So I have one month to get my site revamped and ready. On July 28 I will be celebrating the 20TH ANNIVERSARY OF MY DOMAIN NAME! When I first registered it I paid $70 for two years.
Need to do this right...
OK, well if you use a strict definition...
So then you think the immaculate conception is both a myth *and* true?
so i'm on old with customer service - recording tells me I can access my info online using a mobile device, like an iPhone or a TREO....wtf? How long has it been since they updated this recording? LOL
tfw you reply to a boosted toot then realize it was originally posted 10 weeks ago *doh!*
¿Ya viste a Robin de cuerpo completo en #Titans? Aquí tenemos las primeras fotos oficiales

Someone was making a fork of the Mastodon project and I hope they named it Mastodon’t.
tfw you have 150mb of photos to upload and your ISP upload speed is ..... 0.59mbps.....
And her, can’t forget her
as many times as I've changed DNS records, you'd think I'd have this down by now. No, evidently I'm a bumbling noob. *facepalm*

did that text formatting sorta weird. We really need a way to use #markdown in posts here.
I was browsing a Peertube instance earlier and stumbled upon a copy of The Internet's Own Boy, a documentary about Aaron Swartz.
I haven't seen it before so I decided to give it a watch.
By the end of it I was in tears, I don't think I've seen anything in a while that made me cry like that.
Also, I had no idea he co-authored the RSS 1.0 specification, wow.

Here's the cover I designed over the weekend for an eBook I'm writing called "How to Write a Book About Your Pet."
Finally had to NOPE on Calibre ebook server. What an overly complex piece of code! Now serving up my ebooks using a 17mb binary which sits in the same folder as my ebooks - set up to run as a systemd service of course. It JUST WORKS. Note: the ebook folder it is running out of is actually on my external USB drive...
me: WTF? Where did my post just go?
me: Oh shit. I clicked away from it. It's gone. I was given no warning. Fuck you Mastodon!
me: I should post a fucking rant about this.
*starts typing*
me: WTF? Where did my post just go? AGAIN??? How the........goddammit....

another follow-up. Dropped tmux, now using Tilix to handle Quake-drop-down and easy window splitting. Inside it the shell is now good old zsh. Oh-my-zsh and -fish are ideas that sound great, but somehow ended up *more* complicated. So my prompt is pared down to mainly two items and some nice colors. I'm good.
tfw - you search, you read, you get excited - Yes! This is the solution I've been looking for!
then you realize you've already read this article...
'Trump’s diplomacy, such as it is, has been subjected to withering attack, especially by liberal opinion: How could the US president agree to meet on friendly terms with a brutal dictator? How could he fail to demand that North Korea end its human rights violations, which are indeed horrendous?
Willingness to look at “the whole story” suggests some other questions, of course unasked — in fact, unthinkable: How could Kim agree to meet on friendly terms with the head of the state that world opinion overwhelmingly regards as the greatest threat to peace? How could North Korea fail to demand that the US end its human rights violations, also horrendous? Has North Korea done anything remotely like invading Iraq, the worst crime of this century? Or destroying Libya? Has it been condemned by the ICJ for international terrorism [...]?'
