Spannend, den Vergleich Fediverse zu XMPP oder Mail habe ich noch nie gezogen. Vermutlich liegt es daran dass ich heute “nur” noch das Fediverse wirklich auf dem Radar habe. Nirgendwo sonst habe ich über die letzten Jahre so viele tolle Menschen gefunden und mich rege mit ihnen austauschen können, ohne von der Platform selbst dabei angenervt zu werden. Auch nicht im Indieweb. Wobei die Grenzen hier zusehens verschwimmen, wenn mehr und mehr Blogs eben Webmentions _und_ ActivityPub sprechen. Warum auch nicht? (Und mit Webmention Support wäre dieses Kommentar auch nicht nur ein oller Trackback für Dirk ;-))

Got an ad: “Onl1ne dat1ng 0ver 70”. Oh that one hurt. What else, Google? 🤣

The only "interaction", beside some thumbs up from RL friends, I get on FB nowadays is the occasion follow request by a pr0n bot. And the subsequent notice by FB to NOT take action against such fake profiles. Think the time is right to really ditch FB for good. Reduced it’s usage to almost null anyway (and that was hard 😭). Shame I’ll loose access to some subcultures like most of the LARP or HEMA scenes. Both seem to be unwilling to move on.

Meh, good enough. Finished another #joyweiler 😀 https://gitlab.com/edge-records/joyweiler A retro arcade Joystick that has both a D Sub 9 pin plug to connect to period hardware like C64 or Amiga, and via USB to modern hardware, to be used with Emulators like Vice or FS-UAE. (It even works 😅)

Woah, dad went through old stuff in the basement and packed all the old electronics I played and learned with as a kid. Just look at this stash 😍

Thanks to #FlightGear I’m very confident that I am now capable of crashing a Cessna just about anywhere.

TIL: There is a whole birb music scene I didn’t know about and it’s freakin adorable – for example Stairway to Heaven (UNCAGED): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P9xaikDoY2I

Built me a head tracking device and it worked way too good. So much fun and the night is basically over. I’ll be so sorry later but it was totally worth it 👌

Wohoo, another upgrade for my man cave. The upcycled lamp post is complemented with some old tent pole strapped to a table leg with zip ties. Can even move it freely 🙌
