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

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

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 Pampus 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 Leiden. 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 Weesp. 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 Stedenwijk 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.

That matches what I saw. Timestamp even lines up. [52.1]
