  • Apropos of nothing, I’d like to see a mod done to the fediverse… Each user keeps their own info pod, and fedi sites can use that to populate profiles.

    Migration is the largest hurdle in the fedi for users, instances change/shut down/federate with Meta without warning, etc.

    Would be great to have one’s info on one’s own drives, go to other mastodon site that didn’t e.g. manipulate its users into being on Meta and just plug in.

    Images could also be stored this way, so copyright and provenance is straightforward. When user moves, so does all that.

    Then a lemmy, (x)bin, piefed instance becomes just a place to park and not a captive zoo.

    I think that the fediverse should offer a compelling improvement over commercial SM,: For me self-custody and easy migration are the things.





  • My dad broke the cycle. Late in life he told me a story about myself.

    We were in a park. I ran up and asked for something and he said no. I ran off and then came back, asking again but in some other way, this time he let ne do whatever it was.

    His mother, a deeply religious schoolteacher, was sitting nearby, and after I ran off she criticized him for changing his mind, told him parents should never do that.

    I think he told me that story for at least one reason.

    Any person’s awareness can benefit others.




  • Too cute for me to put under a building. But you do you.

    Moved classrooms, homes, offices, etc. up to 15’ wide on highways.

    Theres the building, a metal frame under it with wheels that’s permanently attached, thats all I’ve seen. I’ve helped the install crew level and set them, helped yank old school rooms out between utility stuff that grew up around them for decades.

    I’ve seen is very old ones that were set decades ago with the tires rotted to shreds with rats running out when it started to move, those needed replacing.

    I carried a row of fresh wheels/tires and a lot of jacks in various heights on my toter, which got stocked every day because i used them up.

    Maybe you’re talking about house trailers?
