I went into "Moonfall" knowing it would be a trash movie. But I wasn't prepared for how trash it would actually be. ๐

Water has four states of matter (in order of fluidity): ice, steam, liquid and traffic in Thailand. After reading Dagon, Nyarlathotep and The Nameless City, I just finished reading The Festival by H.P. Lovecraft. It's yet another excellent story in the Cthulhu Mythos. https://garrit.xyz/posts/2024-02-10-cosmic-horror-the-festival Next up: The Call of Cthulhu!   @garritfra yes it is. ๐ Is that for use inside a roof tent or for when you travel with a roof tent? Looking for a #wordpress theme to build an artist website for a friend. I'm peeking at the premium version of GeneratePress since it's quite flexible and I could use it on many websites in the future, but the price is quite hefty. Are you aware of themes that are as flexible as GeneratePress but cheaper, or potentially even free? ("flexible wordpress themes" is not a search query I want to trust.) @garritfra Hi! Well, it depends on what exactly you expect in terms of "flexibility", but take a look at the free version of Blocksy https://wordpress.org/themes/blocksy/. Otherwise, the new "block themes" https://wordpress.org/documentation/article/block-themes/ are pretty flexible. Block themes by Automattic https://wordpress.org/themes/author/automattic/ or Anders Norรฉn https://wordpress.org/themes/author/anlino/ are free/libre, well-conceived and without upselling attempts on every corners. @garritfra have you tried twentytwentyfour theme? It is very flexible and customizable, and Iโve used it to rebuild nearly all of my sites. Here is what I build for my partner (an artist): https://headtrip.studio/ #TIL: Our seven planets could fit end to end within our Moon's orbit around us. https://old.reddit.com/r/woahdude/comments/26i61g/our_seven_fellow_planets_could_fit_end_to_end/ To prove something is true, try disproving it first. https://garrit.xyz/posts/2024-01-30-to-prove-something-is-true-try-disproving-it-first @garritfra I think you still don't fulfill your promise, how do I disprove that? :blobcatsadlife: I'm 80 hours into my first playthrough of Elden Ring and I'm not even close to finishing it. The lore, the characters and the world are so unbelievably breathtaking, it makes other open world exploration games look like a child's toy. Even without knowing any of the endings yet, I'm super stoked for the Shadow of the Erdtree expansion! ๐ฅน  @garritfra yeah it's definitely one of the longer games of recent years that managed to keep the "open world fatigue" to a minimum. I enjoyed most of it, even though some of the optional dungeons I did as a final cleanup felt just like that - optional. Also curious for the DLC, but I also know that I probably won't do another more or less complete run for it. We're using version v2.0.0 of a custom pipeline library provided by a client. I thought this version was severely out of date since we've never updated it. Today I noticed that the library maintainers literally override the `v2.0.0` Git tag every time they push changes. It's essentially a `latest` tag disguised as a pinned version. Time to quit my job and chop wood instead. Lowering the brightness of my monitor from 100% to 50% reduces the power draw of my office setup from 65 W to 50 W. That's a 23% saving on my energy bill. :partyparrot: @garritfra Great! ๐ฑ But calculate it to โฌ ๐ I think the home office costs are often way too overrated. 50 watts for 9 hours per day for 240 days or so is still way less than I would pay for bus tickets for just a single week to get to the office. ๐ Why is "Cost per Request" not a common metric in every #observability strategy? @garritfra Cost is at best a synthetic metric, and can only be calculated with a full context. Take for example a request that asks for the top K results in the past month. The cost is different if the database contains 1000 or 1M results. Similarly, the cost of a request that returned data after 10s may be lower than the cost of a request that times out after 5s, if UX is impacted. Typically, instead of calculating cost one would calculate business continuity impact. This is what SLI does. @garritfra observability is just about the ability to ask questions. To me, knowing the cost of the application is a great question to ask, especially as we get to be able to see that data better with RUs for database services and charges for lambda and functions. We monitor that extensive with our lambda implementations. I added a little badge-thingy to the #CTF challenge on my website. If you've found some flags, you can now share it with others! I'm not invested in this game at all, but does the publisher of "PUBG: Battlegrounds" know that their game is called "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds: Battlegrounds"? Sent in a watch for repair and it came back even more broken. Instead of a button that's stuck, it now doesn't have a button at all. ๐ #YouTube is showing me sponsored links all over my search results, and they are BIGGER THAN THE ACTUAL VIDEOS. Oh, the fucking audacity. @garritfra YouTube Premium via Ukraine is quite cheap. There are also even cheaper countries. ๐ I don't remember the last time my body was *this* sore. ๐ Aching bones from skiing, a bruised tailbone from a sledding accident, a bumped toe from a party and a minor tendonitis in my left thumb (I guess also from skiing). My body is a wreck, but I have zero regrets. :partyparrot: Some people asked me about the automated publishing workflow on my static blog.

 @garritfra Inspired me to write this blog post on something I did a few days ago. GitHub Actions for the win! โก๏ธ https://ricard.dev/daily-workout-with-github-actions/ I just had a random thought to stop cravings: whenever you feel like eating, go get a glass of water instead. That should break the bad habit cycle. I'm gonna try that for the next few days. |
@garritfra you're part of the moon now!
