A little while ago I got some requests for some awesome merch stuff so I'm currently working on a little webshop with some awesome stuff like stickers and other merch! (yes, yes, also fannypacks :blobcatgiggle: )

Got a pretty clever domain for a few bucks :ed_grin:

I'll keep the costs as low as possible and all profit goes towards mstdn and related services ofc!❤️

It's all fully automated and wordwide shipping within a few days (maybe a week or so sometimes)

I'll share the URL later :cathug:

Alrighty.. so about 5 hours in and I have a little something to show for :blobcatgiggle:

Only added 3 products for now, they do all work and are serious but I had to setup the whole shop first 💪

Still got a lot of work but I would love some feedback in the meantime :blobcathearts:

The domain I found is...

merch.bz

I thought "bz" like in buzzzziness or whatever. At least nice and short

Monopoly is such an old game. There's free parking, luxury tax and rich people can actually go to jail.

Its original version is known as The Landlord’s Game, created by Elizabeth Magie in 1903, a follower of the economist Henry George who designed the game to illustrate the economic consequences of Ricardo’s Law of economic rent and the Georgist concepts of economic privilege and land value taxation.

The game was intended to demonstrate that an economy rewarding individuals is better than one where monopolies hold all the wealth.

looking at this object, makes me feel like there's little difference between this and a piece of marble. To look at, the feeling is very similar. Both are beautiful but lifeless. What meaning can I glean from this enormous object that I can't from a relatively small one that has a similar visual presentation?

"The so-called consumer society and the politics of corporate capitalism have created a second nature of man which ties him libidinally and aggressively to the commodity form. The need for possessing, consuming, handling and constantly renewing the gadgets, devices, instruments, engines, offered to and imposed upon the people, for using these wares even at the danger of one’s own destruction, has become a “biological” need."

@chrisU Yes, he & Angela Davis were fired indirectly by Ronald Reagan. More damage and little thought to their value to society. Be well. 🙂

It doesn't help when companies produce products that can't be repaired, or costs too much to have them repaired rendering them as disposable items.
And, I thought about this yesterday...wouldn't it be nice that if the places that can take these items, break them down and recycle the parts...were more prolific and convenient to get to?

@Caiotekit ~ A rework of our system will be required as needed. This one is diving off a cliff. Be well. 💕
in reply to Bill Bill reshared this.

That is one thing that I wish we could return to..when things could be repaired and lasted longer. My neighborhood is all rentals, from apartments to duplexes. My small apartment complex has a dumpster and there is always a vacuum cleaner or TV out there by it. And it doesn't come from the apartment complex, but from others in the neighborhood. It's illegal to dump TVs in the trash. There are very few places that will take these items and it's a trip to get there.
in reply to Caiotekit Creations Bill reshared this.

@Caiotekit @chrisU Had our washing machine break down recently. $100 just to come out and look at it. The hinges were obviously broken, but do I want to spend $400 to repair a 15 year old washer, when a new one costs $700-$900? Our economy lives and dies on consumption and repairable durable goods get in the way of profits. Bought a new one and getting it installed cost $300 because the old hose connector had to be sawed off. 😫
in reply to Runyan50

@Runyan50 @Caiotekit @chrisU we had used, refurbished appliances from a local store that lasted years. Finally replaced both the washer and dryer and it's just not the same (the new ones work okay but they're total light weights) 🤷‍♀️

@Lesliesez @Runyan50 @Caiotekit @chrisU ~ My sister bought a used set from a commercial; laundromat and they last until just 2 years ago. That is 37 years of hard service. The new ones have a long list of no no's. Be well my friend. 💕

"On February 13, 1919, a reader in Colorado checked out Ivanhoe, Walter Scott’s historical romance novel, from the Fort Collins Public #Library and Free Reading Room.

Anybody knows where to get good Internet traffic statistics these days? I'm interested in the protocol mix seen in the backbone, not absolute numbers.

What percentage of the traffi is #HTTP, #HTTPS, #DNS, #SMTP, #IMAP, #FTP, #SIP, #RTP, … these days?

#Caida had some traces, but the latest I know are from 2012, which is not helpful.

I know Doug, he is one of the few that can and does provide much needed and useful insight.

I, and my colleagues (at Netscout), may in fact be able to do some increasingly more as well, but I can't promise how precise and specific that will be.

@jtk
John, that would be great! I don't think precision and specificity right now, just some order-of-magnitude numbers (or, rough relative importance). Of course, I wouldn't mind having percentages attached to it, but anything is fine right now to make me super happy! 😊
