Unsettled weather makes for pretty MODIS scenes the past few days!
Isn't working openly with change-tracking great! You really get a sense for what the author cares about.
Full change set here - https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Lee_Vandervis&type=revision&diff=1085164481&oldid=1084746016
The start of Lee Vandervis's changeset on his own Wikipedia page (his changes on the left):
So freaking beautiful 😍
QT five15design: Oh my days!

RT polemic: Remember kids, the key to investing is diversification.
Ghost is pretty neat for a self-hosted Medium alternative. More info at: https://ghost.org and self-hosting with Docker instructions at: https://hub.docker.com/_/ghost/ Don't have a live site yet, but this feels like I might really enjoy using it for long-form writing.
Mr 13 isn't a huge fan of writing assignments, but sprinkle in z->s, ton vs. tonne and all the little differences and he throws his hands up even more. Gotta help him accept that the English language is a bit of a dumpster fire at times.
Hey @brianboyer, what's your tweet/tooting syndication setup?

Quantum computers were a good idea, until they introduced branch prediction, which, like traditional computers it didn't predict so much as run all possibilities in parallel and take the actual one.
However, unlike traditional computers, the quantum ones created alternative realities with each branch, taking the "real" one once the states coalesced.
Alternate program execution realities weren't the issue either. That is, until the darkest of those timelines learned how to inject malicious code into the others.
Last night I migrated this Mastodon node to a more cost-effective hosting platform and Dockerized it. Figured out you can exclude the `system/cache` folder from backups as well to save on space. Just have to use a tootctl command to resotre them later https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/16641 in the event of a backup restore. How big is your `cache` directory @lightweight
Welcome to the monogram.org server @brianboyer! Glad to have you here to help knock some cobwebs off the ol' domain.
NFTs aren't trading so well anymore.
*sarcastic tone* Who could have predicted this? 🤷♂️

Love looking at old maps. This one from the British Museum (via unspalash) showing indigenous tribes of North America #cartography
Way back in 1999, the late Donella Meadows wrote a wonderful essay "Leverage Points: Places to intervene in systesm". IMO this is a MUST READ for anyone who's tried to bring about change in complex systems or organizations. As a bit of a marketing tool for the paper and the 12 places mentioned in it, I've created a diagram of these 12 leverage points, 12 being the easiest to bring about, 1 (paradigms) being the most difficult to change.

Cloud free composite made from all the April scenes. This is a bit of a quick and dirty compositing method, described in the "quantile method" within the Python code in this gist: https://gist.github.com/jduckles/19808d305877b7cf29810ffb275785fa

Blah-blah #fediverse
A few weeks ago I ditched linked in, my searching goes through #duckduckgo, facebook and instagram are gone, there are a few mailing lists going in the bin daily.
Participating online with mastodon (or other #federated social software) and #gemini remind me of how the web used to be when I got my first computer in the 90s.
I say participating because here we're not trying to sell and buy, there's something more profound. We're sharing ourselves, memories, thoughts, imaginary personas, fantasies, stories, recipes...
Because we have an urge to socialize as humans. I imagine a better web is coming from this, where we're kinder and more respectful to each other.
Well that was fun, tried to upgrade Mastodon and broke the world. I now know heaps more about how it all works, rails, yarn, postgresql oh my! Also: life is pain.
Hello there Aotearoa, looking gorgeous this past Saturday from high above.
Having a go at reviving monogram.org as a mastadon server per @brianboyer suggestion. What would it be without 
and X-Ray 
emojis?
