Posted a few photos of the flowers on the fruit trees in the garden https://flic.kr/p/Sdf7F8 Taken this morning. !grow

Weeguy just found out he was going away and he’s hyper. Managed to keep it quiet from him and managed to get to his swimming lessons beforehand. We’re in the queue for the ferry just now and he can’t wait, lovely to see him this happy #HappyTimes :)

@lambadalambda This was also why #Identica was such a central part of the network while it was part of our network. Federation is the central advantage and disadvantage of our sites, so we need to make sure that everyone knows about it.

TL;DR: Promote the OStatus federation over $SITE or even $SOFTWARE and we’ll all benefit.

Having spent most of the day in the garden, it’s a Chinese takeaway for dinner. Good evening !fediverse and !tzag to all.

The LastPass stuff is interesting but I have no skin in the game. KeePassX with an offline database has been serving me well for years. Sure I have to type out passwords into mobile devices but with simplicity comes security.

We have one income in our household (mine) and right now it’s been really tough, due to huge dentist bills and other things like that, and today to top it all off the washing machine broke and its too old to get a replacement \ fix for free.
So Marlyn revealed to me today that shes been secretly putting away cash every week when she goes shopping groceries,
I noticed the grocery budget has been a bit higher then usual since this summer, but I tought it was just that food was more expensive lol. so it was more then enough for us to now buy a new washing machine.
That was a burden off my shoulders, and I’m so happy she did that.

Yesterday at the @fsf‘s office I met a fine gentleman who was helping me prepare name tags / lanyards for the conference. He was modest enough that I feel like I only got information out of him by asking the right questions, and because I inquired about how close he and rms were (Richard had come into the office and asked him to do lunch/dinner some time).

That person was Alexandre Oliva, and tonight rms presented him with the annual award for the Advancement of Free Software. He was brought to tears, and expressed that he was glad to know that he made a difference. I wish I remembered his words directly—-he stated that he wasn’t sure if he had made a difference. It was hard not to share emotion with him. Richard had to ask the audience to stop their standing ovation so that Alex could continue talking.

Yesterday I mentioned that one of the biggest things missing with online communities is small talk—-those random encounters that might only last moments, but yield relationships that are otherwise unlikely. This is an excellent example; I may have otherwise never gotten to know him. I’ve gotten to know many others here well, and everyone has had interesting stories to tell, big or small, free software hacker or not.

@chalkahlom I need to get my sweet potatoes and yellow potatoes planted! Beautiful pictures you have there.

@hobbsc That reminds me: I keep meaning to install Stellarium for #son1 to play around with. That’s my task for this evening sorted out.

The most important thing mastodon users need to realize is that you don’t need to be on mastodon.social to be part of the network. Mastodon is just one server in the larger federation.

Another warm sunny spring day in Budapest

Kind of hoping more folks set up their own Mastodon / GNU Social instances. Kind of reminds me of the old dial-up BBS days with FidoNet
