It’s hard to believe this is natural, but then you see the rest of the landscape with rectangular shapes as the rock cracks, lots of triangles too. It reminds me of the limestone pavement around Malham Cove, but more extreme.

Very interesting waterfall (spectrogram) of a dial up modem connecting. I can even picture where all the sounds come from I remember hearing as a child from the classic dialup connection.

Right

Managed Nextcloud with Collabora sorted out ✅
Calendars in Nextcloud synced with CalDAV ✅
Files for projects synced ✅

Next up: sort out all my old Google Sheets, make .ods files from these, and then put them in Nextcloud to edit - and leave Google Sheets altogether

Node-RED JSON API to Telegram bot alert.
Pretty cool to get an automatic heads up on any launches.

Hello everyone! 👋 We've joined the fediverse as part of an experiment with our friends from BBC Research & Development. Read more about it here: https://www.bbc.co.uk/rd/blog/2023-07-mastodon-distributed-decentralised-fediverse-activitypub

@ezaquarii @stefano There are many ISPs to choose from. An ISP or hosting company that doesn't provide IPv6 (without being asked) is not competent. Don't give them your money.

In the UK I'd recommend @aaisp - they've been providing IPv6 connections for 20 years or so. I used them until moving to France.

I created a prototype that worked!

The whole zoom terms of service furore is a great example of why we made BroadcastBridge.app for bringing in remote participants into an AV production. Not only is zoom designed (media quality wise) for meetings but they’ll always put the shareholders first - they have to… by law. Which ultimately means doing things like they did.

BroadcastBridge.app is designed from the ground up for media production and we don’t assume to own anything transmitted via our media servers - that’s yours!

If you need to "clarify" your ToS in a blog-post, your ToS is shit and needs to be re-written.

I don't give a crap about your blogpost. If it's not in the ToS, it's not binding.

If you think I should understand your ToS in a specific way, great, there exists a perfect place to put that clarification in: your ToS.

> You see, if somebody robs a store, it's a crime and the state is all set and ready to nab the criminal. But if somebody steals from the commons and from the future, it's seen as an entrepreneurial activity and the state cheers and gives them tax concessions rather than arresting them. We badly need an expanded concept of justice and fairness that takes mortgaging the future into account.

X takes over another account.

The owner of the @music handle on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, says that X unceremoniously took over the username Thursday. The old @music account has been moved to @musicfan.

X also took the @X handle from its former owner last week.

Trying to de-commercialise my internet use a little more this morning...

I've been a happy user of nextCloud for file sharing for a few years, but now I need to sort web based editing for text files and spreadsheets on it - and then it’ll be goodbye to Google Docs and Google Sheets

And CalDAV via nextCloud for collaborative calendars will be the step that follows
