Hello fandom Fedi =)

Do you maintain a small/personal fanfic archive? You might already know https://ficring.neocities.org/ , a webring listing small fanfic archives. It is now joined by https://fan-archives-directory.nekoweb.org/ , a directory with the same goal!

If you prefer one format over the other, you now have options... and otherwise, both is good ;) Don't hesitate to join! Readers are always ecstatic to find fics outside of AO3 when it's down or slow =)

(And readers, don't hesitate to bookmark ;) )

Discord is forcing US users to opt-in to a privacy breach, which is great. Go to to Settings > Data & Privacy > then untick "Show my message content from Discoverable channels" on web pages. EU users are, as usual, opt-in.

Useful stuff for anyone who wants to convert their pillowfort archives into other formats

@Ragashingo Seven Seas sometimes puts works on Humble Bundle DRM free which is probably the ideal, but it might not happen for a long time.

I normally buy my ebooks through Kobo.com which uses Adobe DRM. It's not restricted to Kobo devices, you can load it up on any device that's registered through the Adobe Digital Editions.

I also de-DRM my own purchased books using Calibre and a plugin, so that's another method you could do (there are multiple ways to remove the DRM). Once it's setup it's not too difficult

Following the #FreshRSS update of our default Debian-based Docker images earlier today due to severe #PHP vulnerabilities, here is now also an update of our alternative Alpine-based Docker images. #Alpine updated the PHP packages ~40 minutes ago.

https://github.com/FreshRSS/FreshRSS/releases/tag/1.30.4

Nothing puts the lie to "PHP is irrelevant" like "good morning, 70% of the internet needs to be fixed ASAP".

In light of the incoming major PHP security vulnerability (x.com/ThePHPF/stat...), we will be taking the site and API down until we can confirm a fix on our side.

Apologies for the short notice. There is no ETA to when we will be back up, though hopefully within the day.

@vsitante I hope you feel better soon!

I'm going THROUGH IT right now (it's a big change, but hopefully a good one) and I don't have the mental capacity to engage with fandom stuff at all, so I've been journaling instead.

It's private for now, but I hope to adapt it eventually into a blog post once I feel ready

someone else made one at the same time and I didn't want to make it appear as tho I'm competing with them...

so fedi gets to see it instead ! (feel free to use w/o credit)

Briefly back for a moment to say: Dreamwidth has been stable and available for a long time in internet years now. It's very Old Web feel, so it might feel a little strange to people used to the faster pace of Now Web, but it's a nice place to be, if you spend some time on it.

I got these in a while ago, and forgot to post about them here!

Tiny Bookshop is a super relaxing game. And I got Trails 1st Chapter because it was on sale, and physical games are dying.... (I still haven't finished the first game in its original format)

And once again the day is saved 💚💗💙

@anime it fully adapted the completed manga, so probably not. Unless the author makes a spinoff series or something.

@vsitante not sure if you're able to see my quote tweet, but yeah, Kino's Journey got licensed by Yen Press!

@anime I am! But maybe not right away, I have a bunch of friends I want to watch it with, plus I'm a light novel reader now so I'm already aware of all the twists and turns in the story lol

OMG THIS IS LEGENDARY???? Glad I'll be able to read the official version of Kino no Tabi now!

@anime I honestly really loved the main couple, and I'm glad there was variety in this show. While YamaNishi was the cutest, I appreciate the focus on Tani at the end since he's the character that's been developed the least. Even in the ending epilogue, you can see his personality subtly shift to be more comfortable around other people.

Tairazuma got an inconclusive ending but I like that it wasn't immediately pairing these two up romantically, as they weren't ready for it.

@anime @moleSG It's cool that this got an anime, normally only the fluffier series get anime (or they end up getting censored).

i might have to check this out lol

I just saw a video of an AI executive saying that people will connect their brains to the cloud so they can have 1,000 times more thoughts.

Neurotypical people. Please listen to me. I promise you, with all the ADHD in my body-

You really do not want 1,000 more thoughts.

You may think you do, but you extremely do not.
