There was a wind storm two years ago that broke a huge chunk of my tree and left it hanging on. You could probably hang off it and it would not come loose, we tried getting it with ropes but it was wedged in tight between some branches.

Since it was broken pretty high up, surrounded by burdock, and at the back of the lot I just left it.

Today I was helping my wife in the yard clearing the weeds and this time one of the branches pinning it snapped, so I was able to use another branch as a fulcrum and finally took it down.

I’ll cut it up and burn it later — if there’s any good wood I might try carving some.

I got a $32 credit for measuring my house and home office space.

I've been looking for a couple weeks for good public cloud options I can use that are not US based.

I tried OVH but my account was flagged as suspicious upon signing up so I can't use any of their public cloud services.

I just signed up for Hetzner, but I'd prefer Canadian based servers.

So today I discovered that there's a cron job that holds non-reproducible state that died, and now our system is fucked.

The cron job doesn't live inside any source control. This morning it entered a terminal state, and because it overwrites its state there's no way to revert it.

I'm currently waiting for the database rollback and have rewritten it in a reproducible/idempotent way.

Heard this song on CBC radio today and immediately loved it. It’s lights a fire in my heart, so I thought I’d share it with all of you

I haven't seen this show, but I read two articles in The Conversation about it –‘Adolescence’ on Neflix: A painful wake-up call about unregulated internet use for teens

I switched my config files to lua. I haven’t changed my config file for almost 10 years, except for minor tweaks.
