Solar for the win


Winter is fully here in Maryland. The heat pumps have been running continuously for hours. It's 18f outside, and will get much colder with the vortex. 6-8 inches of snow tomorrow will cover the solar, so we'll be operating off our banked kWh with the utility, of which 4MWh remains. Thankful we have that much since I don't expect the solar to melt off for a week or more. If I really had to I guess I could find a teenager to broom off the ground mounts 😆 #solar #winter #renewables #Netmetering

This year I am watching everything in 4k. That's my New Year's resolution!


Ré-entendre Valls dans le poste, je m'y fais pas...
Ça me fera bientôt pareil avec Trump







I’ve been spending more of my free time on RPGs than I have on social media lately. Six of one, half dozen of the other. I’m finding tabletop RPGs and social media to be roughly the same thing: a fake world populated by made-up characters, with the only reliable way to get rid of trolls is to use fire or acid.


Unable to change password


Hello @Ruud! I just recently joined Frendica but unfortunately it won't let me change my default password. The error message is "Login failed" even though I used the same password as the one I logged in with. Is there an issue with the server or am I doing something wrong?

Thanks for any help you can provide!

I figured it out. The email that was sent to me contained whitespace, and the login form strips that so I was able to authenticate, but the same copied password fails when changing passwords in settings. But report is here:

Hello world


I firmly believe that decentralized, noncommercial social media is the only way to go. You can't trust a person who'd get rich off of "connecting people." I already have accounts on a Mastodon platform, Bookwyrm, and Pixelfed. I don't expect all these to last and that's OK. It's a time of upheaval, and a time of experimentation. I'm seriously considering hosting an instance if that's what it takes to get my family off facebook. Anyway, hello everyone. Nice to meet you.



Well fortunately (unfortunately for the rampaging cheeto) is that there are three things not owned by the US and therefor out of his control. The Gulf of Mexico, Panama Canal, and Greenland.


AT FIRST, I THOUGHT THE WHOLE "GULF OF AMERICA" THING WAS JUST AN INTERNET JOKE. BUT NOW, I JUST DON'T GIVE A FUCK. GIVE THE STATUE OF LIBERTY A BOOB JOB. NOTHING MATTERS.



Yet another example of americans terrified by monsters of their own creation.


I talked to CNN's Clare Duffy about what a TikTok ban in the US might actually look like and how it's likely to affect creators and fans.

Seriously, I believe we really need to stop trying to prevent meteors from hitting Earth. Humans have run their course and it is time to etch-a-sketch this motherfucker.


Body of missing Indian journalist found in septic tank


Summary

Indian journalist Mukesh Chandrakar, 32, known for reporting on corruption, was found dead in a septic tank in Chhattisgarh on 3 January after going missing on New Year’s Day.

Police arrested three suspects, including two relatives, while contractor Suresh Chandrakar, a key suspect, is on the run.

Authorities suspect blunt-force trauma, and Chandrakar’s reporting via his YouTube channel Bastar Junction has drawn attention. Local journalists protested, demanding justice and accountability for the killing.

Attacks on journalists in India are common, with 3-4 reporters killed annually for their work, according to Reporters Without Borders.






Introduction - Hello & Welcome


Zuckerberg has now apparently burned the last bridges to the good side of the Force and wants to go to hell together with his rich friends, religious fundamentalists and other Nazis. In the hope that one or two brave souls will make their way out of the meta-molloch and into the fediverse, I am starting an attempt here to make myself findable for them.

There will be a lot of content here about canoeing, geese and other pleasant things and I look forward to a lively exchange.

Hello, I'm here for basically the same reasons. My mom asked me about alternatives to "crackbook" today too.
in reply to Solvei Blue

Hi, yeah, what a bummer. Let's hope for the best. I've been on Mastodon for a long time, but I'm also still on Dings because of all the groups there. But not at this price ...

Franck Brinsolaro, Almed Merabet et Michel Renaud en allant buter à la kalash la rédaction de CNews et de Valeurs Actuelles ?
Vu ce que je lis en commentaires avisés sur l'islamophobie de #CharlieHebdo, qui donc, semble justifier la peine de mort, autant appeler à la poursuite de l'oeuvre salutaire des frères Kouachi !
J'attends avec impatience les commentaires avisés sur le manque de produits hallals et bio à l'Hyper Kacher demain
