Dear fedi people, maybe it’s the heat or the stress or Slop or the world itself, but the timeline is transforming into a twitter/X/F(ck)B like social meltdown, that is disproportionally negative and depressing. The planet still turns round. Bad news and indignation and awareness to madness happening in the world are legitimate. But it’s okay to take a breath and think of the positive things around us, once we take our noses off the screens. The internet feeds on our despair at a time where we just need memes and some silly thoughts. The slop, and gigallionaires and media can wait. They don’t deserve your immediate attention. They don’t deserve our permanent and continuous anger. Those who can’t rest can’t fight (and life shouldn’t be a permanent fight). Spend some time with your loved ones, have sex, hug a tree, make music, invite your neighbour for an aperitivo, cook a meal… Read a book that has no triggers in it, or a dozen. It’s hard at first but worth it. Or chill for 1 hour. Worst case scenario, if you really feel bad, find an old computer and set up a fresh Debian install. It will be a breeze and an opportunity to re-enjoy the wonders of compute. All problems will one “sudo apt” away from being solved. If you play life in hard mode set up a BSD or Arch box… or build your own OS (depends on your orientations). The most important point is enjoying yourself… at the speed of your processor (if you are into this kind of shit). #hugyourcomputer I found the picture below. I can’t go to the beach everyday. But it’s fine.

Call for graphic artists, comics drawers and designers: At work we manage a small clothing brand where we can print and produce t-shirts, hoodies and accessories for a marginal price. Our focus so far was to set up the shop in a robust way, find the best suppliers available and guarantee a top notch supply chain from print to delivery (to your door), while solely relying on Print On Demand to avoid having waste products nor storage costs. So far we’ve managed to deliver on all these points + worked with great but very few (4/5) artists and designers to bring to life some comics characters, and curate the designs to a T. Our first collab artists were from places as far away as Australia or Latin America. There is no specific theme, but for our previous releases we did get inspired by technology, cyberspace, or mythology and handmade techniques. We also work closely with electronic music artists and creative people from the music scene. Now we can and will focus on design, and I’d love to collaborate with fedi artists, as there are plenty of talented people around here. If you have some cool artowrks that you would like to see printed in high quality garments, get in touch…

@david_chisnall@infosec.exchange @briankrebs@infosec.exchange Bitcoin is not a bank. It’s closer to string of characters, glued together with some code.

@studiofox@beige.party Until it becomes a benchmark. No dishes = Good

@jt_rebelo @mntmn Checks out. I do not know what I am talking about.

@mntmn It’s never “Lets. Always “Let’s”. English is my nth language, so I probably don’t know what I’m talking about.

@mattblaze Beautiful shot.

Attention Fedizens! It is #bandcampfriday My latest album is available for pre-order on BC, and it’s an EP of bass and techno bangers. Link: https://xtns.bandcamp.com The covert art was made with Hydra, shout out to the code ravers. You will find sounds from Soma Lab machines, and more percussive elements carefully crafted to make you dance, dance, dance… Thank you for your attention, and for those who pre-order the album. You can proceed now.

@troed@swecyb.com @briankrebs@infosec.exchange There are 999,999 permutations to brute force over 30 seconds. It’s probably possible on ASICS, or is it old school?

@matt@toot.cafe what is Orca? If you could add a link, it will be much appreciated.

@matt@toot.cafe thanks
