@natecull it's your lucky day you've won a zero day jackpot!

@thatgeoguy looking for anything in particular? Computer or software stuff, or looking for comfortable chair, nice keyboard, etc? 😄

At my work we've set up our own Jitsi server for teleconferencing to replace in-person meetings (there are providers of hosted Jitsi out there if you don't want to self host). It seems to work alright so far.

Otherwise my setup is pretty normal, with a comfy office chair and subdued lighting.

@thatgeoguy It's working "on" the weekend instead of "for" the weekend for me here :blobcheeky:

Once the sidekiq backlog clears out it should settle down and be easier to migrate followers.
Also I've kept this server on v2.9.x for the time being so we can interact with dot-club as long as possible.

I'll upgrade to 3.x in the event security patches stop being backfired or the fate of dot-club becomes more certain.

In the meantime have fun!

Hey @thatgeoguy welcome to my little outpost!

Excuse the mess today, I've been doing a bit of renovations to my systems to try and make things run smoother. You may see some 50x errors today.

Rest assured the situation is temporary; I've been here 3 years and plan to stick around a lot longer!

@yogthos this totally blows my mind

@taweret Wotan is good and valid...and totally within this plane of existence today.

Well, time to let the elephant rest as I do some upgrades. See you all later...

@thegibson in about an hour I'm going to do some upgrades on my servers that will require taking my masto instance offline for a bit. Otherwise I'm basically hibernating...not just for social distancing but because it is snowy and -25c outside.

@mwlucas I'm definitely okay with watching "I'm Not Okay With This". Highly entertaining!

Hey @snowdusk_ I washed my hands!

Oh damn I touched my mobile to send this I have to wash my hands again 😝

Also don't forget to clean your phone lol

@Mainebot it was way cheaper at T&T supermarket in my neighborhood, and they seem to have ample stock of everything.

The biggest mistake people seem to make here is shopping at Costco, Wal-Mart or Superstore. That's where all the nasty people go when there is some sort of crisis.

@puzzled @ink_slinger the issues seem to cause delayed federation, errors posting media and the "web" container crashing and restarting. Once a post goes through it's all good.

The elephant has been acting pretty sober since last night :blobtonguewink:

That said, I will be doing the actual upgrade work on my storage server tonight so the elephant will have a little nap while that happens

@ink_slinger they called you out? You're *Captain* Typ0 what do they expect?

@puzzled

@phooky YES THIS!

An alternate reality where the Symbolics corporation dominated all computing industries and their space-cadet keyboard evolved into giant panels of keys and buttons.

@natecull

@taweret

"Don't go into the light" is actually them subtly telling skeptics to go to Hell

@healyn

@interneteh is there somewhere on the interwebs that has selfies of all the candidates with the "beauty mode" turned up to 11?

@Elizafox conversely, more than one @jesus are called Jesi

All of March is shaping up to be like that here.

Take care of yourself @ink_slinger and try to find some relaxing home time with the family :blobpats:

Went to my neighborhood supermarket and it was a blissfully pedestrian experience.

No long queues

No fighting

Shelves well stocked

Toilet paper available

Either the panic has subsided and suppliers have caught up, or the fact it's a T&T Asian supermarket kept the fragile and frightened racist doomsday preppers away.

@stux that is a sculpture but real ones are still hekkin' adorable too
