Y estos misterios? de la noche a la mañana me ha desaparecido el sonido del ordenador. Gracias a los auriculares he visto que el sonido de salida estaba en digital output o algo así, pero yo no he tocado nada. Si no hubiera tenido auriculares, me hubiera quedado sin sonido.

el tema Delcy me parece el más demencial, si se hace porque se hace, si no se hace... crisis diplomática. Ahí sí que no hay de dónde rascar. Además: no se entiende. Vas a un bar, preguntas a alguien para que te explique el Delcygate... Es imposible. No se entiende.

Bueno, seguro que hay quien te lo explique, lo que pasa que a base de pura invención:

Delcy trajo maletines de oro al PSOE que se fueron en el mismo avión a Suiza (como acabaron en la sede del PSOE y en Suiza al mismo tiempo es mucho preguntar, sólo un socialista pregunta tanto).

My socially awkward and permanently anxious self just made a call and I neither lost my shit nor fumbled my words.

Aw, you are welcome. I have the same issue though, so you are not alone, I am sure others do too.

I know a few of my followers are fellow Dungeon Crawler Carl fans. The e-book and print book for book 7 can be pre-ordered now, and will be out November 11, 2024. The audio book pre-order will start soon, and the release is February 25, 2025.

@stirlock it's a very complicated business. I post-produce for far more hours than I read when it comes to recording audio. Whether that's a measure of my own lack of skills or not I don't know.

Am 14. Oktober 1970 löste Helene-Charlotte von Bothmer einen Skandal aus, weil sie als erste Frau in einem Hosenanzug eine Rede im Bundestag hielt. Zuvor hatte der Vizepräsident des Bundestages Richard Jaeger (CSU) erklärt, er würde es keiner Frau erlauben, das Plenum in Hosen zu betreten, geschweige denn an das Rednerpult zu treten. Die lautstarke Empörung im Plenarsaal und außerhalb war gewaltig.

Ja, mit so einem Scheiß haben wir uns als junge Frauen rumschlagen müssen.

Der 6-jährige heute so: "Gell, Papa, ihr seid aus den späten 19-hunderter Jahren".

Irgendwie hat er mich damit an einer Stelle erwischt, von der mir nicht bewusst war, dass sie wehtun kann.

So, my est investment honestly.

I wrote a small tool in Go that will filter my inbox for messages older than <x> days (currently 30, for me), delete the ones sent by known spammy addresses or common subject lines, and move the rest to an Archive/<message year> folder. If the archive/<year> folder doesn't exist, it gets created. I have a thing that will run this every week and notify me about the changes. This is easier and more intuitive to me than designing automated email rules, which rely on server or client support.

Hi. Hello. Is this thing on?

I love this name can I join? LOL. I probably won't one instance is enough for me, I am getting old but that's really funny. I boosted you so you can federate. Yay! Make people boost you. But this instance has 8k instances it federates with sooo, look that thing go up and up and whee! Be happy!

I have my Mastodon server working ... mostly.
It seems there some kind of problem when searching for users on other instances. I was able to interact with my admin@procrastodon.net account by mentioning @admin from this account, but before that, neither account could seem to follow the other. The biggest clue I have is an error 500 that shows up in Mona when I try to search for users after switching to the Procrastodon account. I think Tweesecake performs a search with many of its user-related commands and just selects the first result, so I assume it's also failing there. I don't get any visible error if I search with the web interface, nor can I seem to find anything in logs--although that's likely because I just don't know where to look.
Curious if anyone has ever experienced something like this, or knows where I can go to get some slightly more useful troubleshooting done.

Yes, this usually happens when your account is new. Trying to search for users from it is the better option. If that does not work, then something broke, but GTS definitely did that. Until we interacted with over 7000 instances and search was no longer an issue. :D

So I have a question for all you out there. What is this whole woke movement? What does it mean if you are a woke person? me, @pooch754 and his mom are all curious.

Made another handy #accessibility guide, this time for your science plots!

Our plots can have lots of messages in them, so try and tell the story of the main message. Here's a guideline/template and some tips on how you can describe your plots that works for me.

Hope folks find this useful!

(I am using one of our pulsar observations to demonstrate how I have used this template in the alt-text for this image)

#Science #Astrodon #ScienceCommunication #SciComm

This is a plot of a pulsar observation, with the x-axis representing the pulse phase and the y-axis representing flux density in units of millijansky. The plot contains thre curves, one in black which represents the pulsar's profile intensity, one in red which represents the linear polarization and one in blue which represents the circular polarization. The pulsar's signal forms a sharp narrow peak around pulse phase 0.35. The intensity profile is much larger than the polarization profiles, which both form a more variant profile, rising up and down. The circular polarization even goes negative. This plot is representative of an observation for the pulsar PSR J2241-5236. Above the main plot there is also a smaller sub-plot, which shows the position angle (P.A.) data as a function of the same pulse phase, as well as degrees. The data in this plot is small clusters of data points and their error bars. The P.A. represents the orientation of the linear polarization of light from the observer's perspective. There is also text on the plot, which provides handy accessibility tips and a template for the wording to use, as this image is being used to demonstrate science plot accessibility.
