Mastodawn

As much as I'm enjoying reading the book, the tiny font is reminding me why I tend to prefer ebooks in every day reading.
But I do prefer physical books over all, so something must be done.

Do any of you have any recommendations for a magnifying glass of some kind to help? It would need to be both light and portable and possibly be used with the same hand holding the book.

chat! can one export a mastodon account's posts? and if yes, is it in a format you can use to import them into misskey/sharkey?

Ich versteh das Konzept der Wochenmärkte nicht. Das kann sich doch nicht lohnen, wenn um die Ecke der Großmarkt steht, bei dem man echte Mengen handeln kann.

Was ich auch nicht verstehe: Wie kriegen das die Discounter hin, gefühlte 80% des Frischfleischs nach ein paar Tagen wieder auszusortieren und irgendwie* zu entsorgen, und trotzdem so günstig zu sein?

*Hat jemand 'ne Ahnung, was mit dem abgelaufenen Fleisch passiert? Wird das Hundefutter?

I need to build another charging holster for 18650 batteries - something with an XT60 plug and a balance-port cable. I have one I crufted together but it's awkward.

I don't have a 3D printer because I can't make myself contribute to plastic waste. I'm curious if anyone knows of this sold as a product, or has an idea for a relatively sustainable plan for building one. (I know, it's a battery charger, so not super sustainable out of the gate.)

fediverse question: Can an ActivitiPub instance bundle in a STMP server with E2EE and use it as private DMs. Email interfaces can be modern, it's chats with muscle. email protocol as is always made the analogy to explain the fediverse, is the second most wide standard after the web.
Shouldn't be it the protocol for private comunications between groups in the Fediverse?

Hey, Star Trek folks. We were watching a TOS episode tonight - By Any Other Name - and this was one of the end credit images. I can't figure out what it's from. Does anyone know?

Boosts to get more eyes would be welcome, unless you know. Either way, thanks in advance.

UPDATE!!! @billmason notes:

That's a shot of a stuntman who was playing one of the androids in "Return to Tomorrow" taking his makeup off.

The shot actually comes from one of the blooper reels. In the reel while this is happening someone offscreen says "You wanted show business, you got it!" 😂

I like to scroll through Mastodon with my phone’s browser but I’ve noticed, with the new update, that I can’t tell when videos have alt text anymore. Is anyone else experiencing this?

The posts and toots in the #fediverse are shown desc by timestamp. On my experience this is the reason why posts are only reacted / getting attention in the first hour or so.

If you have questions for the community are you waiting for a time where more users might be active?
