I’m still learning how my life changed after reaching 30 and apparently I’m now able to hurt myself by literally laying on the couch. Damn.

Even though I’m not like a computer person, server person, however you call it – I’m still amazed sometimes that I’m managing two proper servers with serious and used services and still didn’t blow up any of them

Just planned out how and when I’m gonna move our Discourse instance and Mastodon instance. Both are gonna have same spec’d servers, Discourse is getting a bit worse, but Mastodon is getting better one. I think it’s gonna take me lots of hours, but it’s going to be worth it in the end.

Returned to old habit of intentionally looking for new music and I’m very glad I did. This feeling of finding an absolute gem is just something else.

One might say that this pic is a… ~vibe~

🫠 Melting from overload. This weekend is going to be great, but the next one is going to be perfect.

Castro for podcasts is one of my fav apps, nothing ever was as joyful and pleasant to use as Castro is. It wasn’t updated for a long, long time, and today… It’s alive!

Got a suggestion to re-pair my Apple Watch and it did fix the battery drain issue. Just FYI.

There has to be something wrong with my Apple Watch. This battery usage seems off.

I’m reading Merlin Mann’s Wisdom document everyday finding what works for me and I have found this gem that is very much true:

>Never argue on the internet. No one will remember whether you won or lost the argument; they’ll just remember that you are the sort of person who argues on the internet.

Mastodon is just better than Twitter. It took two months since my birdsite departure to get to this point.

Notes from selfhosting Mastodon instance: with 50 users, a couple of relays, it’s taking more than 50 gigs of space on Backblaze already. Glad that hosting is pennies but if you’re wondering how much space Mastodon could eat – yeah, a lot.

Dbrand Grip Case. If you could have only one case per phone, this is the one I’m recommending and getting myself. Grippy, feels safe and looks pretty fine if you ask me. That thing on the back, the pixel grid, is a sticker so you can have a different one or none at all.

Great tool if you'd like to fetch content from RSS feed to Mastodon account: https://mastofeed.org

As always, first world’s problem: Spotify’s app is just easier to use and thousand times faster (especially on a Mac), but sound quality (especially on proper sound system like Sonos) is so freaking bad that I immediately miss Apple Music. Being in a pickle is where I am.
