Hello follower(s?),

I'm just checking into say I have been crazy busy for several days -- hardly a moment on the Fedi.  I've been away a from home, at two different events.  Very long days, and short sleeps have only afforded me a few stolen moments to check in.

My health-handcuff (fitbit!) claimed I had only eked out 2h45m of sleep one of the nights.  I'm sure I had more! On a plus I have exceeded by weekly cardio score by 362%. I honestly don't pay any attention to these numbers.  I don't generally wear the device but was curious of my activity while away.

Last night, home at 11pm, I concluded my social battery had expired.

Today is a glorious day.  I am in the garden, enjoying the sunshine.

What did I miss on the inter-web-fedi-thing?

Enjoy your Sunday my chums.

I've finally started my Digital Home and Garden.

I wanted room to grow my online life, so I've moved in to ForkingMad.com.  I will continue to do all my blogging at ForkingMad.blog, but different content will appear in my home as I settle in.  For now I am unpacking the boxes 😆

Are any of my followers on the mastodon.cloud server?

You should think about migrating away.  There's a growing discussion that some servers are going to defederate (disconnect) from the server. This means that servers will not process any posts from mastodon.cloud.

Why? mastodon.cloud is not maintained. The server software is very outdated and contains security vulnerability. Also, there is no active moderation, resulting in abusive content and new accounts being created for spam. I read that there have been many attempts to contact the admin team but no response for a few years!

The top of our garden, which we affectionately refer to as the wild half, is awash with snowdrops.

It's about half an acre of very old trees (150+ years). Over the years we scattered wild flower seeds and left it to nature.

It was once an old orchard for the house. #gardening #wilding
