Memo to the media:

Stop letting politicians get away with calling asylum seekers "illegal immigrants" or saying they're not coming to this country "the right way." Seeking asylum is legal. Presenting themselves at the border & requesting asylum is "the right way" to seek asylum.

Using Open Source or Free Software is using a tool that comes with an ethical or political bent.

Using commercial software is also doing the same except that since what you are supporting is capitalism, it's like a fish that doesn't understand the concept of being in water. We don't even notice it.

'Bridge the gap' is an astro panorama shot at 14mm in one horizon to horizon spanning arc, I shot this in 2014 with a samyang 14mm and canon 6D

Was tricky to work out the mechanics of this back in the day with the gear I had available, and stitching was not easy, since worked out a lot better techniques for doing all that!

@zleap Thanks- I put some errors and screenshots in the replies

The older I get, the more I understand Luke Skywalker running away to the middle of nowhere to live as a hermit on an island full of fish people.

Homophobia, Anti-Trans 

Homophobic and anti-LGBT+ instance for #fediblock

scots . network

Says he will not allow "queers" on his instance. Federates with hate speech, anti-LGBT instances. See below screenshots for more information.

Does anyone have experience setting up a #mastodon instance on a #RaspberryPi on a home network and using #dynamicdns to connect to it?
I am not sure if that kind of setup is supported?
I get through the entire install just fine but nginx won't start after I successfully add certs with letsencrypt.
Do I need to #PortFoward any specific ports other than 80 and/or 443? I feel like I am SO close!

Big Think:
What is the true nature of our quantum reality?.

"For nearly a century, physicists have argued over how to interpret quantum physics. But reality exists independent of any interpretation."

Let's be honest.

The Fediverse was completely unprepared for a sudden influx of millions of Twitter migrants.

And of course, this is going to be hard because the tech is in its infancy—and has been developed with minimal funding.

I follow both #infosec and #woodworking related hashtags, so when someone excitedly posts that they've upgraded their router it's always a bit of a guessing game until I get to the hashtags at the bottom.

Cool video exploring the geology of the Lake Superior basin, focusing on the Sudbury Impact. Alexis Dahl interviews USGS geologist emeritus Bill Cannon in the field, examining aspects of this massive meteor impact that shaped the geology of the region, and as Bill speculates, could have altered the entire planet via a mass extinction.

My favorite part about the modern web is that everything is endlessly connected. I can ssh into my vps > raspberry pi > full home network from almost any device.

Everything has a terminal and everything can run or at least emulate Linux.

Need some sort of odd web service? Just spin up a tiny docker, it'll work.
