Don't save photos of your personal ID on your work laptop, for fuck's sake. You don't know what kind of person might have access to the data there.

I'm not saying to be inherently distrustful of your IT folks but damn you never know. And this is coming from an IT guy!

TIL Skeleton Coast. This place looks fascinating and if I had the opportunity to visit I would drop everything.

But the search engines aren't paying us enough for the excerpts they show. Meanwhile in Australia it's all just the same site regurgitating the next one's content

Rustaceans: I'm having an issue nailing down a bug.

When I specify a crate using just cc = "1.0.73" in various cargo.toml files, the build fails saying that MSVC cannot be found.

However, when I clone the repo and use the same version but specifying the path:

cc = { path = "C:\Users\...." }

The build runs just fine.

I even tried specifying the path that cargo caches crates, and that also successfully builds.

I'm at a loss as to what to focus on next

Sooo, I was able to upload a 0px by 10000px photo and the Mastodon preview did not get cropped.... not good. I had to use the mouse on the scrollbar to actually get access to the delete button

Pico handles emojis a little oddly 🤔 Seems like it has trouble keeping the space between it and the next character. At least in version 5.09

Some photos from my visit to Kinderdijk today! It was quite the bike ride to get there but all in a day’s work it was more than worth it!

I took the waterbus back to Erasmusburg though, I was starting to feel a little under the weather

Dutch windmill. The whole thing with the building and the blades towers waaay above you
The windmill from earlier but further and from across the dike
