It's been years since I've seen a winmail.dat, but here it is. What does this signify?

My #lemmy group on collecting #news articles on the #fediverse has already attracted 58 subscribers in 24 hours. That is a lot more than I had expected. So far it has collected 5 recent pieces in Wired, PopSci, The New Stack, AdAge, and tech.co. https://lemmy.world/c/fediverse_press

Let's say you have a fan mounted above some Raspberry Pis that sometimes overheat. So it doesn't get used very often. Surprising insight of the day: you can point it at yourself if it is hot in the home office in the summer!! Equality for people and Pi's! Not just Pi's get to use the fan!! (Like that AC we had decades ago at that first university institute I worked. It was for the computers in the computer room only, not the people who got to sweat.)

#threads usage is down quite a bit according to an analytics firm per the WSJ. https://www.wsj.com/articles/threads-user-engagement-continues-to-drop-adding-urgency-for-new-features-8ed2f384

How do I find out who the supposedly 26 subscribers are of my newly created #lemmy group for press coverage of the Fediverse? Is there a button somewhere that I can't see?

The @npub16rd8...3v3k client is really, really bad about projecting how long an upload for a large directory hierarchy will take. An hour ago it said: 3 days. Then 5 mins ago it said: 2 minutes. Now it says: 1 day. Maybe average more than the last 10 seconds?

FireFish, huh. Sure better than Calckey ! At least I can pronounce it 🙂 Congratulations @npub1kn68...ks0g and crew.

So apparently there is a non-trivial number of Russian tourists vacationing in Crimea. I am at a loss.
