Random thought — I have a tight-knit #Ukraine support group which is a band of my friends and me. My friends also contribute to other groups, so do I. There are amazing humans like @EugeneMcParland on mastodon with whom I'm only acquainted here, but we don't live that far from each other.
Question: if all of us will try to get together after the victory of #Ukraine, how large of a venue will we have to book? Where would be the "center of mass" of such gathering?
I love this review of Xanthippe's Last Night wist Socrates, which has just now been put on the IFDB:

Please watch this! Not only #Russia is our enemy, never forget about it.
Stay focused. We’ve known for 4 years that, short of death, Trump would be the Republicans’ nominee in 2024. The margin of his wins in Republican primaries and caucuses makes no difference, whatever the headlines and pundits say. We will have to fight using what we have, which will be - again, short of death - be Biden at the top of the Democratic ticket, and all the down ballot Democrats across the country. Every last one of them should make it clear that constitutional democracy is at stake.
I sometimes want to kill or otherwise facilitate death of russians.
Any russians, to be honest. The level of animosity is comparable to the level of animosity my guerilla-fighter ancestors felt towards germans and romanians.
The funny thing is that russans dying is not at odds with putin's plan. It's hard to figure out what to do... I may or may not have been engaged in direct action last year and it may or may not had felt way better than how I feel now, where I don't have an outlet.
Maybe some of my followers have some intel projects that need some automation, data processing, data cleaning or some social engineering projects where a person fluent in russian can help?

I use flakes for my #NixOS configs. Sadly Hydra doesn't support updating inputs of flakes. I hacked up flake-compat to allow Hydra to supply the inputs: https://github.com/edolstra/flake-compat/commit/9de0587e74d16c450bb7fc8779b597d92ed0ef83
Now I have daily builds of my systems!
Today, I have 9 years of sobriety from alcohol. Without the support of my mum and sister, the recovery center and the various meetings and various groups I've attended over the years, I would not be alive today.
If you know someone suffering from an addiction of any sort, please, offer compassion and support, not condemnation. Even the strongest and wisest can fall prey to addiction. A little kindness can go a long way.
2022 feels like it was a hundred years ago, but it also feels like yesterday.
When they say that there are moments that split life into "before" and "after", they fail to mention that while you're on the "after" side, it sort of all mashes together into one long nightmare.
I am certain that freedom will win and the evil shall be crushed.
Hmm @timClicks, do you take suggestions for video topics? The only thing that prevents me from writing #rustlang exclusively and the reason why I keep reaching for #elixir is fault tolerance and capability of doing offensive programming. See an explanation with some code snippets in my talk[1].
Is there something similar for Rust? How would one approach building "FT Rust"?
Lol, #Cloudflare is serving #russian propaganda machine. Who could have thought. I hope they at least MITM the fuckers 🤞
@jonn @luckytran I totally understand the frustration of local shops ditching good options and not entirely trusting Amazon due to counterfeit concerns.
Fortunately, the UK has an excellent online resource:

They even stock my top pick respirator - the Dräger 1920 FFP2/1950 N95:

(Unfortunately, the Small is out of stock.)
Of course they also have the ever popular 3M Aura:

(Plus several other varieties of Aura.)
