fedi admin meta, question for fedi server admins regarding crawling to create a 'snapshot' of how IPv6-ready the fediverse is 

Hi!

I have toyed around with a experiment for a while. Given the fact that providers like Hetzner will charge for IPv4-space now, I am interested to see how 'IPv6'-ready the fediverse is.
I would like to know what people think of my methodology, and if there is any feedback.

Boosts welcomed!

Daydreaming about how to design a new device that fits into the spot where #retrocomputing sits. Nostalgia is, of course, some of the flavor; a visit to childhood excitement and energy. In addition, I remember those machines felt almost like a new state of matter. A dynamic and responsive mineral!

Curiosity question: What is a piece of software that you really like, and what makes it better (for you) than the alternatives you've tried? :boost_requested:

(Any category of software is welcome, and so is any rationale - please do not argue with people in the replies!)

transmisia related stuff, mention of abuse 

To sum up the entire problem of the transphobic assumption that trans women need to be passing to be considered women is when cis women don't look "passing" enough to some people and suddenly aren't considered women despite being women in every respect that matters to anyone except transphobes.

The result can be people receiving death threats and other harmful abuse for literally not being pretty enough to someone they probably don't even know or care about.
Yay. Congrats. If you don't see the err of those ways then please take a long while to think about what you consider progress and what you want the world to look like in three generations.

traumaqueers make the best #rust programmers because rustc gives us something we wish we had our whole life: someone who will tell us when we've made a mistake, what the mistake was, and what we can do to fix it, and then actually acknowledge that we did so.

It occurred to me that I don’t want to experiment with Gen AI the same way I don’t want to engage with conspiracy theories.

I think they are dangerous and I know a little about how they work but, as a result, I do not trust my own intellectually and emotional immune system to keep me safe.

Better minds have fallen.

Bit of an #autism based rant: so, Kero and I get our veg delivered from a local community farm. It's a charity and does good work feeding people who would otherwise struggle.

However, I'm #ActuallyAutistic, and like a lot of us, there are things that aren't food to me.

Here's the problem: the farm only allows us to have 3 banned vegetables, and plays stupid word games with the ones you've banned.

I don't care if its a rare variety without the word cabbage in the name. It's a fucking cabbage.
