New to this instance but not to #Mastodon. Used to be @cybette but that instance went offline since beginning of 2019 with no way of contacting the admin. Thanks @xvilo for the cordial invitation and here I am! I get another chance at #myfirsttoot, not sure what else to write, as all I really want to do is reconnect with people and resume the conversations.
Attending #RedHat summit in Boston in 2 weeks? An #introvert like me? Then check out "The introvert’s guide to Red Hat Summit" by Joe Brockmeier - great tips for large conferences in general!

It's been 2 years (and 2 days) since I joined #Mastodon. However the original first toot is gone (along with the previous instance I was on) - would have been nice to link to that instead
Registering for #KubeCon #Shanghai. One of the survey questions asked for shirt size, with the note: "The shirts will be Chinese sizing." Thanks for the reminder! I better put XL or XXL 😆

Video shows biggest-ever movement of Taipei 101 damper due to earthquake

This is pretty cool. The article said the building swayed quite a bit, but the people look rather unfazed.
(The earthquake starts about 1 minute into the video.)

2018 World Press Freedom Index by Reporters Without Borders is out! #Norway is number one again, #Finland is second and #Sweden is third. Northern countries are dominating!
The land of the free #USA is right down there at 48th between #Romania and #Senegal. Go figure.
