Chilling out after work with the latest 8-Bit Show And Tell episode, on 6502 assembly 
Robin's calm exposition and one-handed typing are so... soothing. The nerd equivalent of a knitting show 😌

The fediverse’s first public Managed Group Server is live!
- Sign up while all the good names are available *
You can go to https://groups.qoto.org and register for a group. But be sure to read the about/more page first to understand how it works! https://groups.qoto.org/about/more
Anyway, as far as I know this is the first time the fediverse has had an open, managed group server.
QOTO also has the group directory. Attached is what the group directory, and a group timeline looks like on QOTO, but we did some streamlining, your client may render groups differently and most wont have the directory, which is a federated list of active groups.
Anyway, anyone who wants a group, go sign up for one! Its open now!
I wish I could be a customer just to reward this awesome site:

Use a mask, use Tor.
Today we’re launching our year-end campaign centered on the ways we can care for ourselves and our community: by masking up and using Tor. Anonymity loves company, after all.
Help resist the surveillance pandemic. #UseAMaskUseTor
My 6yo son yesterday during family boardgame time:
"Dad are we in my brain?"
"What do you mean son?"
"What if I'm sleeping and dreaming all of you? What if you are sleeping and I'm just one of your dreams?"
Woah, I wasn't prepared to discuss this so early, but we had a great time.
Looking for an EPUB reader for my tablet with a single use case: reading EPUB books.
No analytics. No crash reports. No sync. No cloud access.
Let me read my book, alone.
They are really arguing plain-text isn't inclusive enough...
My energy provider sent me this nice report with the source type breakdown. More information for better decision making.
Lunduke's argument should cause some discomfort:
if you're out there defending the replacement of master/slave terminology because it *reminds* people of slavery, but at the same time use a MacBook, an iPad or an iPhone, which are produced by slave-like labor, you should rethink some choices.
First recommendation for today's playlist.
Come on YouTube, why do you want to see me cry this early in the morning?
For those who celebrate (or demand) a political stand from companies, media channels, celebrities, a poet once said:
"Your friendship is a fog
That disappears when the wind redirects"
I always pronounced Gemini as "Gem-uh-knee" and today a friend pronounced as "Gem-uh-nigh" so I went to check on the dictionary and it had the latter as the correct one. WHAT?!
I was pretty sure all the documentaries I watched used "knee" - I went back and watched some again, there it is.
Then I found this posted by the NYT.
I'm assuming the #gemini protocol is also pronounced with a "knee" given it's name was inspired by the space program.
My maternal grandmother would have been 93 today.
I miss her.
This excellent debate is coming up at #fosdem (you can watch live via video stream):
"The 4 Freedoms and OSD are outdated and no longer relevant in 2020"

Boarding my flight to #fosdem
Just found out about #chaosscon happening on Friday: https://chaoss.community/chaosscon-2020-eu/
Unfortunately it's sold out :(
I joined the waitlist and can only hope more tickets become available.
FreeNAS 11.3 is out.
I fly to Brussels for #fosdem in a few hours.
Why not update now?
What could go wrong?
