All right, back to some Dwarf Fortress lead-up to the upcoming Adventure Mode update! We've survived Goblins, vampires, magma, and an Etton. We're now a County with a promotion to Duchy not too far off in the distance. We'll probably need to plan out a Royal Bedroom soon enough.

We've got steel production but I need to set up some stockpiles before we automate it.

After that? We get our standing army going. 😈

So...

Just my luck.

Last week I said I was going to use WordPress for my backend from my current CMS and... the founder turns out to be a major chucklefuck.

Uuuuugh. So anyone know of a CMS that isn't WordPress but supports ActivityPub?

Photobucket is really getting kinda pushy here.

last night I had this dream I was working at a restaurant called "Lucky's" (it's logo was a 4-leaf clover). It was my first day as a waiter, and I was being trained by this young employee who absolutely hated me. To make things worse, the restaurant was huge and we were the only two wait staff working there.

I kept getting lost trying to show customers their tables. People were lining up to be seated and people were not getting their orders. I couldn't figure out the POS system.

So yeah.

So has anyone had experience setting up a #Matrix server using #Synapse? The platform itself seemed pretty straightforward until it got to the part where I needed to configure a mail server. What solutions do people use?

I want desperately to set my own server and ween myself off of Discord soooo badly. 😅

I've got this knack for discovering amazing people who are also pop culture phenomena several years after they've passed on.

It all started with Mitch Hedberg when learned about him way back in 2010 😅

I'm going to be upgrading my peertube instance in a little bit. I'm going to do both the OS and the server software so a reboot will likely be involved. Downtime is expected to be at most a few minutes.

Hello fellow mastopeeps! We found these flowers sprouting up and down a stretch of boulevard grass on our walk in Saint Paul today. It looks like it was probably a garden flower that got loose and it's spreading up and down the entire block. I'm guessing it's probably an invasive species.

Anyone know what kind of flower this might be?

My problem with the term "tradwives" is that it sounds just like something Margaret Atwood would have invented in one of her cautionary tales.

Oof, I got a major item on my list of things I need to get done this week ticked off this morning and I can feel the stress lifting itself away 😅

We have a fort humming along just nicely. The undead creatures are mostly keeping to themselves but they do occasionally harass the visitors. Our axe dwarves are pretty good at keeping them down though the severed parts like to reanimate occasionally.

After a couple of healthy migration waves we need to set up a proper home now. Hospital, temple, and a tavern are on the list, but also bedrooms. Time to get settled in!

I am having a hard time focusing on work today.

These stupid linting errors for a project I'm trying to port over to the latest version of our framework is not helping any.

That moment when the two bunny picture profiles you follow on the fedi turn out to be different people and you see them talking to each other in your TL. 🤯

You means there is more than one bun?

@JoParkerBear Huh. Lucky guess! 😮

I solved this JoWordle 781 with 2/6 attempts in 17.8 seconds. Can you do better?

Ugh, you ever see a post that is meant to give advice but the advice is very bad and you just want to yell at the person?

Plain HTML purists are bad at that. "Don't bother writing your web app in React, write it in plain HTML instead!"

I'm a big fan of KISS, but listen. Anything written in plain HTML is not an app. It's a document. To have even the most basic interactivity in the form of a POST request you need a minimum of a backend server platform to process it.

#Minnesota folks, watch out for slippery conditions on concrete. I went to bring in my garbage and recycling bins and my feet slid on the ground as I pulled up on them to wheel them inside. The snow landed on the concrete, melted, and is now refreezing as fresh snow falls on top of the wet ice layer.

I hate the term "prompt engineering". There's no actual engineering going on. Words have meaning, dammit!

Our Technocratic Empire is growing! Can we keep our edge through the mid-game as we expand into our sector?

There seems to be a lot of people who advise trans people or other minorities who are having their rights restricted to "move out of their state".

So, outside of the extremely problematic nature of that advice, here's a question:

What happens when they run out of places to run to?

(Note that I did not say "if")

I got new interwebs today. I'm upgraded to gigabit for the first time, which will be kind of fun. Download all the things?

My gaming machine is hooked up to my internal network via powerline adapter so I'm not going to see huge gains there (I'm effectively capped at 40 Mbit upstairs but that's plenty fast for my purposes). However my upload speeds are definitely faster now. I don't think that will have a huge impact on my streaming as the bottleneck there is server-side.

But hey! Better tubes!

I uploaded my first VLOG. Nothing fancy; just a bit of an introduction. I hope you enjoy:

Never mind that there's no "i" in "team". I just want to know why there isn't an umlaut in "umlaut".
