Can you prove that one of your direct ancestors was a Canadian citizen? Congratulations, you may well be entitled to Canadian citizenship yourself. Not by immigration, but by registration.

I highly encourage my trans and queer followers who live in the US and have the option to claim Canadian citizenship by blood do so.

Question to the BookWyrm community:

I'm thinking of opening a BookWyrm account and after visiting joinbookwyrm.com, I'm unsure which instance to join.

My instinct is to avoid the mothership and join a smaller but not too small instance. Should I prioritize an instance with a current version of BookWyrm or one with a larger number of users? Or go with the mothership which has both?

Oh dear oh dear.
One comes back home and finds a nice AliExpress special to brighten his day... Evening. Whatever.

This nice lot of 10 relabeled 65C02 is totally useless. Not a single one works. It's not even that they're NMOS and not CMOS (as it usually happens). They're just... Something else. And they scraped all of them so diligently, bottom included, that there's no way to say what these were originally.

Return time, I guess.

Leave X - Protect Democracy @leavex

Which EU country will be the first to officially move its public institutions to a national Mastodon instance, bringing political debate to the Fediverse and away from disinformation platforms like X?

We know some national-level instances already exist (e.g. in Germany). The question is: who will make it a political decision, not just a technical one?

If you think of another country, add it in the comments 👇

Another photo composition created with the program I'm writing.

I like the contrast between the very monochromatic photo and the layer of rainbow-like colors.

Now I can not only export the image, but also the configuration to reproduce the image. The settings are also saved when closing the program and automatically loaded when starting it again, so I can continue where I left off.

A composition of three photos: a foggy forest without leaves reflected on water (most visible), the rainbow colors on a DVD seen through a photo of plant leaves.

Doing some bookshelf reorganizing. Operating systems and languages.

Two shelves of books. The top shelf is books about operating systems, with CP/M, BSD, Unix, VMS, and Xinu represented, followed by some texbooks on operating systems and a somewhat out of place programming encyclopedia. The lower shelf is programming language books, starting with various assembly languages (PDP-11 and VAX), then Algol 68, Applesoft, AWK, BASIC, C, C++, Forth, Icon, Lisp (lots of Lisp), ML, Prolog, Ruby, Scheme, POSIX shell, Smalltalk, Squeak, and a couple of books covering a variety of languages. Again, a somewhat out of place copy of Kernighan and Plauger's Software Tools closes out the shelf. Most of the books are late 1980s or older, although some thoroughly modern books such as Seibel's Practical Common Lisp and Hoyt's Let over Lambda do make an appearance. Nestled in in the middle of the top shelf are the edges of an original copy of the Lions Commentary, both volumes in UNSW covers, immediately beside a modern commercial reprint. You can't see it from here, but both the hardback version of The Unix Programming Environment and the second edition of The C Programming Language are signed by Brian Kernighan.

A close up of a tree mixed with a #photo of a #forest and a close up of a stone.

A feature I added today is the ability to drag and drop images into the program, which is great in combination of browsing photo thumbnails with my OS.

Next I'll add dropping video files and choosing a frame (in a recent trip I shot more videos than photos). The resolution will be lower, but when mixed with higher resolution layers it's probably fine.

An abstract photo resulting from combining three other photos. Low saturation, except a central shape tinted somewhat pink.

Fellow #3dprinting enthusiasts, what do you do with print waste? Brim, skirts, supports, failed prints?

I was optimistically collecting all the small bits and pieces with the hope that one day I'd recycle them, and separated them by filament color.

Nowadays my bin is overflowing, mixed colors, but it's not enough even for a single spool, and small pieces are starting to leak out everywhere...

Die Bullen missbrauchen erneut ihre Befugnisse. Konsequenzen wird das wie immer keine haben. Vielen Dank an die Grünen, dass sie bei der Palantirisierung der Staatsgewalt mitmachen.

Palantir-Einsatz in NRW: Polizei nutzt Software tausendfach Stand: 06.02.2026, 06:00 Uhr Der Einsatz der Polizei-Software von Palantir ist an strenge Vorgaben geknüpft. Trotzdem wurde sie in sechs Monaten mindestens 2000 Mal genutzt. Wie oft genau kann das NRW- Innenministerium aber gar nicht sagen.

Furniture.

A cartoon of three items of furniture. The first is a well-cushioned armchair, labelled 'easy chair'. The second is a wardrobe, only the doors are cut diagonally, and the doorknobs are right at the top and bottom of the doors, and is labelled 'difficult wardrobe'. The third is a rectangular coffee-table with a shelf underneath, but constructed like Escher's Belvedere, with the shelf at right-angles to the top; this is labelled 'impossible table'.

Hallo #Stuttgart und Umgebung: Entgegen aller Widrigkeiten habe ich einen Vertrag für ein Praxissemesterpraktikum bei euch in der Nähe unterschrieben. Die Unterkunft fehlt aber noch!

Deswegen suche ich eine Untermiete (Zeitraum: April bis August, begrüße aber jegliche sonstige/kürzere Vereinbarung - bestens Richtung Süd/Böblingen)

Boosts willkommen! (So könntest DU zeigen, dass dieses Fediversum Macht hat! Gleichzeitig kannst du mich auch helfen, auch wenn ich kein Ralph Ruthe bin! :BoostOK:)

Ein nicht-so-gut selbstgezeichneter Comic mit zwei Streifen. Der linke Streifen zeigt eine sichtlich glückliche Person mit der oberen Bildunterschrift: „Ich, bevor ich nach einer Wohnung innerhalb Deutschlands gesucht habe“. Der zweite zeigt eine sehr traurige Person – so traurig, dass ihr trauriger Mund bis zu ihren Händen reicht und wie eine extreme Variante von diesem Schnurrbart Salvador Dalis. Die Bildunterschrift lautet: „20 Sekunden später nachdem es mir klar wurde dass ich wahrscheinlich mein Pankreas für 5 Quadratmeter verkaufen werde“ (und dies würde nur für einen Monat der vertraglich vereinbarten zwei Jahre ausreichend sein). Meine persönliche Situation ist im Vergleich zur tatsächlichen Situation leicht übertrieben dargestellt.
