I've lost count of the number of friends' laptop computers that seemed on their last legs, basically unusable, brought back to sparkling life with: a cheap SSD to replace HDD, second-hand additional RAM, and (usually most important) a fresh reinstall of O/S and apps with all their data restored.

To those friends, it seems like magic; and very grateful that it is £20-£30 instead of £300+ for a new computer (I don't charge friends for effort and tooling, only for any parts needed that aren't already in my bucket of spares).

Pfew, just saw an amazing demo of stuff coming for AWS re:invent. Science fiction levels of wow. Very big year ahead for serverless architectures.

This place feels like Animal Crossing next to Twitter's Mortal Kombat X.

I'm liking it.

9 years ago I was supporting a customer in the Philippines over a Citrix session and needed to communicate to them through the URL bar in Chrome on Windows 8 all because I couldn't find the damn start menu. Yeah, I probably looked like a scammer. Just give me a shell. #ThrowbackThursday

For all it's advantages and faults, #Mastodon was not built to be a *new* Twitter. It was built to be *not* Twitter.

That distinction is important.

Now @Raspberry_Pi has its own @Mastodon instance, and because we’re committed to supporting platforms that support us, we’re putting our money where our mouth is. We have become a platinum sponsor of #Mastodon. In case you don't know Mastodon is a non-profit corporation based in Germany supported by both its sponsors and patreons. #TwitterMigration https://joinmastodon.org/sponsors
