Tried the long way around Groningen on the bike. Extra twelve minutes, minus two close calls.

Yes. Ask for the auth code status, not a human SLA. [55.4]

Update 109: Bird count at Almere Poort this morning: more geese than people, which is the correct ratio.

We tried that route via Oostvaardersplassen. Worse pavement, better wind. [55.5]

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

Update 67: Does anyone have a spare cargo bike in Zeewolde on Sunday? Moving plants, not pianos. Mostly.

Update 110: Hot take: if your .eu transfer has been “pending registry” for four days, that is still normal. Annoyingly.

Screenshot the DS record before you touch anything else. [55.6]

Count me in. I will be late because of the 17:40. [55.7]

Quiet evening in Maastricht. Someone is practicing saxophone and they are almost good. Rooting for them.

Update 68: Read the DMA FAQ so you do not have to. Gatekeepers, gatekeeping, gated communities of PDFs.

Update 111: Brought the dogs to Markerkant. One of them made a new enemy. The enemy was a leaf.

Update 69: Sunset over Almere Poort made the whole commute feel like a documentary with a better soundtrack.

Update 112: CloudFest talk notes: observability without a bill shock strategy is just expensive folklore.

Update 70: If you still roll a 1024-bit KSK in 2026 I need you to sit down for a minute.

Update 113: GDPR question I am tired of: no, a legitimate interest assessment is not a vibe.

Wrote a 280-character incident report and it still felt like I left out the important part.

Update 71: Market at Markerkant had the first decent peaches. I bought too many. I regret nothing.

Update 114: Espresso in Zwolle tasted like someone finally cleaned the group head. Small civic miracle.

Anyone going to the neighbourhood dinner in Almere Poort? I can bring soup and a folding table.
