You fool! You fell victim to one of the classic blunders, the most famous of which is “Never get involved in a land war in Asia.” But only slightly less well-known is this: “Never mention dissatisfaction with a Microsoft or Apple product on Mastodon if you aren’t prepared to switch to Linux!”

It's our Alonsoversary !

For a year now, this little dog has been turning our life upside down in the best of ways with his regular visits, and, so you've told us, putting smiles on the faces of folks on the Fediverse from around the World.

It has been a helluva year, but Alonso has made it bearable. Alonso doesn't read the news, but he can tell when we have.

Alonso reminds us that no matter how small or unimportant you think you are, you can make a meaningful difference.

In case you missed it, Owls in Towels has a new home on Mastodon https://mas.to/@owlsintowels

We share pictures of owls (in towels) and stories of wildlife rehabilitation.

Followers on the old instance will need to manually re-follow (since the server hosting us shut down before we had a chance to migrate, and we had to start afresh). It would be a tremendous help if you could boost this or tell someone you know about Owls in Towels! Thank you for your continued viewership and engagement 💛🦉

I feel like this is the place to ask, what is the best option for self hosted storage that will give me a roughly G Drive / G Photos solution?

One of my devs wrote about goings on in the Kerberos world and one of more recent sources of pain and suffering therein.

Good read.

What's the deal with Kerb3961? | Microsoft Community Hub

Howdy, everyone! I wanted to write this blog post to discuss the new Kerb3961 library introduced in Windows Server 2025 / Windows 11 24H2. It is (hopefully)...

@emaytch Think it was Purdue and Back a Boiler. Looks like it was killed because people viewed it as a loan and not the college making an investment and it bothered people that "percentage of your income" does mean you'll pay back more than your tuition if you're wildly successful.
@emaytch I don't remember where off the top of my head, but I've heard of a college running a system where you sign a contract that you pay back your loan by paying a certain percentage of your income above a certain threshold? And if you don't hit that threshold, you don't pay.
