Mastodon.nl community - I'm looking for someone to take over maintenance and hosting of mastodon.nl as I'm focusing on other projects. If you're interested send me an e-mail at mdbraber@mastodon.nl

To support the YouTube walkout this week, I'll be promoting (once again) some superb entertainment I've found on the wider Web every day this week.

Today's recommendation: Pepper & Carrot https://www.peppercarrot.com/

It's a cute/relatable/amusing webcomic by the concept artist behind the Blender Open Movies about a young witch-in-training Pepper and her cat Carrot.

P.S. Where do we find the Blender Open Movies outside YouTube? YouTube appears to official source for newer ones.

Roku is locking down devices to extract more data from users. Big surprise: if you use proprietary software, your freedom is limited. This is a perfect reason to consider open source alternatives like #kodi.

Dear mastodon.nl users - so far maintaining mastodon.nl has just been a project I've done out of my own pocket. I would be okay to keep providing the service at cost if we can find a way to cover the hosting + domain costs (~15eu/month). Who would be willing to donate a small amount per month to keep using mastodon.nl?
