Wintertime

You can still find gems on Mastodon :)

Our cat woke me up at 5:00am and I couldn't fall asleep afterwards. Yawning all day

I checked my dormant Mastodon account after being away for two years. Everything seems almost dead over there.

I just finished Le Liseur du 6h27 by Jean-Paul Didierlaurent. A sweet and touching love story without a love story.

Lunch time: I ate my sandwich, something ate my iPhone battery.

Yes!

De Grote Houtstraat in Haarlem: elke derde winkel is dicht of gaat binnenkort dicht. Tja...

It is amazing to see the same people who say that climate change is a hoax demand Greenland because it is becoming more important as polar regions become free of ice

Click. Woosh

Das pas eenzaam...

Keyboard cleaning

Surfshark is acting up.

It is amazing how much crap you gather while living for 15 years in the same place. It took me 8 full car roundtrips to the dump to get rid of it. I'm not talking about moving things, that's another story. Our old house is now empty and ready for the new owner to start stuffing it with his crap :)

Durable lambdas bring some sort of step function functionality into lambdas. Very interesting but I am curious about the costs. #aws #lambda

0.90 per kWh on a slow charger? This is just robbery. Shame on you ALP-EV!

Some good news

Goodnight.

Ah. Look at that! #lexx

An amazing discovery: I found an old Blue-Ray player in one of the attic DVD boxes that I insisted on moving to our new home. The same box is filled to the brim with all seasons of Lexx, Avengers and Space 1999 that you cannot find on Netflix etc. Yay! I know what I am going to watch tonight

A good summary of Dan Brown's Secret of Secrets in The Guardian: 'It’s weapons-grade bollocks from beginning to end, none of it makes a lick of sense, and you’ll roar through it with entire enjoyment if you like this sort of thing' :)

We used to have a Google Nest camera to monitor the front door for many years. After switching to a Philips Hue doorbell I can confidently say that both cameras suck in motion detection. Each in its own beautiful way.

Shell killed their perfectly working Newmotion/Recharge app and replaced it with a dysfunctional new one that throws errors all over the place. They probably spent millions on it.

I just realised that all these Gen-Z peeps raving about music quality on AM are talking about Apple Music… I am getting old 🙈

DigiD op zijn best :)

Grrrrr. My Sonicare toothbrush extended warranty expired on the 12th of December. It died two weeks later. What a coincidence @philips

Wet snow this morning. That's how my roof window looks like now #haarlem

Dry January. For the third time.

We zijn klaar :)

Good morning!

May I sit inside the lamp?

So accurate :) I stole it from reddit

Merry Christmas!

@hutchinsondave.bsky.social Reading The Essence, enjoying a very reasonable description of the area where I live (Haarlem etc). Good read indeed!
