Edit: Problem solved! Thanks to @EveHasWords@toot.cat I now know that while non-Mastodon people can quote Mastodon posts, Mastodon people can not quote non-Mastodon posts. 🤷 https://toot.cat/@EveHasWords/116908304486494579 ---- Hey Mastodon people, would someone be so kind and try to quote this post and tell me if it worked or didn't? The reason is: Someone tried to quote a post of mine and it didn't work, so now I would like to see if this is a general Mastodon problem, or maybe spec...

Happy Solstice, friends! Happy return of the light day to my fellow Northern Hemispherians. 🌞 Winter may just be starting for real now, but at least the light is returning from now on.

For a long time my water colour palettes and brushes were missing. I just found them again! Yay! (Not that I would actually need or use them. But I know where they are now.)

Dank eines Posts vor ein paar Wochen, der aufs Blutspenden aufmerksam machte und auf die entsprechende Seite des DRK (Ba-Wü und Hessen) verlinkte, war ich heute nach fast genau 16 Jahren das erste Mal wieder Blut spenden. Dank Terminvergabe ging das ruck-zuck, ohne langes Warten. Vielleicht bringt ja dieser Post auch jemanden dazu, mal wieder - oder überhaupt das erste Mal - Blut spenden zu gehen. Es kostet nix, außer ein Bisschen Zeit, und rettet Leben! 🩸 #blutSpenden

Oh no! Not only have I started with Postcrossing again. I've also started to use this new app PiXPost. I am not even a filatelist! But I like post and so I started to "hunt" postboxes and post offices. Maybe I'll get some postcard sights in during my vacation later this year? #pixPost #postcrossing

Ok, people, stupid question time... Is it possible/ reasonable/ not too difficult to use a NAS as a combination of media server, backup system, and web sever? Like can a person not super techy (i.e. me) set this up securely? Or should I stick to one purpose first and add to it later? I feel like the answer is very obvious, but I also have not seen any of the "for beginner" infos to explicitly mention that. I mean, why shouldn't it be possible? But then again, how should I know?...

Hab gerade die Blätter zweier alter Wandkalender zu one page Zines gefaltet. Bei den einen habe ich die bedruckte Seite nach außen genommen, bei den anderen nach innen. Jetzt ist die große Frage: Was mache ich da jetzt rein? Einen Satz mit in den Urlaub nehmen und dort journaln, incl. Photos drucken und einkleben? (könnte aber packtechnisch ausarten - Washi tape, Sticker, Stifte...) ... könnte aber auch auf nach dem Urlaub verschoben werden (so wie andere solcher Projekte, die allesamt unvolle...

New on the blog: The one where I share family traditions about boiled eggs. Heads up: I am talking about eating eggs. I am also talking about family traditions. So if you would rather not read the post, which is absolutely fine of course, I would like to ask here as well: What kind of unique family traditions (of any kind) do you have? #personalWeb #smallWeb #indieWeb #personalWebsite #blog

Listening to the soundtrack of the excellent and beautiful film "Yesterday". The backstage version of "The long &amp; winding road" is probably my favourite of all the songs. https://musiccloud.io/HNEsj

Thanks to @82mhz@mastodon.bsd.cafe I got reminded of the fact that today, April 9th, is CSS naked day. So for one day only you can experience my very own website stripped down to it's bare HTML. Enjoy! #CSSnakedDay #CSSnakedDay2026

Yesterday I went on a walk. I used an app to identify flowers and took photos. When I came home I made a zine. It took me hours and I enjoyed every minute. I should do this more often again. #zine #artZine
