We've silenced mastodon.se and will suspend in a week.

blog.mastodon.se/inl%C3%A4gg/%

This is a blog post by the admin of mastodon.se where they acknowledge that they have 'anti-political-correctness' accounts, anti-abortionists, harassers, etc. (there are neo-nazi adjacent accounts on there), saying they won't action their accounts because they don't want to be the 'thought police'.

As these kinds of accounts directly threaten the safety of the marginalised people on .art, we'll be defederating.

We had a bit of dough left over, and the little* boy made eight dumplings filled with Extra Sharp Cheddar Cheese. An innovation! They seem quite good.

*not in fact little anymore

At least one hosting provider (digital ocean) offers a turnkey mastodon instance that can be fired up on its own servers. What'd be nice would be a KVM disk image that can be started on on *any* hosting provider: start it up, set a few parameters in a single config file, and you're off and running.

I'm competent to make such a thing, but if someone's beat me to it let me know, because I'm also lazy.

(I know there are docker images. Not the same thing.)

I don’t know if we do pinned posts here but hello new followers!! I’m not paid/professional writer - I live with my ma and rely on kind strangers to stay afloat while I temp and freelance non-writing jobs. If you feel charitable I have a tip jar. No pressure and thank you so much for your support! :) patreon.com/amy_a

As you know, we are currently dealing with #malware waves. This makes us mad. Mostly mad at #blocklist providers, which are mostly either not well maintainers, or selling a commercial product, where you are even asked to pay for delisted.

This is far from allowing for a free and decentralized Internet.

I spent a lot of yesterday following along with the bonkers #ReceptioGate story, and it continues to give. It’s like a Chanukah miracle: you think it’s a wee bit of stale oil but then it turns into a righteous work of purifying academia from scammy scams. The latest from Peter Kidd: mssprovenance.blogspot.com/202

Fascinating article by Will Chavez in High Country News about Jennie Ross Cobb, the first known Native American female photographer. Most of her photographs, including the one below, were made between 1902 and 1905.

Rupert (Saskatchewan, Canada) has had so many boxes to sit in lately that he can’t possibly keep up. It’s like his humans want to make it his full time occupation. Luckily there are at least a lot of options when it comes to places to have naps and rebuild his energy.

In early December, northern hemisphere observers will enjoy their best view of Mars until the 2030s. The red planet will be high in UK skies and will appear brighter than any star. ✨

Learn how to observe the planet at the link below 👇

I am trying out #readwise as a read-later app / RSS tool, an alternative to Pocket and Instapaper. Quite powerful. I am enjoying the Kindle and other integrations. Ghostreader is also a cool feature. If anyone else out there has tried it, I would be interested in how you use it.

The rumours are true, I will be releasing 'The Bible 2' which will be my side of the story.

Facts about Jesus in the Quran:
•Mentioned by name more than Prophet Muhammad (sa)
•Attests to his virgin birth, miracles, sinlessness, & that he was Messiah
•Prophecies his second coming
•Muslims accept Jesus as part of our faith
We have more in common than many think!❤️ I hope all who celebrate have a blessed day today with loved ones.

Judge Rogers has had enough. After years arguing that it was the only real defendant in the United States’ largest litigation in history, #3M now claims that its newly bankrupt subsidiary, Aearo, is to blame. Rogers has now sanctioned 3M using her inherent power over the litigation. drive.google.com/file/u/0/d/17

@davew@mastodon.social: Blogs are little things

Blogs can be ephemeral.

Lots of people made arbitrary rules about blogging. You need to update your blog daily. Blog posts should be structured essays.

None of these rules are real. Many of these rules were made up by marketers and professional content creators and may be true in those fields, but if you are not a marketer, or looking to generate direct income from your blog, those rules do not apply to you.

I’ll try again, this time with hashtags:

I want to commission a 3D artist to create some models suitable for 3D printing / CAD / CNC (not necessarily for nice 3D renders). I’d also like to release the models open source / Creative Commons once they’re done. I don’t really know how to get started with finding someone, does anyone have any recommendations? #art #commission #CAD #3D #CNC #3dprinting

The models would be of “Spomenik” monuments:
