Vikings 🌌 🌐 @vikings@social.vikings.net

We recently announced that we won't post on Twitter.com any more.⚰️

We've been running our own #Mastodon instance in parallel, with a brief interruption (where all posts were deleted), for a few years now. Before that we ran GNU Social, which we abandoned in favor of Mastodon, and for a while before that we had a GNU Social guest account on the defunct quitter.se.

Let's hope that the newfound popularity of Mastodon will improve some parts I don't like. The update process for instance. /thum

A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing?

@fsf I couldn't find FSF coffee mugs and glassware in your shop - recently broke my FSFE cup which I wanted to replace with one minus the "E" 🙂 Consider selling some?

Wondering if the glue would become softer if the CPU was heated before attempting to lift the spreader.

How much heat can the CPU withstand before joining Valhalla?

#openPOWER #POWER9 CPU heat spreader removed.

CPU was destroyed in the process. Removal of said heat spreader is probably straightforward if you can guarantee a max. depth of cut.

#vikings #store Don't be the guy who doesn't write a product review after making a purchase/testing our services/products (it only takes 1 minute). You're helping a small free software company build a good track record and making it easier for others to make buying decisions. /thum
