Last Seen Online is a nice (free) small horror themed puzzle game by @qwook.bsky.social, reminiscent of A Normal Lost Phone or Emily Is Away.
About 20mn of play time, and some nice trip down memory lane if you were a teenager using Windows XP and MSN during the 2000's.
(Thanks to #WeirdFuckingGames for bringing it to my attention)
Well, just a few hours after I posted the above, queer.party once again went down for what seemed an entire day. I think it's time to move. I have a backup account on famichiki.jp, but I am looking for #recommendations for a reliable and truly inclusive (anti-racist) #instance.
Did you listen to the new Propagandhi song "At peace" today already? https://song.link/s/1RCzGsb8Mg2y848NgwMK6Z
So, our less-than-ten-year old defective-from-the-factory Samsung cooker has bitten the dust. I'd like to hear from the bakers and chefs what ovens you've had, whether or not you like them, and SPECIFICALLY WHAT you like or dislike about them.
My own priorities are utility and reliability (the Samsung failed on both accounts). We do a lot of bread baking, as hot as possible (290 -- 315C / 550-600F), other baking anywhere from 120--230C (250--450F), as well as broiling and roasting.
Bread baking likes a steamy oven. The oven need not have a steam feature but should be able to hold steam if added (e.g., a pan on the oven floor). The unit as a whole must handle bread-baking temps without melting or damage (another massive fail of the Samsung).
Other nice-to-haves: convection, and settings for bread proofing and fruit/meat drying.
The range hobs should support a Moka pot, which requires burner grates that support a small-diameter vessel (6--10cm / 3--4 in). Closed-cross designs work, open-cross does not. (This is a curiously common failing of many cookers.)
Griddle and wok rings would be nice, but not necessary.
Gas range preferred (I know), "dual fuel" electric oven works.
Boosts appreciated.
Anybody have recommendations for external hard drives + thunderbolt (i.e. Mac compatible) for backup these days?
Brands/drives that are known to be reliable, foremost, but secondly also good speed if possible.
Expanding my Classical library. It needs more composers who are women and, in general, more people of colour.
My first addition is a 12th century composer, Hildegard von Bingen.
Recommendations are welcome.

New Sleep Token song. Brilliant.
Hey Mastonauts! 
I'm putting together a presentation on Mastodon and want to showcase some cool accounts. Could you drop your favorite follows below? Feel free to categorize them (e.g., tech, science, press) or just throw them my way! I'll compile a comprehensive list to share. Thanks in advance!

What's the most important thing to wear for winter running? Here's my friend Lois's must-have choice for running safely on ice and snow.

Does anyone have a good #NAS vendor recommendation?
Being able to offsite a backup with a friend is probably the most important feature for my requirements.
#Synology seems to be the best option, but based on some reading, I’m worried about their software eventually being put behind a subscription.
Any suggestions are welcome!
we're looking for recommendations for a continuous feed printer! boosts appreciated 
we're looking at setting up a simple home service where we can text/email the service and it prints the contents. thinking maybe like a receipt printer? preferable a smaller paper roll like that rather than letter sized. receipt quality is "good enough", though the ability to do slightly finer detail is a plus as well. don't mind buying used at all either. older might even be better
as for why, various disabilities in our home make certain types of tasks and lists *much* easier to manage when there's a hard copy of the item rather than something that disappears into the digital world.
Ich? Den neuen Propagandhi-Song mit Video gucken/hören.

Does anyone have any #recommendations for free #music production apps for #android that already comes with a decent set of default sound packs?
I haven't really attempted to make electronic music before and would really like to as it's my favorite genre.
I know a ton about music fundamentals, as I am an acoustic musician and sing, did choir, can read music, and have an advanced understanding of musical theory.
I just need to mess with something basic.

I'm curious -- what sources for music discovery do you have, aside from:
-- various social media
-- what your streaming provider recommends
-- bandsintown + similar local event listings
-- whatever is left of music blogging / press
... have you got?
and -- which platform has you lingering longest?
Hey world, I'm trying to read the news less obsessively, and I'd like to look into options for staying up to date on a more weekly or monthly basis.
Wants:
Printed infinitely preferred, not digital: I'll have a baby in July and I want to be less screen-bound
Source critical and left-leaning
Bonus if it can focus on positive news over doom-based headlines
I know that's wishing for the moon on a stick, but I thought I'd ask. I'm in the UK for reference.
I'm looking for podcast recommendations on: research in areas like sustainability, circular economy, post-growth, resource use/depletion, and more generally for green transitions. If you know of anything, I would love to hear about it!

Those who self host... how are you managing your fleet? Mine is growing and am currently doing manual SSH to run updates, etc.
What tools are out there that allow me to manage a fleet of Linux VMs? Not looking for anything fancy, but running upgrades would be great at a minimum. Thanks!
Sad news of Mozilla. It's time, finally, to delete Firefox.
Now I want to replace Thunderbird. It's been a battle recently, slow or freezing, unable to connect to the usenet server.
Yes, I still use Usenet. Not for binaries, but for the discussion groups. They are somewhat deserted now, but perhaps some of those who followed the lures of money-making platforms will return.
#Recommendations, please, for access to #Usenet?
