   From evan@cosocial.ca on Mastodon: Hi, friend! I hope things are going well for you at Hive/Post News/Substack Notes/T2/Blue Sky/Nostr. I'm writing because I think your path to survival is connecting to the fediverse. You can open up to millions of new users, and show them what makes your platform and your community special. If you want to talk about how to make that happen, please feel free to contact me. I want your light to shine bright to the entire Social Web.

   Yeah, so ... bought a new car today. It will take a few days for it to get registered, etc so we won't pick it up until after we finish traveling, so in about 9 days. Pretty excited to have a second electric vehicle!

   From leo@twit.social on Mastodon: I sincerely hope Threads follows through with their plan to federate. It will give other Fediverse users a controlled pipeline to the zeitgeist. By judiciously following Threaders here we’ll be able to have safe access to the people, news, and brands we could never convince to use Mastodon without having to submerse ourselves into the massive, undifferentiated flood of info over there. This is a good thing, yes?

   Did the upgrade of our # Mastodon instance to the latest stable release today. Made a mess of my private branch in my local git clone, but recovered nicely and all seems well... FOR NOW.

    Are you seeing this poll right now? (a simple test of our Mastodon instance)

    I’m a physicist. Last week’s gravitational waves announcement sent me reeling. https://www. washingtonpost.com/opinions/20 23/07/06/gravitational-waves-new-view-universe/ Opinion by Katie Mack at the # PerimeterInstitute

    Anybody else in the fediverse on Mastodon have the problem where images from other site feeds are listed as "Not Available"? They can only be seen by clicking on them and going to the remote site. This HAS to be a setting on my own server. But I have not been able to find it. Advice welcome. Looking for input from active Mastodon site admins and/or developers. There was an issue on this from 2020 but it claims to be resolved. I am using the latest stable server release.

    Had an awesome 12 hour shift in the underground lab yesterday. Took time to visit the future site of the # PICO -500 experiment. It will be constructed inside this water shield tank, formerly home to the MINICLEAN # darkmatter search experiment. https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/13e43e9cee837974a0e57ca319a8d9a4a178271a134fcd9b7fe0c12c32f36feb/view

    Since there are a bunch of # new folks in the # fediverse since a week ago, perhaps a re- # introduction is useful to help people connect with # scientists I am a # physicist , # Professor of Physics at # QueensUniversity , and Research Group Manager at # SNOLAB . # SNOLAB is a National Research Facility in # Canada and the deepest, cleanest laboratory in the world, ideal for careful work. I study # neutrinos and hunt for the composition of # darkmatter I am a published # writer and a serviceable # runner .

    It's warm in # Sudbury today, but I managed a nice run. It's very humid, but not too hot (yet). Did not manage to run the full 4K but happy I got out. One foot in front of the other ... and repeat! I am really hoping we get some rain this afternoon. The South End of # Sudbury has not been winning the lottery on rain this weekend, even while other parts of Greater Sudbury did see some.
