which of these do you think is the least bad as a failsafe power source in a small minimal computing/"solarpunk" electronics project? (the project is entirely solar powered otherwise; I just need a backup power source for the real-time clock chip. i've ruled out rechargeable batteries and supercapacitors for this purpose)
two alkaline button cells (LR44)

one lithium coin cell (CR2032 or similar)

two AAAs

something else?

Tokugawa Ieyasu was the final winner of Japan’s 136-year Sengoku era battle royale. His ascension to Shogun at the start of the 17th century marked the beginning of the Edo period: ~250 years of relative peace, stability and, a flowering of art and culture. He was laid to rest in a mausoleum in Kunōzan. This is not that tomb. Later Tokugawa descendants (falsely) claimed to have moved Ieyasu’s remains to this tomb at Nikkō Shrine, a more prestigious location.

I'm mostly tooting over at @xantha now. I know a lot of instances defed from mastodon.social (even before the great migration) so I was planning to move but didn't until I had a community reason to. 💕 my original octodon account got zapped I think.

Are there any stable instances catering to #makers / #crafters / #artists that are accepting new people? Trying to figure out where to send people that want to sign up. #meta

I have had three or four accounts on mastodon/hometown instances since 2017(?) and I generally taper off using one and move to the next. 😂 and looks like I'm in the process of doing that again.

So if any server admin types are interested, it should be pretty easy* to run an instance of my RSS to ActivityPub converter as a nice bonus for your users. It lets people with a login on your Mastodon or Hometown server create ActivityPub accounts that are mirrors of RSS feeds (process pictured in attachments). ONLY people with a login to your server can use it, because you don't want to moderate this service for randos

*easy for linux server administration, huge lmao

A company sent me a survey to ask what kinds of emails I wanted from them during the winter holiday season. I've never seen this and it's interesting to me. this was from Yolélé who sell fonio and other African products.

I have posted a very detailed write-up of my Game Boy Pocket SP mod, including details on design process and fabrication. I also included instructions on how to replicate the build yourself! https://posts.decontextualize.com/pocket-sp/
