I doubt if any person heard this tree fall a few days ago, but I'm lucky it didn't fall over my power line or that would have been a few thousand dollars to repair.

White poplar, about 30 metres (100 feet) high. Snapped off at the base, unlike most other tree species that fall here, which are usually uprooted.

Do you have this too, that when you see that a toot has a lot of replies, you don't reply to it, even though you wanted to in the first place?

Collecting anecdotes, data, and anecdata on people and orgs who’ve left Twitter and found higher engagement from ostensibly fewer followers. This is in preparation for a renewed pitch to the org I’m in, to begin the process of x-trication. Boosts appreciated!

11 December 1894 | A Jewish woman, Salomea Strul, was born in Constantinople in Ottoman Empire. During the war, she lived in #Paris.

On 30 September 1942, she was deported from Drancy to Auschwitz. She was murdered in a gas chamber on 2 October 1942.

@SwiftOnSecurity There's this story about a Thinkpad support hotline procedure that's introduced as "You might think I'm crazy, but please bear with me" and then proceeds to instruct to first remove battery and power source and then to press the "on" button repeatedly, long and short presses.

Apparently it's the fast way to make sure that the Embedded Controller really *really* runs out of power and goes into reset, fixing a surprising number of sporadic issues.

Ok, squirrel shenanigans resolved. Hopefully no more bites on the fiber line since it's now in a conduit. Now to work on keeping away bears from the farm server room

Saudi-led fight against COP28 deal shows ‘panic,’ German climate envoy says https://www.politico.eu/article/saudi-led-fight-against-cop28-deal-shows-panic-german-climate-envoy-says/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon

One fifth of my #Android desktop is dedicated to the current date. I can't seem to get rid of it.

This is valuable real estate but it also bugs me because it is in the wrong format for my language. It is "sunnudagur, des. 10" but should be "Sunnudagur, 10. des" (or just skip the comma).

A part of the error seems to be that since #Icelandic doesn't use a capital letter for weekdays the system assumes it shouldn't have a capital letter in this context (first letter of a "sentence").

Clover and Charlie spending some quality time together. Charlie the cat was born with severely deformed back legs, and is a feral rescue. Clover is a Leonberger and she sometimes snuggles up with the cats. #catsofmastodon #CloverTheLeonberger #leonberger #dogsofmastodon #adoptdontshop

This is a big deal:

Since putting up what amounts to a clothesline on my roof a month ago, I've managed to transmit and make contact with 37 states (and multiple countries) using 10 watts.

This is the power equivalent of putting an LED lightbulb on my roof, flicking it on and off, and having the east coast see it and reply.

Never ceases to feel amazing to me. #hamradio

Why does it have to rain on weekends? It rained all morning and into the afternoon. Kengo was itching to go out. We finally found a window of opportunity to go for a walk in the park in GA, USA. Woods after the rain looked and smelled good, but we had to turn around as it started to get misty. He was not happy. #dog #dogs #DogsOfMastodon #rescuedogs #AdoptDontShop #statepark #photography #fujifilm

Periodic reminder just leaving shit unplugged for hours does fix things. Fucking capacitors are everywhere and you have to defeat them.

Fixed a washing machine like this. Just fixed my motherboard despite me hitting the reset to defaults button AND removing the battery.

Sometimes you got to just give things a time-out in a corner to think about what they did.
