I’m finally watching The Expanse – it’s really good! I keep having to pause to look up guest actors.

Last night: “hey wait. is that...? could it be him? it is!!!”

Good morning Dave.

@bclindner three weeks uninterrupted uptime awww yeah!!!!

I’m sure that memory usage graph is nothing to worry about lolol unused ram is wasted ram!

I bought the wrong sized V60 filters and feel like an absolute chump. only about 150 cups left to make before I run out and can get more of the correct filters 😭

Good mooooorning

it occurs to me that having a large, flat light behind the webcam probably doesn't help it's audio quality....

(I'm glad that I get this blanket back, my grandmother made it)

panels are going up! already sounds way less echo-y in here. unfortunately I miscalculated how many command strips I would need, so I need to make a hardware store run.

Okay so then this morning I was like “we gotta make waffles.” Back in New York, we loved this place called Waffels en Dinges (“waffles with stuff”) and this is inspired by them.

Okay so last night I tried making a caramel for some ice cream. 2:1:1 ratio of brown sugar, butter, and milk. Some vanilla and salt. Bring to a gentle boil and simmer for a minute, then let cool 😋 I put it in one of those general purpose squeeze bottles...

@bclindner you see this new moderation panel? no more ufw rules 🤩

the automated check for being susceptible to index corruption was super-handy, and explains some errors I was seeing in our logs. the masto docs were clear, helpful, and easy to follow: https://docs.joinmastodon.org/admin/troubleshooting/index-corruption/ my hat is off to the team 🎉

bonus: since the source is open, I could follow along with exactly what it was doing and what it had left.
