Today I went with my mom and my little one to the #BalloonMuseum just outside Milan, looking for @npub15r30...838e’s #Bubulle. Back story:

It was such a magical experience - my little one was in heaven ❤️ Sadly we couldn’t find Bubulle 😭 they only had plushies in fuchsia, purple & blue. I’ve been in touch with Lisa the whole time and I’ll try again. They should get a new stock in different colors in November… Meanwhile my mom bought a fuchsia plushie for my little one 🤪

Good morning Fedi friends! I'd like to share with you some accounts that always brighten up my fediverse feed... If you need some light / smiles / inspiration, I highly recommend you follow: ✨ @npub195dn...gm7a (I just discovered it today - SO GOOD!) ✨ @npub1eyk5...hpk4 ✨ @npub13fkm...3gk8 ✨ @npub1dgsr...nfw8 ✨ @npub17vjh...g088 Wishing you all a great day! #GratefulForYou

Good morning Fedi friends! Time to try out something new 👀 #DeltaChat

Dear Fedi friends, this morning is a “RIP my mentions” sort of day… with 121 mentions in under an hour. It’s impossible to keep up 😅 I have to finish preparing a presentation for a virtual conference, so going offline now. But I’m really inspired by your suggestions to try #DeltaChat @npub1zgym...ekqk - will do so later today or first thing tomorrow. Have a great day everyone 🌞

Unpopular opinion: the silver lining in server outages is that they pull the curtain & reveal some hard truths about who is really behind some services we use... especially stuff we think are alternatives to Big Tech (spoiler: maybe they aren't). Case in point: last year's #Microsoft outage took out #DuckDuckGo (

Mashable

Microsoft outage affects Bing, Copilot, DuckDuckGo, and ChatGPT

The company is aware of the issue and working to fix it.

). Today's Amazon's AWS outage took out #Signal in some areas:

PSA: we're aware that Signal is down for some people. This appears to be related to a major AWS outage. Stand by.

Oh my, is this time to convince my family & friends to move to Matrix? 🥲

As someone who studied Mass Communication in college, I am absolutely shocked by the little media coverage of the AI slop video published on social media by the U.S. president... where he puts on a crown, gets on a jet & proceeds to drop massive quantities of fecal matter on protestors of the No Kings day. Had this happened 10 years ago it would have been front page news everywhere. Are we so desensitized by his undignified behavior + AI slop that nothing shocks people anymore?

Me in October 2024: "Hmmm #Linux seems interesting, maybe I'll start learning it on a Raspberry Pi... and if I'm lucky enough in 5-10 years I can host my own Fediverse instance." Me in October 2025: "No we can't fly back to Paris on October 25th. IT'S LINUX DAY in Italy! I need to attend events." I'm also self-hosting my own GoToSocial, Pixelfed, PeerTube and NextCloud (thanks to #YunoHost). And no I'm not bragging, I'm sharing my new addiction. Send help please 😅🤣

Bonjour Fedi friends! I haven't been able to find the micro HDMI <-> HDMI cable for my #RaspberryPi, so I'm now on a mission to organize ALL my cables... Wish me luck! Oh and once I find that cable I will install #YunoHost on my Pi, so that I can: 1) write about the process 2) install #Navidrome to set up my personal music streaming service 🤗 Update: I found the micro HDMI cable right away but now I feel I need to continue organizing my cables 😅 #SelfHosting

Yesterday I was singing the praises of #Jellyfin with someone in my life and they went: "Sounds great. It's a pity it cannot be connected to Google Drive or iCloud". Fedi friends, this sentence sent actual shivers down my spine. I have no poker face and I may have even blurted out "ew why?" Then I said: "you know that the cloud is basically someone else's computer, right?" So yes, I'm a certified Fediverse person now (in case there were any doubts). And I just installed Jellyfin YAY 🥳
