Die Gecko's durften heute auf den Balkon ziehen.
So können sie mal richtige Sonne tanken.

Time for some Nature First up, this little guy, a baby Japanese Gecko, spotted on a hot sunny morning this week, on the path along the river.
I've seen (or heard scurrying away) quite a few geckos and skinks recently, but this is the first one that stuck around long enough to have its picture taken.
While I was crouched taking pictures with my phone, a middle-aged Japanese woman cycling by stopped to tell me all about nihon-yamori. She was worried it might die on the exposed concrete in the heat, and proceeded to catch it with her hands and carried it over to a bushy area on the other side of the path.

saw a post about geckos and wanted to post this photo I took of tiny (then undescribed) day gecko species i found right outside my house but i can't seem to find it. here's a another I took while on a survey of the herpetofauna of that region 8 years back in 5 days from today.
i believe the common name and even the scientific name has changed but I know it as the Termite Hill Gecko (Hemidactylus triedrus) and it does get a lot more vividly coloured than this.
As Mozilla fumbles #Firefox, let's reflect on what we'd lose if this unique browser + engine dies.
How can I get a list of #HTTP, #HTML and #CSS features that are only supported by Firefox / #Gecko? Does caniuse.com or MDN have this? Wikipedia?
Only Firefox supports assigning #stylesheets through HTTP headers:
https://meiert.com/blog/prefer-http-headers/
Only Firefox supports alternate stylesheets: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Reference/Attributes/rel/alternate_stylesheet
Put these facts together, and you can make a secret stylesheet only for Firefox users.

Geckos! Spotted loads of these tonight in Padova, hanging out near lights waiting for moths. iNaturalist reckons they are Moorish Geckos (Tarentola mauritanica). Quite large, by gecko standards.
Firefox in pericolo: senza Google il browser rischia di chiudere

Little friend hanging out by the garage, perhaps absorbing whatever warmth is left in the bricks (leaf tailed gecko) #australia #wildlife #gecko
This afternoon, even though it’s a holiday, I stopped by the office to check if any important mail had arrived. When I opened the door, I saw something moving on the wall - it was a gecko! A few years ago, spotting one around here would’ve been quite unusual.
I moved slowly and quietly, but it didn’t seem scared of me at all.
He’s now called Jack, and I think he’ll be a pleasant little office companion.
Too bad he hasn’t learned to use the toilet yet!

@Cyb3rrunn3r Ich bin ja der Meinung, dass HTML in E-Mails nichts verloren hat, und nutze unverdrossen #Mutt.
Gut möglich, dass @servo heute schon gut genug ist, um in @thunderbird #Gecko abzulösen. Jedenfalls spricht die Servo-Website v.a. über solche Szenarien.
I think it'd be a horrid thing for the web to be *entirely* shaped by Google/Chrome/Blink — so I'd encourage anyone shifting away from #Firefox at the moment in the wake of #Mozilla's insane moves to destroy itself to please consider sticking with a #Gecko-based browser.
And maybe we should all be keeping an eye on #Servo: https://servo.org/
