The market was crowded and smelled terrible even with the enchanted mask of health covering her nose and mouth... Yet, the goblin was drawn to the exotic humans, elves and gnomes from all over. There were even centaurs, whose huge wagons were drawn by large reptiles.

She picked a notably foreign caravan and offered her services for a seat to their next destination.

"What services?"

"I tell stories!"

It was an entertaining voyage for all.

Ok so it rained. A lot of mizzle that gets you wet through. But it was perfect. The sea was exceptionally cold on my feet. Gormley’s Another Place got to me emotionally far more than I was expecting. The sight and sound of the sea was as restorative as it always is. And I had an amazing vegan lunch at a nice pub.

Dear Friends of Ducks and Linux critters,
@helplessduck

is now on two of my computers. So it may be rock solid as @helplessduck mentions. Which is the state of my head. :abloblurk:
Never used Budgie, am using .

I appreciate the advice and will follow up your links. As a committed hopper, I have used , , etc but as a long time User, I am used to speed on older hardware.

This morning, I was on two different versions of Puppy. I was able to look at a PDF of how my server was assembled. In the past I would self build myself but glad I did not this time.

Manjaro comes with . I may end up using LAMP, as Hiawatha has discontinued development

Been looking inside my Server. I likes hardware.

It is all interesting but much more time consuming than I expected.

Manjaro protects me from my own stupidity AND on the whole I use the installer whenever possible.

I will prevail. Thanks again :lobster:

I'm very proud of the students at #Owasso High school who walked out of classes today in protest of their school's bullying policies and the ongoing mistreatment of transgender youth.

An old friend of mine, Crip Dyke, has written a piece for Wonkette that rounds up everything we know about Nex Benedict and their death at this moment. It's an excellent synopsis, a warning against jumping to conclusions, and an invitation to connect with Nex by focusing on a song, "The Devil In I" by Slipknot, which they enjoyed.

Dear Friends of , 🦆

It was cold and on the but the pochard was and about among the other water birds.
Good to see him. Did not spot the female but she hopefully was still about.

Dear Friends of Beginners, :byebrows:

Using my new superpower of being kind to computers, I entered my new desktop and started to use some of the terminal/cli/command line possibilities from a . I felt like I was a power user. I am not a power user of course. I am a perpetual Linux beginner. However it felt good. I even poweroffed by typing "poweroff". I also killed some orphans. However not quite sure what they are in Linux Parseltongue.

I am still looking out for a simple way to create a home server, after my disastrous efforts to use a hosting service to run a mastodon instance/server.

Anyway more as it happens. For now food time ...

Day 30 of my recumbent ebike build: Ordered tools to open up the motor and fix that clicking sound.

Fixed the pedal assist. I needed to set the cycle analyst to use 2-wire PAS encoding. Prior to that, PAS would only kick in when I was going below 5 mph. Weird!

Went on a couple rides today. Average efficiency is under 4 wh/mi (2.5 wh/km). That’s way better than I expected!

With that, I consider this build finished (for now)! Thanks for all the encouragement and feedback!

He burst into the shack and stopped short.

"After something, son?" quavered the crone.

He shuffled his feet. "Sorry, ma'am. Hunting a spider." As she looked upwards, he clarified, "A giant spider. Rumours even say a were-spider."

"Oh, my. Nowt like that's been by. Why not rest here for a bit?"

"Thanks." Laying his axe down, he sat by the fire.

"Cold?" She tossed her #shawl over him.

"Uh..." He tried to move. Why were the strands so sticky?
