I can bring a folding table if we are still on for Amersfoort. [52.4]

Update 73: Tried the long way around Maastricht on the bike. Extra twelve minutes, minus two close calls.

Update 116: Self-hosting update: the backup ran. The restore drill did not. Guess what I am doing tonight.

Stopped using a CDN in front of a static site. Latency went up, bills and mystery headers went down.

Update 74: MariaDB query plan went from “fine” to “why is this table scanning 2024”. Indexes are a lifestyle.

Found a bench in Zwolle that is not next to a speaker. I am not telling you which one.

Update 75: Quiet evening in Zeewolde. Someone is practicing saxophone and they are almost good. Rooting for them.

Work identity thought of the day: private spaces should leak nothing. Not even the joke.

Update 76: Registrar panel just showed “pending” in four languages. Internationalisation of despair.

Update 119: Sunset over Markerkant made the whole commute feel like a documentary with a better soundtrack.

I had the opposite experience in Almere Haven. Maybe it is a platform thing. [13.4]

Three herons at Muiden. They looked like they had a union.

Update 77: Reminder: the off-leash field by Almere Poort is closed until Thursday for maintenance. Use the dune path.

Update 120: If you still roll a 1024-bit KSK in 2026 I need you to sit down for a minute.

If it flips to complete with no mail, that is still “success”. Quiet success. [13.5]

I will not start another side project this month. This is not a side project, it is a test fixture.

Pothole on the last stretch into Muiderberg could swallow a bakfiets. Reported. Again.

Update 122: Office rumor mill says the staging TLS cert expires on a Friday. Of course it does.

Update 80: The 07:12 to Lelystad was on time. I do not know how to process this emotionally.

Update 123: Tried the long way around Maastricht on the bike. Extra twelve minutes, minus two close calls.
