Today is the day of the first running race for my son and me. It’s 3km, and we need to put on a Santa costume. 🧑‍🎄

Proceeds will go to a foundation for caring for the elderly.

Yes, it looks like you think. Yes, it’s awesome.

Starting the Saturday by baking some brownies with the son.

Another picture taken during one of my runs this past week.

I've been pulling my hair for GitHub NOT showing the actual date belonging to a commit or release.

Why is "last month" any better? 😠

Showing my daughter all the wonderful colors, contrasts and shapes. She’s really taken an interest in the world at three months old.

#running in Limburg, The Netherlands

I’m going to take Garmin’s lactate threshold test today. I believe it entails going all-out and then some.

Looking forward to receiving more personal training recommendations for my body, though.

Running `pg_repack` for the second time this year. The database is currently about 151GB in size.

Edit: It's done, result is 120GB left. Not too bad :)

#devops #mastodon

Doing some database host maintenance for #tootcommunity real quick. There could be some hiccups.

Edit: It's done.

Pretty sky in the flat country, The Netherlands.

Thinking about implementing a new year’s resolution for 2024:

No more rushing.

The sense of urgency is most often unwarranted.

Dear #mastoadmin people on Kubernetes:

Doing a periodic rolling restart of the web deployment can easily save you a bunch of RAM on your cluster.

Morning. ☕️

Holly is a typical plant used in Europe for Christmas decorations. Found it fitting to encounter them our stroll through the woods last weekend. :christmasparrot:

Ik heb wat moeite met de kieswijzer(s) dit jaar. Het regeren van het complete land kan niet gereduceerd worden tot een paar ongenuanceerde, populistische statements.

Hoe gaat de rest van de Nederlanders hiermee om?

This picture accurately describes what it’s like to have a cat.

Oppenheimer was a nice movie. Enjoyed watching it.

Reading up on sleeping tips for babies.

"Avoid caffeine"

Wait, what?

Gave myself an early winter present: A heated vest by Gerbing for the chilly days on the #motorcycle.

Traffic has become more than brutal again after COVID and I'm planning on using the motorcycle through the winter most of the time. We get to lane split here in The Netherlands. It saves about 50% of trip duration during rush hour. ⛄️🏍️
