The world is terrible and everything is scary, but don’t forget love. It’s still there and it’s still beautiful. We’re all scared and angry and tired, but don’t forget to love yourself and let others know that they’re loved.
Take care of yourselves and each other. Be kind to yourselves and to those who deserve your kindness.
Really basic personal site up and running https://www.memoryandthought.me
At some point I'll put some content up that isn't years old.
Tomorrow I'm fighting in my second amateur MMA fight, at 66kg, which is uncomfortably light for me. Right now I'm super dehydrated and really *really* miss carbs, can't wait to get the weigh in done tomorrow and start eating again.
Okay finally got taskwarrior setup syncing across my phone and laptop. Now I can add a task for 'write Taskwarrior clone in Rust with better syncing solution'
I like the idea of Taskwarrior but I really need my todo lists to be on many different devices and the Taskwarrior sync server is just a mess. Setting up sync is horribly, pointlessly difficult.
Just bought and read Domain Modeling Made Functional by Scott Wlaschine. Found it extremely helpful in laying out some best practices in event based systems. Recommended. https://pragprog.com/book/swdddf/domain-modeling-made-functional

Coffee break in East Village.
Reclaiming RSS
“Before Twitter, before algorithmic timelines filtered our reality for us, before surveillance capitalism, there was RSS: Really Simple Syndication … As we move away from the centralised web to the peer web, it’s time to rediscover, re-embrace, and reclaim RSS.”
Why is publishing to Sonatype so goddamn difficult? I just want to get my tiny Scala library out into the world.
Beautiful morning on my balcony 🙂
Very surprised by the maturity and polish of the Mastodon ecosystem. Using https://tuskyapp.github.io on Android and everything just works.
Wooh self hosted naval gazing!
