@ttscoff Well a lot of people have already said Mona but I’m going to say Mona anyway because I use Mona (iOS, iPad, Mac)
New owners of a home in Melbourne discover an extensive model train set-up under the floor when they move in.
Here's the absolute weirdest electric vehicle you've ever seen.
It was called the Brighton and Rottingdean Seashore Electric Railway in the UK, and it's an elevated tram which ran on submerged (at high tide) tracks.
It started running in 1896 but was knocked out of action a week later by a storm. It was rebuilt and ran for 5 years, carrying thousands alongside the beach for no immediately obvious reason. 😄
It's long since gone but the fact it actually existed is surreal.
Simon and Eugene pick up where they left off on their coverage of bugs, this time with the opening episode of series 4, Absent Friends.
Where they rant… er… discuss recasting, retcons, recasting, cliffhangers, and recasting.

The admin teams behind a few large Lemmy instances have also set up PieFed instances recently. If you’re looking for an instance run by people with plenty of technical experience and deep connections to the fediverse community, these are the instances for you:
piefed.ca – from the lemmy.ca team
piefed.world – from the lemmy.world team
piefed.blahaj.zone – from the lemmy.blahaj.zone team
More instances are listed at https://join.piefed.social/try/ and at https://piefed.fediverse.observer/list.
At the same time I have doubled the capacity of the flagship instance, piefed.social so there’s plenty to handle the influx we’re having.
Too many Matter devices still require you download another app first
There is now a free open self-hostable Fediverse trail recorder called Wanderer. You can upload GPS data directly and it also lets you import your data from Strava and Komoot.
Wanderer is federated through ActivityPub so Wanderer servers can connect to other Wanderer servers and Mastodon etc servers too. More info at the official website:
Source code is at:
➡️ https://github.com/Flomp/wanderer

@cipieroise.bsky.social Yes but I want to follow you *from* Pixelfed (now that you are bridges)
‘They all agreed the coolest thing was called “pod casting.” They said it was great, it was like radio, but you could get it from the web, and there was always lots of new stuff
"What will they think of next," said the old man, impressed, nodding with respect.’
