Back after giving myself a month away from Fedi.
I'll attempt to curate my experience much more, starting with this account and instance.
I want comfy things in my life - I don't need to be adding stress and angst from my online interactions. We can do better. We should do better. Including myself.
My interests cover #tech, #photography, #biking, #motorsport, #fountainpen, and other things I will no doubt need to add here when I remember.
I touch computers in my spare time and self host things. Oh yeah so #selfhosting I guess.
In my other spare time I renovate my house and do #DIY stuff.
Oh and I (used to?) play music. #Guitar I still have and sometimes play, #Saxophone I used to have a couple of decades ago, I had 6 months of Drum lessons, and played Bass for our school band in Rockquest in the late 90's.
I have never done anything that cool since.
Oh I live in New Zealand, Aotearoa.

tychotithonus@infosec.exchangeVarnish Cache project to change its name to Vinyl Cache with after the next release (after today's 8.0.0, in March), per @bsdphk:
We have tried to negotiate with Varnish Software for many months about this issue, but their IP-Lawyers still insist that Varnish Software owns the Varnish Cache name, and at most we have being offered a strictly limited, subject to their veto, permission for the FOSS project to use the “Varnish Cache” name.
We cannot live with that: We are independent FOSS project with our own name.
So we will change the name of the project.
The new association and the new project will be named “The Vinyl Cache Project”, and this release 8.0.0, will be the last under the “Varnish Cache” name. The next release, in March will be under the new name, and will include compatibility scripts, to make the transition as smooth as possible for everybody.

amirbkhan@mastodon.socialHow do you lure your kids off iPhones?
Give them MacBooks…running a "cool" version of Linux. Snagged 2 old Airs for just €50 each.
Wiped macOS, & installed @elementary - a clean, distro that feels familiar to macOS users but comes with a lot less bloat.
Now they’ve got "cool" Apple gear, with the the rich world of #Linux that respects their freedom and sparks curiosity.
Kids 1, Dad 1

Thrilled to learn that the thagomizer is now generally called the thagomizer because of the thagomizer Far Side cartoon.
Of course in reality the stegosaurus and Thag Simmons did not co-exist.

Are there any existing groups or servers with these topics?
Retoots / Boosts are appreciated!

CiaraNi@mastodon.green"Efficiency strips away the goodness of the world. You should always allow for great deals of inefficiency to make a nice designed city, a nice designed system. Not only does it destroy the good things, it takes money and gives it to the worst people: platform creators & tech people. And it’s not like things are cheaper or better. Money is being transferred to the wrong people instead of creators and people who make the world a better place through community & creation."
