Oh, I just remembered, I need to fire up my travel network rig and update the firmware and software. Also, I ran the battery for about 5 hours last night while at the Selectboard meeting, so it needs to be recharged. That took me down to 63% capacity, which is not bad.
Still, if I were making this again, instead of one 25 Ah powerbank, I'd use two smaller ones, since this one powerbank cannot power the two devices and be charged at the same time.
YEP. Wrong address again. That means the router config was completely wiped. Fortunately, it wasn't a very complex config, so it will only take a minute to fix, but I shouldn't have to. Thanks, tp-link.
Strangely, the WIFI SSID and passkey settings were retained, but the IP settings were reverted to the factory default.

Okay, sports fans, I've restored 4.3.9 on my private server. Yay!
The problem was that I had updated ruby. That caused local extensions to not be found. The solution was to do this:
gem pristine --all
and enjoy a cup of coffee. The errors stopped, everything was happy again, & I restarted the servers.
I'll pin this one on both servers for a while to spread the solution for "Source locally installed gems is ignoring [whatever] because it is missing extensions."

If you're looking for #xkcd comics on the Fedi, my recommendation is @xkcd. It has the comics, the "title text" (the little bonus joke you usually get when hovering with your mouse over the comic), _and_ pretty good alt texts. And the "What If" videos, too.
One thing its alt texts lack is the names of the characters, like "Cueball", "Megan", or "Black Hat". The "Transcript" section on explainxkcd.com/ is slightly better in that regard.

2. Bukan semua ahli kitab memusuhi Islam, Allah masih lagi menggelar mereka sebagai alhi kitab. Yang perlu berhati-hati ialah yang kafir dikalangan mereka. Kafir di sini bermaksud mereka yang telah tahu kebenaran Islam tetapi tetap tidak mahu menerimanya. Golongan kedua yang Allah mahu para sahabar berhati-hati ialah kaum musyrikin seperti musyrikin Mekah. Mereka yang yang pertama menentang Islam sehinggakan nabi saw dan sahabat berhijrah ke Madinah.

The image depicts a scene during twilight, with a sky transitioning from a light blue to soft pink and white hues, indicating the sun is setting. The clouds are scattered, with some areas appearing denser than others. In the foreground, several cars are parked, with their silhouettes visible against the dimming light. The cars are mostly dark-colored, with one appearing to be a reddish-brown. Behind the cars, there are buildings with visible rooftops, including a house with a tiled roof and a white wall. Utility poles with power lines stretch across the scene, adding to the urban setting. The overall atmosphere is calm and quiet, with the fading light suggesting the end of the day.

Amid Ukraine weapons debacle, Trump claims he 'would know' about any decision to halt shipments

There is but a chasm between you and me, as you are you and well I am me, a disabled man existing in poverty I am but trapped in a void of eternal despair, and you well you find it amusing to ignore my pleas for help, you find enjoyment in my suffering and my struggles, you take solace it is me and not yet you, but you fail to see, that you are me and soon you too will find no one will care for you the way you love to ignore and deny me the dignity of life;
It is really sad that a #disabled man exists in #poverty and has to beg for help to buy #food but instead goes hungry because people are to heartless to help. $5-10-15-25-50-100, via #cashapp at $woctxphotog or via #paypal at paypal.com/donate?campaign_id=…

ok ... i think i'm ... back after a few hours?
attempted the big scary 4.4 #mastodon update on my personal instance that broke my server last time
it broke it again. but i think i managed to fix the endless redirect loops
i was originally serving http from the mastodon nginx server and reverse proxying Caddy https over the top and for some reason that wasn't working with this new version even though it worked perfectly before
oh well. hi everyone again 👋
Oh and I totally forgot to post how I fixed it. Basically I enabled https on the Mastodon NGINX with self-signed SSL certificates, then added this to my Caddy config:
```
transport http {

@sven Das Bild zeigt ein schwarzes T-Shirt mit einem auffälligen Design. Auf dem T-Shirt ist ein cartoonartiger Einhorn gezeichnet, das mit verschränkten Armen sitzt und ein leicht genervtes Gesichtsausdruck hat. Das Einhorn hat ein farbenfrohes, regenbogenfarbenes Haar und einen weißen Körper. Über dem Einhorn sind kleine Striche zu sehen, die eine Art von Ausdruck oder Emotion darstellen. Unter dem Einhorn steht der Text "'NEN SCHEISS MUSS ICH" in weißer Schrift. Das Design kombiniert ein humorvolles und etwas provokantes Element, was durch die Kombination des Einhorns und des Textes erreicht wird.

in reply to Sky.Bit • • •The video features a small black kitten with striking blue eyes, sitting on a light-colored bedspread. The kitten is positioned in the center of the frame, facing the camera, and appears to be looking directly at it. The background is a plain, light-colored wall, providing a simple and unobtrusive backdrop. The kitten's fur is sleek and shiny, and its ears are perked up, indicating alertness. The lighting in the room is soft and warm, creating a cozy atmosphere. Throughout the video, the kitten remains mostly stationary, with slight movements of its head and eyes, suggesting curiosity or attentiveness. The camera remains steady, focusing on the kitten, capturing its expressions and subtle movements. Towards the end of the video, the kitten moves out of the frame, and the camera captures a brief, blurry image of what appears to be a fried egg, adding an unexpected and humorous element to the scene.
