If you missed our earlier post calling for volunteers, here's the link. We are calling for an email campaign targeting Canadian politicians to convince them to join the Mastodon community and reduce their reliance on U.S. social media platforms.

Hey remember in the late aughts when a weird janky cheerful little program called "Sweet Home 3D" on a Windows XP box was the easiest and funnest way to map out a floor plan of your house and fiddle with furniture arrangement

#ScribesAndMakers 30, Hogwash?
Hogrwæscan, the washing of hogs, was considered an important ritual in the 16th century that asked the god Hogr to bless the harvest. Later, it changed to the value of lovely rain in summer, and it remained a positive concept, up to the time the belief in Hogr was eliminated by the excessive consumption of bacon. Leaving the term to be hijacked by vegans as a slang for those who secretly eat bacon despite claiming to be vegan.
URGENT BEGGING REQUEST
I need £2k to clear my bank overdraft once and for all, which has been called in today.
I have bladder cancer, insufficient mental health to sustain gainful employment, and spiralling debts. I try to live on universal credit, which does not cover my most basic costs of living.
Killing the overdraft will enable me to start anew.

Bless you for anything you can do
Found a strikingly beautiful essay this morning! Went looking for cognizable examples of the idea of an #unborn and #undying realm of #truth and #awareness, that can be explored and trusted at all.

One manual fallback would be monitoring the folder where the d/l file is destined, and refreshing periodically to check the file size. But I'm sure that would be tedious and you've thought of it already.

Related: I just started reading The Inner Clock by Lynne Peeples, all about how our bodies really do need exposure to light at the same time every day, and also need darkness, in order to keep pretty much everything functioning inside us. I'm only a chapter and a half in, but I already think it's really going to change how I use artificial light in my own house...
This year, the solstice will coincide with a new moon. Well, within 2%, close enough for me.
This means our longest night will also be the darkest night. Sounds like the perfect time for some witchcraft!
This won't happen again until 2033, so I'm going to take advantage of it. Being so close to the new year, it feels like the perfect time to banish bad habits or let go of things that aren't working.
Really wish to rejoin the human race at some point. Struggling with unemployment and poverty, car's got further electrical problems I'll have to sort out, back to hospital any time soon for further bladder torture, and how does Buddhism conclude that there's really nothing and that our birth and death are all in the mind? It's all a bit much for me right now!
The continued growth of mastodon.social is putting the #Fediverse in danger (here's why: https://fedi.tips/its-a-really-bad-idea-to-join-a-big-server/).
The quickest, easiest and most effective way to solve this would be if the official apps & website stopped promoting mastodon.social, and instead promoted a rotating selection from a pool of reliable servers with solid track records.

@Bit_form
Hi, may I suggest listing everything you want a home server to do for you, so you've got a list you can gradually tick off? Breaks the problem down into more manageable chunks, which hopefully might help you getting more help. Very best of luck with this.
