The botsin.space Mastodon server shutting down is sad news, it's a pretty important server and if you didn't like bots it was handy that you could just block one server and block loads of them at once.

That makes me want to see if an old blog is still posting... Overheard on the Tube, Overheard in London, something like that...

Maybe something like a Teasmade, which you can set to make tea at a certain time, like a caffeinated alarm clock.

I just woke up and this confused me

Perhaps if your eyes are on the forehead and mouth. It's more like a shadow effect.

The Indian guy one is brilliant.

leaving Mastodon out to try

While it's clear what's meant from the context, I've never heard this idiom. Do you mean "hanging Mastodon out to dry"?

Drop in the bucket sounds weird to me too, but a quick check shows that it's the US version of drop in the ocean.

This is some weird throwback. Back when Lemmy was using web sockets (before Reddit blocked third-party apps) there was a bug where a page would update with different content, but replies would go to the original post (iirc), but it was fixed ages ago.

It took me a bit to recognise that as describing "effete". I don't think you found the best definition - the main way it's used today is affected, overrefined, and effeminate.

Where exactly did Hashem define the boundaries, and are we obligated to conquer those areas?

Yikes.

I love that track, thanks for sharing this analysis.

This could have been a really interesting question if OP hadn't been so vague. As is, there's too many interpretations to answer. Do they mean the physical connections? The protocols and services like IP, DNS and BGP? The world wide web, with its sites, links and search engines?

Does OP consider the Dark Web its own internet? Or a large corporate network its own internet? What about self-hosting a huge number of services in your own home?
