  • Four years ago, I would have rated Musk higher than Zuck. Now the opposite by a wide margin.

  • Idea to work on this weekend: Figure out how to create ZIM files and package my Archivebox URL archive as one for consumption via Kiwix.

  • I got email running on the tiny server in my basement!

  • After messing around with my metal detector, tape measure, and shovel, and staring intently at my survey for an hour, I still can’t find my property pins, so I think I’ll have the surveyor come out and mark the boundaries for me. That should have the added benefit of legitimacy in the eyes of my neighbors, one of whom will be unhappy when my new fence goes through some of her flower beds, which are technically on my property.

  • I’m a YIMBY (build more housing!) but nothing makes me closer to becoming a NIMBY than companies buying homes to turn into rentals, then immediately removing all of the trees and landscaping for “easier upkeep.”

  • Working from the back porch today and loving it 🌞

  • I don’t know who needs to hear this, but you can buy new lids for your Pyrex. It took us 10 years to learn this 🤦

  • Having used a bunch of alternative browsers on iOS, I still find myself using Safari regularly because nothing else is as deeply embedded into the whole OS.

  • The updated version of the Sunday Scaries as a parent is when your child is sick on Sunday and you don’t know if they’ll be better tomorrow or you’re going to have to call off work.

  • Hot take on seed oils, sugar, and gluten: Yeah, probably not ideal for you, but our bodies are more resilient than folks give them credit for, and you’ll be fine if you consume these things.
