Agreed! :lw: It’s such a cute critter!

I adore VLC.

I’ve been using Linux Mint for almost a year and a half now: would recommend it to anyone ready to make a jump into Linux and away from Windows. It’s quite friendly.

I’m also quite enjoying Sonarr to keep track of some older television shows that I enjoy.

I enjoy that Mr. Torvalds is referred to as an “emperor penguin.”

That is all.

Followed!

I’ve now made a repository on GitHub, so that you can download the graphics and use them for your communities and projects. There’s even an Etsy store selling stickers now.

Alright! I picked up a pack, and two extra “Logo World Circles”. I’m looking forward to seeing the graphics I assisted with as stickers, @cheeseblintzes@lemmy.world! Not 100% where I’ll be putting them, but they’ll be placed somewhere…

Oh yeah.

This is going on the fridge…

My home server is a Ubuntu install on a 2017 laptop. A lot of guides have been very useful.

I installed several other tools, with Portainer, for a variety of imaged applications. With various containers I installed Jellyfin (for hosting old videos and converted media of mine), Calibre (for a digital library of textbooks from my history degree) and a few other tools. I’ve been half-tempted to host some WordPress sites, but I have yet to figure out nginx…

There is this guy who killed 40,000 elephants because he thought it’d improve the environment.

His name was Allan Savory.

Anyways, it was a poor decision, which harmed the natural regrowth of grasses in Africa. And probably contributed to drought and poor soil conditions there. Sadly, he has been regarded as an expert and heralded as an environmentalist par excellance. So, less of a stupid prize for him than a poor prize for humanity writ-large.

History, my friend.

History.

Awww, man.

Now I’m sad.

Thanks a lot, @orion2145. Not cool.

For the original effort on Mastodon, the Little Big Planet vibe was indeed an inspiration. The ‘hand made’ aesthetic is a really neat way to share that a place is being created and made by its users, and having it be a tangible, almost print or paper product, I felt it touched that key cultural element of both Lemmy and the work of the fediverse/activitypub.

Oh dear. Now that you mention it, I kinda see it too. Thanks for the flag: I’m… going to give it a think about how to shift it so that… isn’t there. Maybe in the second version.

Oh, what a wonderful addition! That’s a cutey if I’ve ever seen one @p1mrx@lemmy.world!

It makes sense to go for simpler.

Also, the banners might need some extra work, as I think the various community pages might need a level of customization to reflect their local work (ie: listing the /c/support url).

I’m pretty hyped. I still have some edits to do and items to add/shift, and to send over to Ruud later. But this is going both on the fridge and into the resume! 🤣

Good edit. Thing is, I think there’s some compression going on in the backend, so even with an .SVG file, it might be somewhat complicated.

I’m going to probably make a quick GitHub page for the editing files with an .SVG, so the mod team, admin team and community managers can access all the files and edit them to spec.

But you’re right: the pixelation on the edges is causing my artist OCD to flare up. Good suggestion, Margot!

Oh! I got a shoutout on Mastodon.

With all of the bits and bobs in flux, it’s all good. I’m already noted on the Mastodon instance and on the blog, and for other projects, so it’s all good.

We’re probably due for a monthly update in late July, when things quiet down and things get sorted. So, I think a shoutout makes the most sense then (or maybe later).
