I was just called to do tech support for my partner, because Cloudflare. Little did I know, it was not just her machine or network connection.

ICYMI - we need to keep Mastodon secure, and to help everyone to enjoy the latest improvements. We support older releases for fixed periods (main release version “minus two”, for six months after release of latest; so 4.1.x ends 6 months after 4.3 is released). Per the support policy, End of Life for the 4.1.x series is approaching. We’ll also start to remove instances that run older versions from the list of servers on the website, as we retire older versions. Please upgrade! 🙏🏻 #MastoAdmin

Swatches. Why yes I do have a variety of purple materials, why do you ask? #PocketReform #purple #3dprinting

Level up! 48. -1 wealth, +3 old man stories. 💫

I am at Newspeak House in London for Cybersalon, celebrating the 30th birthday of the Mosaic web browser (more or less)

nostr:npub1k9fw26axwawt7pmvw2ppgzq5qs8asdx5529xxmxuwenxe289ag6qttmynj ha - as the only ones left in the field we might have been a good target - no supercharged devices this morning though.

Sounding windy outside the tent this morning… 😬

Hampshire views 🏞 #camping #uk

Just spent a bit of time setting up lighting for the tent. Fortunately, like any prepared #maker, I happened to bring soldering iron, solder mat, trimmers, #pimoroni Plasma 2040 #rp2040, and a lot of LEDs along on the camping trip. /cc nostr:npub15nnuphxzae42peq9dsw9wwpxjpfa0rzf7te65zktsp5sgzt4ujcqpgsdr0 TODO: a nice case for the Plasma 2040; I did not bring a #3dprinter with me to this field in Hampshire!

nostr:npub1cncn4ug6mnj0e0qxu0j84drytfadr3gaa3su3t77js6l3etz5n2swkwf6u I asked Alexa what time it would *stop* raining, she helpfully told me, “it’s raining right now” and didn’t answer the question… 🙄
