Oh Wordpress, how I've missed your funny ecosystem.

Me: I'm looking for a simple, minimalistic theme.

Wordpress Designers: Here's a theme with 56 bundled plugins, and over 200 templates to get you started!

Cold as hell in The Netherlands this week.

Went for my morning run and had some chunks of ice in my beard when I got back.

Zero regrets, though. πŸ’ͺπŸ₯Ά

I purchased two Garmin watch bands from Hamsut directly. They're shipping to The Netherlands for free, which is awesome.

I just received a shipping confirmation email, from once of their employees. It's clearly manually written, no automation whatsoever.

Very refreshing in an automated world.

I've been having issues with my blogging software, Ghost, for a while now. Deployments aren't stable, and not very predictable.

Looking for something else.

Give me your best suggestions!

I recently stumbled upon the /r/flashflight subreddit, while searching for a running light.

These guys are intense. And yet, there's a part of me that's intrigued.

But what do they do, look at stuff in the dark all day?

I always (wrongfully) assumed that removing remote media exempted accounts that were being followed by local accounts. It turns out it doesn't, and resulted in local users running into the rate-limited media proxy regularly.

I'm refreshing remote media now, and re-downloading media with a limit of 1 year.

I suppose I'll own a copy of the internet once it's done.

They argue that Bitcoin squanders computational power.

In my opinion, this also ranks quite high in terms of wasting computing resources.

It wrote a Python script, then spun up a virtualised environment to execute it, to show me the number of days that passed since a specific date.

Just had to look at some unsavoury stuff in the moderation panel. Please send me cute pictures of kittens and puppies for compensation.

Good morning everyone πŸ‘‹

Doing a little Sunday walk.

Cleaning up all the Christmas decorations is one of the finest moments of January.

It's been a really great experience overall. I've learned so much about handling Kubernetes on my own, figuring out CNI policies, and working with distributed storage systems. I love how the DevOps skills I pick up for toot.community make me better at my day job, and the stuff I learn there helps me manage this platform even more effectively.

I've just finished migrating toot.community to Hetzner. It's now operating on Talos Linux with a managed Kubernetes setup across several bare-metal servers.

Utilizing managed Kubernetes on VMs proved to be increasingly costly. While DigitalOcean's managed experience is great, a shift in strategy is needed to maintain financial stability due to the gradual decline in donations each month.

As always, it's a financial trade-off between being cared for, and taking care of.

Good morning everyone β˜• πŸ˜ƒ

First working day of the new year. Let's go πŸš€

Happy new year πŸŽ† everyone.

I hope all the scared kitties may feel better soon.

Doing a proof of concept with Talos Linux for setting up a bare-metal #kubernetes cluster. I’m really enjoying the process. It’s a great product.
