I hear there's a bit of a heatwave in the UK right now. As someone from the UK who's been living in South Africa for almost a decade, some things I do to deal with the heat:

* Feet in a bowl of cold water
* Ice pack wrapped in a damp tea towel (especially good under your feet in bed at night)
* Damp tea towel around neck
* Spray bottle to spritz self with water

Keep your 'hot' zones cool; armpits, under boobs, crotch, back of knees. Having cool feet and neck helps immensely too.

I got off at this town and got inside the station to go out to the carpark to get a taxi... I told the guy on the gates to the carpark if I could get out given my situation. He agreed and said to talk to his manager.

I asked his manager and he said: "buy another ticket." . I replied and told him it wasn't my fault the train doors broke. He said: "2.50." I explained again and asked if I could get reimbursed... His response: "No. 2.50."

I think he enjoyed having power over me or something.

So, was on the way to my girlfriend's yesterday's caught the train up there. My stop came along and I pressed the button on the door to get off...

Pressed it again and again... And again.... Nothing...

Someone noticed and told me that door was broken and to try the next carriage. By the time I got to the next door I was on my way to the next stop.

I arrived and thought to myself, oh well, IL get an Uber from this station to where I was supposed to stop

@elomatreb compound words are good too though, they often feel like a slap in the face.

#UnitedKingdom #UK people of Mastodon... What's your view on a second #Brexit referendum?

I'm in two minds about it. Being a remainer, I want another one. At the same time I'm scared that it would strengthen the toxicity surrounding brexit.

So then, I pivot to not wanting another one and going for the softest brexit possible.

But then I worry we're just going to approach the same issues all over again.

Am I overstating the issues here? Would another referendum be a good idea? #politics

Holy christ!! https://www.tomshardware.com/news/project-fusion-super-private-mode,37162.html

"The Tor Project announced that it’s working with Mozilla to integrate Tor into Firefox. Eventually, this should completely eliminate the need for the Tor Browser ..."

How the hell did I miss this?

This is awesome news and *very exciting* to hear about.

Only thing is, I really hope that the Tor network can withstand such a violent increase in bandwidth.

What's everyones thoughts on #Peertube and privacy? It's p2p nature slightly concerns me, but at the same time its a part of what makes it so cool.

Moving forward, though... How do you share bandwidth without violating privacy? I'm not sure I can think of a way of it being possible without something like Tor...

Which obviously isn't made for bit torrent anyway and it slows the network down.

Working on PeerTube federation support! Mastodon & Pleroma support is pretty much finished (had to simulate remote follow since this is a localhost instance)
