Market at Scheveningen had the first decent peaches. I bought too many. I regret nothing.

Update 64: Espresso in Pampus tasted like someone finally cleaned the group head. Small civic miracle.

Update 107: Looking for a trailer this weekend near Almere Haven. Two wardrobes, one optimistic plan.

This is the actual failure mode. Pending with no expiry. [80.2]

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

Ha. I said the same thing last week and got three contradictory answers. [80.3]

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

Yes. Ask for the auth code status, not a human SLA. [80.4]

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

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

We tried that route via Haarlem. Worse pavement, better wind. [80.5]

If you only read one kwet this week, make it the one I am quoting. (109)

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 Almere Haven 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.

Quiet evening in Bussum. 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 Scheveningen. One of them made a new enemy. The enemy was a leaf.

I did not expect to agree this hard before coffee. (25)

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