 I wrote 1,025 words about #Bluesky but of course only one quote actually made it to the article. Oh well "Twitter and Facebook Want to Shift Power to Users. Or Do They?" https://www.nytimes.com/2019/12/18/technology/facebook-twitter-bitcoin-blockchain.html Thousands of students in Germany queue for email access "Some 38,000 students in Germany have been asked to queue in person for a new email password, after their university was hit by a cyber-attack" https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-50838673 The state of German IT...  @Gargron By the way if you're gonna talk about the new Star Wars don't forget to click on the "CW" button and say so. No spoiling people. @Gargron I never thought one could use the CW tag as a spoiler tag, thanks for that one  I have an odd relationship to Star Wars because I like it and I'm somewhat invested in the lore but also feel no particular desire to rewatch the movies. But if I was rewatching any Star Wars movies it would be the prequels We're in the middle of Episode 2 right now, but only because my daughter wanted to. I still can't get into them, but the Clone Wars cartoon series helps and is full of great moments. I think a lot of our perception depends on our age when the movies came out. Born in 1978, I love the original trilogy but ROTJ is my favorite. @Gargron My daughter enjoys them and we're going on a date over the holidays to see the new one. We'll probably sit down over a few days and watch all the older ones too @Gargron always love to see low-level boss Snokes appear again as mob enemies later in the game to save on resources  It has taken almost 30 days to cancel my NordVPN account (wanted to give it a go after PIA was acquired). Can not recommend.

@Gargron Mullvad is pretty good. Pay for how many months you need in advance or pay per month if you like. $5 a pop either way.  The weird thing is that I am not a *fan* of Mastodon (the band). They have some really good songs but if I was naming my software after bands I was a fan of you'd much sooner see Tesseract

Just thinking about how there's a special scientific word for the process of creatures evolving into a crab-like form because apparently that's a thing that happens

Just to give an update on the Wasabi ➡️ Exoscale storage migration, so far fixed permissions on 3,204,000 media attachments, still going (there are 17,818,406 in total). Until this completes, some older images and videos may be inaccessible. Really sorry about this. A message to Exoscale: For the love of god, implement bucket policies...

@Gargron What benefits do you expect from Exoscale over Wasabi? Asking for a friend. (I'm not really I'm asking for myself) I think if I got to ride Athens public transport just a few more days I would have gotten the hang of reading capital-letter Greek and I'm a bit sad I didn't get to Can someone explain to me which light bulb color temperature is like... the good one. For mental health and cozyness. I see there's 2600K, 3000K, and even 5600K...

@Gargron Blue light can help with depression and make you more alert or awake. Sunlight level light (probably don't want too much UV though) is good for seasonal depression. Warm light is good for relaxation and sleep. @Gargron Blue light (~5500) can help with depression and make you more alert or awake. Bluer light (>6500) is good for seasonal depression during a low-light winter. Warm light (~3000) is good for relaxation and sleep. @Gargron Blue light (~5500) can help with depression and make you more alert or awake, though it can make you more anxious.

Suppose things might have influenced each other, but don't really see this connection this way?
