I’m going to stop boosting the main toot about my dad so regularly now – seeing it get faved & boosted so much in the lead-up to his funeral was lovely, and all the condolences & well-wishes really made me feel like I’d been able to honour his memory amongst people who would have understood him & who appreciated his life’s work

I’ll leave it pinned for now, & I’m sure I’ll re-boost it every now & then to keep it circulating (and I’ll set up the #XClacksOverhead headers on my servers when I get a chance)

thank you all so much for using the #clacks & keeping the memory of my dad circulating through the æther 💕

over 200 lovely #FediFriends have favourited this tribute to my dad, which for me in my very small pond on masto is “doin’ numbers” 😜

thank you all so much for using the #clacks & keeping the memory of my dad circulating through the æther 💕

thank you so much to all the wonderful #FediFriends who have boosted, faved, & replied to this toot – your response has been heartwarming & a balm against the overwhelm in what some folks are still calling “these troubled times” 💕

please keep the #clacks going & the memory of my dad circulating 🙏

I asked one of the many AIs I fool around with for a Discworld picture. Just that. And got this, so I guess Terry Pratchett's legacy is going to be with us forever...

We just added a new header to our site.

Our turtle, Hank, is twice as big now. This was taken a few years ago. Let me know if you'd like him to model for some more shots. He's a bit of a media tart.

If Hank keeps growing we will be able to balance a little world on his back. A #Discworld if you will.

tech.lgbt: Media loading slower than on a 56k modem... again :neocat_googly_shocked:​
*uses his server as a SOCKS-proxy*
tech.lgbt: Media loading right away :neocat_thonk:​
I guess my ISP is doing peering-bullshit again and routing the traffic via the discworld, where it's transmitted by the clacks... :neocat_sob:​

@fabricati_diem Estoy disfrutando de #Clacks como una enana. Fuiste el primero en dármelo a conocer y, al fin, he seguido tu recomendación... Tenías razón. Estoy pasándolo genial con el modo solitario. ¡Qué vicio! 😅 Gracias. (Y sí, la edición coleccionista 😉).

Uhhh... what are they not telling us about the #Clacks? 😱

HTs #Discworld #Cthulhu #BoardGames #ConspiracyTheories #funny #London #photography

A display of sealed board games in a shop is all except one Cthulhu themed. 'Clacks' is in the bottom right with a picture of someone riding a horse past wooden telegraph towers, the others are Reign of Cthulhu, Eldritch Horror, Arkham Horror, Sleeping Gods, and Unfathomable - all featuring tentacles and/or monsters on the cover.

Free decorative #ProjectIdea that i will definitely never do myself (due to lack of time and tools):

A motorized miniature #Clacks tower that can "transmit" an RSS feed, social media feed, or notifications from your phone.

Just tried to play #Clacks the #Discworld #Boardgame for the first time.

Incredibly confusing rule set, combined with a fellow player with no patience.

It's going back in the box for now. Too bad.

#2; building a simple WEB API with #Clacks! Don't want to need a #Python interpreter to talk to your server? Just want to issue standard #HTTP requests from your #web browser, but you want the server to be written in #python ? I've got you!

So sending a nice Terry Pratchett into the void. #clacks
