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

Update 73: Tried the long way around Markerkant 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.

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

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 Almere Haven when I am home. [13.1]

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

Update 75: Quiet evening in Groningen. 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 Zeewolde made the whole commute feel like a documentary with a better soundtrack.

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

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

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

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