I wonder how crazy it would be if the aurora borealis (or australis) would become visible in the tropics. 🤔

me last week: ehehe I'll change both the pronoun and time zone fields in my masto profile so that after the hackathon at least the time zone will be outdated and I'll be forced to think about the pronoun experiment too

me now: :blobfoxdetermined: :blobfoxangry: :blobfoxtableflip:

heh, GitLab (.com, not the Wikimedia one) notified me that a personal access token is expiring in <7 days

according to the list of tokens, I created it on 16 November 2017, and it was “Last Used: Never” (which I suspect really means “before they started tracking usage information”)

I haven’t the faintest idea what I created the token for… guess I’ll just let it expire then

if “mastodon wrapped” or “tusky wrapped” was a thing I’d be genuinely interested in my “time taken to write posts” vs. “time taken to write alt texts” statistic ^^

Can’t wait to watch the thrilling tale of a weak and pathetic creature, whose every living moment is agony, who flees, is hunted down, captured, and tortured by the leaders of first one and then the other side of a power struggle he cannot understand. Truly a parable for our times.

@Ash_Crow @adnan The Hunt for the Ring is part of the Unfinished Tales, I assume that’s what they’re drawing on.

I'm on the way to ! First part: night train from Berlin to Stockholm \o/

LucasWerkmeister,
@LucasWerkmeister@wikis.world avatar

however, now that I know Stockholm is just a night train away, maybe I can just go here on a weekend trip some other time 🤔

LucasWerkmeister,
@LucasWerkmeister@wikis.world avatar

Stockholm has gay traffic lights 😍

and speaking of stickers, these BaWü ones are quite ubiquitous (first one's in Tallinn, second one's in Stockholm)

a similar sticker but this time in German: "Nett hier. Aber waren Sie schon mal in Baden-Württemberg?"; in the background, some trees and a view of Stockholm below (the photo was taken on the observatory hill)

I'm on the train back to Berlin btw \o/ it departed ca. 30 mins late, let's see how much they manage to catch up overnight

unfortunately, I'm not in a couchette car this time but in a regular seat :blobfoxcry: :blobfoxnotlikethis: :screm:

so this'll be a fun night ._.

it's also amazing how this train has much worse wifi than the ferry did out in the Baltic Sea – I had to wait like 15 minutes for the emoji list to load so I could add those blobfoxen above

LucasWerkmeister,
@LucasWerkmeister@wikis.world avatar

(tbf that's not really the train's fault – I imagine the ferry pays a hefty price for better receivers and can afford it due to its upper-class customers, but it wouldn't really be sensible to do that on the train. but it would be nice if there were more regular cell towers along the train route)

LucasWerkmeister,
@LucasWerkmeister@wikis.world avatar

oop, they've started to turn off the lights in the train

LucasWerkmeister,

reached Lund! I know that as the German name of some kind of marine animal (a seabird maybe?) from the translations of some Enid Blyton books (Famous Five and/or Adventure series, not sure) ^^

crossing the Öresund / Øresund bridge! (I know you can't see jack shit in the dark, you'll have to take my word for it :P)

LucasWerkmeister,
@LucasWerkmeister@wikis.world avatar

and suddenly I'm in Denmark!

huge bridge. infrastructure. love it

LucasWerkmeister,
@LucasWerkmeister@wikis.world avatar

yeah trying to sleep in a normal seat is misery. I'm just constantly switching between different poses trying to find one that feels good for a while

LucasWerkmeister,
@LucasWerkmeister@wikis.world avatar

guess what it's fucking passport control time again

(or at least we're again standing still in the same spot)

LucasWerkmeister,
@LucasWerkmeister@wikis.world avatar

we're finally moving again. no actual passport control took place, at least not in our carriage – we just stood stuff in the dark for no reason

LucasWerkmeister,
@LucasWerkmeister@wikis.world avatar

(which means my ID was only checked once on this whole trip, when boarding the ferry on the way back)

LucasWerkmeister,
@LucasWerkmeister@wikis.world avatar

arrived in Hamburg, which should be the last stop before Berlin

you know what else nobody has checked yet? my train ticket lol

LucasWerkmeister,
@LucasWerkmeister@wikis.world avatar

yawn well, I think that's all the sleep I'm getting tonight. good morning

LucasWerkmeister,
@LucasWerkmeister@wikis.world avatar

arrived in Berlin main station! I'm not gonna post a new outfit selfie, just imagine me in the same clothes as yesterday but with twice as much beard stubble

LucasWerkmeister,
@LucasWerkmeister@wikis.world avatar

saw a fox on the way home! (didn't manage to get a photo)

LucasWerkmeister,
@LucasWerkmeister@wikis.world avatar

anyway, I'm back home! \o/

I'll probably cap off this thread with some kind of summary later but now it's time for some wörk first
