Why in the wide world of sports would somebody liberally apply perfume/cologne before going to the gym. 😖

So apparently removing the ability to download your tweets in a CSV file is one of the new Twitter "improvements".

Apparently they don't want people mass-deleting their Twitter history.

I do have backups of my tokens, but I don't have a spare device where I can restore the backup. Thankfully, my new phone arrives today, and most of my key services are protected by a YubiKey, so I'm not entirely blocked.

Sigh. That moment when you bust your phone, and then realize everything using 2FA is now inaccessible.

Maybe I picked a bad time to join Mastodon, but so far it seems like it's as bad or worse than Twitter.

Sigh. Convinced I should ignore any new AWS features for 1-2 years after launch to give them time to add the features that should have been included at launch. #aws

While I was working on my blog upgrade, I fixed a bug in my global license plugin for Hexo. #hexo #javascript

Finally broke down and installed F-Droid on my phone. Now to try and find the apps I already use in their repository. #fdroid

A short explanation on what went wrong with my blog upgrade and migration to a new host.

Success! Finally finished moving my blog to Netlify and finished the DNS migration to AWS.

Beyond ready to be done with my blog migration, but still waiting on a domain transfer to complete. 😑

And in other news, you can't create a CNAME record for an apex domain in AWS Route 53. 😡

Sigh, because nothing with computers is ever easy, my new blog won't load its stylesheets after being uploaded to my hosting provider.

Excited to have completed my blog upgrade project. Replaced my old, janky, static blog site with a hacked in separate home page with an updated static site that includes the home page and preserves all of my old paths.

Interesting take on why the recent spate of "source available" licensing is both bad for FLOSS and bad for business. Personally, I already disliked "open core" products, and I won't touch projects like ElasticSearch and CockroachDB that have abandoned true FLOSS licensing.

Wish there was a secure email hosting service out there with family-friendly pricing. I would love to dump Google, and I already have my own domain names, but all the services I've looked at are really expensive when you need 3-4 mailboxes.
