updates100 days of shitposting
today it's 100 days after Kyselo was succesfully installed.
But it dates way longer than that:
- back then in 2011 I found soup.io and registered an account here.
- in 2015 I actually created first version of Kyselo, this time just on paper and later as HTML mockup.
- in 2017 I started to write my diary. I used Soup for this purpose but Soup was all 500s and no the stability, so I started work on a clone, which went live three days before Christmas.
- in 2020 as part of ongoing apocalypse, Soup.io was shut down. So I started Kyselo project.
Today Kyselo has small but nice community. Development somewhat stalled, but new features are still being developed. Kyselo is free to use, but there is donate button which is actually used - I spent those money in tape recorders and stuff.
Finally, some numbers:
- we are alive for 100 days (0 years 3 months)
- we have 141 users
- and 36 groups
- most active user is @gpkvt with 3028 posts
- most active group is @memes with 142 posts
- there are about 124 post per day
- of these 65 are originals (no reposts)

LIMA, PERU—According to a report in The Guardian, a cat-like figure measuring more than 120 feet long was discovered etched into a hillside during work to improve access to a Nazca Lines viewing area in southern coastal Peru. Archaeologist Johny Isla explained that this geoglyph had grown faint due to the natural effects of erosion on the hillside’s steep slope. The image has been cleaned and conserved, and dated stylistically to the Paracas era, between 500 B.C.E. and C.E. 200, making it older than the animal and geometric images created by the Nazca culture between C.E. 200 and 700. The use of drones has led to the discovery of between 80 and 100 Paracas geoglyphs on hillsides that were not visible in previous aerial photographs, Isla added. Textiles from this period also feature images of birds, cats, and people in a similar style to that of the Paracas-era geoglyphs. “It’s quite striking that we’re still finding new figures, but we also know that there are more to be found,” he concluded. To read about bird species represented in 16 Nazca geoglyphs, go to ''Partially Identified Flying Objects.''

New Zealand Deputy Prime Minister shuts down Covid denier: "Sorry sunshine, wrong place" | Boing Boing
merelygiftedNew Zealand Deputy Prime Minister shuts down Covid denier: "Sorry sunshine, wrong place" | Boing Boing
New Zealand's Deputy Prime Minister Winston Peters was taking questions after giving a speech in Tauranga when a man with a whiny North American accent demanded that the Deputy Prime Minister prove that the Coronavirus was real. Peters' response was recorded by SBS:
"Where's your evidence that there's a virus that causes the disease?" the man said, before being interrupted by Mr Peters.
"Sit down, sit down, sit down," Mr Peters said.
"We've got someone who obviously got an education in America. 220,000 people have died in the US, where there are eight million cases to date. We've got 79,000 cases just today, probably in India, and here is someone who gets up and says 'the Earth is flat'.
"Sorry sunshine, wrong place," Mr Peters said, to applause.
