Handy guide for April 8 I learned from an astronomer once upon a time:

β˜€οΈ β€” πŸŒ™ β€” 🌎 = Solar Eclipse

β˜€οΈ β€” 🌎 β€” πŸŒ™ = Lunar Eclipse

🌎 β€” β˜€οΈ β€” πŸŒ™ = Apocalypse

Enjoy! And wear your safety glasses, especially in case of apocalypse!

I’m reading up on this XZ security issue. Does it affect the XZ80 and XZ81 or is it only the XZ Spectrum that’s at risk?
Één opgave volledig opgelost (4), één opgave drie van de vier deelopgaven opgelost (1a, 1b, 1c). Gaat beter dan de meeste jaren! #AIVDKerstpuzzel
Played around with #c2rust to translate gwsh (a shell, a descendant from dash) from #c to #rust. Although I encountered two bugs, duly reported, where the generated code was incorrect, they required only small modifications, and after that, its translation of the shell was able to build successfully and pass all the tests I could think to throw at it.
"When did you last access the internet for any purpose (i.e. for work/leisure etc.), from any device and from any location?" is an interesting survey question for a survey taken over the Internet. #YouGov

what the fuck

While following a lot of people can populate your Home feed significantly, sometimes people (like me) end up boosting a lot and that can unexpectedly hinder your own experience.

So if you like someone's specific posts and don't want to follow their boosts, you can go to their profile under the [...] button, and select the "Hide boosts from account" button.

There is no algorithm on Mastodon. You have ownership and control over every filtering decision instead of some robot.
