If the Pope is now considered part of the radical left, I think we need to look at just how far the overton window has moved.

@fesshole@mastodon.social If you want secrets and tweaked nipples, try your local BDSM club. Just as likely to be friend your local chief of police there too ...

Looking for WiFi enabled home thermometer that can sent the data to a self hosted dashboard. I'd like to be able to track the temperature in each room of my flat to see how I can optimise cooling without installing air conditioning. #question #solarpunk #ecology

@lokjo@mapstodon.space Sadly this is happening in a lot of places. I follow politics in France and the UK more closely than anywhere else and you can see the window has shifted very clearly to the right in my lifetime. I think it's happening in a lot of other places too.

Looking to buy a new monitor. Dell make some really nice ones with hubs build in, so even if you use a bunch of peripherals, you still only need to plug in one cable.

Anything like that by another company that isn't evil personified?

It amazes me how many people can't be arsed to use Signal instead of WhatsApp, when it's basically the same thing but not run by a shower of bastards.

@hllizi@hespere.de it's true my phrasing is a bit sloppy, but the point I was trying to make is about the overton window, not really about the pope.

@cameo007@rheinneckar.social @forgejo@floss.social @Codeberg@social.anoxinon.de It probably is lightweight enough, I guess I just said that because I was going to install gitlab and then read it was a big old ball of mud.

Going to self-host a git server for a few projects. Looking for something lightweight and secure.

Any suggestions?
