While messing with my #homelab the other night, I got blinded by the default #nginx error page. Which reminded me of the dark mode pull request that they rejected. I really hope they reconsider!

Just moved all my domains to @cloudflare.social Registrar. $10.46/year versus $15.99 on my old registrar. 🤯

I have no idea how other registrars will now compete with CF's wholesale pricing.

I was stunned by this palm tree the other day. Sunset made its crown glow like gold. 🌴

This reptile friend likes to hang out near my house, seems pretty chill around people. I wonder what species it is? 🐍

Constructed Jeffrey Zhu's 3x3 piston door on my #Minecraft server :-) I'm amazed that a 9-year old mechanism still works flawlessly in the latest game version!

Stepped out outside for a quick break and caught this beautiful #sunset 🌅

Videogames are work of art and their continued destruction is a massive cultural loss! One should be able to enjoy that game they played as a kid even decades after. I'm fully behind the #StopKillingGames initiative!

The capital waited, vast and unhurried, its gates open in quiet invitation. 🍃

"The Capital" premieres on @YouTube on March 23rd, see you there!

This little red ship has been asleep for 7 years.
Time to wake it up. 👾

Devlog soon (probably)

Had this little fella hop by my window. Seemed pretty chill even with me getting close for the shot.

Had a fantastic evening at the beach with my friends. Check out the sandcastle we built!
