the mastodon instance at cybre.space is retiring
for a lot of reasons, both personal and practical, i don't think i can effectively run a public mastodon instance any more, and i need to retire cybre.space. i want to do this responsibly and make sure everyone has a chance to migrate and export properly, so here is the plan for the instance retirement (feel free to share this link around): https://cybre.space/~chr/cybre-space-eol
due to ongoing moderation load issues and understaffing, between now and 1 november, the instance may be undermoderated. for other instances, if this poses an issue for you, i encourage you to use federation tools at your discretion. i would only ask that you be clear and public about your decisions so that cybre.space users can figure out where they will be able to migrate their accounts.
thank you
I want to sew my own clothes because I'm fat, but being fat also seems to hinder access to useful resources.
Because finding clothes of any sort is... Well, it feels impossible? Unless I want to waste money on buying clothes online. Since they never fit but are too much of a pain to return.
I wanted to start figuring out how to sew my own. And I feel like there's just not enough resources for fat people to learn how to design patterns for our bodies?
Like, I already can't wear straight sizes. And a lot of sewing patterns stop below my size. And I have no idea how to grade beyond that or to make something that accommodates a body that is not anywhere near a 'straight' size.
So I guess if you have resources for anything like this? Like, good ones. Not just the socially acceptable "curvy" (e.g., has boobs but is otherwise straight sized) but like actual fat body sizes. Would love it.
Happy #Hackers day, my fellow Hackers lovers!
Alright... Sandman, let's go!
Thoughts? Complaints? Exclamations of awe?
What's the strangest thing you've ever found in a book?
"In a landmark series of calculations, physicists have proved that black holes can shed information, which seems impossible by definition. The work appears to resolve a paradox that Stephen Hawking first described five decades ago."

celebrity death (Nichelle Nichols), twitter link

"The legendary Nichelle Nichols has died at 89.
Her son Kyle announced the news of her passing.
Nichols was a trailblazer.
She was one of the first Black actors to play a major role on a television series and the type of role she had on Star Trek was groundbreaking."
As long as someone's name is remembered, they're not truly gone.
And let me tell you, she *will* be remembered.
noch wer in berlin grade interessiert an einem #balkonkraftwerk? Will 2 Solarpanels kaufen, aber geht erst ab 5 Stück, könnten uns zusammentun … #plsrt
Krasse Geschichte. Die Abtreibungspille #Mifepriston kann auch, pauschal wöchentlich oder gar nur monatlich genommen, eine hormonfreie Verhütungspille sein, »More amazingly, it also has the potential to treat endometriosis and fibroids and maybe even prevent breast cancer.« Und all das mit bisher keinen signifikanten Nebenwirkungen.
The ‘abortion pill’ could also be birth control — and activists are trying to prove it
Alright, after DAYS and many theories about what this might have been, I've connected to the internet again!
Many many thanks to all of you, especially @malte who had the correct idea about the culprit. Spoiler alert, it was not any software update. Opinions about this v welcome
Love me a good riddle, but glad I've resolved it: the ProtonVPN app (for Linux) has a permanent killswitch enabled, and on top of that it seems their ipv6leaks protection just cuts the connection altogether. Since I couldn't log onto the app either (bc... issues?) I killed everything, deleted everything, and will get a different VPN^^
Just looked up this video and I miss being around queer people so much. This whole shit pandemic, nothing has been worse for me.

In English: after an update this morning my laptop will not connect to the internet (via wifi or cable); it's not the router. I suspect that the update was a bios update which doesn't support ubuntu 20.04 (only 16.04 is listed), so am wondering if that wrecked my machine, and if so, what can I do other than roll back the update for a previous version? Does anyone know more about this?
Wer kennt sich denn mit BIOS + Ubuntu aus?
Mein Lappi will seit dem system update heut morgen keine Internetverbindung mehr machen. Alles ok mit Router, aber es geht netmal per Kabel oder Handy etc. Einfach 100% package loss bei ping.
Ich vermute, dass vl beim heutigen Update eine neue BIOS Version aufgespielt wurde, und laut Herstellerseite unterstützt die Ubuntu 16.04 - ich habe aber 20.04. Und ich habe die current version. (Laut log ist das letzte 'andere' Update auch am Donnerstag gewesen, daher mein Verdacht wg BIOS).
Glaube so langsam hab ich fast alles andere ausgeschlossen, könnte es das sein? Und kann ich da was anderes machen außer die Version zurückfahren?
Vielen Dank im Voraus, und #boostswelcome!
