This tiny (n=83) study suggests that meditation can have a small benefit over other relaxation techniques:
"mindfulness meditation may be specific in its ability to reduce distractive and ruminative thoughts and behaviors, and this ability may provide a unique mechanism by which mindfulness meditation reduces distress."
I watered my outdoor plants just over an hour ago. Now dark clouds are gathering.
Nonsensical conclusion: using a garden hose is a "rain dance"
/me hisses at the mention of CGNAT

CGN is a really ugly hack that should only be used when nothing else will get you through the transition to IPv6.
🍍 is a huge success
People complaining about free speech on Mastodon instancesfeels like cis straight people complaining about not not having a place at the pride. IT'S NOT ABOUT YOU, FUCKING IDIOT. Choose your instance and love it. Your instance may not be a perfectly neutral place and that's the fucking point of having multiple instances in the network. Find your place or make one. Don't go to someone else's and fuck it up for jealously. It's disgusting.

@ikey I'm not specifically against systemd for hating-systemd's sake. I'm against it because nearly every time I look at it, it has horrible behaviours and activity.
If those behaviours are fixed, I wouldn't care.

On my home network, I have one device named artoo (R2), and another named c3pio (a Raspberry Pi 3). This is good.
Has anyone seen @tariqk recently? Did he move instances? No toots for a week is strange for him, I think.
That milan feels kinda sorta bad about maybe having done something wrong -- which he not only hasn't done jack shit to redress, but has actually made worse by banning the victm instead of the abuser and turning her into a target for harassment by the abuser's friends -- isn't an apology. And it's sure as HELL not a legitimate reason to continue tolerating him and his instance.
wow hey so when your server has 500s sometimes the thing you tried to send while it was down sends a bunch of times when it's back up
I'm glad we have @CobaltVelvet
That is all.
some days are best characterized as a series of inadvertent experiments.
Lesson: these "nifty" remote controlled gadgets don't handle unplanned power outages well.
Contrast that "turn on!" behavior to my server: it receives the power failure message from the connected UPS, shuts down its VMs cleanly, then turns off also cleanly. THAT is how to handle a power failure.
I had a rare electrical power outage last night.
First I couldn't sleep because I was listening to the storm, and feeling thunder shake the house.
Then power went out, and I heard sounds inside. I learned that the Eufy robot vacuum starts cleaning when the power goes out (really?!).
I struggled to sleep until power returned just over an hour later. Then I learned that my TCP Connected (remote control) lights turn on when power returns! There are 4 in my bedroom. TOO BRIGHT!
Zzz ...

It is not monday that you hate. It is capitalism.
@CobaltVelvet Just so you know...
I'm really thankful for the amazing #octodonlife you have provided here.
Today has been extraordinarily positive for me and I absolutely love being here.
So yeah.
THANK YOU AS ALWAYS!
I call this morning's hair style goingtobedwithwethair (my hair is standing up on one side). At least (heh) *I* don't have to look at it today.
