#qoto support. I've been trying to export my data. It's said "Compiling your archive..." for several hours. Should I interpret that as still working, or crashed?

Hi. Does anyone know what the sequence of events is when moving your #mastodon account to another server?

One would hope that it would do the move first, then deactivate and redirect the account only when the move completed and passed all checks. But is that actually the case?

If someone has location sharing on when they're swept up in the #rapture, what does the map show? I mean #apple maps doesn't cover #heaven, does it?

Does anyone know what time the Rapture is? Should I eat breakfast or am I just going to spoil my appetite for a heavenly buffet?

I'm old enough to remember when the web was going to wipe out the advertising model by, at long last, empowering customers to find the products they want, not the other way around.

30 years later, nobody's ever found a way to pay for the web except advertising

Hah. Reading about Kimmel's negotiations with Disney and calls for the latter to uphold foundational American principles, which it has often -- though far from consistently -- represented.

And suddenly realized that the music i was hearing was a "Quand on prie la bonne étoile", AKA "When you […]

I just noticed that "positronic" is an anagram for "postironic". I'm sure this signfies something.

Having had three cups of strong coffee in as many hours, try soldering 36 x 0.1" pitch pins on a board that has an unprotected LCD display surface-mounted perhaps 5mm away, using the sort of blunt-tipped soldering iron better suited to, say, repairing a watering can.

Amazingly I got away with […]

Hey, remember Y2K, when COBOL skills were suddenly valuable again? I'm banking that the day is coming when the same is true for having been adept at Palm Pilot Graffiti

Let's make sure I've got this right person who proclaims her own innocence of the crime of which she was convicted also proclaims the innocence of someone willing and able to pardon her.

There's a construction worker with a nail gun working about 50 yards away, and he keeps recreating that one drum bit from The Cars' "Let's Go", that comes after "she's a frozen fire". Every time. I've had it stuck in my head all morning, and every time I move it out he puts it back.

Users of the James Webb Space Telescope seem to be obsessed with searching exoplanets for liquid water and other chemicals related to life, but remain curiously silent on the subject of lunar cheese molecules.

We're losing #openaccess to #weather #data on the #noaa web site. But #hamradio operators can still access it directly from the #satellites. They can even decrypt most of it with a new #opensource decoder. Here's how.

Ring cameras are easily identifiable from the street, and a few of my neighbors even have "Ring" notice signs in their yards. And this is a quite liberal neighborhood.

I wonder what the result would be of printing up flyers, headed DO YOU KNOW WHAT AMAZON IS DOING WITH YOUR RING CAMERA VIDEO? […]

There's an irony in the fact that one of #paramount's biggest cash cows is #startrek -- a series originally about an idealized future with one world government, whose economy was post-scarcity socialism, was proudly and even aggressively egalitarian and diverse, secular, and science-centred […]
