While it is still new, the site is slowly taking shape. I was able to- set up the outgoing email server so the site can not send messages to reset passwords, and also to create new accounts.

I am looking to maybe start a new Freindica discussion group, and also maybe improve the landing page for the site. I might also look at adding a relay. I read some where that for small sites,up to 5000 users, there might not be enough local traffic to have enough to read. After that, they you likely you not need a relay.

The other day we had an upcoming freezing rain warning. We've seen the bad effects of them in the past with downed trees and power outages for days and weeks.

Here is a local article:

montreal.citynews.ca/2026/03/1…

This was was expected and the authorities planned well in advance. We were expecting power outages. But, while there were outages, a lot less than expected.\

We were al happy about this:)

Hi there. How have you been?

I remember long ago, back when I had my old friendica server, you post an idea or code about how to modify the long in page.

Is this code still round, or do you have any helpful advice to modify the log in page? I will ask the groups, but I recall your idea back them.

Thanks

Joseph

Winter is coming to an end, but Jack Frost is dragging his heels. Plunged back to -15 last night. Rising to -13 today:) Heat wave:)
