How to Configure #Linux for Children https://www.maketecheasier.com/configure-linux-for-children/
Last night I got to experience the joys of an #Alexa wired house while hanging out with friends.
It was largely yelling at devices in different rooms so they would stop playing over each other and nearly losing a trivia game because it didn't understand my pronunciation of "Babadook". The future is not quite here. #IOT
a message to our community of those who are struggling with feelings of lonelines, abandonment and depression: just remember,
YOU ARE NOT ALONE.
in these festive days, we are especially vulnerable and in need of support. so reach out to your best friend, to you family, tell them to watch out for you a little bit more, make hugs a bit longer than usual, hold hands with your friend. keep people around you. take care of yourself, you can make it, day by day, hour by hour. 🌞 ☀️ 🌻
Stone Xocoveza is my new holiday tradition. Mexican hot chocolate inspired stout. Prepping for winter now requires a case. #beer https://octodon.social/media/kMr1JemADCR35xogDTA
Just finished watching "mother!"
First takeaway - get locks on all of our upstairs rooms.
Second takeway - it may be years before I decide if that was utterly brilliant or just plain crazy.

I really like the idea of #Mastodon, but I think I'm only now beginning to understand it. Hashtags are key. Want to find peeps discussing #linux? They're there. #photography? Same thing.
Now the trick is to develop that habit instead of... however I was doing it on birbsite.
I am watching a video explaining how to type in Excel because there are other topics I'm interested in but refuse to skip around online training.
WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME?!
*Not Politics* - So no CW
Example fake comment submitted to the #FCC #NetNeutrality issue.
Uses former President Barack Obama's name and Whitehouse address :P
Got an email alert that my windshield wiper fluid is low. Both helpful and creepy! #iot
Final day for the original #drip platform as it now becomes the #kickstarter version of #patreon. So I'm trying to learn some webscraping skills to backup all of my data.
Argh! The web was supposed to be forever!
Oh Eris. Wow. Mudge posted a link to this. This is intense. I can’t download the python script linked in the post yet. If anyone grabs it, let me know:
The FCC just killed net neutrality https://www.theverge.com/2017/12/14/16776154/fcc-net-neutrality-vote-results-rules-repealed
@CobaltVelvet at this point, which do you prefer, patreon or liberapay?
Went through another binge on Twitter last night due to election craziness. Time to get back to easing myself off it.
Seeing some #infosec peeps migrating certainly helps.
Is it possible Federal case against renowned asshat Shkreli was just to get the one-of-a-kind #WuTang album released? #music https://pitchfork.com/news/federal-prosecutors-want-martin-shkreli-to-hand-over-rare-wu-tang-album-lil-waynes-tha-carter-v/
I keep getting sucked into the fast stream of crazy news over on twitter. What can I say? Hot takes on Flynn's perpwalk are giving me a high... #politics
On to more important matters. Hessian in Paradise is a tart and refreshing Berlin weisse from Gun Hill Brewery. Would totally buy again and drink several. #beer https://octodon.social/media/vlvtGnbJXtLSA74JP9A
Or sports in general?
Eli Manning has been benched and you would think the greatest injustice in the world has taken place.
Why do I still follow the #NFL?
