"It's a complex issue, in that it's partly real, but partly imaginary..."

A reminder that #Google is evicting the early adopters of its #GoogleWorkspace service (formerly known as #GoogleSuite aka #GSuite née #GoogleApps), who were still on the 'lifetime' #free legacy plan aimed at families, small communities and small businesses:

Free will always turn out to be #freemium and bite me in the arse.

(Yes, no need to tell me I should've known or to remind me to #deGoogle. Please keep that for your own posts rather than at-replies.)

when i was a kid, i thought "the fair folk" were the carnies that run the renaissance faire

@stux I was wondering if it was a fake, and I found an article giving more details about this (true) story:
https://metro.co.uk/2022/01/10/the-bizarre-story-of-how-a-gorilla-suit-was-smuggled-onto-the-iss-15892428/

Astronaut Mark Kelly once smuggled a full gorilla suit on board the International Space Station. He didn't tell anyone about it. One day, without anyone knowing, he put it on... #ISS

Introducing my extensible Gemini/Titan server:

skyjake.fi:1965 now runs on GmCapsule, a Python-based #Gemini server that I recently started working on.

OK, this got way more complicated and should've been a blog post.

So: building a personal #IndieWeb capable gallery of my sociallly-shared photos from various sources, keeping it light, pulling in new posts automatically (#PESOS) and eventually posting on my gallery and auto-posting it to Pixelfed/Twitter/Flickr/etc. (#POSSE) on a per-photo basis. Probably using #eleventy.

Anyone have any recommendations on tools that might be better than WP/11ty, or that would work well with this workflow?

"How I Got Pwned by My Cloud Costs" by Troy Hunt https://www.troyhunt.com/how-i-got-pwned-by-my-cloud-costs/

Stories like this make me a bit afraid to switch to things like lambda functions. Sometimes it's preferable for a service to go down rather than cost you $10k.

Two pairs of ducks and three geese seen at the marsh yesterday. (That almost sounds like a card hand with a weird deck.)

Just found out my new favorite stonehenge picture, taken by Bill Brandt in 1957
