Quick heads up: Kitten’s installer/downloads will be offline for a few minutes as I recreate kittens.small-web.org (the site that new Kittens are deployed to when they’re born) as it was originally on Ubuntu and sites deployed by Domain are now using AlmaLinux. Also, I am setting Kitten’s API version to 0 (it was initially set to 1) to signal that it is prerelease. When the version is back to 1 it will be because API version 1 is stable.

The very fact we have to say “vote against fascism” is a damning indictment of the failure of our democratic institutions and the rule of law. You shouldn’t be able to vote FOR fascism. Democracies that lack constitutional safeguards against fascism will, eventually, stop being democracies. When? At the last election. The one that elected the fascists. Democracy cannot tolerate fascism. Tolerance cannot tolerate intolerance. I’m afraid this is a lesson we will learn the hard way. Again.

Does anyone know of anyone offering managed Forgejo hosting?

(I don’t mean Codeberg. All my stuff is already on Codeberg. I mean where I could have my own VPS running Forgejo just for our own projects but where I wouldn’t have to deal with managing yet another server.)

I thought God of War and Baldur’s Gate 3 might have ruined most games for me by setting the bar so high but I’m really enjoying one of the loveliest games I’ve played in a while and it’s… are you sitting down?…

Cat Quest!

(Yep.)

It’s a gentle/sweet/fun Zelda/Final Fantasy/Skyrim inspired 2.5D cartoon-like RPG that you can dip in and out of made by a small studio in Singapore. I stumbled onto it on PlayStation Plus but it’s on all platforms.

G’morning, all! And a special shout out to the folks here in Ireland: please go out and vote today in the local and EU elections. As lefty as you can. They’re all imperfect systems but at least we have proportional representation here and that’s way better than what most folks have. And we must fight the rise of fascism here and in the EU. This is one – of many – ways we do that. So please, go out and vote.

Is Apple Intelligence when my HomePod connects to the printer’s WiFi and then freaks out that it can’t reach the Internet?

Thank fuck Siri ain’t driving the car is all I have to say. https://mastodon.social/@macrumors/112575051803106245

Well that sucks: looks like the server I set up yesterday for the Kitten distribution site just got reset. Hetzner had a note on about a fault with new server creations a few minutes ago. Darn it.

Guess that’s me recreating the server from scratch again.

Well, it’s practice I guess but this is the first time I’ve seen a fault of this severity on Hetzner.

:kitten: Say hello to the new Kitten web site! 🎉

https://kitten.small-web.org

Like Kitten itself, it’s a baby but will be evolving quickly as they approach API version 1 together.

Enjoy!

💕

PS. Of course it’s written in Kitten itself. It doesn’t do anything fancy but here’s the source code if you’re interested: https://codeberg.org/kitten/site

I have to say I do like the results you get in Icons8 when you search for Mark Zuckerberg.
