Broadstairs in the fog

A couple of weeks back, I found myself in Broadstairs with my camera on a foggy day. Here are some of the photos that I took.

You can find more of my photos here.

The large white building in these photos is Pierremont Hall in Broadstairs (Kent). It was built in 1785 for Thomas Forsyth by the famous architect Samuel Pepys Cockerell. Today, Pierremont Hall is listed on the English Heritage Register. In 1927, it was sold to the Urban District Council and is still operated by the local council to this day.

I’m curious…

How many of my fellow weirdos know how to handle this fellow:

This is peak malicious compliance and I love it

Friendly reminder: last year I built FediMod FIRES, a protocol and reference server implementation for sharing moderation data.

I haven't yet been able to get anyone to adopt it or even signal intent to adopt. But regularly I see people complaining about the lack of data sharing when it comes to moderation, especially for combating spam, scams, and harassment. The tool is there, please use it!

Whilst I'm not actively working on FediMod FIRES this quarter, I did apply in November for a grant to continue that work, and last I heard a few weeks ago is that the grant made it to the next stage, so I may have some money again to fund development.

It's not 1.0.0 yet, because I decided it needed more work for me to be happy to call it that, but it is usable!

Installation is also super simple for data producers, literally two commands on debian or ubuntu boxes.
