The History of Ions: Unveiling the Electric Charge

"Around 1830, Faraday posited the existence of charged particles within molecules that migrate between electrodes during electrolysis—an idea ahead of its time."

Today is Abib 15, a High Sabbath. 2000 years ago the Messiah gave up his life to pay for our transgressions. Abib 15-21 is also the Feast of Unleavened Bread.

An important distinction is slowly being uncovered about the definition of the term "fediverse." Who is it that gets to decide what this place is? How are we being represented? These are not easy questions to answer and if we don't do a better job describing ourselves, then the job will get done for us by people who don't understand the underlying values we hold.

@liaizon @evan @Gargron @chrismessina @eudaimon @youronlyone Yep, it was him.

It was first uploaded, AFAIK, in Wiki Commons by Eukobos (I think it's Eudaimon too), dedicated to the through .

It was June 2018.

No one submitted other proposals so it became the accepted logo of the . Variations from other users based on the same logo also came out later.

We are still working on managed hosting!

Our project needs a sustainable source of income to help cover costs and we believe this is our best path forward.

The first service we will offer is semi-managed hosting where you bring your AWS/DigitalOcean/Hetzner API key and we install + provision Pixelfed for a low monthly fee.

You can cancel at anytime, and keep your instance + data.

Interested?

So behind with a lot of stuff because I've been busy with adding new artists, information, tracking official accounts, and fixing things over at .

MusicBrainz is a database for anything related to . Artists, labels, tracks, albums, groups/bands, stage names, even instruments, and roles.

The database of MusicBrainz is actually used by a lot of other websites, one good example is the music tracker and MusicBrainz sister project .

If you love to help the community, go check it out!

Or, if you've been building databases, but the info is behind non-open, non-sharing licenses, why not give your time and effort to a Public Domain database? Help the community, and tell your employer to use their database instead!
