she said steadily, her voice grounded but carrying a weight few in the room could match, “when you’ve looked down at this planet from space, you don’t see political narratives — you see one world, shared by billions of people whose lives are shaped by the decisions made in rooms like this.”
The smirk faded from Leavitt’s face. The studio froze. “I’ve worked with people from different countries, different systems, different beliefs,” Koch continued. “And what keeps missions alive isn’t slogans — it’s trust, accountability, and the willingness to listen to one another when it matters most.” No shouting. No theatrics. Just clarity.
“Exploration teaches you something quickly,” she added. “You can’t ignore reality and expect to stay on course. Leadership works the same way.” Silence.
For the first time in the broadcast’s history, the official across the table had no reply — undone not by argument, but by the quiet authority of someone who had seen the world from a distance… and understood it more clearly because of it.

Well, DARN! @fraterchaos, thank you for keeping this up, so that we also get the message that it's not real. However, the story sounds plausible because it reflects cultural subtexts that are very real. So, we were all fooled.
This article discusses a current-headlines situation regarding Affero General Public License, version 3, Section 3, paragraph 4 (AGPLv3§7¶4.).
I begin however with an explanation of the problem that clause sought to solve and how the clause works.
Is this the one that's finally going to let people receive notifications about new messages in Nextcloud Talk on their mobile phones without relying on Google Play Services?
That's a long-overdue requirement, and I *think* I saw the issue for that was closed, but I don't know when to expect it to be ready for all users. I hope there will be some documentation on how to receive notifications by Unified Push!
What I dislike, and I know this has been discussed in the past with you wanting to stick to it, is the name. Summer/Winter/etc. are concepts to specific regions, and contrary on the other hemisphere. If you want to stick with it, please make it "northern winter".
A sea turtle's shell is a masterpiece. A study reveals that marine turtle shells combine flexibility and strength to protect against predators like sharks and stress while optimizing movement.
As regulators rush to “protect children,” we risk creating something worse. A more centralized, identity-driven, and surveilled internet that strengthens Big Tech instead of challenging it.
TLDR: Yes. Yes it is. Time to vote Out politicians that support this dystopian surveillance crap. Both parties (Dems and GOP) are guilty of supporting this bullcrap and should have their kickbacks made public and banned from holding office. Fine Zuck a few hundred billion dollars for this too since Meta is close to the root of this
I think harsher critiques like those of Taylor Lorenz are better to go with here. The bad-faith actors behind all this rubbish aren't going to grant you any credit for being nice or speaking in neutral terms. And they're liars e.g. the otherwise insignificant Marsha Blackburn has been caught on videotape saying that the purpose of her KOSA rubbish is „to eradicate the transgender” and lied about her motives later. Yank nuts like SEGM have been popping up here in Berlin and really all round Europe, too, so whenever Alice Weidel, Santiago Abascal, Giorgia Meloni et al speak, it's really Musk, Thiel, Doug Wilson et al talking.
In 1998 we had a VCR that this post reminds me of; it would show the current timestamp of the movie, but it was in metric minutes and seconds, that is, 100 seconds in a minute, and 100 minutes in an hour. No one know when the movie would be over. merveilles.town/@neauoire/1164…
We've had this long furling tape from Japan for the longest time, for years!! thinking it was in inches. Causing us lots of mistakes and fuck ups, the whole time we thought it was our own miscalculations, that we must have messed up in converting it to metric or something.
1) The unit on the tape is in tenth of a foot. 2) That's almost exactly 3cm, BUT NOT QUITE. 3) The ruler says FEET, but then breaks it down in 3cm segments each divided in tenth of a tenth of foot.
Took the forestay down, disassembled the furler into a thousand little pieces, had a new forestay swaged, fed it through, hooked up, oiled, lifted the new jib sail, all without dropping a 👏 single 👏 tool 👏 in 👏 the 👏 water.
I’ve been tired of Substack platforming white supremacists, Nazis, neo-confederates, and so many of the worst people on the internet for a long time now.
Here are some palm oil free makeup, cosmetics and perfume brands that do not use rainforest-destroying palm oil. If you are ever in doubt look for the prefixes: LAUR, STEAR, GYLC and PALM in the in…
The canvas aboard Pino is very old, thin and discolored, we've started replacing some of it.
A few days ago we replaced the flap that goes over the companionway doors. You can see the color difference between it and the fabric on the far-left side.
10 years ago, someone wrote a unit test for @servo that included a cookie expiry date of April 18, 2026. At that time Servo was only 3 years old and I'm sure 10 years in the future sounded like a long time!
Well, we're still here, and now our CI is broken until I can get another maintainer to merge github.com/servo/servo/pull/44… .
These dates were chosen 10 years ago, which I'm sure felt like a reasonably far-future date for a very young web engine. Surprise! We're still here, so we can be more bold this time.
