Sad to hear of Larry Kramer's death. By coincidence I just watched How to Survive a Plague a couple nights ago, a powerful and informative documentary on the AIDS crisis as it developed and the activists who fought establishment indifference to find a cure with increasing desperation and anger. Would recommend it, and also The Normal Heart. So important we remember activists like Larry Kramer and others, and how much LGBT people of my generation and those to come owe them for their fight.

@marrkus I just have one question for you - are you a pathetic, worthless punk?

You have to do yourself a favour when you're out in the countryside and you see chickens -

First day working remotely / under quarantine and my productivity is through the roof. Could be in for a very productive period if I don't go mad from the social isolation / society doesn't completely collapse in the meantime. 🤞

hCaptcha ( looks like a promising potential alternative to reCAPTCHA - which of course needs to die a miserable and painful death. Going to give it (hCaptcha) a go on my current project, although still on the look-out for an effective open / self-hosted solution. Someone make one pls.

Brb watching all three Lord of the Rings extended editions to make myself feel better cause I need to be in a world where good finally triumphs over evil for a little bit.

After spending a long time looking, the best out of the seriously sparse set of options appeared to be Visual Captcha ( Unfortunately it seems it's no longer under active development.. Fingers crossed someone picks it up or something new comes along. A good, open, customisable, and privacy-respecting captcha open that developers deploy in place of ReCAPTCHA is desperately needed.
