Migration time
@GoFedi is getting ready to migrate us to their servers, so we'll be going quiet here for 7 to 10 days while they do their things and the new DNS settings propogate, and be switching to using @Jeph for all things related to this blog and my personal blog. Recalls and TaurNation will continue to post as usual as any loss that might come from the transfer isn't considered an issue on those blogs.
@GoFedi can y'all make sure everything is updated? I think BookFace grew up and became a real theme (dillyofapickle.com/display/8aaβ¦), and that'll need to be installed, and we've had a little flakyness since the last Friendica update. Thanks.

Hmm, just had a horror movie idea, Jesus, a murdered gardner comes back to kill those who wronged him. He Has Risen, watch as Jesus mows down victim after victim.

Anyone know what kind of graphite (or anything else) is best for repairing these contacts in a #C64 keyboard? All the pads on the PCB work, but some of the rubber plungers need a reapplication of their conductive material.
I'm sure this is a solved problem so I'm asking the fediverse π

Uggh...
I don't normally have any problems with daylight savings time, well, other than that it exists, but this time....
Yeah, I never sleep the night through, but its only twice that I wake up 2ish and 4ish, but not last night, it was one of those nights where I wake up basically once an hour. And then there's the needing to sort out when it is.
Yeah, didn't need that on top of that, thanks.
Can we just get rid of it? Let's switch to two time zones, and split the difference by adjusting the clocks by a Β½ hour, and call it American time.

It's a strange feeling logging onto the news to hear that Trump has just declared war against my country, Nigeria.
On the one hand, it's scary. Cos not only is it the greatest military force in human history, it's the greatest military force in human history at the whim of a madman.
But then he's got such a short attention span that next week he'll be warring against Tatooine.
Nigeria is not perfect. We do have Islamic terrorists. But they kill BOTH Christians & Muslims.

Is there anyone with access to a newspaper archive or maybe the Washington Post archive who could look something up for me?
I want to see this quotation from the December 25, 1904 Washington Post:
βNow, thatβs enough,β interposed Maud(e), βletβs skidoo.β And they skidooed with smiles and backward glances.
I want to know who said it (or who Maude was), and the bigger context.
Thanks!

Imagine you're an ICE coward and you have to face an army of people with cameras-- while being mocked like this-- to get at the immigrants.
It works.
Fixed a dumb issue with Tales.Tiggi.es, our WriteFreely instance.
It was throwing generic errors on subscribe attempts.
Tracked it down to a β10 second timeout.β
Like everything else, we run our own mail server here.
That server is configured to delay greetings by 20 seconds to help mitigate SPAM.
WriteFreely has a hard coded 10s timeout, at which point it throws a timeout error.
Iβve added an exclude for the IP Tales.Tiggi.es is on (I shouldβve earlier anyway) so the 20s greeting delay no longer applies.
Long story short, email subscriptions, just like federation and RSS feeds all work.
Now just need more folks actually using it.
