Trying Whalebird to see if I prefer it to just using the web interface. Remains to be seen. I think I'd prefer to have an IRC like interface, where toots stream by and I have a text bar down at the bottom where I can toot at any time without special commands.

Ugh, today feels like Monday.
Wow! More than 40 000€ for #PeerTube! The 45K goal seems so close...

I'm testing Mint 19 with Cinnamon in a VM this morning. I haven't used Mint since Mint 12. It's a lot more refined and elegant than I remember. Unless there's an ugly secret in here somewhere, I can see this as a daily driver. I'm using MATE right now, for reference.
It's kind of frustrating coming from a family of mostly non-technical people. I showed my brother (who's visiting for the first time in 2 years) some stuff I have around the house. A Mycroft Mark I, a RetroPi Nintendo emulator, a computer I have setup for a coding workstation. I pointed out that they're all running on a Raspberry Pi (a $35 computer), which I think is amazingly cool. He didn't even seem to register how amazing that is.
Some info about the theme I bastardised to work with my site:
Penguins! Oh, and me. I'm there too.

I use an app called Datally to monitor my data use when I'm off WiFi. Today while I was waiting on pizza, I loaded a single mobile website. I've complained about boat on the Internet before, but things are really getting stupid now.

@Gargron I had a question about the rss feeds in Mastodon. I was using them recently, and I noticed that I'm only getting the actual posts made by individuals. I checked, and there's an rss feed on the "with_replies", but it the same. So https://fosstodon.org/@mike.rss and https://fosstodon.org/@mike/with_replies.rss are identical. Is that a bug or working as intended?
Since I don't have a desk at work anymore (a permanent one anyway), I brought my Pi workstation home and set it up here.
The people at The Cheesecake Factory added "Happy Anniversary" in chocolate to our order. Nice.
Where's the cheesecake you ask? It didn't last long.
