Given the 50% discount on Manning books, I'm open to suggestions for good books. Something outside of my usual topics (elixir/postgres) would be fun. I already got "Looks good to me" and "just use postgres."

The database for Loomy is hitting almost 80% constant disk util on my single Hetzner VPS. Annoying I have to some upgrades, but lovely to see that it's due to more and more customers <3

I did some home improvement work this weekend. I absolutely love doing it, and I'm not bad at it. My wife does say I curse a lot. I really didn't believe her. I might have to rethink my opinion.

I don't dare cut my dog's nails with these big ass clippers, so I made a little adapter piece for my Dremel.

Am I the only one who is annoyed by people making a video showing how to fix something, while it could have been 2 sentences?

Everything is online! I admit, the sources are becoming a bit messy, and the process is getting more involved. But, all the STL files are available if you just want to print them.
The STL files are huge, so I used Git LFS for the first time today :)

And the #erlang version is done too! I'll put the source up soon!

I bought an ebook from ebooks.com. I had to install Adobe crap to download it. Now I can't read it on my Kobo. I can install a calibre plugin to remove the drm. You know what's a better ux? Freakin' libgen.

So, now they blocked my e-mail adres for being "unsafe." I had to change to a gmail account or something to get into contact with the customer support people, since you can only mail from the e-mail address of your amazon account. What a shite company.
So I have a written statement from the police that they are asking for something that's illegal. And now Amazon is telling me that the police is wrong. What in the actual fuck is wrong with this company.
Apparently I now also need a freakin' lawyer to get my money back from this human garbage company.

For the first time I have to do some maintenance on this printer. It's mostly built from 3d printed parts, but it's as reliable as a Nokia 3310.
The belt is a bit too loose so I'll have to tighten it a bit.

They say don't roll your own crypto. Does this still apply if I let Claude roll it for me? That's a loophole, right? right?

Windows 10 goes out of support today. My fave useless fact about w10 is that the iconic blue desktop background is a *photograph* - not CGI.
