Thank you @courtcan, I like reading these lists. My five or more books/or stories read by #author list. This isn't all of them; I haven't got to the attic bookcase, yet. A pattern emerged. Can you see it?

I hope everyone takes this #challenge to write up their list, too.
:verified_bike: Wir suchen den schmalsten Radweg Deutschlands! :verified_bike:
Schickt Photos von Radwegen in Eurer Umgebung, die deutlich zu schmal sind - der schmalste wird prämiert und die entsprechende Kommune erhält einen angemessenen Preis.
Soeben Bericht von einem Lehrer aus einer Gemeinschaftsschule hier bekommen, was heute schon alles passiert ist.
Unter anderem: Es gibt wohl eine TikTok-Challenge, bei der man Frauen 10 Sekunden lang an die Brüste fassen muss/soll. Das probieren dann Sechstklässler an Fünftklässlerinnen.
Kann es sein, dass die Welt völlig aus den Fugen gerät? Dass wir zugucken, staunen - und wegsehen?
Question con, mais est-ce qu'il y a une communauté potagère sur #Mastodon ? Je débute avec 1000 interrogations sur le sujet 😁
Le repouète augmente la productivité... du potager 🤣
Édit : peut-être qu'il y déjà un mot dièse dédié ???
I'm looking forward to the new #Ladybird browser becoming mature enough to become a viable alternative to Firefox as a daily driver.
I've seen it mentioned that at this time its development is apparently driven by the need to be able to render specific websites and/or page, so I'm going to throw a #challenge that even Chrome failed at rendering correctly until recently:
Ever so often, I decide that I need to do some kind of #challenge.
I've embarked on an "extreme #Mediterranean#diet", in which I pretend it's 1951, & I'm somewhere in Manna in the Corinthian mountains.
Today, the challenge was to make a sweet treat.
I've decided to make a 'Fanouropita', a Lenten #cake to honour #Saint Phanourios. He's asked to find things that have been lost because his icon was found intact in the ruins of a church.
I noticed that many artists are doing the evil art style challenge and I wanted to try it too. I tried it on this artwork from 2022. The left side is my main style and the right side is the opposite.
I haven't really drawn anything without contours or close to realism for about 10 years (And I am not a big fan of grayscale), so I was a bit rusty, but I hope I did well.
This style:
-No colors or contours
-Semirealism
-Fully rendered soft shaded character
-The neck is thicker than her wrist (lol)
TOMOROW , I drink the first coffe after my #Nocoffeeweek.
I advise any coffee drinker to give it a try, it sounds like something absurd but now my night's sleep really rests.
Before this "challenge" I drink about 4 coffees a day, I'm going to go to 1 or 2 maximum, because there are still benefits to continuing to drink it (and it's so tasty haha) .
If you would like some NLnet Labs stickers while you are at #FOSDEM2024, please find @partim in the #DNS Devroom on Saturday or @maarten in the EU #Policy Workshop Devroom on Sunday. And, of course, don’t miss their presentations! #FOSDEM#FOSS#OpenSource
@nlnetlabs we better make that handover work @partim, I see promises were made 😅.
One way out: we can fail if the DNS devroom just takes them all on Sat. Surely they can’t manage that? #challenge
Ok. Fun #network#debug#challenge for you. (I worked out the solution, your challenge is to work out what the cause is).
Machine a is connected to machine b, via a direct ethernet cable. On machine a it's connected to eth5. On b its eth0. A is assigned 192.168.1.1, and b is assigned .2. There is no ping. Communication doesn't seem to work.
Running tcpdump on machine a causes ping to work. But only while tcpdump is running. Tcpdump on b makes no difference.
I've been posting on Mastodon for 10 days already and I like it a lot, more and more people are participating and responding to me.
Very surprised in a good way by the application and the community !
Still picture in #BlackAndWhite from a time lapse I made when I painted in black ink the Angel of Death Victorious.
The bronze sculpture of a life-size angel guarding the grave of Francis Haserot at Lake View Cemetery, Cleveland, Ohio was created in 1924 by sculptor Herman Matzen.
The black tears that pour out of his eyes and drain down his neck appeared over time as the bronze aged.
This ring is precious to me. A gift from my mother who received it as a gift from my father at the occasion of the birth of my twin brother and me. He’d bought the ring with matching pendant and earrings (which she’s keeping) at an antique shop.
