Let me reveal unto you this dearly learnt textiles and laundry wisdom!
For years I have, without issue, cleaned up this and that but often cat piss with regular generic quality cotton kitchen towels and cotton hand towels. Wring them in cold water, rinse them with vinegar, wash normally in hot water with detergent for whites... They're fine.

But a viscose towel used for the same? Reeks! Even after multiple washes smells exactly like it did prior to them! Do not clean cat piss with viscose!

My cat woke up, did a big stretch, and yawned. Then she hiccoughed, turned into a small dragon, and coughed up a fireball.

"!!!" I said.

"What?" She shrugged back into cat form.

"You're a shape shifter?"

"All cats are. There's just never any reason to not be a cat."

Dear #trenord, the fact that I'm a vampire (black ribboner!) doesn't mean that its fine to try to prevent me from buying tickets for your trains.

5. minutes. to buy a ticket for โ€œthe next train that is due to arrive in 6 minutes, from this secondary station to the next main station, which is also the last stopโ€

the stations were the first choice in the โ€œquick choiceโ€ buttons, but then there were approximately 200 buttons to select, each one of which took about 400 attempts to touch the touchscreen before it recognised my existence.

I managed to get on the train.

Why do I love #TerryPrachett

Here's why

Ever since I first picked up one of his books in the very early 90's as a young man. I thought I was going to be reading a funny fantasy novel.

Every time I was wrong.

What I read was a lesson in morality and ethics, a novel about giving a voice to the voiceless. Novels that tackled racism, gender politics, fascism and everything else that's used as a weapon to treat people poorly for being different to what they think is 'normal'.

He taught me well.

muscle soreness, excessive complaint, videogames (wesnoth)

so, I was quietly leading my armies against the undead hordes when I realized it was time to dress myself for dinner, raised my arms to shoulder length to put a dress on, and

the pain! everything is pain! I can't remember ever not being pain! maybe I should too forsake the light and sacrifice myself to the powers of death to return as an unfeeling lich, just to stop the pain!

Pare che il Fefediverso, quello con i 'grandi', inizi a collassare. Mai come in questo momento รจ importante pensare in PICCOLO.

Vorrei vedere nascere una miriade di piccole istanze nuove nel #Fediverso, tutte collegate fra loro che dialogano con chiunque, senza influenze da grandi social commerciali.
Tecnicamente รจ facile per tutti (se in hosting) e anche molto economico, unica necessitร  รจ DEDICARSI, specialmente se volete ospitare qualcuno.

Questo รจ il Fediverso comโ€™era stato progettatoโ€ฆ decentralizzato e frammentato.

Ecco un buon compromesso per il Self-Host, che non richiede di essere dei 'guru', solo pazienza e voglia di fare. yunohost.org/en/selfhosting

Quali piattaforme si possono installare (un minimo di competenza ci vuole) facilmente a casa? Ecco un esempio apps.yunohost.org/catalog?sortโ€ฆ

Un consiglio ... se volete crearvi un'istanza SELF-HOST personale (o quasi), va bene; se volete invece, ospitare anche altra gente, consiglierei di andare in #HOSTING, delegando a chi รจ piรน attrezzato logisticamente e/o tecnicamente la gestione affidabilitร /sicurezza/continuitร .
Ecco un esempio. masto.host/
Pensateci bene, basterebbe una banale mancanza rete o un guasto alla linea ADSL (o simili), per togliere il servizio per tutti.

Altro consiglio ... se non avete fini ESPANSIONISTICI e non vi interessa il numero degli iscritti che cresce, controllate le nuove iscrizioni, รจ il modo piรน semplice per evitare account dubbi.

Provate il gusto della VERA #decentralizzazione, tantissimi, federati, indipendenti; cade uno? Tanti altri continuano a funzionare, su cui ci si puรฒ spostare, portandosi dietro quasi tutto.

Tantissimi piccoli o pochi grandi? A voi la scelta.๐Ÿ™

"Linux would have prevented this!" literally true because my former colleague KP Singh wrote a kernel security module that lets EDR implementations load ebpf into the kernel to monitor and act on security hooks and Crowdstrike now uses that rather than requiring its own kernel module that would otherwise absolutely have allowed this to happen, so everyone please say thank you to him

I find these recent takes by the Linux โ€œMaster Raceโ€ / Community extremely toxic and damaging to the community. Open Source Software is not the answer and has shared itโ€™s own number of recent controversies (ie XC, OpenSSL) but these seem to be forgotten about pretty quickly - just because itโ€™s open doesnโ€™t mean itโ€™s secure. As a software developer and user of MacOS, Windows 11 and Debian 12, I find all 3 OSโ€™s have their place, purpose and reason to co-exist

seeing as a similar api is absolutely available within the closed source OS that suffered this unfortunate issue, open source has no real advantage here. Crowdstrike had reportedly threatened an anti-trust lawsuit as a result of being forced to use it. There are also reports of Debian suffering a similar issue as a result of Crowdstrikeโ€™s poor code review / qa practices. Parading Open Source around as the saviour is just farcical as the issue is outside Microsoft

Hey fellow #Linux users, despite the #CrowdStrike problem only affecting #Windows, this is not a windows problem.

In all seriousness tho -

#hugops to the poor bastards who have to clean this up and especially to the poor bastard who now has the epic 'time I brought down prod' story - no matter who contributed the bug, it was a systemic failure of crowdstrike's QA process that allowed this to escape into the wider internet; the aim is not to rely on people not to make mistakes, but to build systems in such a fashion that mistakes can be caught and corrected before they become an issue for others.

Individual heroism never makes up for systemic failures, y'know?

Today's big IT security catastrophe seems to be all about one proprietary security product for Windows, by one big vendor. I don't think it's appropriate for software freedom folks to crow too hard about this: open source software sometimes also has catastrophic security problems. I would draw the line between a diverse and a homogeneous ecosystem. When almost everyone in the world uses the same software, a problem in that will affect almost everyone.

But open source is still the moral choice.

It's important, because then nobody can say it was achievable at the other budget and the person simply didn't try hard enough.

So my local library's makerspace offered a free event where they brought in a bunch of old tower computers, printers, game consoles, etc., - laid out a bunch of iFixit toolkits - and let everyone (kids and adults alike) take everything apart!!!

One kid was hesitant because they didn't want to break anything and the library staff were like, none of it works. We're recycling and throwing everything out afterwards! Go hog wild, you won't get in trouble! You're meant to break it and take it apart!

The kid was absolutely enthusiastic and went to town!

I got to be a kid again and go into detail about all the computer parts and what each of the hardware did. It was awesome watching my children and other kids and adults interact, share tools, show off what they found.

I spoke with the organizer afterwards and asked if this was a regular thing and he said that he didn't have enough old equipment to make it regular. I laughed and said all of my friends have CLOSETS FULL OF THIS STUFF and the idea of giving it to a bunch of kids and adults to play with would bring joy and meaning to their life, lol!

I gave him the time to meet up with @fxbghackers and told him to make a community announcement about needing old electronics for donation to take apart and he'd get truck loads.

Just another way community helps each other out. This is post scarcity education.

Okay, people. When you're writing out a word, be that a swear word, or a word that could be triggering for some, or even just a word you find generally uncomfortable to write. Please do not use alternative characters to attempt to censor it. It makes it much more complicated to read, it disrupts people who potentially want to filter out that word from social media, and in the worst cases it can be confusing to people. I've had a couple times where people replaced letters with numbers, or non-qwerty characters to attempt to censor a word, and their attempt made me utterly confused by my screen reader's output. Please just write the actual word in its uncensored entirety. It is not bad and will help people know what you mean, and in some cases will make it easier for people to filter out the content that triggers them or that they don't want to see. Thanks
