I was also able to work with my new webhost, to bring back “🐕.fr.to” - everyones favorite vanity redirect domain, for my site, Googles changes to SSL warnings in Chrome, killed at the beginning of this year.

The lesson: I NEED TO COMPLAIN MORE

In-reply-to » Boi am I glad I made the decision to get off of Clownflare back in Jan of this yaer 🤣

@prologic@twtxt.net yeah, all eggs in one basket has never been a sensible approach. Sadly, even without that, this outage is affecting many due to the interconnected nature of services these days.

** Gundam is just the same as Jane Austen but happens to include giant mech suits **
A friend recently asked how to get started watching Gundam, and as I tripped all over myself, equal parts excitement and not wanting to sound like a lunatic, I fumbled around for a good answer.

What I landed at was inelegant and I eventually panicked and found a watch list online. BUT! BUT! What is a blog for if not do overs!? Also, what follows has literally no i … ⌘ Read more

In-reply-to » @lyse wow, 31 is truly a telling! Interesting facade on that building on 10! And that roof on 51, oh my! The golden Jesus and tower on 7 are something else too.

@bender@twtxt.net Glad you like them! :-) Those colorful roof shingles are absolutely stunning. The golden building has quite a few folds in the facade skin, from the other sides a bit more. Check out this: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/07/Rems_in_Schw%C3%A4bisch_Gm%C3%BCnd.jpg Luckily, there weren’t this many people around today. :-)

Don’t think this is the norm, though, most stuff here is also much more modern. There are not a whole lot of historic buildings left. And if there are, they’re not necessarily kept in good shape. But some are. So, don’t be fooled by my biased preselection of typically photographing the nicer ones.

The people photos are not for the internet. ;-) But I get your point, the reason why I ended up in that town is irrelevant and misleading, I should have introduced it differently. :-D

In-reply-to » We had a nice family day in Schwäbisch Gmünd: https://lyse.isobeef.org/schwaebisch-gmuend-2025-11-16/

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org wow, 31 is truly a telling! Interesting facade on that building on 10! And that roof on 51, oh my! The golden Jesus and tower on 7 are something else too.

I miss Europe like hell, mate! A lot of things around here are younger than me. I don’t feel history, I am history. 😅

On “family day”, I was expecting to see more pictures with people in it. All lovely, nevertheless. Thanks, as always, for the mini-vacation! 🙈

In-reply-to » The gold saga on @quark's thoughts continues with https://netbros.com/1750974122. That's without any doubt the most beautiful 404 page I've ever come across in my entire life. What an overall master piece of art. Well done, mate! <3

@quark@ferengi.one It’s very nice mate 😅 I didn’t know you were this good at CSS 🤣

@prologic@twtxt.net is it Hugo driven, yes. The Frankenstein’s monster CSS is mostly all mine, as evidenced by its shoddiness. 😅
