Supposed to be studying. My wife is supposed to be putting the kid to bed. The kid is supposed to be sleeping.

I can hear him laughing his little head off...

Studying is worthwhile, but this soundtrack sure as shit ain't lofi chill.

Hey there new people! Are you looking for a nice, well-run server to move to? I maintain a small site that lists them at:

➡️ fedi.garden

All of the servers listed obey the four rules of the Mastodon Covenant (fedi.garden/about-this-site/), but it's more than just Mastodon servers and they are all under 50k members.

I also do featured server posts introducing the listed servers.

There’s been a lot of speculation around what Threads will be and what it means for Mastodon. We’ve put together some of the most common questions and our responses based on what was launched today:

Unfortunately, I can't say that I'm the one running #FusionPBX, our provider is and they'll be the ones maintaining it. They bought into it to replace #Cisco Call Manager in their stores and are using it for customers too.

@mrjukes
Probably not. Running a de-Googled OS. Means no/fewer Google Services. You will have to use other carriers with the Fairphone 4 most likely.

I'm in the same boat. Pixel 6, Fi user. But I do like the idea of the Fairphone and the /e/ OS.

I wrote a comic about calculus.

Child: Math class is so pointless, when am I ever gonna need to know calculus?
Parent: You don't study calculus in school to learn calculus. You study calculus in school to learn that life is cruel and unfair.

They're priced right and have been mostly issue free. New #voip provider is using #FusionPBX.

Fairphone teams up with the developer of the /e/ Android fork to enable US sales.

Have had good luck with Yealink phones. Taking our small business to a new provider with them, BYOD, <50 devices. Primarily using T46S, few T54W, a couple T33Gs.

@nixCraft cable, but they're building out fiber in the towns I used to live in and just moved to. Sooner or later!

@TechyDad I was looking at work for a cloud based note app that I thought I saved on r/sysadmin. Now I can't for the life of me recall the website I found. I was on mobile when I found it and wish I had a better follow through for desktop bookmarking. I tried to stay off today.
