Gestern war "International Transgender Day of Visibility". Ich persönlich halte wenig von solchen "Feiertagen", denn ich bin das ganze Jahr über Sichtbar.

That being said, es gibt trans Menschen, denen geht es wesentlich schlechter als mir und die brauchen diese Sichtbarkeit. Allen voran dieser junge Mann hier, der Familienmitglied einer befreundeten Person von mir ist.

Two of the BPU’s most committed organisers are at breaking point after a traumatic 18 months. These are good, hardworking people who have given everything to the community, and right now, they need the community to have their backs.

A recent act of financial abuse has left them in crisis, forcing them to cover urgent costs for accommodation, relocation, and medical needs. We’re aiming to raise $10,000 to help them regain stability.

Please donate what you can and share this fundraiser widely. Solidarity is everything.

A little group I am part of has its own server. It hosts our website and a nextcloud instance. It is on a Hetzner machine. OK so far so good. The problem is that the person who set it up has left and I am the only one foolish enough to try to maintain it. The problem though is that I don't know how.

It is still running Debian Buster. I tried to follow a guide to at least upgrade it to bullseye, but something breaks. I think that it is something to do with its network configuration. This is mostly because I saw a comment that said if you are using a KVM Host with bridged networking, then you need to add bridge_hw eth0 (or whatever your network interface is called) to your network config otherwise the network won't start and you won't be able to reach the server. Weirdly I can SSH in after the upgrade, but the console shows lots of networky error messages and the website and nextcloud become unreachable.

Fine, I doubt any one will be able to help from that error description, but maybe you can point me at a foolproof guide to upgrading. I can't find one in the Hetzner docs.

"Our EMS number that was free is now $250 a month plus extra if we go over 5 calls.
This is a new and unexpected expense for us. This is the number we have to call to send ems to an overdose. It is no longer free for us. Our first month also has extra set up fees.
Everything we do at NUA is volunteer except for a couple of unhoused volunteers who get paid $5 a call. Our volunteers spend a lot of time and love for NUA. Please help out if you can ♡

THREE Ways to give below

1. We've set up a crowdfunding page at https://givebutter.com/never-use-alone
If you can help financially, we appreciate it. If you cannot, please share the page so that others may be able to.

2. We have a merch store at https://merch.neverusealone.com. We get a certain amount of each sale.

3. On our Facebook page, you can "subscribe" for $5 a month. Each person that subscribes, is basically sponsoring 1 phone call a month. 1 subscription = 1 person paid to answer 1 call. With around 22k followers, if even 5% of you subscribed at 4.99 a month, that would pretty much cover it!

Thank you everyone!"

I used to be... I want to say 'good' or 'better' at meditation but I feel as though that goes against the actual point of meditation. What I mean is, I used to find meditation easier and now I find it harder.

Does anyone have a good method they use or a video with guided meditation? Particularly interested in the Buddhist tradition (focused on lovingkindness) but open to others

The war has ended, and it is time to remove the rubble and rebuild the home that unites the family. We kindly ask for your support and for staying with us through this journey. Thank you!

We've gotten some requests saying it would be cool if #Pixelix was available in multiple languages.

Of course we are listening to your feedback! We have set up a #Crowdin project for the app where everyone can contribute.

Let's do this together!

If you were talking with someone who was centre-right, what would you suggest he reads/listens to for opening him up to "leftist" (for lack of a better term) ideas?

He's not politically aligned through any real political beliefs he holds personally, but because of the whole "I vote lib/nats because I'm a tradie and they work for tradies" that a lot of Australian men hold onto.

I have an opportunity to get him to start reading and listening to things, and am looking for suggestions.

please read and boost / help needed

So, the back of the yard is flooded.

My house is totally dry and fine.

It's about 5 to 6 inches deep in some spots. I'm going to have to go out and get a better look tomorrow.

I think I'll have to do something (?fuck knows what) about the standing water because of the risk of mosquitoes breeding in it.

(also, all this water fell in about 2 hours)

(also also, all the doors and windows are closed at the moment. I have the fan and the air conditioner on.. AND I CAN HEAR THE FRONGS OVER THE TOP OF IT, THAT'S HOW LOUD THEY ARE )

Do you fart?

Become a citizen scientist and chart your farts!

The CSIRO, Australia’s national science agency, is calling on the community to track their farts, to help scientists better understand the frequency and characteristics of one of the leading gut health symptoms experienced by Australians.

Does Bluesky have an algorithm?
Does it have advertising?

Is there any advantage to having an account there?

Opinions from queer, disabled, trans, Indigenous people super welcome (thanks!)

Good evening, #MastoArt community.

I am, once again, in need of #MutualAid to acquire a few #DazStudio resources.

$12 will suffice.

Assisting me in meeting my goal of $27 will lessen the sting of knowing that a rather large subsection of the nation I call home apparently hates Black people and, as I am a teacher as well, America is going to have no shortage of hell to put me through in 2025.

K thanks bye.

Question for drivers who have had trouble keeping to speed limits, especially those with adhd:

How do you teach yourself not to speed?

I got pulled over yesterday and got a ticket for speeding. It's my 4th in the almost 6 years I've been driving - although the other 3 have been for less than 10km over and was following the flow of traffic.

This one was for over 10km over.

I was passing someone who sped up as I was passing them, and I didn't notice I'd sped up so much to get past.

I've noticed that I'm more likely to speed when I haven't taken my ritalin, because I feel anxious being behind another car and not being able to see ahead of everything.

I also feel like I drive better if I don't take my ritalin, because my reflexes are faster and I'm taking in ALL the things around me instead of having a more narrow focus.. so I prefer not to take it if I'm going to do a long drive (yesterday was Bathurst to Sydney and back.. so like 8 hours).

I don't really have a sense of how fast I'm going, and I do check my speedometer but everytime I do that it's taking my eyes off the road so I can't be constantly looking at it.

_____

I don't want a lecture about the dangers of speeding. I KNOW.. it's literally why I'm asking, Chad. I was a nurse for a long time - I have literally seen what speeding does to people, probably more so than most.

I have two hours to find a way to pay this off before I get overdrafted again
