I am just mildly annoyed that I only started using borgmatic for backups after I suffered catastrophic data loss. #selfhosting

Currently trying to learn

• game recording
• video editing
• motion graphics
• design in parallel. And all of it is fun, there is just... too much of everything so I'm DDOSing my poor #AuDHD brain. Send help!

With the job market for programmers (and pretty much everything else) being extremely bad at the moment, pivoting into being a streamer might not be the worst idea...

(except for the fact that I am not really great at any game, I just have hyperfocus 😅)

Oh no, I did not check the surroundings of my copper mining outpost, and now I have bathed the biters in pollution. They are quite cross, and I am woefully unprepared. #Factorio

For the first time ever, I managed to research bots in #Factorio. But the corners I cut to get there... holy spaghetti, Batman! The whole refinery and chemical plant stuff is barely holding on and in dire need of some actual planning!

I was today years old when I learned that you can just run fiberoptic cable in your home instead of cat5 cable. (With some additional technical doohickies)

Doing seven thousand things at once #adhd

Fighting with traefik, docker and https to serve something other than “404”

Finally updated everything to macOS/iOS 26. And I really dislike the Liquid Glass look. It’s tacky, visually busy, and everything just takes up more space in the UIs. Change for change’s sake. Very disappointing!

I think I finally managed to understand the basic Johnny Decimal concepts. Now[^1] it’s time to implement!

[^1]: and by “now” I mean “tomorrow”

Ruthlessly reducing the amount of notifications my phone is capable of generating

I have finally joined the ranks of the pumpkin spice enjoyers

Not sure if it’s the vyvanse, but I now actually use my valet stand instead of just throwing the clothes on the bed #adhd

I have accidentally started to dress like Kevin Smith

I just spent way too much time updating a car insurance thing online. Copying my bank details didn't work, I had turned manually type it in. Downloaded files hat extraneous stuff in the filename where someone probably forgot to escape something, and best of all: I wan't able to finish it in Safari, it just ended at a sever error "file not found" This is not simple web forms are supposed to work!

Learning Hugo so I can finally have a proper portfolio page for my business. Just had to find an editor first that supports all the relevant syntax.

Having ADHD is fun...

Finally added PDF generation and bulk export to my ADHD symptom tracking app. Now it is functionally complete, time to add some bells and whistles, like pulling blood pressure and weight from the Withings API, and exporting data to Exist.io

Achievement unlocked: official ADHD diagnosis

Ugh, woke up with a pulled chest muscle (I think). I have finally reached the part of growing old where random shit starts hurting.

I just remembered that I do have sunglasses, made my afternoon walk so much more enjoyable! #actuallyAutistic

Finally caught up with #Severance. Now I’m sad I have to wait until Friday for another episode.

Oh neat, they broke the company VPN again…

Finally made some music again for a 1 hour synthwave production challenge:

Company VPN is down, great way to start the week

Starting the day with a meltdown is not really a great start

Finally sat down again to start working on a new track: #synthwave #musodon

Just got an email from #LiveJournal telling me my account is 24 years old today. I am now dust.

Going down the #HomeAssistant and #ESPHome rabbit hole

Rewatching Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip with my partner makes me really miss Matthew Perry.

I just declared #Discord bankruptcy and marked all servers as read. I can almost hear my FOMO crying out.

Way too hot outside, trying to make some cool beats instead
