Hello world! The logical end-point of distribution and federation is a personal instance. This is my Mastodon instance.

Curious to see what RSS feeds you follow. Can you share an opml export, or do you publish your list somewhere? My list is on my blog, in the sidebar as opml file. https://www.zylstra.org/blog/2019/06/show-me-your-feeds-ill-show-you-mine/ #rss

It’s King’s Day #koningsdag in the Netherlands. And this year the royal family is visiting our hometown Amersfoort. Despite the rain the country will turn orange in most places. (below screenshot of the rain radar, #opendata ftw) The little one has been asking to go into town since 8am this morning.
