@dredmorbius Now that I'm looking into the logfiles some more I think I might have simply happened upon that one page that includes two dozen images that are also hosted on the same wiki, and I just missed that little key aspect. 😅 I think I'm going to delete that original toot for spreading false rumours!

@dredmorbius I wonder. Perhaps it's part of some sort of "service" by the ISP of this hotel? I checked my browser config and network.prefetch-next is set to false. Oh well.

@sivy Same here. I was very happy that one time I was able to call, send in all the documentation I had, wait for a few weeks, and get the money back at the end. To console myself I compare this cost of trust with the bitcoin cost of mistrust: "Comparing Bitcoin’s energy consumption to other payment systems" in https://digiconomist.net/bitcoin-energy-consumption and related data...

Sadly, https://octodon.social/@kensanata/tagged/photography.rss gives me a feed for my account, not a feed of https://octodon.social/@kensanata/tagged/photography

@loke No, they stopped us at the front desk. 😆

Today was fake checkout day. At the desk, luggage in hand, we discover that we have one more day in Porto. Oh well! Back into the room we go. Let’s find some churches and parks!

@alysonsee Sadly we’re not going that far south. But yes, those waves are fascinating.

Sitting in a hotel room and missing a way to doodle some music and stumbling upon a free and open source synthesizer for the iPhone… how is this possible?

I’ve been spending an hour going crazy on the phone!

@pekman Hello! I see your timeline has a lot of Portuguese toots (particularly your own) – sadly the Trunk we're running is focused on English readers. That's why we try to add only English writing accounts to it. I'd love for somebody to start a site with Portuguese writing fediverse people, though. Sadly, that person is not me.

@ben_hr whoops my mistake, sorry. @dredmorbius

@dredmorbius They offer NO TABS. I hear a certain class of tab-addicts night benefit. Also, no bookmarks. I have it, and i sometimes use it to look for stuff I know I won’t bookmark. References, Wikipedia articles, diseases, monuments.

The bridge was finished in 1886. Pictures of it’s construction on Wikipedia.
Can I also say one more time that I love the sea? It calls at me. When I hear the roar of the waves and feel the sand between my toes, there is a special kind of peace, of being in the present. Instant grounding. I hardly ever see the sea when it is angry. I like the waves and the beach and the sun and the glare. I don’t like hurricanes.

My wife made some pictures on the way to the beaches.
Check out the pictures online about the interior of São Francisco church.

I love rocky beaches and the waves of the Atlantic. Waves make the ocean my friend.
As always, a cool wind was blowing. Great if you’re running, not so great if you just want to lie in the sun. But that’s boring anyway.

@deshipu I was also hoping that it was because the rights of the workers were simply stronger here in Portugal. But I have no idea about the setup.

@Emsrelda it’s a weird kind of news for people like me who live far from any sort of big storms.

@alysonsee i did not know that Hipstamatic was still a thing!

@alysonsee nice front porch!
