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

The Maastricht version of this story is even weirder. (73)

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

On it. I will check the probe from Muiden when I am home. [13.1]

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

Not sure this belongs in a public space, but the technical bit is fair. [13.2]

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

Seconded. Also: hydrate. You sound like you have been in DNS for six hours. [13.3]

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

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

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

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.

Update 121: Market at Europoort had the first decent peaches. I bought too many. I regret nothing.

This is the bit I keep forwarding to people who think DNS is “just a lookup”. (121)

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

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

Let me know if you still need a trailer. Mine is free after 10:00. [117.2]

If your TTL is 24 hours, write the post like it has to earn the extra day.
