Do you have a ticket number? The public status page is lagging again. [27.3]

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

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

Update 73: Tried the long way around Groningen 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 Weesp 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.

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 Rotterdam Blaak when I am home. [13.1]

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

Update 75: Quiet evening in Maastricht. 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 Almere Poort made the whole commute feel like a documentary with a better soundtrack.

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

Three herons at Zwolle. 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]
