Oooof, Finally, after two months, I managed to update my cash (as in, fiat money I carry around with me) records in again.

23 € "gone" which I can't account for anymore, because I haven't kept receipts or so. sighs.

I'm not trying to stan for , because I think they've handled the PR on this in maybe the WORST way they could have, but I think the headlines on articles like these miss the point.

Netflix loses a MILLION USERS! WHOA! THAT SOUNDS BAD!

It seems we forget that Netflix has to pay for that bandwidth though. Out of those million USERS, only a third of them were paying customers.

Netflix loses 300,000 paying subscribers, but also no longer has to cover the bandwidth on 600,000 others. I doubt that completely makes up the hit on profits, but it sure will have an impact on operating costs.

I wish this wasn't as clumsy, but from a business standpoint, it's not as dire as many are making it out to be.

Quick (lack of) progress update: got the electric motor ready to go in but first I have to fix the surface rust on the firewall.
It was mentioned in the car's last safety inspection so I better fix it.
Just mildly out of money so I can't afford paint at this instant. 😬
Gotta be patient for a while.
I miiiight have picked the wrong cost of living crisis to start an EV conversion!

The fact my deposit is being held and I am probably going to be charged overdraft fees for the two days I am waiting for the deposit to clear makes me want to die.

I am currently thinking about learning new programming language ecosystems and skills.

My current thoughts about - can one earn decent money with nowadays?

What does the php community say? What learning resources should I check out (for those unaware: I am a professional Rust dev and have >10 years experience in programming - no need for a beginner tutorial).

@musicmatze You don't typically make money with PHP itself. It's a tool. What you make money from is helping people with problems AND money solve that problem. Some of those are generic website problems, things that use PHP frameworks, modules, etc.. I've always found the real paying gigs haven't got a care what tools you use, so long as you solve the problem. Go find non-tech people and find what their problems are. Or, you can be another PHP code monkey for hire. Also works.

Car charging just got 21% cheaper today. Octopus go reduces their overnight rate from 12p to 9.5p per kWh.

A nice little 20% saving on travel by car

Yeah, because this is what social media needs more of: making more by blasting the plebs with their sales pitches.

Glad to be out of there...

From Today's Edition:
KellyAnne Conway sold her political consulting business to a firm affiliated with Leonard Leo when Conway was advising Trump on Supreme Court nominees. Why does this matter? Because Leonard Leo is the head of the and was lobbying Conway about @SupremeCourt Appointments while Conway was in turn lobbying Trump about those same appointments. In other words, the appearance that changed hands to the selection of Supreme Court is palpable. See Press Release of U.S. Senator Dick Durbin:
Statement On Report That Kellyanne Conway Sold Business To A Firm With Ties To Leonard Leo While Advocating For Fedsoc SCOTUS Nominees.
