Multichain has issued a statement that "we are currently unable to contact CEO Zhaojun and obtain the necessary server access for maintenance"

touch moss. it's far superior to grass and much more eco-friendly.

"TESCREAList" is the new "cryptobro"

Also @tops asked me why these AGC trains are so bumpy

It’s because for some reason they removed the suspension dampeners from all of them

This shows where that would be mounted

My pics from the AGC I’m on right now

What tools would you use if you were wanting a dashboard that would show the status of a few servers in the cloud and maybe a few servers around your house?

I have three servers that need general logging in my cloud network, and one in my home network. And maybe I want to send some of my own personal laptop stats to it when the laptop is turned on.

I'm sorry if you're of the generation that's never used a dot-matrix printer. I still remember mine from the 80s and 90s, and they were dope AF:

- Made cool sounds when printing

- Paper as a perforated form-feed, and tearing the perforations after printing was *so* satisfying

- You could re-ink your own ribbons with whatever ink you had at hand

- Manufacturer wasn't trying to screw you at every possible term

- Software focused on birthdays cards and banners, not "business" or "out of cyan"

i just think it would be cool if we had academic conferences on the fedi, where we finally dispense with the notion that there is anything intrinsically meaningful about journal publication and see how uh it actually might be a very healthy thing to have our work in a continually moderated social space where we can directly talk about the work on the work itself rather than isolated in journal clubs, disconnected threads, and closed, one-time, gladiatorial peer-review with binary outcome.

have an idea? cool, drag and drop your notebook into the text editor, give it some metadata, get a PID, tag your colleagues, peer review is an ongoing conversation, and so on.

someone wants to ask a neuroscientist a question? cool, come on over to our instance, we have a forum mode where you can browse through prior discussions by topic, start your own, and idk we as academics actually start making all this information we use public money to gather available to people in a medium where they actually are.

just #neuromatchstodon #ScholComm things.

Its like a coordinated DDOS PR attack from these existential risk people and they're succeeding in making me constantly talk about them.

Uptime of Theseus: if you individually restart all components of a high availability cluster, is the cluster really up since the beginning?

Remember, there’s nothing wrong with saying “Have the day you deserve.”

I had a very interesting convo with an older non-tech person about centralized vs. decentralized social media because I told them one of my interests was independent social media when they asked.

They brought up BlueSky and asked my opinion, which I gave, and then they asked me specifically about the challenge of moderation and safety in the decentralized space.

From there, we had an extended convo about those issues, with me using my history with PV, the lessons I learned, and how I'm applying them to my projects.

It's the first time in a while someone interrogated my thoughts who wasn't involved in the tech industry, so I used it as an opportunity to practice explaining with as little tech speak as possible.

In the end, they were impressed with my context of the challenges of decentralized social media because I made it easy to understand, so they felt like they could make a contribution to the convo despite not having my technical background.

We didn't agree on everything but found common ground because we understood the core of the problem.

It was very encouraging.
