Some Mastodon tips I've learned:

- You need a fit, young hunting party
- They are not easy to bring down, so make sure your spears have extremely sharp tips
- Ensure you have a supply line and pack animals available to transport the meat and pelt back to the cave

Hello everyone. I made a decision regarding the events happening on journa.host. Journa.host is currently limited on infosec.exchange and will be moving to defederation if there are not improvements on journa.host. I've documented the situation and reasoning here: https://blog.infosec.exchange/2022/11/20/an-update-on-journa-host/

It's a heavy day for all of us.

If you are in a bad place for ANY REASON, or just need someone to talk to, I implore you to reach out.

I am heartbroken by this news. 5 are dead and 18 wounded from this horrific armed assault at a gay club hosting a drag show night in Colorado Springs.

An attack upon our community anywhere is an attack upon us all everywhere. My heart is with the victims and their families.

Here’s my #introduction. In my professional life as an #astronomer and #ResearchSoftwareEngineer I work on novel instrumentation for #astronomy, including imaging #stars using #opticalinterferometry, and #exoplanet discovery. My research involves coding in #C and #python. My favourite text editor is #emacs. In my spare time I enjoy #reading, #cooking and #cricket.

Just in case anyone is curious it costs me a little over $1,200 a month to run QOTO and all its services.
