My inkjet printer is literally from 2009. I have held onto and maintained it because it doesn't have any of the programmed in end of life nonsense. But it's not connecting to the most recent computer (I've been printing to a newer laser.) So I guess I need to set up a print server? Sigh.
Question: Does anyone know if scrapers try to translate QR codes on websites for info? I'm trying to think of ways I could add a Vcard to a website in a way that's not going to increase spam. This is about getting people to save websites & contact info, not submit anything in a form.
Nothing like moderating chat (off cam) for 1 event while you're passing off zoom hosting to someone else on a 2nd event since the link wasn't created with their acct as an alt host... This wasn't the original plan. Was listening on 2 different headphones to 2 people talking there for a bit. πŸ˜‚ 🫠

Have been churning through some work stuffs. Really trying to get some things done before people go into full vacation mode. You’ll probably see me more around the 20th? That’s usually about when people are suddenly unresponsive even if they swear they’re in the office til the 23rd.
I had started to drink it before I thought to take a pic of the snowflake in my β˜•οΈ drink. It’s however warm enough outside that I’m wearing a short sleeved shirt today though. https://shiitake.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:tbr4cunn6r4hox73ybzjfwt3&cid=bafkreifid6l3jw7napuovj6x6fhhecx7tswdd7osvugdxuwavoqwtxe5te
