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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

Update 77: Reminder: the off-leash field by Oostvaardersplassen 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.

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

Pothole on the last stretch into Tussen de Vaarten could swallow a bakfiets. Reported. Again.

If it flips to complete with no mail, that is still “success”. Quiet success. [92.1]

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