Hello security and privacy enthusiasts of Mastodon!
I just learned Calyx OS exists for smartphones, what’s your thoughts?
Happy photo (with strong eye contact)
Take a night off from the grim and join the clowns for the Emperor Norton Coffee Hour, where we get fueled up for an entire night of circus shenanigans with friends from all over the internet.
The fun starts at 7pm UTC-5, and goes until very late at night. Pop in any time!
disability useful language
today i learned the term "Energy-limiting chronic illness" (ELCI). one in three disabled people in the UK has some form of ELCI (ME/CFS is an example of a disability characterised by energy impairment) https://chronicillnessinclusion.org.uk/our-work/elci-energy-impairment-disability/
Today I heard from @handle that the next NLNet grant application deadline is in 4 days -- I also learned that this year they have a new category called "User Operated Internet". I got really excited about this because the last time I applied to the NLNet grant program, there wasn't really a good category for my project to fit under. But "User Operated Internet" is perfect!

I spent today throwing up a rough draft of a home page for my project. In the past I have called it Greenhouse, but I am thinking now I'm going to change the name to Server Garden, because the original thing that was going to be called Server Garden is now on hiatus.
Please take a look and let me know what you think! I know it has tons of issues, but I'm still interested to hear what folks think about it:
With the ESP32 being capable of running 80's PC emulation and with the existence of modern miniature TFT / OLED displays it's now possible to build a tiny, functional, self contained miniature PC for mice.

I offered Meech some breakfast but he claims to be pretty happy where he is and does not wish to attend the kitchen at this time. #MastoCats #CatBellies

New CDC guidance on mask wearing
US CDC updates its guidance, and now says that fully vaccinated persons should continue to wear face masks indoors if they live in areas with 'substantial' or 'high' Covid transmission rates, nearly 2/3 of US counties, in order to avoid 'breakthrough' infection https://edition.cnn.com/2021/07/27/health/cdc-mask-guidance-vaccinated-people-bn/index.html
Coffee, birds, hearing, surreal, planes
In one ear, I cannot hear low frequency sounds. This means that I often struggle to determine which direction such sounds are coming from.
This morning, I was sitting outside drinking coffee (okay, a coconut mocha antoccino) on my balcony and I heard an airplane presumably overhead. I looked up, though, and couldn't see any airplanes, only a bird, and for a moment, my brain decided that these airplane noises must have been coming from this bird.
This tiny, circling, diving and whirling songbird.
What if birds were just really, really, loud? What if they sounded like jet planes?
i like kind machines. pro-people-not-dying. anti-nazi. anti-colonizer. pagan, but lazy about it.
