“Houston, we have a new record 🌎
On Saturday Nov. 26, at 8:40 a.m. ET, @NASA_Orion broke the record for the farthest distance traveled from Earth of a human-rated spacecraft. The record was previously held by Apollo 13 at 248,655 statute miles from Earth. Go Artemis!” - @nasa_johnson.
Reflections after 24 hours on #Mastodon... It's so chill. I didn't really recognize what the onslaught of incessant advertising was ruining the social network experience. It's *so refreshing* to come here and just see measured and meaningful conversations. I also see plenty of reflections by users that this is not a universal experience, so maybe it has something to do with me running my own server and really only seeing content from people I follow. But so far, its a breath of fresh air.
Since my once beloved doomscrolling site has been pivoted to an all-out shitposting service by new mgmt, I wrote about starting my own #Mastodon instance for #TechPolicyPress

I have a whole blog post in my head I may write if I find the motivation. Traditional API Gateways are becoming commodity. Innovation can happen on the experiences, modernizing both dev and ops. WebAssembly, edge deployments, remote debugging, GitOps, local stacks—oh my! But does this change have commercial opportunity for non-utility companies? Underlying it all… Do I really want to build another gateway in my career?
On a related PSA we need to ensure we fill in emergency contacts and medical information on our smart phones! 🙂
As you may know modern iOS and Android has this options built-in and can be vital in an emergency

Let's get everyone setting this up! Friends and family also 🙂👍
You and I and everyone here are part of the first 10 million people on the fediverse.
We are setting the cultural and technical norms for the next few decades.
So if there's something you wish Mastodon did, or ActivityPub did, just start acting like it already exists.
If enough people want it or need it, it will get added by the software and protocols later.
Completing my out with the old, in with the gnu(-ish) campaign today.
HP printer with smart ink->Brother with dumb ink
United Charger smart EVSE->Siemens stupid EVSE
Psycho crazypants Twitter in Silicon Valley->My own Mastodon instance out in the woods
1password my passwords as their service->Strongbox on a KeePass file
I feel much healthier already. It's all about your diet.
Amnesia
I was listening to a podcast & they remarked that they had never known a person who had amnesia. When I was 9 years old, I woke up in a bed. My arms & legs were tied down & my eyes were covered. I thought I had been kidnapped. I tried not to move much or alert my captors, but I struggled to get free. A nurse came in. They didn’t want me to thrash or touch my face. I’d been in a car accident & hit the dashboard. No seatbelt. I didn’t remember the crash or weeks before. I never remembered.
So, just wondering; who were the first ones against the wall when the revolution came?

Or: Is the real revolution yet to come?
I published a new video book on #NES programming & 6502 #Assembly.
If you want to learn NES programming & learn a lot about retro computer architecture, then you should definitely check it out!
The "Nintendinho" was my first game console, so I put a lot of love into this course. ❤️

See you inside! 🧉😉
"The most important thing about this amazing Paris transformation is how fast it happened — how fast people on bikes “appeared” — once streets were transformed.
You can’t write this off as “Paris was always this way,” because it wasn’t.
It took leadership."
