    I was hoping to get 100% ground coverage before putting water in the tank, but 9 weeks in growth was starting to stall and some of the plant leaves were browning at the tips, so I went ahead and filled it up. Given the number of oxygen bubbles the monte carlo is producing, it should continue to grow in just fine. The matterfilter is working great as well. Nice flow, and it's completely silent.

    I filled the tank and re-homed the fish. They're currently enjoying the shelter of the cave.

    I heard about Gracias a Dios, Honduras on the radio today, but it sounded like they were saying the place was called Gracias, Adios!.

    I just watched Going Clear. I've always heard that cult leaders are charismatic, but in the clips they included, L. Ron Hubbard just seemed like kind of a creep. His demeanor seemed very artificial and off-putting. Maybe he put off some alien pheromone that got people to like him. David Miscavige, the current head of the cult seems like a much more magnetic person. Stilla huckster to be sure, but not gross in the way Hubbard was.

    I finished reading Tiamat's Wrath last night. The series is consistently good, but I think this was one of the better ones. If anyone else has finished it and wants to talk about Amos, let me know.

      Google+ Communities Won’t Go Down Without a Fight
      By Tom Nardi from Hackaday

      Google+ is dead. Granted people have been saying that much for years now, but this time it’s really true. As of April, Google’s social media experiment will officially go the way of Reader, Buzz, Wave, Notebook, and all the other products that the search giant decided they were no longer interested in maintaining. Unfortunately in the case of Google+, the shutdown means losing a lot of valuable content that was buried in the “Communities” section of the service. Or at least that’s what we all thought.

      Thanks to the efforts of [Michael Johnson], many of those Google+ communities now have a second chance at life. After taking a deep dive into the data from his own personal Google+ account, he realized it should be possible to write some code that would allow pulling the content out of Google’s service and transplanting it into a Discourse instance. With some more work, he was even able to figure out how to preserve the ownership of the comments and posts. This is no simple web archive; you can actually log into Discourse with your Google account and have all of your old content attributed to you.

      To date, [Michael] has managed to transplant over 40,000 posts and around 270,000 comments into “The Maker Forums“. With a few more weeks until the lights officially go out over at Google+, he says there’s still time to scrape more data out of the service if anyone has suggestions on maker-related content that they think is worthy of preservation. Of course, as all the code for the project as been released as open source, there’s still hope for the non-technical Communities should anyone want to spearhead the effort to duplicate those as well.

      Browsing through the cloned Communities, it’s impressive how well everything has transitioned. Discourse doesn’t have Google’s Material Design flair (though whether that’s a bad thing or not depends on the individual’s taste) and lacks some features such as generating previews for links, but all the content is preserved and that’s ultimately what really matters.

      Original post on G+
      Reproduced version in Discourse

      When we first brought you word that Google+ was being shuttered, we were specifically concerned about the fate of the technical communities which had flourished on the platform. When companies turn their back on consumers, it can feel like we’re powerless. But efforts like this show the community can take the power back if they’re willing to put in the effort.

      [Thanks to Anthony for the tip.]

    Snails are beautifull !

    My 9 years old son, YoYo, shot those pics of some big snails living in one of our fishtanks.
    Also an Amano shrimp.
    Nikon D60 and 18-55 mm lenz.

      The Brutal Mirror - Vox - Pocket
      from Pocket
      When I finally puked on the fourth night, I felt an odd sense of pride. Inside the loud, stuffy ceremony room, people were laughing, crying, chanting, gyrating, and, yes, vomiting, around me.

    Here you can see the impact of the cleanup I did last night. The pace of these bogus accounts seems to be accelerating. There are an additional 630 newly created accounts right now that I did not delete out of an abundance of caution, else the change would be even more drastic.

    #Podmins, I've included the scripts I've used to remediate fake accounts on our pod in the diaspora-scripts repo.

    The first script, find-fakes.py will search the diaspora database for users that have no content and only a single log-in and write out the user ids to a file. You may specify --interval <days> to omit newly-created accounts.

    The second script, purge-accounts.py will read in the list of user ids and either close (delete) or lock (disable) the accounts in bulk.

    If you have no idea what this is all about, see this post.

      The Dreams Of A Man Asleep For Three Weeks
      from Kotaku
      On March 22, 2018, I was rushed to the hospital for life-saving surgery. Due to complications with the procedure, I didn’t regain full, coherent consciousness until the second week in April. For three weeks I was stuck inside my own mind, subject to a seemingly unending series of dreams. Dreams covering on a variety of themes, some light and hopeful, others dark and dismal. I dreamed the end of my life over and over. I was a hero and a villain. Sometimes, but not often, I was Michael Fahey.
