damn #rqlite goes kinda hard huh
A graph showing the 75th percentile of duration over time. One series (orange) stays near the top of the graph at around 200ms. Another series (blue) jaggedly dips from 200ms to 100ms and back for a few hours, then craters to zero and stays there.

i'm writing the blog post anyway, sam, you can't stop me from CREATING

Screenshot of a ChatGPT session after I used to figure out Dovecot Sieve filters. Me: i'm really annoyed that this was helpful ChatGPT said: That's fair — clarity that arrives after frustration can be the most frustrating kind. But hey, I’m glad it was helpful anyway, even if it made you grind your teeth a bit. If you want, I can help turn that annoyance into some tidy, modular Sieve code that makes your future self grateful. Or I can just stand here and let you glare at the keyboard. Either way, I’ve got your back.

aaaaand definitely not me spending an hour and a half peeling old sealant out of my tire before looking at the tread, which is bald
Photo of old sealant gobs piled on a paper towel. They're a gross dirty beige color and they look wet and stringy and rubbery and gross.

the dynamic desert stuff that happens in #duneAwakening is neat. it's very neat.
Third-person view of my character looking at a large cloud of sand approaching from 3km away, behind rocky outcroppings and base buildings in the distance My character stands in roughly the same place but the cloud is much closer, taking up most of the sky The cloud is almost directly overhead. My character has raised an arm to protect her face. My character looks in the opposite direction as the sandstorm retreats into the distance, again behind rocky outcroppings and settlements

you're hilarious, bungie. hilarious. #destiny2
Screenshot of an emote preview from Destiny 2 called 'Inventory Management', with the tag line "I have GOT to empty my vault". Emote shows my character standing with an orange tablet in one hand, standing in front of a 3x3 grid of blue squares.

hey i remembered why i avoid #hackernews
Screenshot of a comment on a Hacker News story: tbihl 1 day ago | root | parent | next [–] >women tended to be underrepresented in western medical literature. Is there some evidence of this? It's hard for me to picture that women see receive less medical attention than man: completely inconsistent with my culture and every doctor's office I've ever been to. It's more believable (still not very) that they disproportionately avoid studies.

Jip van den Bos (young blonde woman) reports for Eurosport while wearing a raincoat and holding a clear umbrella covered in raindrops. There are puddles in the parking lot behind her.

it me

(i think this line is supposed to be funny? the woman he's talking about sounds like she's speaking øst-norsk, the most common dialect and the one they speak in oslo, but the setting is some remote island off the west coast where it's all «dokker» and «ka»)

#stradeBianche is really something else #procycling
Screengrab from Eurosport's coverage of the Strade Bianche Donne bike race. Helicopter shot of a Tuscan landscape of manicured fields and orchards. Peloton clustered on the road at the bottom of the frame. A city is visible far in the distance.
