Dear community,
my friend is thinking about joining Mastodon and/or the fediverse. Specifically, she is looking for the #spanish speaking #archeology community!
As we all know it is notoriously difficult to find a server that matches our preferences (language, region, interests, moderation policies...)
Aggregators like www.joinmastodon.org or #fedigarden rely on server #admins to register their instances (*cough I would not have found fedihum there)
edit: thank you! You helped a lot!

Cleaning a stovetop has never been this hilarious!

I shall call him... Mini Servo!

I originally printed a soda can sized Crow T Robot as the prototype before going for the 1:2 scale one.

Now the mini Crow gets a mini Tom Servo as a friend so they can hang out together on top of the arcade's network rack.

RFK Jr. announced today that the Department of Health and Human Services would cut 10,000 employees.

If you have been impacted by the layoffs, our reporters want to hear from you. You can reach out to us on Signal at 917-512-0201 or by going to https://www.propublica.org/tips/.

I'm looking for a job. I have 30 years of experience doing complex systems programming in many languages, most recently Typescript, Haskell, and Python. I learn quickly. I can do advanced mathematics.

In 2024 I helped a company migrate 15,000 customers from another company into their own systems.

In 2023 I helped develop a differential privacy database product written in Haskell.

Before that I helped develop a laboratory information management system that tracked up to 40,000 Covid-19 tests per day.

I live in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA, but I have years of success working remotely, and I am also willing to consider relocation.

Please check out my CV.

Because then they’d be bay-gulls!

“This place is making me very uncomfortable, Jessica.”

A while ago I discovered someone made an e-ink Portal-inspired calendar. Well last week I finally caved, and bought all the parts to make my own!

This was my first foray into using an ESP32 (as well as soldering) so all things considered, I'm happy that it's running at all given my lack of skills in the areas.

If you want to make your own, the printables page has the models and a link to the GH with the code, BoM, and build instructions:

Emily Jazmin Tatum Perez was a West Point graduate. While serving in Iraq, she was killed in action by an I.E.D., the first black female officer in U.S. military history to die in combat and the first female graduate of West Point to die in Iraq.

The video documenting why she chose to serve in the Army and in combat has been deleted by the Army under the Trump Administration.

Erasing her from the collective memory of America will not be tolerated. - Mel Tansill
