you think you can silence the garbage goose? the garbage goose never even sleeps!

⚠️ Important headsup if you are on the server mastodon.cloud:

Mastodon.cloud no longer seems to be moderated. Its admin account hasn't posted since Feb 2023, its code of conduct is blank and there are vile racists posting from there. The racists have been reported many times but their accounts are still active.

Because of this, other server admins are starting to block mastodon.cloud completely.

If you're on mastodon.cloud you might want to move to another server ASAP: fedi.tips/transferring-your-ma

LibGen downtime is so bad that the uptime monitoring services are being hammered and experiencing issues as users try checking it.

I once was asked by a kindergartner if clams sleep. I was stumped, and we actually have no idea! We know many bivalves have strong biological clocks, often showing circadian rhythms in activity. But as to whether they sleep? No one knows! #clamFacts

BREAKING: we have just completely removed all ads from OSNews. The ad industry sucks, so I've put my money where my mouth is. OSNews is now entirely ad-free, for everyone.

Since this means losing a chunk of income, I would greatly appreciate it if you could support us by becoming a Patreon, by making an individual donation through Ko-Fi, or by buying our merch.

@amy I made a very critical blog post around that time period on my old blog. Got a lot of heat from "self-hosting" guys who were CloudFlare customers.

Look at all the blooming lupines on the side of the mountain, looking like purple lava flowing down the mountain! They're doing what they do best: preventing erosion. I think I shot this near Flateyri in Westfjords, Iceland. (June 2019)

@amy not only did they come up with DoH, they also were the default and only initial provider. They just love gobbling up all your traffic regardless of what you do online.
