I have one polo shirt with the buttons on the left side rather that on the right. Every single time I wear or fold it, my muscle memory fails me and I get confused. It feels like I have to reprogram my body to complete the task. I guess this is how a left-handed person feels all the time in a right-handed world?

I've started reading the fan translation of "A sacred and terrible air" novel from Robert Kurvitz (of Disco Elysium fame), and I am surprised at how well they did.

Various other sources were praising the original Estonian style, and I think it still shows up in the English translation too.

So far I enjoy it, though the characters seem to veer close to caricature, similar to how in Disco Elysium some traits are exaggerated a little bit too much and makes some characters unidimensional.

Everybody hates Musk, but nobody can stop talking about him. I hate abusive relationships.

A special treat today, the Oudenaarde Koppenbergcross race is starting from 11:45CET (women's) and 14:00CET(men's).

This race is special as it climbs the infamous Koppenberg climb (11% avg gradient for 600m, 22% max gradient) on each lap.

The Cycling World Championship has started in Glasgow.

Can't wait for next weekend's road the races, but the track events will have to do for the moment.

Very productive day in the land of #GoActivityPub. I managed to take the first steps for an improved filtering API I wanted between the ActivityPub processing package and the storage backends.

Tangentially related to my #ActivityPub collection filtering FEP: https://git.sr.ht/~mariusor/Fediverse-Enhancement-Proposal/tree/master/item/feps/fep-6606.md

I wonder if implementing a HTML editor is a rite of passage for every frontend developer as implementing a blog is for backend ones.

Speaking of #ActivityPub things, I realized that one of my previous design decisions for the custom storage functionality of #GoActivityPub: to include both OAuth2 and ActivityPub API interfaces is now biting me in the butt when I'm trying to increase parallelism on the sqlite storage implementation.

Currently there's a single sqlite db for the whole instance - so write locking happens a lot.

Hey internet, here's some pagan black metal. Very musical, very spiritual, from eastern European druids and sheep herders. From the dirt we rise, to the dirt we return. May it lie lightly upon our graves.

For everyone watching #TDF later, you're in for a treat. Also fuck asshole spectators and fuck greedy journalist motos.

Made some improvements to my Tree model for @charmcli's Bubbletea TUI framework.

It can now do threaded conversations. 🥳

I just bought 1Kg of Hebridean Sheep wool, so my partner can knit me the most #metal jumper. :pentagram: :pentagram:

I haven't talked about #BrutaLinks and #FedBOX in quite a while, as I was focusing on a different #ActivityPub project.

Today I fixed some long-standing bugs thanks to some interest from a long time user that stumbled upon some of the problems. 🙇

Shit, I just missed a live performance from Apocalyptica in Helsinki at St. John's church.

Finally gave in and muted "threads". It got too much seeing all the hot takes about ActivityPub and the Fediverse from a bunch of Dunning-Krueger people.

OUR CONTEMPT SHOULD BE THE PILLORY TO THE FORBIDDEN EXEGESIS OF THE HALLOWED SCRIPT.

THE LUCRE OF ILL GOTTEN INSIGHT SHOULD NOT BE ABBIDED BY ONE AND ALL.

Went for a damp ride today, experimenting with lower tire pressure.

Even though it's still too high according to optimal pressure charts for gravel - ~45PSI vs ~30PSI - the ride felt good enough on pavement (still stiff enough to not worry about pinch flats) but riding on grassy off-camber surfaces I felt much more confident, plus speeding on flat grass was a pleasure.

The only thing that didn't go well today was practicing doing wheelies. :(

@Nicolaz forgive the unsolicited advice, but if you're planning to stick around, Mastodon has a method of signaling the account's "official" status by using this method: https://docs.joinmastodon.org/user/profile/#verification

I think I'm getting sick of seeing ActivityPub and reddit drama in my feed. Some keywords need to go from my follow list. :(

To conclude my weekend long attempt at a creating a toy JSON parser using a Turing state machine, I stumbled over the "Parsing JSON is a Minefield" article, and some of its corner cases dash all my nicely crafted states. :(
