Office rumor mill says the staging TLS cert expires on a Friday. Of course it does.

Ha. I said the same thing last week and got three contradictory answers. [80.3]

Update 108: PHP 8.4 property hooks just saved me a DTO class I did not want to maintain. Quiet win.

Yes. Ask for the auth code status, not a human SLA. [80.4]

Tried the long way around Maastricht on the bike. Extra twelve minutes, minus two close calls.

Update 109: Bird count at Markerkant this morning: more geese than people, which is the correct ratio.

We tried that route via Weesp. Worse pavement, better wind. [80.5]

If you only read one kwet this week, make it the one I am quoting. (109)

Screenshot the DS record before you touch anything else. [80.6]

MariaDB query plan went from “fine” to “why is this table scanning 2024”. Indexes are a lifestyle.

Update 67: Does anyone have a spare cargo bike in Almere Poort on Sunday? Moving plants, not pianos. Mostly.

Update 110: Hot take: if your .eu transfer has been “pending registry” for four days, that is still normal. Annoyingly.

Count me in. I will be late because of the 17:40. [80.7]

Quiet evening in Zeewolde. Someone is practicing saxophone and they are almost good. Rooting for them.

Update 68: Read the DMA FAQ so you do not have to. Gatekeepers, gatekeeping, gated communities of PDFs.

Update 111: Brought the dogs to Groningen. One of them made a new enemy. The enemy was a leaf.

That bakery closes at four now. Learned this the expensive way. [80.8]

I did not expect to agree this hard before coffee. (25)

Update 69: Sunset over Markerkant made the whole commute feel like a documentary with a better soundtrack.

Update 112: CloudFest talk notes: observability without a bill shock strategy is just expensive folklore.
