Well, I managed to get the Astro storyline to L45. My least favourite #FFXIV job story ever (it's so negative). But Hal here needs to catch up.

I disliked the changes they brought to AST a while back, but it makes it a little easier to play. But I actually liked the things they removed or "simplified".

Right, I'm in too much pain, so heading back for meds and to try and calm my mind down a different way.

I'll be around tomorrow only if my pain is vaguely controlled.

Well, we've spent time assembling the crew for a rescue mission in Umbar. Well, technically, two rescue missions.

Next time, she'll have to take time to say bye to someone /she/ needs to, rather than always on someone else's errand. And so as someone advised - figure out what she was going to wear on the and in hot climates.

As for me, well I've been up 12hrs, so...it's meds and sleep time again.

Look after yourselves,

#StaySafe #BeKind

Sometimes the ones who look strong...
The dependable ones...
The ones with the greatest burden...
The ones who look out for the good of others...

are those too proud to ask for help when they need it. Because "people need me" or "people are relying on me".

You're never too strong to be beyond needing encouragement.
Not too clever to ask for help.

Often...only together can we get through things.

Be strong and courageous, but you don't need to do it alone.

I ended with checking whether my "second main" character in #FFXIV needed anything from the Moogle event and it's no. So I ran a Squadron dungeon on one of the healing classes that's still under L50.

I'd forgotten this character has some different members compared to my main.

Anyway, it's time for meds and sleep. And a cold remedy as I'm feeling rough on a few levels now.

Thanks for letting me winge.

@rootsnase Aus gegeben Anlass: Lieber vorher einmal kurz durchzählen, wie viele Klappspaten in der Blechkiste deine Hilfe dann in Anspruch nehmen würden:

Handy raus, Foto machen, Kennzeichen, Anzeige wg. Nötigung (geht online). Wenn die Klappspaten allergisch aufs Foto machen reagieren, direkt filmen und Zeugen alarmieren.

Right, well that was my first "digital productivity" thing done in weeks and I'm thoroughly shattered.

I needed to do that "ad-free" thing, though as I have to pay a contract early termination fee with my ad company - as I'm cancelling it for my own mental health.

I'm off to get meds and sleep. Unless I discover I've totally wrecked the site tomorrow, I won't be productive tomorrow. Back to resting.

Watching paddlers sit in the boat channel/ lane directly opposite you with the late day sky and reflections impacting visibility is a very specific feeling….not quite anxiety inducing more concerning.

Seems like more boating and water safety information wouldn’t go to waste. #StaySafe

Well, I managed to get WHM to nearly L77 in #FFXIV, but lost concentration so switched to crafting something for myself, then doing the Turali Travel Agent society and the Mamool Ja quests.

I'm now tired, so heading back to the house for much-needed meds and sleep.

Nice to have quick chats with you. I'll be back tomorrow when/if I am strong enough.

People dying in monsoon season rains left and right, I hope everyone stays safe, government response and warning systems inadequately failed as ever.

Other than the large scale floods, the death tolls are far higher this time round, could it be a sign of things to come?

A scary future awaits, it seems.

🚨 Scam Alert: "Verify your Fedi account" Phishing Attempt 🚧

Attention everyone on Mastodon! There's a scam making the rounds where malicious actors impersonate moderators or admins. They send private messages or make posts that mimic notifications, claiming that your account needs verification. These messages often include a link for you to "complete the verification process."

⚠️ This is a Scam!

Your server admin will never ask you to click a link to verify your account.
No other admin from any other server will either, even if they appear to be part of the main Mastodon team.
If your account is suspended, you won't receive a message about it. Instead, you'll see a notification upon logging in that your account is temporarily suspended.

How to Identify the Scam:

Fake admin accounts often use names containing "moderator" or "admin," but this doesn't mean they are legitimate.
Legitimate admins or instance owners usually have a badge or marking on their profile indicating their role.

What to Do:

If you receive a message or post urging you to click a link to verify your account, report it immediately.
If you have any doubts about your account status, contact your server admin or moderation team directly.
To verify the authenticity of an admin or instance owner, visit the "About" page of your instance. This page typically lists contact information for the real team administering your instance.
Always be cautious when interacting with accounts claiming to be from Mastodon or your instance's admin team.

Important Reminder:

Mastodon does not perform age verification. If you receive a message or post claiming to be from Mastodon or your instance's admin team, always verify its authenticity before taking any action.

Reporting the Scam:

If you encounter this scam, report it to your instance's admin team and use relevant tags, such as #FediBlock, to help raise awareness.

Personal Note:

I'm not a cybersecurity expert, but I find this new scam in the Fediverse quite interesting. If you feel like sharing your experiences with me, I would appreciate it! I'm looking to collect cases and get a broader view of this phishing attack. Maybe I'll even try to write a report about it. Feel free to tag me in any relevant posts.

Let's stay vigilant and help each other stay safe online!

"Three gingers walked into a fort..." not the funniest of jokes.

But I did some #FFXIV MSQ then allowed side-quest stories to take me. You don't exactly /level/ with side-quests, but I played as White Mage so I could just hurl rocks and wind damage without needing to think.

I'd forgotten pretty much all the side-quests so I was glad I'd done them.

I'm off for meds and sleep. If I can control my pain I should be able to sleep, anyway.

Well, I managed some #LOTRO in the end, but when I'm not exhausted I find that my concentration is shot instead.

But I have managed my Midsummer Dailies, which included convincing one inhabitant of Forochel that they really should take a break on a tropical island from time-to-time.

So enjoy the Northern Lights, LOTRO style.

I'm off for meds and sleep. Hopefully.
