Have to choose, what should be self-hosted first? With timeframe for second indeterminate.
Are these available in the US? https://www.quorn.co.uk/products/quorn-uniquorns-vegan-unicorn-nuggets
Also props to Quorn for having their own products on their own site 3 out of 5 stars.
Hot dogs are sandwiches and peanut butter is a liquid.

I agree with https://www.penboutique.com/blogs/blog/fun-with-water-resistant-inks that Sailor Sou-boku is a really nice pigmented and water-resistant ink. I've been using it daily for a couple of months now.
I switched to it for writing in my planner so that 1) I can use highlighters over entries without smearing, and 2) when my < 1 yro puppy licks my todo list, it doesn't smear/vanish.
Can confirm it passes both tests.

Hey peeps! Do me a huge flavor? I moonlight with the immensely amazing Open Source Hardware Association, and we have a new baby mastodon account. Follow and share it? We know our folks are on here, and would love to reach them.

Tonight for dinner I sauteed the Instant Pot pressure cap.
Ashbery reading tonight, unexpectedly timely:
By the next day, Thursday,
bank examiners blew up the espaliered
orangery like at the charm school
massacre when milady partakes
of mildness, all smilax and curls,
and through the *tonnelle's* damp falls
as though this were a hirsute day
on the river.

Hello! It's time for an #introduction !
I'm the #fediverse embodiment of the #FOSS Governance Collection.
Ever need examples of how other FOSS projects or non-profits do things like voting, privacy policies, codes of conduct, and stuff like that? Then we're the project for you!
The collection is fully catalogued and searchable, thanks to the excellent @zotero #FreeSoftware project.
Follow us to stay up to date on news about the project!

It used to be the airplane was a bubble. Maybe the captain would come in and say something like “we’re seeing a bit of rain and wind in San Francisco, thanks for flying United.” Now I know we’ve got a typhoon and massive power outages in the Bay Area, there’s a 5.0 earthquake in Ferndale, please stand by for tsunami alerts. I’m not sure in-flight WiFi is such a great idea.

It's happening... More followers here on Mastodon than on Twitter. And y'all are much nicer here too.

The official announcement came out while I was on the road yesterday: https://f-droid.org/en/2023/03/20/f-droid-board.html
After months of community discussion, board selection, and meetings to establish statutes, roles and regulations we're officially up and running! I'm looking forward to serving as the chair on the inaugural @fdroidorg board!

On World Poetry Day, here are ten rules for aspiring poets.
Even worse, it did not mark my first couple replies to the thread as spam. Then, suddenly, the rest were marked spam.
If you're using Gmail, you're sort of not really using email.
