There's some giant saw on tank treads going up and down my street (vibrating my house as it does) chopping down parts of a tree on one side of my house and dropping the tree parts on the other side. That tree wasn't doing anything wrong.

Just got a text message from DHL saying they're planning to deliver my new coffee roaster on Friday, which is around 4 days sooner than I was expecting, so that's nice.

What could possibly be using 20GB of RAM on my laptop right now?

The cat did not greet me at the door after work today. Was too busy putting a dent in the top of the couch.

If you run your own personal social media platform it'll never be big enough to end up on a visa application, right?

On the fence if I want to go up one tier for 2x the CPU but less than double the storage or 2 tiers for over 3x storage and 4x CPU for video.typica.us/

I'll probably just not do anything until it's at more like 80-90% disk utilization and make the decision then.

Today's conference call was tiny but a good conversation.

PNG is the closest thing that I have to an espresso secret weapon. A nice medium roast on a clean conventional PNG at 10-20% of an espresso blend often provides a great boost in both intensity and complexity.

Got my next espresso blend figured out in 1 attempt. It uses coffees from Brazil, India, and Papua New Guinea. I'm going for something with lots of intensity of flavor (you should still be able to taste the coffee in the milk drinks), complexity (unadulturated it should stay interesting as you drink it), smooth viscosity. Do not want astringency or sourness, but balanced sweetness.

video.typica.us is now running PeerTube 1.3.0! (It's also using about 61% of its disk space so I'll have to decide what I want to do about that. Upgrading to the next sized VM up is probably what I want to do since the extra core bundled with the added storage space should speed up transcoding jobs)

Lots of cops on my corner when I got home today. I'm keeping my distance.

A year ago I tried learning ActivityPub, and more or less failed. I was confounded by a spec that was so abstract I couldn't make heads or tails of it. Turns out I was missing some key things.

I have written a guide to learning about ActivityPub that I wish existed a year ago when I first set out to learn how to write social media servers that conform to the spec:

The cat noticed that I was making soup instead of petting the cat and now she's questioning my priorities.

pleroma.site vs gab 

if gab actually federates, we will be blocking it at that time. there's a few reasons for this position:

- gab itself has a tendency to disseminate content that violates our TOS

- we don't know what domain gab will be using for this service

- we don't know if this service actually exists (forking Mastodon to rewrite 90% of it? haha okay dudes)

- I see no reason to waste a lot of time on something not proven to be an actual thing yet and I am personally skeptical it will ever be a thing given gab's track record

this is the last thing I have to say on the matter, I will be keyword muting gab now

No more need for cancer warnings on coffee in California, which I think makes coffee about the only thing that doesn't give you cancer according to that state.
