I saw a quote, as I do every year, from @neilhimself and then remembered he had expanded on it. These are good thoughts in hard times to take forward into the new year.

Saturday, December 31, 2011 My New Year Wish Posted by Neil Gaiman at 8:58 AM A decade ago, I wrote: [Edit for character count see first quote] And almost half a decade ago I said, ...l hope you will have a wonderful year, that you'll dream dangerously and outrageously, that you'll make something that didn't exist before you made it, that you will be loved and that you will be liked, and that you will have people to love and to like in return. And, most importantly (because I think there should be more kindness and more wisdom in the world right now), that you will, when you need to be, be wise, and that you will always be kind. And for this year, my wish for each of us is small and very simple. And it's this. I hope that in this year to come, you make mistakes. Because if you are making mistakes, then you are making new things, trying new things, learning, Living, pushing yourself, changing yourself, changing your world. You're doing things you've never done before, and more importantly, you're Doing Something. So that's my wish for you, and all of us, and my wish for myself. Make New Mistakes. Make glorious, amazing mistakes. Make mistakes nobody's ever made before. Don't freeze, don't stop, don't worry that it isn't good enough, or it isn't perfect, whatever it is: art, or love, or work or family or life. Whatever it is you're scared of doing, Do it. Make your mistakes, next year and forever.

@medievalists This is a great intro to the household accounts of the , & to Jennifer Ward's translations & overview.

🙏 for mentioning the biography by Frances A. Underhill, 'For Her Good Estate'. I edited the expanded 2nd edition. The booksite at https://barnes1.net/FHGE/ includes a resource page with many free downloads, & an account of the Lady's insistence on choral music at . Book sales support this! the hardback more so.

Which flavor of is inability to feel belonging to any group? I think, I finally got why I don’t get that thing. Basically, a gender is just another cohort, with some assumed properties. A group one feels belonging to. And I have never felt as a part of any group. I never fit in. Each cohort is supposed to have certain properties, and I just never have all. I just feel like impostor in any, including any gender/sexuality groups, including

@btaroli @actuallyautistic @olena I just had a flash of an image of being able to interact with everyone primarily with ZERO sexual-orientation baggage and just as individuals and then seeing how that soul connection does or doesn’t develop on its own before even getting to the intimate options…and that image felt wonderful ❤️

@GinevraCat @btaroli @actuallyautistic actually, yes! When I got to the parts with them, I was like ‘why is it even supposed to be funny? They are the ones reasonable here’

@justin

Thank you for the interest. I will start adding screenshots in the new year, very soon. I have taken several, but I still need to decide which ones to use and how I'm going to organize them.

user0 OP ,

@justin

I had added lots of screenshots, but the repo ballooned in size and took too long to clone. So I completely removed all screenshots and opted instead to link a screenshot that I posted to the Purism forums. I may add some more in the future, but I don't want to clutter the README.md with too many images. Sorry if that's a let-down.

sj_zero , to selfhosted

Anyone who knows me knows that I've been using next cloud forever, and I fully endorse anyone doing any level of self hosting should have their own. It's just a self-hosted Swiss army knife, and I personally find it even easier to use than something like SharePoint.

I had a recurring issue where my logs would show "MYSQL server has gone away". It generally wasn't doing anything, but occasionally would cause large large file uploads to fail or other random failures that would stop quickly after.

The only thing I did is I went in and doubled wait_timeout in my /etc/mysql/mariadb.conf.d/50-server.cnf

After that, my larger file uploads went through properly.

It might not be the best solution but it did work so I figured I'd share.

Here’s a cool article I found on Nextcloud performance improvements, and connecting Redis over Unix sockets gave me a more substantial performance improvement than migrating to Postgres. Very happy I fell down this rabbit hole today.

To note if you’re following the tutorial in the link above, and for people using the nextcloud:stable container together with the recommended cron container:

  • the redis configuration (host, port, password, …) need to be set in config/config.php, as well as config/redis.config.php
  • the cron container needs to receive the same /etc/localtime and /etc/timezone volumes the app container did, as well as the volumes_from: tmp

Thank you for the link and the Redis pointers. I should double check that my Nextcloud setup is using Redis, it might well be misconfigured.

Wondering why we didn’t have an automated landing post? We need more coverage in Mexico and specifically Cabo San Lucas. If you live here please feed TheAirTraffic ADSB data. Contact @JxckS for a feeder.

The real winner this year is Supermicro. Don’t believe me? Go look at their stock gains. Literally powering everything behind the shiny, cool stuff.

Adolf Hitler got a lot of his racist ideas from America, so it was the old USA that was the inspiration for actual Nazism...

@microblogc @DamienMarieAtHope hence Conquistadors killed for greed and power. A Calvinist can kill for pleasure without guilt or remorse. They are the perfect capitalists, and explains much about modern Capitalism emerging out of Calvinism, too...

@gnutelephony @microblogc @DamienMarieAtHope That’s not how Calvinism worked in the Americas. Not disputing the genocide, but the specific doctrinal mechanisms. See Benjamin Schmidt, Innocence Abroad: The Dutch Imagination and the New World. Joyce Chaplin, Subject Matter: Technology, the Body and Science on the Anglo-American Frontier, and Mark Valeri, Heavenly Merchandize: How Religion Shaped Commerce in Puritan America. @histodons
