The aim of https://Fedi.Garden is to help people discover small and medium sized servers on Mastodon and the Fediverse.
All of the servers listed comply with the Mastodon Covenant (https://joinmastodon.org/covenant), have fewer than 50,000 members, are open for public signups and block threads.net. They can be any sort of Fediverse server, not just Mastodon.
If you run such an instance, send me a message if you'd like to be listed.
apps. people. starter kits. one place.
fediverse onboarding has been broken for too long, and it doesn't have to be.
the new https://fediverse.info ships soon.
boost and spread the word 😘

Well, this is big news!!!
"We have completely virtually unwrapped and read PHerc. 1667 — the scroll the Vesuvius Challenge community knows as Scroll 4 — without ever touching its pages. It is the first Herculaneum papyrus to be digitally unrolled and read in full, end to end"
Call for graphic artists, comics drawers and designers: At work we manage a small clothing brand where we can print and produce t-shirts, hoodies and accessories for a marginal price.
Our focus so far was to set up the shop in a robust way, find the best suppliers available and guarantee a top notch supply chain from print to delivery (to your door), while solely relying on Print On Demand to avoid having waste products nor storage costs.
So far we’ve managed to deliver on all these points + worked with great but very few (4/5) artists and designers to bring to life some comics characters, and curate the designs to a T. Our first collab artists were from places as far away as Australia or Latin America.
There is no specific theme, but for our previous releases we did get inspired by technology, cyberspace, or mythology and handmade techniques. We also work closely with electronic music artists and creative people from the music scene.
Now we can and will focus on design, and I’d love to collaborate with fedi artists, as there are plenty of talented people around here.
If you have some cool artowrks that you would like to see printed in high quality garments, get in touch…
Leonardo da Vinci’s Notebooks, Separated for 400 Years, Have Been Reunited and Put Online
What are you people reading these days? I just finished “Zero Zero Zero” by Saviano, and now I can hardly walk 30 meters without thinking that I am surrounded by narcos, and international organized crime… A trip from Italy to Russia via Mexico and Turkey.
It also portrays adequately the complicated Italian modern history, and his love for Napoli is simply present.
It’s not as bad as it sounds, but given my location, some communities are as if they are the cliché that the book mentioned.
Is Fedi gangsta yet?
Happy Birthday, Whitfield Diffie! Diffie received the 2015 #ACMTuringAward for inventing and promulgating both asymmetric public-key cryptography, including its application to digital signatures, and a practical cryptographic key-exchange method.
Diffie says the counterculture of the 1960’s inspired his interest in cryptography. Watch him explain: https://youtu.be/d820zuDbYIg

smolBSD is a tiny BSD UNIX (NetBSD) system creation tool, primarily aimed at building modern, lightweight, fast micro VMs.
"Your use case is, there's a fourteen year old in an emergency room at 3 AM. English is their second or maybe fourth language. They have a battered school Chromebook or a hand-me-down Android device that was the cheapest thing on the market six years ago or a PS Vita their parents don't even realize has a web browser, and they're trying to educate themselves in the middle of the single most terrifying night they've ever experienced. Your site needs to work for that person at that moment."
