After putting my account into "hibernation" for the past few weeks, I finally closed it. But I'm still looking for work. Thankfully I can still find positions (SRE and software dev) by just going directly to the company's site and finding a Jobs page.
Good luck to everyone else out there looking for work!
I agree that going fedi doesn’t automatically solve the issues. However, moving it away from a multi tiered paid platform (they really tailored it so they could do this) and controlling the bots/scam accounts would be a completely different experience. I think fedi would at least solve the first one, and I’d expect would help controlling the second.

I read them recently - mostly it’s the same stuff as in the canon gospels tbh. Some have more of a Buhdist slant (Jesus isn’t God but we’re all god style) but nothing out there.
So WestConnex was totally going to solve traffic in Sydney by adding more lanes for cars. Just a few teething problems on the Rozelle Interchange and it'll all clear up, they said.
I wonder how it's going?
"Gladesville and Drummoyne locals say gridlock is worsening in their suburbs following changes to improve traffic flow through the notorious Rozelle Interchange, with drivers using local streets as “rat runs” to dodge congestion."
Sydney has opened up consultation on a strategy to reduce car traffic and make the city more walkable
"Driving in central Sydney will become harder under a plan to make the city more comfortable for pedestrians.
"The City of Sydney wants to narrow roads for wider footpaths and push for lower speed limits to discourage drivers from the CBD and transform Sydney into a walkable city.
"The council will also install more pedestrian crossings and prioritise people over cars... five times more pedestrians than motorists on the average street, yet just 40 per cent of road space is allocated to footpaths."
We will ensure that there is sufficient space for people to walk.
We will improve connectivity for people walking by ensuring there are frequent street crossings that give people priority and that align with people’s walking routes.
We will ensure that footpaths and crossings are accessible so that everyone can use them.
We will plan our city based on 10-minute neighbourhoods so that people are able to meet their daily needs easily by walking.
We will make it safer for people to walk by reducing vehicle speeds.
We will reduce traffic volumes on surface streets and manage through-traffic in residential neighbourhood streets to improve both safety and experience for people walking.
We will work to make all people feel safer while walking around our city.
We will work to improve compliance with road rules, especially the lesser-known rules that benefit people walking.
We will make our streets and public spaces comfortable and inviting by ensuring that they
are green and cool.
We will make sure that there are frequent opportunities for people to stop and rest, use the toilet or have a drink of water.
We will make our city more pleasant to walk in by reducing noise and air pollution from
traffic.
We will make all streets interesting to walk along by ensuring that built form has active, permeable frontages that invite engagement and curiosity.
We will use design, activations and installations to create neighbourhood-based community and encourage people to interact with their streets.
Unfortunately, the car-brained leader of the local business lobby isn't on board:
"Business Sydney executive director Paul Nicolaou welcomed efforts to make the city pedestrian-friendly... But Nicolaou said it was difficult to see how making Sydney a predominantly walking city would benefit businesses such as retailers."
(Worth repeating that 80% of people on an average city street are pedestrians, so it already is a predominantly walking city.)
Anyway, if you think the plan's a good idea, make sure you let the Sydney City Council know by emailing sydneyyoursay@cityofsydney.nsw.gov.au
Llandogo Trow Ale - Kingstone - 4.2% ABV. B+ and a bit, hugely malty with a gentle fruity bitter finish. Satisfying #ale#beer#bier
3.3/5. Brewed in Tintern 🏴 and it’s a little corker. Moved on to the Pen and Wig where it is currently much calmer. #beersofmastodon@beersofmastodon
👃🏻 Toasty malts, some caramel, light chocolate. Herbal hop notes.
👁️ Dark amber, stable white head.
👅 Toasted. Rather dry. Nice herbal bite in the finish. Finishes like dark bread crust.
If I could wish for just one beer style for breweries to make more often, it would be altbier. They can be so well balanced. A beer for all seasons. Like vienna lager, but better.
A coop PvE game for two dads and three sons?
A shooter, preferably. Any recommendations, #mastodon guys? The youngest lad is 10, so as little violence as possible. Thanks 😉
I did this previously by using MultiMC (now PrismLauncher). Make a mix of mods, send them the zip of the whole game instance and ask them to drag and drop it onto MultiMC. The biggest issue I encountered was one family member having a black ingame world until they changed a setting in the graphics mod, otherwise it didn’t seem to be too hard.
By comparison Minetest is much easier for playing mods with family. Everyone downloads the server’s mods when they join. But the interest is lower.
@atzanteol All's good. Yea, reason for the post was that even though I took the partitions offline it wouldn't still let me resize. So I think the best next move would be just booting into a USB and see if it lets me.
The whole disk well, only the boot is separated. The rest of the partition has the whole space controlled by LVM. Interestingly even though that may be the setup something was just rejecting my resize request.
Sadly have more to say but Mastodon limit is hitting haha. nutshell
I love how sampling doesn’t only create new music but can also enrich its source, embedding the memory of more fantastic music in already fantastic tracks. #HipHop#sampling@vinylrecords
