I bet my fiancée that this picture of our cats could get 10 billion boosts on Mastodon.
She said she doesn't believe me. She said there's only 13 million accounts on Mastodon. She said there aren't even 10 billion people on Earth. She said it concerns her that I struggle so hard to comprehend large numbers.
Let's prove her wrong everyone. Boost away and show her just how awesome the Mastodon community is.
one of my tiniest pet peeves about the minecraft ecosystem: all the server modpacks are good about providing shellscripts to easily setup and run the headless server.
except they're always distributed as zip files, since they're used on windows too (just with .bat files)
zip files don't mark the .sh files as executable. you have to do it manually like a caveman
So, about that attack novel that I've been chewing on since April? The Harry Harrison Stainless Steel Rat tribute yarn?
Here's a taster. (See alt-text for contents.)
It's time for another electric vehicle charging video.
Too many people believe EV charging solutions require expensive, huge electric circuits (or worse: service upgrades).
The really high-power ones people tend to go with can be a headache, but there are many other options!
Official server migration time and date set, here we goooooo

The 70 Billion Low Quality Facts Boost,
Where are they hiding?
Innumerate mouth breathers will be the reason our grandchildren consider cats a food group. I'ma callin' it.
It is a little-known fact that a BILLION is a thousand Millions. (that's— 1/10% —NOT 1%)
People who argue about the significance of statistics often get this wrong.
10 billion is THIRTY times the population of the U.S.
If your fiance marries you, they are a fool. But I suspect you knew that.
Is our little blue marble of a planet actually a lot more crowded than we thought? A new study suggests we've been significantly undercounting populations in rural areas, because of the grid-based method typically used to count people.
We’ve got this 💪
Here’s xkcd on comprehending gigantic numbers:
I’ve got to remember what little C I once knew, get used to my new Linux os again after 10 years away from it and perhaps re-learn a little BASH scripting, and the I’m gunna hack your instance to give you 54 billion-squillion boosts!
Just you wait and see!! 🤣🧐🧐👍👍
Wasn't there a Mastodon account with the display name "10 billion", so that with a couple of carefully timed boosts you could see
10 billion and 8 others favorited your post
Yeah. It's fine this time.
Usually- I am a dog person, but hey ... Like the email virus where the developer, confessing his incapability, asked for manual distribution of his mail 🤣
Boosting to affirm the awesomeness of those cats and that they deserve millions and billions and trillions of boosts.
