  1. Asking the Mastodon hive mind: does anyone know why the Blogger dashboard stopped updating over the past six or seven days? At first I thought it was only the 'NSFW' blogs (for whatever puritan value they tag some blogs that way), but no, it's ALL blogs I follow.

  25. I think I am a blogger now. An AI content creator. An affiliate. It's just like TikTok, where people post interesting content and build a community, except my approach is on self-hosted infrastructure and some ready-to-deploy platforms or software.

  26. If I Don’t Get the Years, I Want the Minutes

    Berry and I have lived our life side by side for nearly fifteen years now. Not “most of the time” .... We stay together. When we work, we work together. When we run errands, we run them together. When we go for a drive, we both get in the car or truck. Some people might look at us and think it’s too much - too close, too constant, too together. But they don’t live our life. They don’t know our story. They don’t know what I've lost, or how fast I've seen life can change. Some […]

  27. Hi, I'm Christin. (aka Criz or Chrislo)

    #trans #activist, #politician, #feminist, #blogger, #author, #tutor, #teacher, #sexworker and a proud, post-op trans* #woman living near the Black Forest (Schwarzwald), Germany.

    Three things you'll see me do here a lot: yell about antifascism (always), boost #queer and trans voices (also always), and talk shop about #linux, open source, self-hosting and the Fediverse.

    I run Linux everywhere I can since 1998. Daily driver is CachyOS (Arch-based) with KDE Plasma on Wayland, my phone is a #Fairphone, and the only proprietary OS in this house lives in the car. Open source isn't just code to me, it's a way of pushing back against systems that treat users as products.

    I write, I argue, I organize. Antifascism isn't a hobby, it's a baseline. My blog runs mostly in German with a voice somewhere between Wut und Kraft, because I refuse to be polite about people who want us gone.

    I founded and run lsbt.me, a #Mastodon instance for #queer and #LGBTQ folks and their allies. A space to exist loudly, safely, and without apology.

    I also build #FediSuite, an open-source (GPL-3.0) management platform for the entire Fediverse. Multi-account, smart composer, scheduling, thread-splitting, analytics, accessibility, plugin system. Supports #Mastodon, #Pixelfed, #Vernissage, #Misskey, #PeerTube and more.
    fedisuite.com · app.fedisuite.com · liberapay.com/fedisuite

    When I step away from the keyboard, I'm in my self-sufficiency garden (beans, kohlrabi, potatoes, strawberries, fruit trees), tinkering with #HomeAssistant and #ESPHome, or trying to shrink my CO₂ footprint one decision at a time.

    More about me, including TV documentaries:

    This is all me. All of it.

  28. Jazz de la luciernaga

    Hogar, hogar,
    ¿de dónde vengo? ¿a dónde voy?
    si sigo volando, ¿tendré a dónde regresar?
    ¿podré volver o retornar?
    Hogar, hogar,
    no sé si quiera ir allá,
    o aquí,
    o seguir y encontrar.

    Déjà vu, déjà vu,
    ¿será que marcas la X?
    ¿será que aquí es donde debo estar?
    Déjà vu, déjà vu,
    se siente bien y me quiero quedar,
    o seguir e ir allá,
    ¿es este el camino?
    ¿allá es donde me esperará?

    Cerré los ojos,
    luciérnaga se puso a pensar,
    a soñar, a escuchar,
    luciérnaga,
    aunque en total oscuridad,
    pudo dibujar,
    creó su hermoso atardecer,
    con ecos de sonrisas, con ecos de canciones,
    ecos de lluvia, ecos de recuerdos,
    luciérnaga se puso a escribir.

    Hogar, hogar,
    es ella su propio hogar,
    Déjà vu, déjà vu,
    sabe que es real y está donde quiere estar,
    ecos y ecos,
    luciérnaga pudo soñar.

    -BeatrizR

    • Jazz de la luciernaga Hogar, hogar, ¿de dónde vengo? ¿a dónde voy? si sigo volando, ¿tendré a dónde regresar?
    • Mi forma de escribir siempre ha sido la simpleza de mis cicatrices y yo, mis estaciones y yo, mis lágrimas y yo, mis sonrisas y yo, la simplicidad de mis demonios, mis amores, mis versos y yo.

    • Luciernaga ya no es la misma Ya estaba rota, antes de volar sobre el océano, esta luciérnaga ya estaba agotada, y un poco desorientada, tenía algo atorado en la garganta, algo que me apretaba el pecho, mi nombre parecía llevar otras letras

  29. A Look Back at Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire #3 (1996)

    Disclaimer: This is my original work with details sourced from reading the comic book and doing personal research. Anyone who wants to use this article, in part or in whole, needs to secure first my permission and agree to cite me as the source and author. Let it be known that any unauthorized use of this article will constrain the author to pursue the remedies under R.A. No. 8293, the Revised Penal Code, and/or all applicable legal actions under the laws of the Philippines.

    Welcome back science fiction enthusiasts, 20th century pop culture enthusiasts, Star Wars fans and comic book collectors! Today we go back to the year 1996 to examine the 3rd chapter of a very notable Star Wars storyline that took place between the films The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the JediShadows of the Empire!  

    With the first two issues of Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire released (click here and here), the overall concept of the storyline has firmly been set and with sub-plots moving. This includes characters and developments that were not reflected nor referenced at in Return of the Jedi. At this stage, there is both excitement and suspense to look forward to.

    With those details laid down, here is a look back at Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire #3, published in 1996 by Dark Horse Comics with a story written by John Wagner and drawn by Kilian Plunkett. This is the 3rd chapter of the 6-issue mini-series.  

    The cover.

    Early story

    The story begins with the gang of Gizman – including the newcomer Jix – who visit Jabba The Hutt in his palace for an important meeting. After expressing doubt about Jix, Jabba tells the gang that he is aware of Luke Skywalker’s presence in Tatooine and he has been signed near the former dwelling of Ben Kenobi. Jabba finds Skywalker more valuable to him dead. A short time later, Jix asked why does Jabba want Skywalker dead when Darth Vader will on pay for him to be living. This causes a bit of tension within the gang.

    With R2D2 present with him at Obi-Wan’s old place, Luke Skywalker completed his brand-new lightsaber. Suddenly a laser blast almost hits them both and Luke realizes that the gang (which just met Jabba) is fast approaching them. The laser blast came from Jix who was told to hold his fire. Moments later, Luke takes down the first gang member who arrived using his new lightsaber…

    Quality

    Having the frozen Han Solo makes Boba Fett a target of those who want the prize.

    Like issue #2, the intrigue and twists kept on happening as the pay-offs to the previous issue’s build-up got executed. Indeed, the story here moved Shadows of the Empire’s concept forward gradually and what was shown is both entertaining and engaging.

    You will see here Luke Skywalker’s first-ever use of his then new green-colored lightsaber (the same one in Return of the Jedi) as he becomes a target of Jabba The Hutt who has a violent gang targeting him. Dash Rendar, arguably a creative stand-in for Han Solo in this storyline and also the playable protagonist in the Nintendo 64 video game, becomes even more important as he took the risk of involving himself with Luke as the gang attacked. The interaction between Dash and Luke here is believable to follow and makes a lot of sense within the context of this storyline.

    What I found captivating here was the scene in which Darth Vader actually (and bravely) objected to Emperor Palpatine’s plan. The scene was pretty short but it was a powerful display of tension and even division between them. Along the way, Prince Xizor remains relevant with regards to the potential events waiting to happen while more of Boba Fett’s struggle being targeted (as the frozen body of Han Solo is a very valuable prize for other bounty hunters) by others was dramatized nicely.

    Conclusion

    Luke Skywalker, Dash Rendar and R2D2.

    Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire #3 (1996) succeeded in moving the story developments forward while ending up being entertaining enough. The speed bike chase in Beggar’s Canyon along was exhilarating to see and the dramatic moments of the sub-plots had impact. Right now, I am convinced to keep on reading more of Shadows of the Empire.

    Overall, Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire #3 (1996) is recommended.

Along the way, Prince Xizor remains relevant with regards to the potential events waiting to happen while more of Boba Fett’s struggle being targeted (as the frozen body of Han Solo is a very valuable prize for other bounty hunters) by others was dramatized nicely.

    Conclusion

    Luke Skywalker, Dash Rendar and R2D2.

    Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire #3 (1996) succeeded in moving the story developments forward while ending up being entertaining enough. The speed bike chase in Beggar’s Canyon along was exhilarating to see and the dramatic moments of the sub-plots had impact. Right now, I am convinced to keep on reading more of Shadows of the Empire.

    Overall, Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire #3 (1996) is recommended.

  33. Mi forma de escribir

    Me gusta mi forma de escribir.
    Aunque llena de símbolos y metáforas,
    siempre ha sido la simpleza de mis cicatrices y yo,
    mis estaciones y yo,
    mis lágrimas y yo,
    mis sonrisas y yo,
    en la simplicidad de mis demonios,
    mis amores,
    mis versos y yo.

    Sin embargo, con el paso de los años,
    dentro de estas líneas que tanto amo,
    descubrí que hay cierto temor oculto entre símbolos.

    Hay rasgos de alguna clase de escudo
    que envuelve cada historia.

    A pesar de siempre profesar la transparencia de mis escritos,
    he notado que no es tan fácil acceder a la verdad,
    no es sencillo descubrir la realidad de cada historia,
    cada emoción plasmada en mis poemas.
    Y realmente lo siento, me disculpo.

    Ha sido difícil dibujar todos mis colores sin máscaras.
    Aunque estén allí, aunque permanezcan allí,
    admito que siempre he tenido mucho miedo
    de que descubran con facilidad mi vulnerabilidad,
    todo aquello que amo con locura
    y todo lo que me aterroriza grandemente,
    todo lo que guardo en mis silencios
    y todo lo que atesoro
    y no he querido perder.

    Así que durante estos años
    solo fui lo más transparente que podía ser.

    Me gusta todo lo que he escrito hasta ahora,
    porque les he entregado mi alma en cada palabra,
    aunque las hayan leído o no.

    Y a pesar de que difícilmente descubrieran
    la verdad detrás de cada verso,
    allí estaba toda mi verdad,
    de cada época,
    cada estación,
    cada parte de mí y de mi historia,
    pasando letra por letra
    sobre la película que ha sido mi vida.

    Pero perdón, porque recién me doy cuenta
    de que mi transparencia decidía usar una máscara
    para evitar que me descubrieran con facilidad,
    para evitar a toda costa
    que tuvieran acceso a mis miedos más profundos,
    simplemente para protegerme
    de todo lo que los creo capaces.

    Aunque ahí está todo,
    difícilmente descifrable.

    Si me lees, encontrarás quién soy
    y quién he sido,
    qué siento y qué he sentido.

    Todo de mí:
    mi vida,
    mis sentimientos,
    mis pensamientos.

    Allí está todo de mí,
    aquí está todo de mí.

    Pero me disculpo
    por esconder mi yo vulnerable,
    aunque podrían encontrarlo.

    Perdón por no ser tan transparente y
    que deban esforzarse para encontrar entre estas líneas
    a la verdadera yo.

    -BeatrizR
