A partial lunar eclipse is when the moon partially disappears behind a cloud, right?


Here's the "origin story" of Roxy Furman. She's a zoologist who makes the most gorgeous wildlife documentaries.

Came across a clip on the BBC that said that the new Doctor Who series will start 12 April. That will be S2 of the re-re-boot I guess.

Got a notification from my NAS, saying it's running low on disk space. It says it has only 3.5 TB left.

(Yet weirdly Windows also refuses to copy all of today's photos onto it, saying I need to free another 10GB.)

There's a mismatch of disk sizes, though. Come to think of it, that disparity is about 3.5 TB.



Upgraded my Pleroma to version 2.9.0, that came just out today. Or actually yesterday by now, because it took longer than expected. Maybe I missed some versions, but for me the upgrade was not as simple as suggested.

In this version I also needed to upgrade to a newer Elixir version. And there were also some migrations still to run. Upgrading Elixir turned out to not be possible on an old Debian server, so I needed to switch over to using asdf to get the newer version; but that doesn't work nicely with the systemd service file... I have to figure a better solution for that later, it is late, now I have just hardcoded the paths.

Why?

Like?
> Well, some people think it means "make available in exchange for something of value"
That's exactly what I think it means.

So, that's what you've been doing?

well Mozilla has blinked

Still seems probably problematic, and to be clear, once you're dead to me, you're dead to me.




So far came across these:

  • Gulf of West Russia
  • Gulf of Moscow

Using the key emoji because she used to do that herself, referring to her most famous role.




It's just chocolate sprinkles... I don't get why foreign journalists are so obsessed by it that they write this whole BBC article about us eating hagelslag on a sandwich. I had it today...

Birds are weird...

...or when you need a wide angle lens for bird photography.

Roxy Furman made this beautiful film of her encountering pelicans and includes some incredible photos.

Buzzards (I presume) seen from my balcony. The local newspaper in Best had just printed an article that they were spotted in town and they were not wrong. I think I saw four flying together over my flat, I don't know whether that's normal behaviour.

The Windows Experience is it showing you a screen waiting for your input but when you actually try to provide that input it is like 'hang on, I wasn't ready for that'.


This article talks about Tumblr moving to WordPress and supporting Activitypub:

techcrunch.com/2025/02/11/tumb…

But, given that Tumblr has a history of breaking all kinds of stuff in various novel ways, I have just one question: what will they break this time, Tumblr, WordPress, or Activitypub?



Looks like the new US government found out this is still an issue with this year's theme... But they don't check these things beforehand...


My understanding of WordPress must be missing something.

There's this default theme 'twenty twenty four'. When you activate it, it inserts various hardcoded texts into your site. Things like "my book Money Studies is out now" and "I'm Leia Acosta, a passionate photographer". You have to use the site editor to find these and remove them. There are about four.

You have to do this on your live site, you can't customise a theme and preview it before activating, like you used to be able to. If you don't find them all, or ever did "Remove Customisations", you're site will say stuff like "A commitment to innovation and sustainability", without you knowing it.

So what if you're not called "Leia Acosta"? Or you don't have a book out called "Money Studies"? How did they think this was going to work?
