The and are experiencing some recent growing pains. There is a risk that developments could lead to the network fracturing into walled gardens of individual communities that are isolated from each other. There are also people who want to assert centralized control over the network. These dangers are described and a bold solution is proposed here:

@pixelfed Pixelfed allows larger image files than Mastodon and other Fediverse platforms. So how does that work with federation to non-Pixelfed servers? For example, are down-scaled image previews generated by Pixelfed or Mastodon? Is there a guide to these types of questions somewhere?

The Fediverse could be awesome, if we don't screw it up! The Electronic Frontier Foundation is publishing a series on Mastodon and the broader Fediverse. It includes some great information about why it's awesome, how it all works, and how to use it safely and effectively. Here's the first one!

Mastodon isn't great for photos. It works well enough for attaching an image (or a few) to a post, but it lacks most of the features that a dedicated photo sharing platform would have.

Fortunately, is a dedicated photo sharing platform built around the open standards of the Fediverse. This means that people on Mastodon can follow your Pixelfed account.

Photo tips for Mastodon:

1) Add a text description for accessibility purposes. They work with screen readers.
2) If you think someone might not want to see it, because it's a scary spider or something, blur it with a content warning.
3) Minimize file sizes, because your server has to store them. I think the hard limit is 8 MB, but I've found 1280x960 pixel jpegs come in around 300-400 KB and look pretty good. Mastodon caps display size at 1,638,400 square pixels (1280x1280) in any case.

Started binge-watching on Netflix with Marcia yesterday. I haven't read the original comic book by @neilhimself, but it's high on my list now. The show is so good. Dark and moody, it's visually stunning and the musical score by David Buckley is wonderfully affective. The cast is fabulous, staring Tom Sturridge as a very emo (sometimes comically so) Dream and a stellar supporting cast including @stephenfry. I'm only dreading finishing the series, because I don't want it to be over.

I'm reading now: The Book of Delights, by Ross Gay.

I didn't realize when I picked up The Book of Delights that it is a daily gratitude journal in essay form, a delightful coincidence since I had just started my own daily practice of journaling gratitude. Okay, we can split hairs over whether delight and gratitude are synonyms, but they're close enough for me to enjoy the coincidence and to expand my own ideas about what gratitude can be. Read . Your life will be richer for it.

Snakes


On my way home from Durango today I nearly ran over a Great Basin gophersnake. It was crossing La Posta Road (how far south of town is it called that?) and as it was all stretched out I barely managed to straddle it with the truck's tires. I turned around and pulled over to get it off the road, and was relieved that I hadn't flattened either end. It told me that it was big and scary and definitely venomous (it's not).

Another thing that article does very well is representing the state of the science. Short story: Climate scientists are in agreement that at some point unabated global warming would cause the AMOC to collapse with rapid and dramatic consequences for the environment. There is some disagreement about whether it's already collapsing and perhaps too late to stop.

Earth's climate is the result of a complex system, with interactions between oceans, atmosphere, and even geology. Complex systems can be like boats, deceptively stable until they reach a tipping point where the overall behavior changes abruptly to land in a new stable position. This article in the NYTimes beautifully illustrates how changing Atlantic currents could flip our climate in a way that could be impossible to reverse on a human time scale. nytimes.com/interactive/2021/0

With the arrival of at least a second red-winged blackbird to the valley, the singing to stake out territory and attract mates has begun in earnest. I heard the first song three days ago, sounding uncharacteristically hesitant and intermittent, then it went quiet until this morning. Now the calls are persistent and full-throated. I wonder whether there is an advantage, besides saving energy, for a male not to sing until others have started claiming nearby territory?
