From evan@cosocial.ca on Mastodon: When will the first major Chinese social network site join the fediverse? # EvanPoll # poll

If a person wanted to download their data from # Twitter /#X and then create an artificial history of their timeline in # Mastodon (as if they had always been posting there - a migration of the timeline, if you like), any advice on how to most efficiently do that? Asking for a friend.

After a week in # Montreal for a conference ( # GUINEAPIG !) and then a week of vacation in # Sudbury , I returned to work at # SNOLAB today. Step one: inbox zero (accomplished). Step two: catch up with research students (accomplished). Step three: pick up the threads of project-related activities (in progress). Managed to also submit a letter of recommendation, re-read a paper draft, and help with the seminar. Not a bad day!

Had a lovely last day of vacation. Had a great walk in Rotary Park up in New Sudbury and a nice post-walk lunch and nap. Also, loved that # StrangeNewWorlds and # LowerDecks crossover episode.

It was a long process, but the good old # ChevyVolt was finally (a) fully imported to # Canada and (b) registered in the province of # Ontario this past Friday. The last hurdle was passing the import inspection, as one part of the car was found to be non-compliant with Canadian/Ontario auto rules. After weeks of searching and pleading with the dealership to solve the problem (they failed), it boiled down to disconnecting a single wire from a switch. Voila! I am pleased to have a legal car!

From hastur@hackers.town on Mastodon: @ doktorzjivago OK dear friends, today's funniest discovery is that it's easier than ever to start your own podcast—thanks to Mastodon's open source! 1. Record your podcast and save as an mp3 file. Max 40 MB which corresponds to between 40-80 minutes depending on kbps. 2. Upload it right up in the feed with a description. 3. People can listen to the podcast directly in the mastodon feed. But also subscribe to it by taking your link to your profile, adding ".rss" at the end and pasting into any podcast app! 🥳

From mcnees@mastodon.social on Mastodon: Michael Collins took this photo # OTD in 1969, with Earth hanging in the background as Apollo 11’s Lunar Module Eagle rejoined Command Module Columbia. Except for Michael Collins, every human being born on or before July 21, 1969 is in the frame of this photo! Image: NASA

From JoshuahHeath@mathstodon.xyz on Mastodon: I vaguely remember seeing a post (it was on someone's blog, but I believe I saw a link on either Mastodon or Twitter) about a package for Python that made Matplotlib plots look like old-time journal pictures. Specifically, I think this was in the context of astronomy, but I'm not sure. Does anyone know of such a python package?

Here is some fun with a big magnet and magnetic minerals at # DynamicEarth https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/5985a962b11fe3a5066ce56fd37039040c2f952c3e62b715d6b76a3784d5571a/view

Had a wonderful time at # DynamicEarth in # Sudbury on a lovely rainy day. Especially liked all the hands-on geophysics, including testing conductivity and magnetism of minerals. https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/ccf2c835278f201c417dfb9696492eaa5229b04d89c236c55a910f462e18e199/view

Had an absolutely wonderful time # kayaking with family yesterday. The day was mostly overcast and pleasant, and we pretty thoroughly explored the lake. Took time for a picnic lunch in between our exploration of the water and the surrounding shores. https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/f1df4920c86d0feaf9e2dd802debb3fdb58b40b778c4ab1b6d9426ca1b32a6d1/view

Excited for my sister, who is traveling to a conference in Thailand. It's a 3-day trip, and I wish her much sleep as she adjusts to the big timezone change.

From mcnees@mastodon.social on Mastodon: Apollo 11 launched # OTD in 1969, carrying Neil Armstrong, Michael Collins, and Buzz Aldrin to the Moon. It was one of the most remarkable scientific collaborations in history, taking humans from Earth to the surface of another world, then returning them safely home. Images: NASA
