I had to post this here, because it's just so hilarious if true. Has @elonmusk 's #twitter paid ANYONE since all the staff were fired? Is this the reason everything is getting "shut down" without any warning or forethought? Let's grab the popcorn and watch the court filings!

Whoops, forgot to post the invite link - use this https://t.co/BBCJixmuNY and you should be good to jump on the fediverse bandwagon! And I still need to fix all the default images and themes, too.

I have finally finished building the new https://t.co/6xvpD0Grp6 Mastodon instance, and it's open for signups. It SHOULD be painless to scale, so please feel free to join there, if you're looking for a place onto the fediverse.

I wonder if @gameofkittens approve of this non-exploding kitten.

A friend of mine just posted randomly that they were locked out of their @Coles account too. C'mon Coles, surely the idiots who were claiming it was "for security" (but were unable to specify HOW it was "for security") have been fired by now.

If you don't go into @Coles often enough, you're banned from going in, until you beg for permission. And then it'll take two weeks for you to be let back in. This is quite possibly the craziest policy ever.

Since most of the Twitter Engineers are getting fired ANYWAY, who is going to go down in a blaze of Glory and ban @elonmusk for trying to sell Blue Ticks?

Man, how did I miss this?!? A modern BIOS has been completely leaked. This is going to have #infosec and #reverseengineering nerds overjoyed!

Well #proxmox is looking pretty good for a #vmware replacement. Clustering works, live migration works, LACP works, and it's all open source. Now to run some unimportant things on it to see how it goes!

Wow. I think I've won the internet today. My response and diagnosis to a problem is the "Featured Snippet" on google for that problem!

So there you go. Next thing for me to do is rework my off the cuff 'ZFS: Everything you never wanted to know about it, but are now being forced to find out' presentation (Subtitled: Why hardware RAID hates you, and wants to destroy your data) and release it properly!

8. I'm CERTAIN that a '5.0% ABV' Beer over there does not have 5% alcohol in it. They must use some crazy furlongs-per-fortnight measuring scale for their beers 9. And finally, despite all the bad press against @Qantas they performed flawlessly.

6. 'Salt and Vinegar Chips' over there are 'Plain Chips which once briefly, SAW a bottle of vinegar flavouring, but there was no further interaction' 6a. Samboy chips would kill them. 7. NO ONE OVER THERE KNOWS THAT MACADAMIAS ARE AUSTRALIAN. This is the thing that blew my mind.

3. They are all astonished and puzzled as to why Chicken Salt is not a thing in the US (as am I!). They love it. 4. They don't understand Musk flavoured stuff. 4a. Admittedly, neither do I. But I still love it. 5. Our most boring Cadbury chocolate beats theirs.

Well I'm back home. Finally! Things that STILL surprise me about the US: 1. Their meat tastes of cardboard. 1a. Hypothesis: Is this why they put hot sauce on everything? 2. The reason Automatic cars are everywhere is because it's awkward using your dominant hand to change gear
