A new week has begun, and 2025 is getting closer to its end. The question we should all ask ourselves is this: what have we done, and what can we do, to make the Fediverse a better place?

The Fediverse is for everyone. The Fediverse belongs to everyone. We should not wait for someone else to do something. We can start ourselves.

- Follow people who post content that interests you. You do not always have to agree. Constructive disagreement helps us grow.

- Always remain respectful and civil. This is what can make the difference between the Fediverse and social platforms that profit from anger. Let us make it a place we want to go, not a place we feel forced to go just to prove someone wrong.

- Make it a better place for yourself. Our timelines are exactly what we choose them to be. This takes a bit more effort, but the result will be far more satisfying.

- Help administrators identify problems. Pointless criticism is useless. Doing your part, on the other hand, is priceless.

- Boost what you believe is worth boosting. That is how things spread. If quote posts are available, explain why you shared something. You can also share content you disagree with, if you think it may be interesting for the people who follow you.

- Do not approach people coming from other platforms with closure or arrogance. It takes time to understand and adapt. Acting like schoolteachers helps no one.

- The Fediverse belongs to everyone, therefore it belongs to no one. If you run your own personal instance, that is your kingdom, but you could be defederated by everyone and end up alone. If that is your goal, fine. Otherwise, remember that federation is, at the same time, an honor, a responsibility, and a privilege.

- Have fun. Grow. Live. The Fediverse is an extension of your life.

If you have questions, ask. You will find many people who will be more than happy to answer.

And to you, who are reading this, thank you for being here.

Semi transparent patterned curtains hang in front of a window before sunrise, with soft early light glowing through the fabric and revealing floral motifs while the room remains mostly dark.

A pale sun is slowly making its way through the fog. Today might be the right day to go and pick up the "toys" from the supplier, two 5G routers.

A small boat rests on a sandy shore, with fishing equipment and nets piled nearby. In the background, a lone fisherman stands on a rocky jetty, casting his line into the calm, open sea. The tranquil waters stretch out under an overcast sky, creating a peaceful, contemplative scene by the coast. Buoys and rocks add subtle colors to the muted coastal landscape, embodying the quiet rhythm of a seaside morning.

A Tuesday that looks like a Monday.

Golden light spreads across a quiet field as the sun sinks toward the horizon, warming the tall grass and outlining the bare trees in soft orange. Wisps of clouds stretch across the sky while the landscape rests in complete stillness.

Hi #fediverse. We need to talk about something.

While talking to a colleague it came up that they have never sat on a cow. Like, not even once in their childhood.

Another colleague listening in admitted they also have never sat on a cow.

My hypothesis is that most people have at one point in their life sat on a cow.

🐃 🐄 🐮

Have you sat on a cow?

Please boost for scientific accuracy.

It's Tuesday evening here.
It's cold outside, so I'm already home.
Relaxing with some music.

Have a great [morning, afternoon, evening, night], #BSDCafe

Sometimes my soul rises and becomes a white cloud drifting across the sky. It watches, lives in the sunlight, stays quiet and, when it feels sorrow, it cries.
Yet the sky above it is, and will always be, bright and blue.

A wide blue sky holds a soft, bright cloud drifting gently above a layer of lighter mist, glowing in the midday light.

…and at night, when everything seems so dark you are starting to get crazy and hopeless, just remember: a new morning will come and a new sun will shine for you.

Sunrise by the sea. Everything is orange, the small sun is rising over the sea. What I wanted to express is that sometimes the night can drive you crazy. You can have a disturbed sleep or can’t sleep at all. At night, all your problems seem huge. Sometimes the night is a life phase. But things will improve and a new sun will shine, a new inner light will come and things will sort out.

I badly need a tiramisu. Meanwhile, a funny photo I just downloaded from... I can't remember, but definitely not mine

#Tiramisu #NewWeek

Alt...

A whimsical photo shows miniature construction workers "building" a tiramisu dessert. A toy crane lifts a container of cocoa powder over a large glass dish of tiramisu, while tiny figures on the dessert itself appear to be spreading cocoa and working on a section of ladyfingers with a ladder.

Some people I talk to look at me with suspicion, almost disgust, when I say I enjoy coming to the supplier's warehouse to pick up hardware and devices.
You see activity, life, people bustling about to make sure we can get everything we need.
And, to this day, they have always been incredibly kind and extremely helpful.
Sometimes, much of the real world is far from our monitors.

I woke up quite early, I just couldn't sleep anymore. And this caused a positive side effect: I could see a beautiful sunrise from my window.

Have a great day!

Today I'm feeling the weight of the week; probably a walk outdoors will help me regain some mental energy. Also because I'll have a lot of things to do this weekend (meaning this afternoon and tomorrow) and I'll need my head - but in a relaxed state.

Have a good weekend!

It's amazing how much energy has been injected into the FediMeteo project by @stefano
I've just surfed to the page and saw this enormous amount of Cities which are now covered

Two Thousand nine hundred and eight cities!

Yes you've read that right 2908 cities.

In order to get a city up and running in the system there's a significant amount of code that Stefano needs to add to the system. He has of course written everything in a modular and scalable manner, but that does not make the work any less.

We should all be thankful for this work that is done so that people from thousands and thousands of cities can see their weather right in the FediVerse.

If your city has not been covered yet, just be patient, like me. Realize how much work Stefano does in his free time in an OpenSource manner.

The image is a promotional graphic for a weather service called "FediMeteo". The graphic includes a series of colored icons representing different weather conditions: a sun, a cloud with rain, a cloud with snow, and a warning symbol resembling a hurricane or storm. Below the icons, there's text stating "FediMeteo" and "Get started today!". There's also a call to action: "Visit our website to find your city". The text continues with "Get forecasts for 208 cities across 38 countries, delivered right to your timeline". It includes a reminder to "Follow your city's account." Finally, it offers a way to "Enjoy weather updates." There's a website address listed: "https://fedimeteo.com".
