#OTD in 1845, 250 veterans of the Battle of Baltimore were honored in Washington DC on the battle’s
31 st anniversary – and they took time to honor their wartime First Lady.

The Weekly National Intelligencer reported that, after marching from the railroad depot to the White
House to meet President James K. Polk, the “Old Defenders of Baltimore ... marched in admirable order
to the residence of the venerable Mrs. Madison, where they saluted that much-respected lady, as she
stood on her front steps, attended by the Mayor and several of her friends in the city.”

Dolley Madison,
by then 77 years old, had become an icon of an earlier time in American history.

10 years ago, teacher Twitter was extremely helpful to me. There's the #teaching hashtag here, which is nice, but are most people still on X? Or worse, Facebook?
Trying to build that side of my timeline back up. Boots appreciated along with recommendations of who to follow.
@brianb@NewScience101@edutooters Facebook has some amazing groups relevant to science, etc. they are more focused. Are you a #tcea member? We have free membership drive in October and that would give you access to TCEA Community which has over 80k educators via Mobilize.io community. Learn more at https://tcea.org
I would like to thank #Romancelandia for all the info on fair use and copyright from a few years back when blogs were getting dinged. My work has us doing a training and my Twitter friends taught me more than my work

Oh how I wish that people would stop using invisible disability and mental health issues when referencing people like Mr. My pillow, and other right wing zealots. It's insulting to an entire community and extremely stereotypical. Just ask Olympic gold winner Simone Biles actress, Emma Stone or millions of others.
The fact that Mike Lindell is a combative right-wing asshole into conspiracy theories, has nothing to do with the rest of that community or with health conditions. It has everything to do with the fact that he's a combative right-wing asshole into conspiracy theories, that supports fascists. It's also extremely ablest.
@serge@histodons@israel@palestine seems like any engagement with @babka.social, a site claiming to be inclusive to all streams and colors of #Judaism, gets you immediately blocked and posts removed (!?!?!) if you self identify as an #ArabJew ... I'm wondering if @babka is an #ADL puppet, payed to increase statistics of so called #antisemitic hate speech. The immediate removal of any interaction not aligning with their world view is interesting.
Robin Jenkins (1912–2005), one of Scotland’s most prolific & acclaimed 20th-century novelists, was born #OTD, 11 Sept. In this paper from 2012, Dr Linden Bicket argues that Jenkins anticipates the urban realist fictions of Galloway, Kelman & Welsh
So I got a warning that nginx proxy manager hadn't been renewing my certificates for a while tonight.
Tried to renew them manually.
It broke, everywhere, badly. Ended up reinstalling from scratch, even on a different machine, but it Would Not Work. Kept throwing internal NPM errors.
Is it currently broken? I've resorted to a manual nginx config for now. but it's not ideal. Anyone else seeing flakiness from nginx proxy manager?
Heh, mine’s not so different, multiple subnets - plus Wireguard :)
I don’t exactly know why but in the end it was definitely a inter-vlan connectivity problem I kept hitting. The pain was trying to prove it out as the official Nginx Proxy Manager container for unraid didn’t include anything like ping / traceroute etc.
I had an issue like this, I actually shelled into the docker container and found that the process to upgrade was running but had stalled. So I killed it and then made a new request and it worked.
Today for #MinCup23 I'm voting ammineite because guano mineral 😆 I got no folklore for it, even though I vaguely remember reading a bat guano folktale at some point... couldn't locate it. Maybe for the next round.
While three men (George S. Key, Henry Jones, and Edward Smith) were initially sentenced to death for murder, their supporters launched a legal challenge to the Guano Act and the jurisdiction of U.S. courts, argued as Jones vs. U.S. before the U.S. Supreme Court and, when that failed, successfully lobbied President Benjamin Harrison to commute the sentences. By that point, the case had achieved such notoriety that he devoted part of his 1891 State of the Union address to defending his decision.
This support came principally from the Black Baltimore community - especially the Grand United Order of Galilean Fishermen and the Mutual United Brotherhood of Liberty.
While successful in saving the men's lives, the commutation of their death sentences to life in prison meant that Key, Jones, and Smith would spend the rest of their lives in hard labor in brutal conditions without labor protections. Just as they had on Navassa.
Any recommendations of streaming app for iphone? I use stremio on all my other devices, and currently just have a tab for movie-web.app on my phone, but looking for a better solution.
