Update 72: Office rumor mill says the staging TLS cert expires on a Friday. Of course it does.

Update 115: The construction on the way to Almere Poort has entered its third personality. Today it is a labyrinth.

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

Update 73: Tried the long way around Zeewolde 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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

Update 77: Reminder: the off-leash field by Markerkant is closed until Thursday for maintenance. Use the dune path.

I will not start another side project this month. This is not a side project, it is a test fixture.

Pothole on the last stretch into Filmwijk could swallow a bakfiets. Reported. Again.

If your TTL is 24 hours, write the post like it has to earn the extra day.

Update 80: The 07:12 to Zwolle was on time. I do not know how to process this emotionally.

Roaster in Lelystad asked how I wanted it. I said “like the 11:00 train: late but intense”. They understood.

Update 81: Stopped using a CDN in front of a static site. Latency went up, bills and mystery headers went down.

Update 82: Found a bench in Muiden that is not next to a speaker. I am not telling you which one.
