@maique not sure if just for me, but these posts to links are showing very weirdly in Micro.blog. Looks like an encoding issue.

@pcora Thank you. Looking into it, it looks fine elsewhere 🙂

@pcora @maique I have reported this to @manton a while back. It seems to happen when there are long posts, (therefore limited in the timeline). It is apostrophes mainly I think.

@odd My coldest time was field maneuvers in Germany in the winter of 1986. We had to mix a little gasoline in the diesel stoves we used to heat at night because the diesel by itself turned to a near frozen sludge. Of the six 8" (203 mm) guns in my battery, my section's was the only one that was consistently able to drive out to the firing point each day---far away from any heat. I later learned from German civilians that the inside of their train cars were covered in ice. I suppose this cold spell affected a lot of Europe.

@odd Thanks. I’m trying a new method, not perfect. If it doesn’t work, I’ll just delete. Posts are available at their own blog (links.maique.eu), but they’re mostly meant for Mastodon (@mrBatsu@social.lol).

@odd I've had glitches when I dare to post titles with colons in them using Drafts.

@odd @maique @pcora Whatever is doing the truncating of the longer posts is not respecting the encoding of the original. Seems like a bug for @manton to fix. The encoding is fine with untruncated posts.

@markstoneman Especially the 70s were a cold time in winter here. I remember from walking to school in -20°C and such.
