Update 108: PHP 8.4 property hooks just saved me a DTO class I did not want to maintain. Quiet win.

Tried the long way around Scheveningen 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 Haven this morning: more geese than people, which is the correct ratio.

We tried that route via Groningen. 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 Bussum 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 Harderwijk. 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 Rotterdam Blaak. One of them made a new enemy. The enemy was a leaf.

Update 69: Sunset over Almere Haven 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 Rotterdam Blaak had the first decent peaches. I bought too many. I regret nothing.

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