Shower thoughts: Give people something to think about by putting braille dots onto the surface of avionics equipment.

There's some spicy database changes pending that should improve performance. SFX has mostly been running great, but we want to fix those few overload situations as soon as possible.

My hobby is to add the word "metric" in front of imperial units. Thanks to the metric pound they can never be sure if it's actually a thing or not.

We also have to resize the storage array from the beta sizing before going live, and fix a few other issues. But we're getting there! Expect more news soon! We know it took a while but the goal is in sight! Thanks for sticking with us ❤️ [2/2]

#SoFurryServerMoveUpdate We're in the process of fixing some important bugs before opening the site. SF2 users who never logged into SFX should now be able to recover their account if their password doesn't work (provided their email still works). [1/2]

I know we haven't been communicating enough about the recent progress in bringing #SoFurry back online - there's gonna be some updates in a few hours. We also have a dedicated sfx-discussions channel on Discord.

Every single update of Firefox now re-enables the sidebar. Time to switch to LibreWolf.

3) Backup server is up and running, has SF2 db loaded & working for the migration. This server will also get approx. $1000 worth of SSDs added once SFX is going. 4) Noticed the games changing every day on sofurry.com? Thanks! We know this takes longer but we wanna do this the right way [3/3]

2) Firewall is almost ready, after some issues initially, it seems to work now. We're gonna do some more testing just to be sure, then send it to the data center. If this firewall shouldn't work out, there is a fallback solution but that's an additional $1500 - which we try to prevent [2/3]

#SoFurryServerMoveUpdate 1) The SFX server gets moved soon. We've already received the neccessary network config information for the new data center. No concrete date yet, but we hope it's not much longer now [1/3]

Yesterday it was announced that GitHub's CEO resigned and GitHub would be folded into CoreAI. I got this email 10 minutes ago. Microsoft has updated the TOS of many of their products and it includes a large section on AI and the use of your "content".

We mourn the recent passing of @ofthewilds.bsky.social, one of the most prolific writers on SoFurry. You will be missed :(

Update regarding the down time: Still in the process of creating redundant off-site backups prior to the server move. The whole process until we're online again will take a few weeks. We will keep you updated on the progress. For everything else, please refer to the FAQ: www.sofurry.com/faq.html

REMINDER! Tomorrow around 12:00 AM CEST (in about 15 hours) the extended downtime will begin! And again: SoFurry 2.0 will be DEPRECATED! Read up on it in the quoted skeet.

PSA: If you're running a TerraMaster NAS and have qBittorrent installed - go and uninstall that immediately. This is getting exploited right now. Also check if there's any processes with random letters running that don't look familiar. playspoon.com/2025-06-02/

So I trained a nice HAL9000 voice for my local LLM and now it gives me this...

FYI, I am no longer on Twitter.

I seem to have misplaced my portal gun.

I liked #DunePart2, but it kinda took me out of the movie when the Emperor said that he killed the Atreides because Leto didn't have enough cowbell.

TIL that Microsoft not only keeps placing Edge onto your desktop and taskbar, but they also convert any Chrome or Firefox shortcuts you have on your desktop to Edge. Found out about this after my sister complained that gmail "is acting weird". A reminder that MS thinks it owns your PC.

It's disappointing to see OLight using fishy sales tactics like fake "sales". See screenshot before and during such a sale. The price never actually changes. Stay away from these companies.

Working on a little homage to the old microprose flight sims in Rust + Bevy. Trying to go for a similar look too, like the purple night sky and point light sources that never get smaller than a 320x200 VGA pixel. Got proportional navigation for guided missiles working too!

Doing quite a bit of Rust lately, and well... if you're a JS dev and you're not switching to Rust already, you should.
