I love everything from Linux, games, boardgames, nature, cats. Trying to make the world better by supporting privacy first, open-source projects and getting away from the algorithms.
Today we’re quietly (and finally!) opening up Railfinder to the public! This is our beta version and - hopefully - the first step towards that one booking site for trains across Europe that we all dream of.
Lots of work has gone into this and equally lots still to do before reach that vision, but if you’d like to try what we’ve built you can now just go to https://www.railfinder.eu and have a go!
Any and all feedback more than welcome 🙏
Happy 19th birthday to my bicycle. I take absolutely no care of you. I leave you out in the rain. I ram you through snow and mud and up and down kerbs. I make you drag stuff too heavy for you. I rarely remember to feed you with oil and air. I fling you onto trains and into hedges and into any space you fit, or don’t. And yet you always work, cost little to maintain and nothing to run. And you give me easy exercise. And I will never be too old not to think Wheeee! as I freewheel you downhill.

Happy #Caturday, and happy 5th anniversary of adoption to the one and only Doris.
Five years ago, at the height of the Rona, a lady arrived here with a cat carrier and released a small, shy tortoiseshell cat. That was Doris, who had lived somewhere in Skåne until her original human died, was estimated to have been 8yo, and who the rescue website said couldn’t go to a home with other pets or children. Five years on, she has made a home here. Here’s to the next 5.

Everything moved. Nothing left behind.
Just got a cold call email advertising training in “ChatGPT for Accountants”.
Folks, I just want to remind you all that “vibe accounting” is better known as “fraud” or “embezzlement”. Please plan accordingly.

The fediverse is an ecosystem where you - not some incellionaire obsessed with eugenics - own your digital identity.
Where your social graph belongs to you, not an algorithm’s shifting fucking whims.
Where moving from one service to another doesn’t mean losing everything you’ve built and everything you’ve ever said.

I’m so proud of Pica. She has done a great job recovering from her #hyperthyroidism and becoming a potato again. #PicaTheCat #catsofmastodon #cats #cat #potato
A massive potato or perhaps a petite melon. Either way 10/10
