So that’s several layers of technology at play. Writing - the representation of language in a form that is interpreted by people of a shared culture- that’s like ~5k years old.

Hey #CoSocialCa:

If you're at all curious in learning how Mastodon works, learning about the tools and tech used by #CoSocialTechops, or how you can help to keep the lights on around here, please join me for a meet-and-greet on Thursday this week.

We'll be live-streaming the upgrade of our Mastodon instance from v4.2.10 to v4.2.12, doing some show-and-tell and Q&A.

Any non-member #MastoAdmin who are interested in helping out are welcome, as well!

Just watched a staggering amount of incredible #breaking

Phil Wizard is a truly phenomenal talent. I can not believe what this guy can do with his body.

@evan it’s still early…

Look all we have to do is make sure he never appears in public for the next four months and this election is in the bag.

Sopwith is 40 years old! I can’t even guess at how many hours I spent playing this when I was a kid.

Intense windstorm overnight. Pleased to discover my yard furniture still in my yard.

The train station in Port Hope, Ontario, was built in 1856 and was refurbished in 1881. It was restored in 1985 and here’s what it looks like today.

No staff on site. If not for the announcement board I might have mistaken it for abandoned.

@boris @virtuous_sloth @coop right.

That server does behave differently than Mastodon, which won’t display the locally-stored version of your profile to non-local users.

That is rather odd. They’re more-or-less indexing the entire Fediverse for public display.

Well, that's a wrap!

I just put up a post looking at some of what the Technology and Operations crew got up to in 2023:

Thanks to all the volunteers who have helped to make our first year a success!

Just out here blastedon #Mastodon.

Going #Running. In shorts. On Christmas morning. In shorts.

I guess this is should seem less odd with every passing year, but it still feels very weird for it to be so warm on Dec 25.

It was DNS.

Just lost #WhamaGeddon2023.

It was a good run this year.

Next year, (to save me from tears,) I will avoid all retail locations for the last two weeks of the year.. 😅

Brands finally starting to get the message.

If you wouldn’t advertise on Parler, Gab or Truth Social, you shouldn’t be advertising on #Twitter.

Some poor kangaroo had the misfortune of getting lost in Ontario in December.

@evan what is something that makes you happy?

May I ask you a question?
