question for all you tech-savvy folks out on my feed:
is it feasible to run a mastodon instance over a network w/o port forwarding? like, just over a LAN?

I'm looking for texts on BDSM/kink and neurodiversity. Any ideas?

Saw doggo dragged along on swishy floor. Do not drag smol smelly cat pls, it might have feelings?

Cat looks cybre, giv cat job without claw convincement pls? (wants to keep claws clean & professional-looking)

so we asked the neural network to name our company, based on all the things people like the most. heres what it suggested:

New Cars Vacation Family
Money TV
Hamburger Hamburger Hamburger
Sex Cats Japan

Yes, it's the middle of July and I'm just starting my monthly page, gracefully, with no scribbling over mistakes at all. computerfairi.es/media/YxE6NXg

And for people who aren't beginners it's probably a lot of fun because there are text adventures designed specifically to learn Chinese? But I think at least one of them is paid. But still.

A lot of the other content is not meant for beginners, but the frequency-based spaced repetition thingie definitely works for me (I use it for practising writing, I only mark a word/character as good when I can actually write it), and the dialogues are above my level but still fun when I want to see some real sentences and maybe learn a word or two. (They are like LingQ, but less annoying/overwhelming, or like BliuBliu, but without the need to use a seperate dictionary / trust google translate.)

We all know that I don't have the willpower to learn languages, but… I'm currently in a "I'm totally learning Mandarin" phase, for like the 5th time probably, and I discovered one thing that is super helpful:

This tone training course! wordswing.com/cards/tone-train

Actually, the whole Wordswing site is totally worth checking out, it's freemium but mostly free.

Die erste Folge, über Trans* und Synchronisationen, war btw super gut: steintofu.de/2016/10/ruehrcast

Und inzwischen gibt es insgesamt 5 Folgen.

Ich hör Podcasts ja immer nur so sporadisch, und bin bei fast gar keinen am neuesten Stand.

Also, heute in Nicht-ganz-neue-Podcast-Folgen-nachhören: Rührcast Folge 2! Es geht um Serien und Cola.

food 

tfw the cat is excited about getting food, except you ARE the cat so you get both the excitement and the "awww how cute yes of course I will feed you" part!

Also… "alle TeilnehmerInnen (damit meine ich Frauen, nichtbinäre Menschen und Männer)" zu einer regelmäßigen Floskel machen? ^^

Nicht als einzige Lösung, natürlich. Aber parallel zu anderen Sachen fänd ich das echt schön.

Show thread

So, inspiriert von @lilletale und einer Diskussion, die ich vor einiger Zeit hatte: ich fände es wirklich schön, das Binnen-I enby-inklusiv zu machen.

Momentan ist das ja nicht so, weil es nicht von den Leuten verwendet wird, die auch Enbys meinen.

Aber es spricht imo nichts dagegen: Es ist einfach ein Wort, mit einer Erhebung drinnen für "und zwar nicht nur exakt das, was da steht". Ausgesprochen wird es ohnehin gleich wie _ und *

Is there anyone here on SoundCloud who is going to need another place to host audio?

I'm planning to set up MediaGoblin soonish, but could step up the timetable if other people needed to use it.

food 

oops I forgot to eat because I got distracted by trying so solve the German language
