Well, we have the whole Fediverse worked up about something again. For once it's not Fedi meta.

The non-techie parts of Fedi must be disgusted with us right now.

I don't understand how anyone can stand being a frontend webdev. Then again, I'm not sure how I put up with being an AWS specialist some days.

Just about every time work gives me an actual project (as opposed to just "stuff to do"), I have a "work existential crisis". I find the learning curve so steep and the designing so unpleasant. I'm probably not cut out for doing this job for the long term.

Just flashed #GrapheneOS on my Pixel 8. I'm always blown away by how easy their web installer makes things. https://grapheneos.org/install/web

It's a shame that Peertube uses H.264 and AAC. Annoying to play on Fedora.

YouTube is like alcohol: Bad for me, no real value, but comforting and therefore addictive.

I was just remembering the time we failed at growing watermelons. We only got one fruit, and it was the size of a tennis ball. And then ants came and ate it all anyway.

It's easy to confuse Geany (a text editor) with Geary (a mail client).

Sometimes you really really want to do something, but it's not a good idea, and you know it. You pile up lots of reasons why it's not a good idea, but you still want to do it. I hate this.

I haven't had anything I want to read for weeks now. Sometimes I think I ought to get some huge doorstopper history book that'll last me a long time.

I started using #Syncthing again. I think the trick to keeping it will be not to take it too seriously. It's easy to set up and not too painful if it breaks.

There is an American band called Yob. Russians probably find that funny.

People on here sure are excited that KeePassXC supports passkeys. It doesn't thrill me. It's still a credential that I have to save in my database and back up.

Call me when we invent magic authentication. 🎩

I just got a static shock when touching... a sandwich. That's a new experience. Clearly it's really dry in here.

It's a shame that Ubuntu still ships Déjà Dup. It has a long history of being unable to restore anything after you reinstall your OS.

There's a moth in my bathroom. Where did it come from?

Sometimes I miss OpenBSD. But the move to Silverblue was for the best, I think.

I was just remembering when I was a kid and put on a Halloween mask to scare my mom. I hid around the corner and jumped out when I heard someone coming. But it wasn't her, it was the dog. He backed up a few steps and fell over.

There are some things where if you compromise, they're unsatisfying, and if you don't compromise, they're unworkable.

Sometimes my reaction to being wrong about something for a long time is just confusion.
